That's it! Thank you soooooo much. That was driving me nuts.

Can someone help me remember the name of this game? I've spent nearly an hour doing keyword searches and cannot for the life of me figure out what it was called.
It's a fairly recent game where you have like 10 minutes or less to explore (in first-person) an abandoned civilization on a fairly desert-like world. There are hints of ruined buildings all around, and the game has a mostly brown hue/coloring. Each playthrough, you basically have a limited amount of time to explore as far as you want in any direction, and at the end of that set time, there is a very unexpected and surprising meteor strike that makes the whole screen flash.
I remember the music being very beautiful, and it gets very loud as the meteor hits. Overall, the game really has an emotional feel, because the strike is so unexpected. I remember watching several people on YouTube do blind plays and capturing their reactions.
I CANNOT for the life of me remember the name of the game. Would really appreciate any help!

Dark Cloud might offer at least one possibility:
If it counts, chanting starts around 0:33.

Awesome idea and tempting to buy, but I'm wondering why they decided to limit it to ONLY these 30 games with no possibility of adding any more. Seems like a lot of wasted potential, given the nostalgia factor so many people seem to have with "that one game" that wasn't really mainstream. For instance, Top Gun.

Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!

About to pass 2k pullups for 2016...

Guess that means I'm going to have to shoot for 265 tomorrow. I can't be left behind again.
Good luck! Lock that core, engage the lower body and own it!

Did anyone hit their goals for 2015? I did okay and could have done way better, but 2015 threw a lot of emotional turbulence at me, really made my focus suffer. But, as it stands:
GOALS
Bench Press: Goals was 275 for three reps. NO. Advanced from 235 for three reps to 255 for three reps. Got 265 for two.
Gonna go ahead and scratch this one off the list. Put up 275 for a triple, double then single today
Dear 285, I am coming for YOU.

Try putting in "One Arm Lat Pulldown" in the tracking search to see if that's what you're talking about.

Sorry for the emotional turbulence, man, but considering that, still pretty manstrous (yeah I said it) progress overall. Those pullups are balls nasty and that OHP ain't no joke either. You'll get it this year!
Thanks for the encouragement, man. Super-congrats on the certification and new client! Hope you get lots of enjoyment out of that.

I am pretty interested to see what squatting 3 times a week does.
It makes the booty go BOOM.
I haven't received a year-in-review email either.

Goals for 2015. I want to be able to perform three reps on these exercises for these weights:
Bench Press: 275 pounds
Squat: 315 pounds
Pullups: bodyweight + 90 pounds
Deadlift: 365 pounds
Overhead Press: 185 pounds
And I also want to weigh at least 210 pounds (currently 195) with a bodyfat of 15% or less by the end of the year. Aiming high on a couple of these goals, but I still think they are achievable.
Did anyone hit their goals for 2015? I did okay and could have done way better, but 2015 threw a lot of emotional turbulence at me, really made my focus suffer. But, as it stands:
GOALS
Bench Press: NO. Advanced from 235 for three reps to 255 for three reps. Got 265 for two.
Squat: NO. Worst progress of all five lifts. Advanced from 245 for three reps to 275 for three reps, and tweaked my back attaining that new goal (had my rack set too high, and had to go on my toes a bit to put the bar back on. My back didn't like it for some reason...)
Pullups: YES! Three clean, dead-hang pullups with two plates on me. New goal for 2016 is 110.
Deadlift: SO CLOSE. Got 355 then my left knee really started to act up. Had to switch from conventional stance to sumo stance and start building my way back up, but I'm really optimistic about progress for this year. Setting my goal a bit higher at 385.
Overhead Press: NO. Advanced from 155 to 165. I guess the explosion of strength I gained in my shoulders finally hit a plateau, but I think I can hit it this year.
Body weight: NO. Got up to 203, but emotional stuff really made this fluctuate. Currently at 198 with bf % around 12, so hopefully we'll see some better progress as my stress evens back out.
How did you all do?

Heya guys! finally settled into my new place and it has a few locations of the gym I went to at my previous place of living! The downside is they still don't have many power racks/squat racks. Usually 2. The newer one has a raised platform of fake wood, what's the point of that?
I might look at other gyms depending on my contract, since I live in a larger area now, it's pretty busy sometimes and my current routine is using barbells for half of it.
I talked to one of the managers the other day and he said once they get my account transferred over from the other location they'd be able to look at it. I signed up for a year membership which is PAST, so it should be month to month.
Any suggestions of dealing with gyms if I want to switch? I know some are pretty brutal with letting you go and such. I just want more racks.
Can't give you any tips on switching gyms, but I'm guessing the wooden platform you mentioned is for deficit deadlifts and other similar exercises.
I can't comment on gyms sorry. But I was looking for weighted pull ups and I can't find it on fitocracy. That or weighted dips.
When you're tracking pullups or dips, go to "advanced options," it drops down from the upper-right corner of the exercise. You can then select bodyweight or added/subtracted weight. However, if you're tracking on your phone, I've heard some people have issues with advanced options on mobile devices.

I probably don't eat enough.
My experience with this has been like so: those who say they think they are eating enough probably aren't. Those who think they are NOT eating enough DEFINITELY aren't.

I hate to be the downer here, but why are people going on about this? I keep seeing this everywhere. I mean... its cool don't get me wrong, but when something gets this sort of attention I expect it to be utterly STUPENDOUSLY good considering how much amazing stuff doesn't get the same light of day in comparison.
I would chalk it up to "writers gonna write, bloggers gonna blog." All it takes is a little exposure for something like this to catch fire. I'm sure there is plenty of more amazing stuff out there, but I don't sit down and actively look for that kind of music. So, if I come across it in an article or something else, I'll likely check it out. Not fair, but the nature of the beast.

Haven't gone in a couple weeks, but I went yesterday.
Maintaining my bench at 65lbs. for incline and 75lbs. for straight and decline.
Stepped up to 95 lbs. (45 + 25x2) on my squats for two sets, felt real good. I can't really move anymore.
Did an extra set of shoulder press at 40lbs, so it's time to work a 50 lbs. set in there.
Nice! Keep movin' on up. Glad to hear you're still making an effort to get in there. I'm betting that soon you'll hit an unexpected moment where you realize you're really starting to enjoy it, and can't bear to be away for more than a day or two.
In other news, Friday is the best day of the week. Not because it's the start of the weekend, but because Friday is SHOULDER DAY.

Does this group even lift anymore?
Who achieved a goal recently? Who is still recovering from an injury? Who is finally injury free and back on track (me)? Who is getting so swole their friends are becoming concerned for their health?
-
I wonder. What is the proper etiquette if you're right in the middle of a heavy lift and you accidentally let out a fart? I'm sure this has happened to everyone at least once.
I might be the only person this hasn't happened to, but that doesn't mean I'd be horrified if someone else did it beside me. Just own it, look at whoever might have heard it (if they're looking at you) and shrug. Bonus points if you say, "Sometimes the awesome just can't be contained."

hi
Haha, that made me laugh. I'll be sure to drop you a line if I do become interested in getting a gaming PC. As for now, bought D3 on the Xbox One and began playing last night.

I would play on PC, but sadly I no iz master race. I have only a standard laptop that would probably self-destruct if I tried to run anything more taxing than Half-Life.

Hey D3-ers,
As I understand it this game is going on sale for Xbox One soon for a heavy discount, so I'm considering getting it. I've never played any Diablo games, but I generally enjoy RPGs, and I especially enjoyed Torchlight on the Xbox 360, and as I understand it there are a lot of similarities between Torchlight and Diablo.
So, I guess my question is, if I pick this up, am I likely to feel overwhelmed and clueless, or is this pretty approachable to someone who has never played a Diablo game and is somewhere between "novice" and "experienced" when it comes to dungeon crawlers?

Can't remember the name of this game

I did that same search (among others), almost word for word, and Bing let me down. Nothing about Timeframe in the top 100 hits. Thanks again.
