On Sunday, I and 2,226 other athletes toed the waters of Lake Coeur d'Alene in idaho for the Ironman Coeur d'Alene.
The event was a triathlon, consisting of (one after the other) a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike, and a marathon run of 26.2 miles.
I finished the race in a greater fashion than I ever could have imagined (and certainly didn't plan for things to happen the way they did).
I'd usually be at least a bit more reluctant to post this sort of thing. It might come off as a slight bit braggardish or attention-whorish. But the fact is that 3 years ago, when I set out to enter the sport of triathlons and at the same time set a goal for completing an ironman, the Shack was one of the first places I came to to tell about my goal and for advice, and the shack answered back in full force. The initial post is now long-lost in the great DB crash, but this personal victory is one that all of us here share.

Has anyone who has played a rogue/warrior for a long while and rolled a caster alt? I've got a super dominant DPS warrior atm (4800AC, 5300HP, 946 unbuffed atk pwr, 28% crit in battle, MS axe). But I made the mistake of xferring when some opened up for our server on azjol-nerub. Right now the server im on, Norggaran, is pathetic. PVP is mostly non existent, and when BGs are up, its usually 10 alliance vs our 7 horde. zomg fun. Anyhow I felt compelled to roll a lock on another server. Its been meh so far (lvl 25). I just can't my lock becoming an absolute monster in PVP/PVE like my warrior is =( I guess I feel since I have a 60 rogue already along with the warrior that I need to try a caster.
Anyone else gone from melee to caster and actually enjoyed it?

I went to the mall with some chicks I know, looking for running shoes and they conned me into getting my ear pierced, I've never had my ears peirced ever and was kind of interested to see what it would look like. Should I get a gauge going now or what?

I'm your average 28 year old dude that wants to work out and get in better shape. I'm not overweight, in fact I'm probably still a bit under. 6'5 and circa 170 pounds. What I'd like to do is three-fold;
1. More upper body strength. I've got the skinny arm thing going on.
2. More stamina and cardio ability; running gets me winded after a while and I run down faster than I'd like over the course of a day.
3. Keep the belly thing from starting and maybe toss 10 to 20 pounds of muscle on in it's place. I don't have a gut really but I can see that being the first place I start gaining flab if such a thing were to occur. Call it a hunch.
What My Plans Are, and Where You Talk
Today I went t the company gym for the first time. What I did there was the following;
Elliptical on a medium setting for 10 minutes, distance covered was about a mile. Would have taken it farther but a chick I know and hadn't seen in like 2 months saw me and came over and we chatted and I got to say hello to her 3 cute friends. Obviously the work out has to stop for some things.
Free weight curls; I used 20 pounders, I think I should have gone with 15's, I could lift the 20's but I wasn't very fluid at all with my movements and I started to slow down after probably 25 or 30, wasn't really counting.
Some "Chest Machine" where you push away from your chest against some handle jobbers while sitting down. 75 pounds and it was about all I could do repeatedly. Did 20 reps, took a 2 minute breather, and did another 20.
Another 7 minutes of the elliptical. Overall time at gym doing things and not checking girls that need my special attentions added up to right around an hour.
What Do You Suggest I Do Next?
Input on diet and weight room antics are very appriciated.
Thanks,

So I just went through the Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon, and I have to say it was one of the most satisfying experiences in my entire gaming life.
Not to mention the awesome reward when you open the 2 hidden circles. go dak'kon!
this depth in this game is absolutely unreal.

Also, I'll ask again because a part of me just want's it to be true. Is Star Wars Galaxies any good after all the changes? More than anything THAT was a game that upset me a lot since a MMORPG based in the Star Wars universe I thought would be my gaming nirvana.

TODAY IS THE BIRTHDAY OF THE LEGEND KING_DARIUS

famous last words: I took part in the World of Warcraft beta stress test a couple of weeks ago, a choice which proved ill-advised now that this superb game has been ripped from my hands until its final release.
I DEMAND YOU BOMBARD HIS SHACKMESSAGE INBOX WITH BEST BIRTHDAY WISHES! HE JUST MIGHT READ THEM BY HIS NEXT BIRTHDAY.

- Swings lay flat on the ground because I was doing them in a non-standard way that is no longer supported.
- Wooden boards + attic vent in Apt #6 is too much. An explosion nearby will CRASH YOUR CLIENT, so please shoot them down before getting too rough in there.
- Rocket on office roof is campable.
- Some secret passages have too much health and can take a lot of damage before opening up.
I fixed a ton more tiny things, and I'm learning modeling real quick so I can make a tiny rod for the blinds. The existing one is made of a physbox and sometimes thrown objects get "caught" in it. Try it.
Concerning traps: I have updated the barrel-launcher and force-fields to behave like the swinging hammer. You activate a trigger with the switch and it becomes a trap. You may still remotely launch barrels from the monitors.
Thats about it. Let me know about any balance issues you may encounter or visual things that don't seem right. Feel free to just mention it in game and I'll see it in my logs. Thank you!

I have my Xbox hooked up via component cables to my projector that does 720p native. My cable box is hooked up the same way and gives me 720p no problem. I've set my dashboard to do 480p and 720p and even just 720p.
When I play some games (like Halo2, burnout 3) everything is good to go. So why is it that Burnout Revenge is stuck in 4:3.

Seriously, that game was fucking hard. Are the Mega Man X games for PS2 anywhere near as good? I saw 7 and 8 had gone over to that 3d version, it looks...very un-Mega Man.
I'm gonna have to pick up the MM Anniversary collection now (After I finish MMZ2). I cut my teeth on Zero, now I wanna see if I can beat Mega Man (1) without breaking the disc outta frustration.

Now I have to wait until business hours to find out if they'll let me send it back! God damnit I knew something like this was going to happen. D:
I put the muffler under my car to see if it would fit and it totally sits way too far under the car. This sucks! and is embarassing!
