Good job guys! I on the other hand am extremely lazy.
I'm down fifty pounds from 315, so don't feel bad. Squats and oats. Squats and oats. You'll get there soon enough.

I haven't tried squats. Might add to the regimen.

I didn't run for pretty much all of july. I finally ran a bit yesterday and walk/jogged today. I might try doind somethign like that every day to make up for lost time (really just getting ready for PAX in two weeks)

All of my hate!!!! ;P
D: That's super skinny! Are you able to work out to build muscle?
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
I dunno I've never really tried. My sister says there isn't any muscle in my body, like I'm literally just tissue and bone. Not true obviously, but I can see why she would think that.
I suppose I should try building muscle more than running but I have no idea where to start with that.

I would ask a professional trainer. I'd imagine they'd start with non-weight exercises like sit-ups, push-ups etc.

You need to gain more weight so you can start working out and build muscle. If you wanted to, anyways.
Been running every other day, but I forgot about sticking to that schedule so I haven't progressed any. But yea. I'm trying to get my friends to do fitness stuff too.
I've been gym-ing for a few years now, and have been swimming over the summer 
But I actually got a little lax on it at the same time as starting Katawa Shoujo, so Emi's route did make me feel a bit guilty ha. They do really capture that struggle-reward quality of exercise, that was really well handled how Hisao began to enjoy due to the challenge and sense of satisfaction. Heck, basically every theme or topic or activity touched upon in this game was well handled!
On a side note...is anyone else expecting this to be their game of the year 2012? I mean I know it's hardly a game, but ehh. Only Rhythm Paradise Wii may compete.

It's on my list. Xenoblade and Atelier Meruru are my tops at the moment.

To echo RurouniZel it's certainly on the list, as for how high i'm not sure but I can easily see it holding onto a position by the years end.
I'll go in to the thread and say "this next game was a small download title but it stood tall, up there with the biggest releases of the year, though limited in actual gameplay it hits some emotional highs very few games reach with an incredible soundtrack as well"
And everyone will think i'm talking about Journey and then BAM! SWERVED! KATAWA SHOUJO! and they will not understand.

I've bought like what, 2 new games this year so far? And one of those was a port. So yeah...
It really depends on how good Guild Wars 2 is. GW2 and KS are the only games this year that have a hope of being my personal GOTY. I think GW2 may win out too. It's been sucking me in every time they put the servers up.
I may only feel that way right now because it's the new hotness though. A couple months down the line I may feel like KS was better. It certainly did effect me quite a bit. Probably not enough considering how lazy I've been these past 2 months. Maybe I need to play through Emi's route again.

GW2 wins because of Norn boobs.
But KS has nude boobs! It just isn't as clear cut as you make it. Although KS doesn't have gropey armor. I'm not sure if that's a plus or a minus.
My Norn is a classy lady. Who can breathe fire.

Your american weights suck. I range between 70-75 kg depending on water weight and whether or not I've eaten breakfast.
I missed my run this morning because I was feeling terrible, so assuming the wind doesn't go mad by this afternoon I'm going to have to take a storm run... I've been on interval training for a while, finished the Couch to 5k a while back but I think I've lost my endurance factor.

GW2 is an MMO, so it automatically sucks.
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
Someone explain to me why GW2 gets so much hype on GAF.
Because it's fun and it isn't a WoW reskin? It's also a one time purchase for a real MMO. It's just different enough to suck me back into the MMO fold and be happy to be there. It's also a lot more actiony than most AAA MMOs have been in the past.
All I know is it makes me feel like I did when I first played Lineage II which was my first MMO. That is an accomplishment in and of itself.

I'm playing Katawa Shoujo with an xbox 360 controller. It changes the gameplay completely! *Comfy couch Katawa Shoujo*

Ah yeah!
Well it is called "Crippled Girls" so maybe she's on to something.

Well at least I haven't evolved into a Brony yet.
Hey, both were born in 4chan, KS fans (?) and Bronies are like siblings!

"Your sweater is bad and you should feel bad." I find myself appreciating him more as time goes on.
I did that, too. More recently since so few buttons are necessary I started using a PS3 Navigation Controller-only setup for visual novels... though given the content of some of these games having a one-handed playing solution might earn some strange looks.Wolf Dawgz said:

I can't get any girls to try KS
They say it's pervy and I only like it because I'm a lesbian
But Hisao's a dude.
Chiharu said it's an eroge and I only like it because I like naked girls
I was expecting some fireworks from that comment... I have failed.

I got my friend to try it! She is practicing some of the songs on piano now, I also got her to watch 5cm/s!

So, uh, I just stumbled across this while scrolling for the WUST-thread and have never 'played' a VN before. I really don't know what to expect but I'll try anything for free.

I get where she's coming from. There isn't really much there to appeal to straight women, unless they get off on dudes in sweater vests.
I'm still surprised I got her to watch K-ON! lol
Yeah but I told her you can turn off the sexual scenes and they're a very small part of the game.
Chet Rippo

She's stubborn, I wouldn't push it to much.

Actually, I'm kind of curious now. The VN/eroge field is pretty heavy on male leads with many females. The opposite must exist, but are any notable?
As a non lesbian guy. I approve of more Yuri.
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
The above would appeal to my interests as well.

Trying to narrow things down at the visual novel database, but I don't see how it's possible to look for VNs which fulfill multiple traits/tags. You can get individual lists like female protagonists, romance, or characters that participate in lesbian sex, though.
Click on "visual novels" on the left, and then click on the little "filters" underneath. From in there you can filter by any number of things, including multiple tags.
For the actual tag entry, start typing the name of the tag and then pick it from the list and it'll be added to the filter.
Holy shit, my life is changed forever. Can't believe I didn't notice such a simple thing.
Thank you~
