FFTA2 was terrible. Then again, I thought FFTA was terrible. The story is weak and the gameplay felt watered down (probably didn't help that you could beat the ENTIRE GAME with a single unit if you built it right). As far as a portable SRPG goes, you could do worse I suppose ... but Disgaea DS is mo...

Fried shrimp is not good for you, no. Looking at ~450 calories/serving with nearly half from fat. Boiled shrimp is sub-100 though, if I recall, with only like 1g of fat (9 calories). As for cocktail sauce, it's ~100 calories I want to say per serving (2oz?) with like 25g of sugar. Ridiculous. High i...

Calling ToS flashy but stuff like KH not is a bit ... confusing. Okay, sure, Mystic Arts / Hi-ougis are pretty flashy but ... they are ultimate attacks. The basic attacks aren't that flashy what-so-ever. Personally, between the Wii and PS3, the PS3 wins hands down. The few titles the Wii has that ar...

My 360 gets more use than my PS3. The Wii hasn't been used except for Brawl and recently Madworld. I mean, I'll use it more when random titles I care about (Tales of Graces, for instance) but, to be honest, the Wii is a terrible system for someone like me. 360 v PS3 comes down to which exclusives yo...

Newer PS3s are not backwards compatible at all. The MGS4 bundle had software BC but that fails on certain games (doesn't play AT2 at all, Persona 4 has a weird blur effect and the location in the bottom left doesn't appear at all, etc.).

New PS2s are now like $100 though so ... yeah.

Yeah, my example is merely just my example; just an idea of what the 5-meal-a-day plan looks like. I'd suggest "counting" calories at the very beginning ... and only then and never again. Do that to figure out what you can and cannot eat. Portion yourself from that and then don't worry abo...

For what it's worth (HOUSE s5e20) [spoiler]His death is pretty much due to Kal Penn stepping out of acting to be an AD of Public Liasion for Obama. I pegged Kutner dying for the season finale since he's the only doctor that didn't suck this season (outside of 13 eye-candy~ shut up I'm a guy and she'...

Quite simple: pre-cook the food and bring your own lunch. Lunch can merely be a sandwich and fruit. The goal is to get a healthy balance of protein/carb/fats and low-ish calorie counts. My average meal was 400-ish calories, if I recall (started higher in the day, tapered off as the day went by; I sw...

Also not an expert, just my thoughts from having done a routine recently. The best way to view it isn't results but as a way of life. Like Kino said, 5 small meals a day (~3 hour intervals) is the way to go. Balance your diet the best you can (when I worked out, I did ~40% Protein, ~40% Carbs, ~20% ...

The 4 man variation is pretty much what you outlined, though I remember learning of that one without negative scoring (i.e., bidding 5, making 4 nets 1 point). Personally, negative scoring is a must as I'd just bid and accept a small net gain over letting the opponent win a bid and call trump. I'd w...

Moon is, traditionally, 3 players, 22 dominos (blanks removed, sans double). Trump calls are still in effect, bids are 4-7, and scoring is by hands won. It is a variant of 42 (Texas 42 for the full name). The 4 player Moon is a variant of Moon with minimum bid of 3 and no negative scoring, if I reca...
