Brother had a SNES with Super Mario World and Pilotwings that I first started playing on. First game of my own was a Genesis with Sonic 2.

Used to all the time, not so much now. Every once in a while I'll see what www.freelanceastronauts.com is doing, though.

I could cover some minutia everyone else will, but the most important thing to make WoW fun is to find a good group of people to hang with.

I decided I wanted to change my major and hit the wall super hard...in October. I think it's going to screw me.

No love for The Dillinger Escape Plan?
Thought it was technically capable but kinda boring.
 
I posted a list of five in the other thread, which was topped by Nails - Unsilent Death. That's still my fav from this year, but I also loved Agalloch - Marrow of the Spirit.

but what about when your lifestyle and tendencies are all about sitting/lying down watching shit or playing video games?  Back in April i tried dieting, i ate small healthy meals and bought an exercise bike and exercised for half an hour a day.. went on for 5 weeks and i lost 6 kilos, but i just couldnt take it because i wasnt being myself !  whats the point of a healthy goodlooking lifestyle if its not your bag ? im not interested in being so active and shit, my main hobbies consist of me sitting down and enjoying the different mediums of media..  Believe me i keep telling myself i wanna start a diet, and i get on the bike once in a while. i really dont wanna fall under the fatso stereotype and try to avoid it but doing so means changing myself and what i do and enjoy and that cant be done..   i wanna lie in bed and watch Seinfeld, u hear me ? "
 You have to look at taking care of your body with proper nutrition and exercise the same way you look at going to work and practicing personal hygiene: it's something you just have to do to keep yourself in the best position to enjoy the things you like.   You don't have to be a walking Bowflex commercial to lose fat and get more energy. It only takes 30 minutes of solid cardio a day and good decisions at meal times to stay fit. You don't have to stop sitting in front of the TV or PC.  "
Pretty much this. Also, it has side benefits like making you look good to other people, which does wonders for the whole confidence thing.
 
Eventually you need to decide whether you're cool with yourself (and all the ramifications of that), or whether you want to change. That's your MO, personally, I decided I wanted to change. It's worth it.

I've got a couple of inches on you so I'd probably be around 175 pounds, but yeah.

" @sgjackson: I have told many people this before. A 6 pack is pretty easy to get, it's just that most people 'do it wrong'.  All you need to get a 6 pack is cardio, the abs are already there but just covered by fat.  I honestly did no crunches or situps and just did cardio and now I have a 6er. "For
Yeah I know this, for the most part, it's just a matter of giving enough of a damn to get in that ideal range and staying there.

I was like 6'2" and 205-210, depending on how much I was working out, in high school. Kinda chubby, never was in great shape, never awful either. However, once I graduated, I ballooned up to 235, a combination of hating school and a more sedentary lifestyle (less exercise and MORE OPPORTUNITY TO GRAZE, people never mention that but you get fatter by not having enough shit to do). Eventually, I looked at a pic of my self, decided I looked disgusting, and started eating right and working out hardcore. Lost 50 pounds one summer, got down to 185, got a bunch of lady friends to go clothes shopping with me, and now I look a lot better. It's all about deciding you want to change, and going out and grabbing the bull by the horns. You control your life, man.
 
I've gained a little back and am thinking about starting my regimen up again to try to get a six-pack. It'll be hard but so fucking worth it if I get there (or as close as I can genetically come to one).
