Glad to see Dead Winter getting some love. I used to hang out with the creator in a chat. I am not surprised it's still running. One his biggest pet peeves was webcomic artists not being able to stick to anything resembling an ordinary schedule. All of mine have been posted, I'm going to go back through this thread for stuff to get caught up on, and stuff to get my roommate into webcomics. She's more than nerdy enough and barely knows they exist.

Looks like it will have about half the normal about of explosions of a Michael Bay film. Might even be good!

Not eating in the morning freaks you out? I'm confused by this. What about not eating in the morning seems a bad idea?

I... I really like the look of a woman in a dress like that.

It's a troll that was already on the each of the Lord of the Rings reviews.

Saw it and I'm very, very happy that they kept in the industrialization and technological reachings of the orcs/goblins with a lot of their city. That's a major theme from all of the Middle Earth stuff and I was disappointed at how downplayed the nature vs technology was in the LOTR films.

I get paid more per hour, but right now I'm getting 5-10 hours a week. Trade until end of the holiday season?

Yes. No real explanation for why. My sister was a stick. My brother was built like a fireplug (not fat, or even overweight, just american football running back body (wide shoulders, strong legs). My mom was skinny and my dad ran 5+ miles every day and was very fit. Me? Chubby as a baby, fat once 'chubby' didn't cover it any more.

This is appropriate for a more tap type of LARP. If he's looking for full-contact (Dagorhir, Belegarth, or similar) then only cover with cloth on any surface used for striking.

What type are you looking for, including expected level of contact (tap to full-contact), material cost, weapon type, ect?

Probably doesn't show on iPhone because of Flash. Tracking down the YouTube link which will work by pulling up the built-in YouTube application. Got it.

I don't do cons, but I do LARP.

Mostly, I'm waiting for the flood of tasks for me to go into grocery stores and buy all the Hostess products to get them off the shelves for whatever company bought that particular brand (this is, in my experience, the most common way food products are dealt with when a company buys another). Then the next round of tasks to reset the sections where Hostess used to be. Basically, Hostess going under could make a lot of work for me at a time when I don't get much work.

I like the idea of this. It's far more efficient to play World of Warcraft on a computer than with dice.

My coinflip says Conan.

Just remember, the people also in the group feel just as nervous as you. Probably some feel even more nervous. Speak slowly, to the point that you think they're going to get bored waiting for the next word. If you're nervous this will cause you to speak at about a normal pace.

If ye olden times starts less than 100 years ago, they did. Modern sports injuries are not uncommon in skeletal finds from various time periods and cultures (most notably 'Little League elbow' injuries from Welsh skeletons during the height of the English longbow). In another example, Spartans had their slaves exercise to avoid becoming fat, and most of the Spartan's young life was spent exercising. Finally, Roman philosopher Marcus Cicero is attributed a quote "It is exercise alone that supports the spirits, and keeps the mind in vigor." This is, just a survey to illustrate. If you want, there is a 17,300 year recorded history of humans engaging in exercise and sport that would constitute 'working out'. *flexes Anthropology B.S. and Sport Studies B.A.*

Lucas, by his own admission, always envisioned Star Wars as "washed down kid crap."

Pro: Extremely effective against unorganized massed infantry (which describes exactly what zombies are). Ranged weapons aren't sneered at by modern people, giving the 'glory' of winning the battle to your friends with ranged weapons makes your job far easier (survive). Zombies mostly don't wear armor. Cons: Requires discipline, a choke point, and equipment not many have. Ineffective against human enemies wielding guns.

Katana? *reaches for Roman-style tower shield and gladius* I win.

I can only add that slimming before bulking has helped me be motivated, because having tried the opposite, I visually see the changes in slimming much more readily. I can point to the weekly pictures I take and go "That fold isn't there any more, go me!" When I tried to bulk, it just felt like my legs and arms were getting bigger, but not from muscle.

Given that I am not going to grow seven inches, the body I envision as perfect is not attainable. Accepting that I can not have a perfect body has made it easier for me. I work towards the best I can make my body.

Expressing interest. As well, I'm recovering/rebuilding notes on my 3.5 world that has usually worked well for introducing 3.5 to players, and I can always ramp up any aspect that needs it for veterans (since we do have a new person to table top gaming person lurking on the thread).

Even if the she-bro is in a committed relationship, such as married?
