Congrats mate. You probably just want to relax now after all that hard work.

Fallout NV, Fallout 2, Planescape Torment, Neverwinter Nights 2, Knights of the Old Republic 2, Alpha Protocol. All of these games have amazing writing especially NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer.

Planescape torment was the greatest!!

Anybody watch First Contact on SBS the last few days? Unbeleiveable, the ignorance of a couple of the people on the show.

Was heart warming to see them come out the other side with a new perspective.

Was causally walking and looked up and went "ohh sweet a dragon" *fire balls hits me* journey over
heck!!

I actually enjoyed the intro, i spent a few time of walking around looking for loot.
loved the fact that theres no "how to be a leader" it's just bam, you are the hope of this world
you can either save it or destroy it.

Did you import your save files?

 

[Igloo]

Intro was so long. Easy 2 hours into it. Haven't gone much further yet. Will play some more this afternoon.

 

[VitalDread]

The war room stuff is pretty cool

 

[immortalmike]

hahaha

Nah. Didn't know about it before I started and now can't be stuffed starting again.

First drive today. Drove down to Knox City.

If you guys didn't catch catalyst the other night, i would highly recommend "Low carb diet, fat or fiction". I pretty much changed my diet along similar lines 2 years back, dropped 10kg's and lost about 5% body fat in about 10 weeks, and have never put it back on, despite doing minimal exercise recently.

Very interesting, how did you end up changing your diet?

15 hours into DA 3
Finally met the bad guy and had epic cut scenes that happened
This game is amazing.

My housemate saw that last week and has made the change. He's loving it and I might give it a crack after christmas.

Main thing i cut out was rice (which was hard in China) but also all cereals and bread and stopped eating pasta. Allow myself to eat pizza or a burger on weekends. A later change i made was cutting out breakfast, that's not for everyone but i find myself less hungry now at midday than i was before when i would eat bread or cereal for breakfast. Look up "intermittent fasting" on the net, getting a lot of publicity now.

Interesting. I've been trying to drop some KG's before summer and have been struggling.

Was able to lose a fair amount of weight (about 15kg) when I was working 6am-4pm full time. But since I moved to part time work I'm finding it heaps harder. Some days you're getting up at 4am, some you're getting up at 1pm, really ****s your routine up. You'd think working half the amount of hours would mean you exercise more, but without the routine you don't. Maybe I'm just making excuses
