Well, I went to my local JB today... plenty of copies of Portal 2 for 360, none at all on the shelf for PS3. Looks like people are snapping the Steam-thingy up, ready for trade.

This is the song I'm currently listening to

Heatbeat & Exit vs. Matias Faint vs. Daft Punk vs. Pendulum vs. Energy 52 - Go vs. Paradise Garage vs. Last Breath vs. Aerodynamic vs. The Island vs. Café del Mar (Heatbeat Mega Mashup 500) - A State Of Trance 500 (2011-04-02) (Day 3 - Live @ Club G.E.B.A. in Buenos Aires, Argentina) (Part 1 - Heatbeat)

:lol

Easy enough to find that track? Looks like it could be an interesting mashup, especially given that it has Energy 52 (one of my fave electronic acts) in it.

It makes me really sad that people would buy a game, punch in the code to get the PC version and then take the game back, to get a refund.

I think kritz has learned how to pick up chicks from me. Stare from a distance, find out all you can without ever saying Hi.

I play 99% of my games on the 360 nowadays.
I don't have a PS3.
I want to encourage the console Steam integration with a sale.
I'm screwed.

In an FAQ somewhere, Valve stated that yes, people can do that and no, there's not much they can do about it. Hopefully no stores decide to give out full refunds on the returns. I guess we'll see how the plan turns out.

I just hope they set something up so that they release some extra free content in the future that must be downloaded on the linked PS3 before it can be downloaded for use on the PC. That'd show 'em.

The Minister of War and Finance is usually a wife (but could be girlfriend, boyfriend, etc). In my case it's the wife. The term usually goes hand-in-hand with WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor).

Well might as well tell everyone, I've lost 80 kilos in two years as of this week.

Did it with a Gastric Lapband to get me going which then made complete diet change. Also dropping Pepsi Max cold turkey, life style changes, exercising... yeah... I'm all new.

I am 42% less the man I used to be.

Got about another 20kgs to lose I think.

How tall are you though, that could be fine. I don't plan on going under 80kgs. World doesn't need another scranwy nerd.

Was just about to grab a Snickers bar. Godamnit Vook well done man.

The whole "skip having a proper lunch so I have another 15 minutes during lunch break to draw comics" thing is really kicking me in the ass. :/

I'm about 180cm and weigh 90-95kg, haven't checked in a while.

Almost all the extra weight is sitting around my stomach :lol

That's just genetics. Nothing to do with you not exercising your abs enough or whatever. You lose and gain fat roughly evenly, except for the stomach for men and bum and thighs for women. Anything that says "remove fat from this specific location!" is a scam.

Uh no, 2 years ago I weighed about 10-15kg less and my stomach was nearly flat, now I have a belly. It's all the extra fat from not exercising as much and eating and drinking sugary crap.

My face and neck and what not are not as thin as 2 years ago, but my stomach is where the majority of the extra weight is.

I have been going to the gym for a couple of months now, just need to fix up my diet and i'll start losing weight. Everything that's bad for you just tastes so gooood

Well yeah, you're not disagreeing with me. You've gained weight and most of that has gone to your stomach. You highlighted the fact that it mostly went to your stomach for some reason, and I'm pointing out that it's because you're a dude.

You can, I had about 4-5 bottles a day.

I laughed way too hard at this. Try smiling and then talking to her next time.

Congrats Vook! Suppose you've been enjoying how refreshing water can be. Infinitely better than a glass of pepsi max.
