Downloaded the open beta of Neverwinter Online last night, only played for about 30 mins but so far I'm actually really enjoying it. Gameplay is different enough to other mainstream MMOs like WoW to feel new and fun, while still being similar enough that you aren't headf**ked from a learning curve. I haven't played the Neverwinter Nights games so I don't know if it's the same as them lol. Graphics are also quite pleasing, nice colours and everything just glows. Rolled whatever the tanking class is called since I'm way too used to melee classes from WoW, and everyone knows tanks are the most sought after group members in these games Given it's free to play, I'd recommend at least giving it a shot. Was only like a 4GB download too.

hahaha how you know what ass tastes like? Supermarket mushrooms taste great in food I reckon the "other kind" not so much lol, but it's not as though you're adding those to your carbonara.

Ultimately what's the point in getting concentrate over isolate? Just a cost thing? Surely isolate can only be better. Not like it's comparing WPI to micellar casein or something.

I know how much you love your mushrooms too Richard hahaha

I'll pay this.

Oh but they're so much less damaging than alcohol and tobacco Each to their own haha

In the last 18 months, alcohol has entered my body 5 times. Try again

Don't stare too long or you'll go blind

haha I'm not talking about meeeeeeeeee, I know I'm the shit (inb4 Birds lol) but fanks again lol

Ok I might be surprised, but it's not your goal I'm training for aesthetics, perhaps you're just lucky to have a decent appearance without that goal in mind.

Hell yeah man, sounds good. I'll feel old as fark though, you're only turning 20 huh?

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! Going out that night?? You gotta! We party together

There is no way I'll be up out of bed before like 3pm....and even then I'll be in no state to operate a motor vehicle let alone a bike LOL Tom is yours on the 15th?!!?!?!

Might've been taken after a hot shower, kinda cheating but thanks!

gettin there...

Alas, this is the day after my birthday...need I say more? hahaha

Exactly this as well. Even though I've done it without beforehand, in hindsight I was really not eating enough haha. Lucky I didn't drop a shiteload of muscle. You can also blame Tolga for my calorie counting regime, since I'm really making sure I get enough of everything - particularly fat.

Yeah but you don't give a shit about how you look lol. Birds and I are vain.

In the meantime I'm using calorie counter because I have set myself deadlines. Back in September/October I didn't count calories and got amazing results, so I do understand what you mean. I think it's a lot to do with my appetite lately, because back then I hadn't just come off a feeding frenzy bulk period lol, so perhaps after a few weeks of relying on calorie counting to keep my intake where it should be, I won't have such a ludicrous appetite any more and can afford to go back to "feel". Also I noticed a tiny taste difference with the USA WPI, as well as it stinking like shit hahaha. I'm glad they're going back to NZ stuff, even if it's all in my head. Like someone either on here or on Facebook commented - keep it in the region at least.

We're fatter than ever because we're more sedentary than ever. EVERYTHING gets done for us, and all our foods are low fat bolstered with carbs for taste. Looking in the mirror can be hit and miss, if you have a deadline then you're f**ked if you realise you're going the wrong way. Also you can go too far in the wrong direction if you drop calories too far, coz you know since you're not counting what you eat you really have no f**king idea if you're going over or grossly under your requirements. Counting isn't necessary, I do agree - it's just a little bit more effort for a lot more assurance. Makes things a lot easier (don't misconstrue my meaning with that word) since you don't have to run on an effective "trial and error" method, like I'd have to go by given my f**ked appetite.

And short of lunchtime 100m sprints or something, I simply do not have the time to spare for more exercise of any kind* *sex doesn't count, lol

Birds, the only thing I'm going to say is that if I went "by feel" to achieve the physique I want, I'd either starve myself to death by overly restricting my intake, or I would put on more fat than you could even fathom by following your own methods. Recently when I've just been eating whatever I wanted, I wasn't only eating "excess calories" - I was nearly blowing it out by more than 50% some days. Hell, other days even more. That is NOT a good way to go about it, which is why your attitude towards calorie counting blows my mind.

The guy you quoted does come across like he's putting too much into it, but short of it being difficult to avoid carbs (since they're in f**king everything these days, even goddamn spice flavourings like "Pepper Steak" has sugar added to it!!) it's easy enough to go with. Don't really need to count calories at all since some studies have even shown that blowing out calories on a keto diet still leads to fat loss lol.

Easier physically or mentally? Coz a ketogenic diet is definitely not the easy way out mentally. Far from it.

I'll agree with the middle sentence lol. Carbs AND fat make everything taste f**king amazing!
