Thin Crust

I've also been following it on a linkshell's website. And after watching "A new beginning" trailer (probably the opening cinematic) I have a question. My knowledge of insignias are a bit lacking but, was that a Garlean Flag on the chocobo at 5:52? And does this mean that the empire is joining the Eorzean alliance in opposition to Bahamut? That being said, with regards to the audio issues I'm having, I've noticed that when I use headphones from the audio output on my TV, the audio is so low. I have to crank my TV up to max volume in order to get a decent sound. Is it because the audio output doesn't push out a lot of power?

Just talked to a friend who suggested a really simple solution. In order to get sound both from the TV and from a gaming headset, all you really need is 2 sets of audio. Basically, I would listen to the game through ear bud headphones, and I would put the USB gaming headset overtop of the ear buds I'm already wearing. This cuts out a whole lot of problems with trying to get 2 sources to play through the same audio.

I'm very curious about this. How much do you think this computer cost? Not the shell, but rather everything else.

I've been trying to figure out a way to get tv to audio output to my laptop and I'm thinking that it doesn't have that ability. I've got a strange setup in mind that would work, but I'm going to need some very specific adapters that I don't know the name to. That means I'm going to need your help to get their names. First, I'm going to need one of these. Anyone know what it's called? And one of these Have one so don't worry about it. And I'm going to need one of these except opposite. Instead of two inputs, I need two outputs. I've seen one somewhere before, but can't seem to find one. Is there a specific name for it? And finally, I'm going to need a headset that isn't usb, but rather uses the audio and mic mini input to get it to work. Does anyone know if USB or audio/mic jack has better quality? I'd really appreciate the help.

Hey, rerouting sound from the TV to the laptop. That's a great idea. I was stuck on trying to take the sound from 2 different sources into some specialized headset. This sounds like the solution. Thank you so much.

I've been spending a lot of time at a specific linkshell's forum and I'll be joining them when version 2.0 comes out. But here's a question. The group uses a program called mumble which is like team-speak. In other words, what they do is use this secondary program to support voice chat among their group. Since I'll be getting the PS3 version, I'll have to have this program running while I play on the TV. I've been trying to get my wireless headset to connect to my computer but it won't work. I'm going to have to get a different one. Or use the laptop's onboard mic but I don't know if that one will have good enough quality. Keep in mind that I will be playing on PS3 so if I get a headset with a style like this one I wont be able to hear the game on the TV. What are your suggestions? Is there a way to send the audio from both the computer program and the ps3 to the same head set, or am I going to have to try a different solution.

Last post I probably make in this thread. Rooster Teeth released the behind the scenes video on their site today. http://roosterteeth.com/archive/?id=6169&carousel=3&cid=1 Now that this season is over, does anyone have any thoughts about how they did this year?

Still very interested. There hasn't been a good Fabula Nova Crystalis game released in America yet. I had actually given up on this one completely.

I've been waiting to get this game for PS3. But it looks like a lot has changed from launch. Before, I think the story went something like this: There were 5ive island nations who were always in conflict with one another. At one point, some unknown force came and obliterated the largest of the nations, and then this mysterious force just left as quickly as it came. The nations then came together and formed an alliance because they recognized that they couldn't stand up to the unknown force alone. But mysteriously, they never came back. So all the soldiers that were once on standby didn't have anything to do. Now they are the adventurers of FF14. Is this right? What do you think I would need to know when I eventually do get into this game? What has changed since then? In that trailer, was the meteor the returning of this mysterious force? And who exactly is that old man that looks like the Gran Kiltias Anastasis from FF12? I know I'm asking a lot, but since this is going to be my first MMORPG, I want to go in prepared.

This has hardly anything to do with fitness, but I've got a 15 hour drive coming up on Wednesday. Anyone got some advice on what would be good snacking food along the way? Preferably not too unhealthy and something that will keep me awake seeing as I don't drink coffee. I also don't eat fast food so it's all gonna have to be bought before I leave.

Well, platinumed all three R&C games from the HD collection. That brings my total platinum trophy count up to 12. Is anyone else here a trophy whore like me?

Thus far, I have had a passive interest in this game. But then this trailer came out today for it. OMG! That was probably the best trailer I've seen all year. It makes me want to buy this game. You should definitely watch it.

http://roosterteeth.com/store/product.php?id=322 Also, what did you all think of the preview after the credits? http://roosterteeth.com/archive/?id=6052

I was doing squat-thrusts (burpees) last night around 10pm and I did something with my back. When I get into the push up position, what I do is I arch my back and put my stomach to the ground while my arms are still fully extended. This makes my abs work a lot harder than normal ones but I must have overdid it. All of the sudden, something popped and I just had a lot of lower back pain and I had to stop. Well, it's a really good thing I work at a hospital because I was able to talk to the radiologist when he came in. He said that since: 1. I'm young, strong, and healthy. 2. The pain is much less today than it was last night. 3. There is no pain radiating to the legs or feet. 4. No trouble urinating or pooping. There's very little chance that any lasting effects will take place. He also said that if there is a disk bulge, the pain is more often due to inflammation rather than vertebral damage. This presents sort of a problem. I don't know what kind of exercises I should do now that my back is giving me problems.

Episode 22. http://roosterteeth.com/archive/?id=6014 That's it folks. Season 10 is over. And I can honestly say that I didn't see that coming about Carolina's past. Also, we were wrong about the blue freelancer being Caboose. But you'll have to see for yourselves. One more thing, in the podcast they already confirmed season 11.

I've done that too. Earlier, I said how I was on a vegetable and cereal diet for a month while running 3-4 miles a day and I still didn't lose a pound. For some reason my body refuses to lose the fat it has. I'm thinking about joining that "6-week body makeover" that is supposed to be really good. Basically, they take a medical approach to weight loss in that they analyze your specific body and how it reacts to specific foods. Then they build a customized plan based around it.

Absolutely. I remember doing them back when I was on the middle school (american) football team some 10 years ago. When I go into the pushup position, I arch my back so that my stomach is curved towards the ground to get more abdominal activity.

Hey Bahamut, I'm sorry I never responded to your thoughtful post for me. I have heard before about muscle memory and about how the same exercise won't do much for you after a while and that's what I'm going to try. To be honest, my arms and legs are strong and don't have much fat on them, the the exact opposite is true of my gut. Basically, I need a way to lose my weight in my abdomen. So that's why, if you've seen my feed, I've started doing push ups and squat thrusts (knows as burpees nowadays for some reason) and making sure to stretch my stomach down very far. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I absolutely hate abdominal exercises. I hate that burning feeling in my gut. I think that swimming was the only exercise that I could stomach (pun intended) that worked my abs. Do you have any recommendations on ab workouts that don't involve situps or crunches? Things that I could rotate through a week at a time. Things like biking that work your abs but don't give you that overwhelming burn?

Click "Track" tab on the top. Sometimes you need to click it twice for it to change pages. On the box that says "search for an activity" type elliptical and it will auto-search for every exercise with the words that you type...much like google does when you start typing in the search box. Enter how much time you were on it Click "Save workout"

Also, there's something wrong with my car battery and I had to get a new one even though it's only 3 years old. It's just too bad that there's no "walking while carrying 35 lbs battery" option on fitrocity.

You know what? Forget what I said before about MoAbi being great for workout music. I just bought 2 CD's from "Two Steps From Hell" and it is incredible. But still, my all time favorite piece of workout music would have to be Daniel K's .Say you're going for a run. You start out gaining speed in a jog and then then at 15 seconds in, you explode in a really fast sprint. Then at 1:20, you can cool off in a walk or a slow jog to catch your breath. Then at 1:58, you continue your sprint till 2:35 and finish off on a slower pace. It's the perfect way for me to end those long runs. For some reason, this song makes me want to push myself to full throttle.

Episode 21. Horde mode FTW!

oops, I just put that I did a 60 mile run instead of a 6 mile. I can't figure out how to edit it. Does anyone know? EDIT: never mind, just figured it out.

Oh no, I just realized that I also lost my Mass Effect 2 save files!!! When I buy ME3 eventually, I won't have my history to finish the story.

Oh, and they came out with another PSA. About time seeing as we haven't seen one since episode 8. Their usual cycle is 4 episodes and then 1 PSA. I guess it's because there are so many episodes this season. http://roosterteeth.com/archive/?id=5943 PSA: Voting Fever
