Exercise works better against depression than any meds. Exercise also has no adverse effects, dramatically improves your health, makes you feel and look better. Its the best thing a depressed person can do. Considering that a common cause of death among exercise enthusiast is heart problems due to overexertion, I wouldn't go as far as saying that it has no adverse effects. Everything in moderation even the excesses. Other alternatives to fight depression are arts and crafts or just getting a hobby.

Can I ask why?

"Back in the USSR" was written by Paul, he and Ringo are the only ones that are still alive. Coincidence? It is also suspicious that both deceased Beatles died of violent causes, could the Beatles have been a cell of sleeper Russian spies that used their fame to feed information back to the KGB? At any rate, I'll be gone for a while I have a conspiracy theory to polish and dangle in front of paranoid schizophrenics.

Learn.

My conspiracy sense is tingling.

Well done Ros. The highest number I've ever gotten to was 3 in a night, and I didn't even raise any money. I did have a good time with one of them afterwards though. All I've done tonight is have a drink and work on a paper. Does kissing two at the same time counts as one? If so, I only have 2.

I find the fact that a waitress knew who Stalin was unbelievable. Next up you should join those people that put Hitler quotes and pretend it was Taylor Swift that said it.

Wals I think you forgot to use your alter ego.

You have raised a good point. Where do we draw the line from being overly fastidious around hard-core rules and the reality where a person stops playing or enjoying the game as they try to follow these rules. It depends on what the core of the game is, for a game like ARMA that is closer to being a simulation would probably not benefit from some of the mechanics of a game like COD. So it depends more on what your target audience is, what kind of game you're trying to build and how the mechanics may aid or hinder the overall experience. There is not such thing as a line but there is only what is playable, because in the end if your game is too frustrating with too little reward players are going to stop playing.

These are good brainstorming ideas but they are not a game, you should focus on a coherent overall experience instead of a mishmash of good ideas thrown together. Take out what is not necessary, figure out what's important and eliminate what goes against it. On a more specific note, some of the ideas are counter intuitive to the interaction of player and game in particular the ones that have the player doing their own journal work. Aside from the fact that not everyone is up to the task (I know i'm not) it takes away from what's important, playing the game. Like I said, you need to take these ideas and turn it into a cohesive game. Otherwise it's just thoughts on the ether, they may be nice but they don't have matter.

Fine; we won't quote you, just tell us: How is everyone feeling at the studios? Is morale high? It is usually at this juncture when everyone either knows that the game is going to be good or bad and react accordingly.

Different strokes for different folk, some people may just have an interest in maintaining a healthy lifestyle that doesn't include excessive exercise. They are not training so much as just keeping active, also consistency offers good results in terms of gains and health, 3-4 times a week every and a healthy diet is more than enough to just be healthy.

Specially if they were shipped to Gamestop

Love that game, the highlight is the endgame maps.

Games can have their own built in memory management systems actually. It can really help with things like memory fragmentation and the like (more of a concern on the consoles than on the PC, however. On Eclipse we had a memory manager called the Small Block Allocator that dealt with the requests for very small amounts of memory and the like. So while the OS goes "Oh you want a 4 MB memory block? Okay." Internally, we work with that 4 MB memory block in a way that the OS is oblivious to because as far as the OS is concerned, it handed us a chunk of memory and it's ours to do with what we want. For DAO and DA2, it was pretty much required to prevent excessive memory fragmentation (if you have 100MB of memory but your largest block is 5 MB, you'll fail a memory request for 6MB which typically results in a crash). Whether or not this is genuinely the issue with Ghosts I'm pretty oblivious to (for obvious reasons), but games definitely do handle their own memory allocations from time to time (there may also be potential performance optimizations depending on the level of control the software may exert on how it structures its memory). I don't know that what I've seen from CoD warrants the usage of so much memory, graphics wise it seems the same as the rest of the MW games. My guess is that it will have 300 particle effects running simultaneously with post processing shaders up the bazoo throughout a 100 scripted sequences; I'm just glad they managed to put in the gameplay among all that.

Yeah. Here's another perspective: http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2013/11/01/the-badbios-virus-that-jumps-airgaps-and-takes-over-your-firmware-whats-the-story/ I got infected by the BadBios a few years back, real nasty piece of work. Had to replace the entire motherboard.

It's a fine art to ride the edge of the rules, wouldn't say he has more freedom than the rest of you as, well, none of you actually try it. Ok, first try: "Hitler was an OK guy in small doses"

A manly man you are. Wait, IRCC you live in FL, where the hell do you chop firewood?

I don't think this thread is the appropriate one for this forum.

I'm playing L.A. Noire today. Coincidence? Not on this forum, sister. I'm not your sister buddy. Sorry. Didn't realise you were Scottish. Heh, why not? I drank enough Scotch to qualify.

Woke up and realized that I had to mourn the Ladies thread. On the other hand we know that Oby can operate with some greater degree of latitude than the rest, so he may be one of the mods or developers.

Yep it seems like a very self gratuitous movie.

Funnily enough, I just saw this post without context and thought it was about Skyrim. Guess it applies to more than one game.

Better.
