  • Jogging

    Quote from FrieChamp

    Today I had the worst idea ever. I went jogging.After hearing from one of my (female) friends yesterday that it took her 50 minutes of jogging for 7km I became curious. She said that it's quite embarassing, even for a girl, because 50 minutes is such a long time for that distance, but I honestly couldn't recall when or even "if" I ever travelled 7km faster than walking speed (outside a vehicle). "You go to a gym regularly and men run faster anyway so it shouldn't be a problem for you" she said. So I left my house this afternoon, checked the clock before I left - it was "3.55pm", when I came back it was "4.08pm" and I was fuckin exhausted. I felt like in a bad comedy movie. I made it upwards to the end of the street, across the intersection up that following road halfways and had to stop to catch for my breath. I started running again and that was probably mistake number 1 - I went way too fast, this is no excuse but looking at other joggers, I think I should have jogged half the speed, especially for a beginner. Anyway, across the park, which isn't that big admittedly, a little further and then I stopped again, walking to my house (I ran in a circle). Fucking pathetic. It dawns on me now that I haven't done any significant stamina training for the past 4 years and that starts to show.

    Does anyone here jog regularly or do any other stamina training? Tips maybe?

    I think I need to lie down now :-|

    This is absolutely normal what you says haha. When I started jogging I jogged somewhere 2 km only. And that was sufficient for me. I remember I couldn't breathe good as I run the last stretch. Then I imidiatly drank alot of water. Why did you begun by jogging so much? Where did you hurry in the first day? Well.. you know.. when you start it's the most hardest part but I promise, believe me - who knows. After 2 - 3 weeks of regular, determinated jogging your condition, state, will meliorate some. Rule 1: In the first day run 2 - 3 km, then begin after some time run 4 - 5, et.c

    But if you quit jogging, you have to do it all over again. But the best anaerobic exercise is from my point of view swimming. It gives so much: good stamina, good condition and a feeling of life.

    :-| too bad i don't run more in the woodlands.

    Quote from Algor

    I more or less had to force myself to beat the game today, otherwise I'd never want to play it again. I honestly don't know what those 9/10 scores were about. I'd read several interviews where they were saying they learned their lessons from Crysis, but I'd say the original was superior in every way.3/5 from me, I may come back with details later.

    ok

    so they didn't learn their lesson then?

    hey don't read this if you love stalker.

    Stalker CS is one of the biggest disapointmenst i've seen so far. This is what happends when you let publishers change "DEEP SILVER" did it.

    Visuals:

    nothing new, ok i like the god rays "sun rays" it adds more atmos but we have seen it in crysis too. Voulumetric smoke? wet surfaces? u have to be f***k joking me - this is so bullsh**t.

    it looks so-so not to good, you know what i'm sayin?

    Gameplay: one of the biggest issues ever. I hate the new map system, the new factions it's ok haha - factions and so what about that you join dem and it ends there. the upgrade repair dudes everywhere in everytown it's ridicolous - in SSOC there were more exploring then shooting this game is focusin on action. I don't like being rushed. You get to swamp and get thrown into stupid battle swarmed by stalkers from all "bases" on the map.

    this is nothing you should spend money on comeone. No it sucks honestly.

    inventory: sucks. ugly. bad. horrible. terrible. no stamina bar. repair your armor ? WTF! and use geiger meters - uh oh what? no need for them anyway anytime.

    map: old as oold. the swamp area is the ONE new now. all t he other sh**t is 50 / 50 old new and did I paid money to see cordon again?

    sound: it's ok, but fucking anoying; "the dudes say all the same all the time". and the weapon sounds are replaced .

    I could write 2 pages i swear I could but I stop here. And you may ask yourself why do I play this game then`? "cause I hope that it gets better in the end".

    overall: this game is ruined now. and the end is more ruined now. and all they did is just a waste of time and resources when they made this game. this game is over-hyped and I just made the HYPE DIE.

    DIE STALKER CLEAR SKY. I'm so glad i did not buy this game i got it ripped off torrent from TPB.

    This game failed at failing.

  • Serious thread: Is 0 a number?

    are you f**n stupid? where are you from my fellow, the cave?

    seriusly if you work with computers it should be obvious for you that computers use the binary numeral system or base2 system that represents numeric values using two symbols, usually 0 and 1.

    AHAAHAHA you don't even know

    May I just point out, when you buy a game, cd or film you don't buy the rights to do anything with it, other than follow the rules which most people blindly avoid. The software itself never belongs to you. Only the hardware ... and rightly so IMO.Don't make the mistake of confusing money parted with being able to do what you want with something.

    I don't give a monkey about DRM, I can't remember any siatuation in the past where I've needed to install a game more than 3 times.

    Just for the record, I don't think that limiting installs is the right option, at least not a number like 3 or 5. I would do something like 10.

    this is true, this is so true. even if you're using windows it does not belong to you, only the hardware in your pc do.

    so
