  1. That just happened to me for the first time today. I was playing Star Ocean: First Departure (never played the original) when an extremely familiar track was playing in the background of a village. It took me awhile to remember where I've heard this before; Hale-Bopp's "Summertime" ReMix. As soon as I did, I appreciated the original and the remix even more.

    Anyone had the same encounter? BTW, First Departure rocks. Huge fan of Star Ocean 2 on the PS1 and I was glad that the prequel's remake is modeled after SO2. Star Ocean 3 sucked.

    i think there needs to be more star ocean fans out there, i love the series and SO2 to death... 3 was pretty bad until the very end, you got some pretty cool skills... never played the first one, i guess i should haha...

    Truth.

    Also since I'm born in -89 and never had a NES, SNES or anything I pretty much started from PSX and have heard only a fraction of earlier VGM. Heh. Yeah..

    weird, im born in -88 and i was well adept in the whole classic gaming scene, but then again having an older brother and an older cousin did help also... (streets of rage ftw)

  2. if you havent felt the .0003 second lag on these controllers then you are clearly not a good smash player

    sometimes im going for my waveshine to infinite drill spike face pwn illusion up air sweetspotted fsmash to perfect meteor, but that damn .0003 second delay really messes you up

    its why i lost to ken, not cause he's better than i am

  3. I take that back. It would seem my information was outdated. Here's an article from Mayo Clinic on July 26th, 2008, indicating that we may all be able to save a LOT of time in the gym from here on out:linkage. Essentially, studies have found that ONE set of 12 reps does basically the same thing as multiple sets, there's little benefit to repeating. Fine with me!

    holy crap, i honestly cant believe that to be true lol

  4. Be careful doing that. Very often people hurt themselves weight training because the weights they're using are beyond their current abilities. When you lift a weight that's too heavy, you unconsciously use other muscles to compensate. If you're lifting something too heavy with your arms, you compensate first with the muscles of your shoulder, and then if it's still too much, with your upper back muscles. It pulls your spine out of alignment and puts you at risk for a slipped disc. I speak from personal experience there, you do NOT want a slipped disc.

    People want big muscles now, because we've been told "If you build it, they will come." :wink: That might be true, but you could tear muscle too. Your ideal weight on any arm building exercise should allow you to do 12 reps, and you should have a decently hard time completing that last rep. Starting out, 2 sets is just fine. Over the course of a few days, your muscles will adapt to it and you'll be able to do more. Add sets as you feel able. Increase your weight when you can do 6 sets without feeling tired out.

    i always thought 3 reps was the ideal? i guess im wrong, im working with around 20lbs for both arms and i can do 3 sets of 12 reps pretty easily, so i might move up to 22.5 and then start working for 6 sets like you guys say and see how that goes

  5. Hey, so I've recently come upon a gaming void, where I dont know what game to play next... I'm sorta sick of dedicating my life to a video game, just to have beaten it (to death) and be like "that was great... sooooo.. now what?"

    like I'm just sick of playing a video game just so it stays in the dust, but with that being said, my choices of video games get a little slim, because im either stuck playing some pointless online game, or an mmorpg where in the end im basically going in circles trying to chase for the highest gear or rank, which is cool, i totally wanna be one of those guys that reaches the top.. the only thing is... getting to the top is just another way of "beating" the game, and theres always those guys that has no lives and will always be able to "beat" you in that top level just cause you dont spend every waking minute like they do on the game...

    i was just wondering how you guys felt about this, what your solutions are, etc
