  1. Yeah, that always gets me on my swims, because it is early, I haven't had enough water, and I don't hydrate during. But I think the back has more to do my hamstrings and IT band pulling too hard. I was having a bunch of hip pain after running and so I did a bunch of strength exercises targeting that area, but now I think I need to get my back muscles stronger and keep working on flexibility. My hamstrings have always been way too tight.
  2. My back keeps tightening up after runs, whether they are long, short, and regardless of pace. It doesn't affect me at all while running, but right after it's a pain. I've been working on some stretching and strengthening routines, but no progress yet.
  3. Yeah I mean we get our fair share of strange posters who show up with their rote schtick, and it can even be entertaining. But it does wear thin after awhile, and I'd argue Sonic has passed that point. Not that all us regulars don't wear on each other from time to time, we all get stuck in our ways. But I'd also argue that many of us that have been here for years have changed quite a bit, and we also don't tend to post in exactly the same manner over and over again. There is a difference between being a genuine person and having a small script that you never deviate from. Sonic is stuck repeating the same schtick over and over again, and hasn't shown any signs of letting off the gas pedal a bit.
  4. MiB 3 is worth it just to watch Smith deliver his line about city miles to Josh Brolin.
  5. Yeah, the only thing worse than a Union having too much power is a school district having too much power, unfortunately. The best thing I find is keeping both the school districts and unions small enough in scale to allow the employees to have enough influence to matter. My wife and I are both in smaller districts, and the union basically begs us to get involved and help with negotiations and site representation. On the adverse, my wife was part of a big district and had pretty much no say on the goings on. They did have better lawyers though.
  6. Well, I reported it, but honestly I've lost a little confidence in the reporting feature since Sonic's posts about LGBT pushing pedophilia and beastiality are still sitting on the forum: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/106340-the-political-thread-hobbes-edition/page-35
  7. I don't understand why the mods don't delete some of the garbage this guy is putting up. Particularly in the general forum, which is the public face of the forum and Obsidian. I mean, WoT is WoT, but I'm pretty sure General is supposed to be used for more than just "look at me! I need attention!" posts.
  8. Huh, hard to replace Ron Perlman. I imaging the next actor they choose to play Wolverine will be just as jarring.
  9. That game still looks great.
  10. Mutant: Year Zero is super charming. I'm hoping this is a trend of games with great characters and a solid tactical combat system.
  11. We;come back to the forums, Krezack.
  12. You could play through all the FEAR games, that would take awhile. But I second Prey.
  13. I should probably state that I don't really care either way and am just playing devil's advocate. I think all this genre blending is the wonderful thing about games.
  14. So how is the gameplay different? Because it "looks" like a big part of the gameplay is exploring a big world, riding a horse, and sitting by campfires. Yes, I am being a bit facetious, but I do think it is funny how similar the two are. Both force you to play a specific character too. At least I get better hair and wardrobe options in RDR2.
  15. So The Witcher is an RPG but Red Dead isn't? They kind of look like the exact same game in those screens.
  16. Amazon has Prime content that is free, and then a bunch of stuff you can buy or rent. Most of their free movies seem to be classics (well, sort of classic ) from the 80's.
  17. Drinking a great Mexican Hot Chocolate beer stout from Fieldwork while my son plays ice hockey. My back is a bit tight from heavy swim sessions the last two weeks, but this beer is helping. Thank goodness for a sports bar overlooking the ice. My wife is stuck at a Nutcracker performance for my daughter, so I clearly pulled the right duty for the night.
  18. Of course if you have artists designing those vanity items for you individually, and they are existing in the game uniquely, it would make sense that type of personalized experience will cost an arm and a leg.
  19. I'm sure there is a sweet spot, but that is never going to be the focus of a company. They want to find the sweet spot that gets people to pay them, and rightly so, they aren't in it for charity. That's why I've always preferred subscription models. I pay a flat rate and the company still has to cater to my interests as a customer moving forward. Sadly that model is in decline.
  20. Of course, both GTA and RDR offer fantastic single player campaigns that don't cost extra and have a tremendous amount of content.
  21. Melkathi guilted me into buying Mutant: Year Zero. So far it is excellent. I like the mix of exploration and combat. Took me a bit to get used to the movement, seems more geared toward a controller, but it was a short adjustment time.
  22. Someone's bitter. That had to have been made by someone who has never had a relationship. Either that or a ruined Sugar Daddy.
  23. Not that I think many even take on private investors, but investing in video game companies seems to be a pretty risky proposition. Unless you get in on the ground floor before some indie studio blows up, it would seem to be a good way to lose money, or at least not gain much. Also I have a hard time believing the OP is in a position to invest meaningfully in a billion dollar industry if he is posting for details on an obscure video game forum. But maybe I've grown cynical.
