First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Oct 02, 2006 6:19am PDTMost of my time with Company of Heroes this weekend was been spent on multiplayer, but I also managed to get through several campaign missions. So far I really like what I'm seeing. Not sure it approaches that "best strategy game since X" status, but another real solid effort by Relic. Not making much of an effort apparently is EA, as the NBA Live 07 reviews I'm seeing for the 360 are really disappointing. They had another year to develop and yeah there are some new moves in there, but the basic game is supposedly still broken. Totally awesome :( I guess I should be glad they don't have exclusive rights. Now I'll just have to force myself to start liking the 2K series. Also on FileShack

Well I bought it and played it some... I just can't get into it... sure it has a great design element but after you place your stuff the beginning round... well there is not else left to do...
Some compare it to Risk... sure...
I seriously want to like it... I do... too bad there are no spies or counter-intelligence to send to the enemy... or just more interaction...
It was designed to be simple... but I am just finding it rather dry (as a deserted atomic bomb shelter)...
Now if it gave you options to play MissleCommand and shoot down the missles... that could be fun...
It cost me $17.50 ... who wants to take it off my hands for $12 ?

So in the breakroom at work is an issue of Entertainment Weekly with BSG on the cover. I open it up to look at the articale and there are some pretty significant spoilers. I didn't have time to read anything, but a few pictures, one in particular was pretty telling.
I don't care about spoilers. I read everything I can about stuff, because I'd rather know than wait. But some people are extremely sensitive about them so showing pics like that seems odd to me.
BTW, the pic of which I speak was Boomer in a uniform getting reinstated by Adama into the fleet

what a terrible piece of shit game.
horrible teammate AI, impossible odds, i'm not even playing on hard and i've had to restart at least 100 times, no joke. i don't run and gun and yet somehow enemies are able to hit me and i'm not able to hit them even though i can clearly see their heads behind whatever they cower behind.
oh, and then dropping a sniper rifle to me because you know... you might need to snipe... AND THEN SEND ME INTO FUCKING CQB IS NOT FUNNY. so for the next 3 hours i had to snipe with a machine gun that had no sights on it. fucking fun. no wait, it's not

This has gotten me some results I'm pretty happy with. I actually have some shape to my shoulders and I'm threatening to develop tits pecs. I know I need some kind of real cardio routine, like jogging or swimming, to actually lose the spare tire around my waist, but that's a big step for me, and realistically, I don't see it happening any time soon.
So, what are some other easy exercises I can do daily, at home, to work on different muscle groups and continue my slow (but comfortable) progress? Stuff that I can do without weights would be great (there's a word for this, but it escapes me at the moment), but I could go buy some simple hand weights, too.

I dont know what the problem is but my stupid 360 cant see any of the music or pictures I have, although when you go into Media Center it does see the pictures. All of my music is on a different PC on my network and the Media Center PC lists it all just fine. I just cant see it on the 360 extender. Any ideas? Do I have to have the files stores on the media center Pc? If so what folder? Why is this so retarded?

I'm not a big fan of Rogue-likes, but if its your kinda thing and you're down for something a little "new", it might be your cup of tea.
