    1-5 Reps: Strength & Power
    8-12: Mass
    15+ Endurance

    Sorry to burst your bubble but 1-5 reps does nothing for you. If you ask a coach of any good athletic program, they will tell you that. I play offensive guard and defensive end for my high school, which was in the Iron Hill Conference championship last year and I can tell you, 1-5 reps does not equal strength.

    That's for you Archie, in case you need to know how much you need to take in.

    So you would play Diablo if they did it entirely in pastels, replaced all the heroes with cute woodland creatures so long as it had the name Diablo and good gameplay? You're a consumer whore.

    You picked the wrong guy to insult. Graphics don't make the game. If that were the case, Turok would be a great game. But it's not. It sucks ass. Regardless, Diablo isn't made entirely in pastels and there aren't cute woodland creatures for heroes, so your point is moot.

    Let's see, if I'm a consumer whore, that means I consume things for money. Last I checked I'm not getting paid to play good games, so I don't think I make much of a whore. You, on the other hand, are a tool because you are being fed this bullshit about "bad graphics" and you go around parroting what they're telling you.

    Also, your knowledge of statistics is out of date. Go back to high school.

    50k people signed a petition, let's say five million people did actually play D2. How many of that five million do you suppose have not heard of the petition?

    http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2000_July_17/ai_63499175

    So...you're saying that more people aren't signing because they haven't heard about it? You seem to be doing a good job of spreading the word. I find it more likely that those 4,950,000 people just don't agree with you.

    One of many articles that corroborates the fact that Diablo markets to a fanbase of millions.

    I like the idea of being able to slip and fall off platforms. It could happen with knock-back attacks. But you'll just hang on to the edge. However, if you fall, where would your body show up? Not too fond of the other stuff. I think there should be clan support. And clan battles would be fun. Just day dreaming at this point. It won't happen and I ain't gonna complain about it.

    It's just a personal aesthetic preference, but I think the borders and buttons could use a little visual overhaul. Perhaps some embossed images here and there, to give the site some layers.

    Also, I'm a big fan of AJAX. I think it just looks great. Anyways, I am a contributing member to Aionsource.com, and when you log in, you have a bubble in the upper right corner that notifies you of new messages and other things. When you hit the notifications button, a menu pops out, similar to what happens when you hit the search button on this site.

    How the witch doctor has characteristics of an assassin or can be considered a jack of all trades is beyond me. I think you should get some less potent drugs before you go typin' up your thoughts.
    I suggest you get a more heterosexual name before you go trashing other people's statements. I don't see a counter to my argument. All you said is that you don't agree. But you didn't say why.

    Also, the concept in the D3 art trailer doesn't have to be a druid. Most likely it will turn out to be an NPC.
    That's always a possibility. It's just what I like to think. Feel free to take a look for yourself. It's the slideshow video.

    Statistically speaking, less than 50,000 people cared enough about the art direction to sign a petition. Judging from the fact that the Diablo series has sold millions of copies, I'd be willing to bet that 50,000 wouldn't put much of a dent in the sales of D3, should it sell as many. I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that it will sell even more than its predecessors. Sucks for you guys if you're willing to let such a meager thing have priority over gameplay. For shame.

    posted a message on Male or Female character?
    I never understood why people play characters of the opposite sex. It's like having a gender crisis in a game. It's alright if you have one. But there are those guys who only play female characters and they really bother me.

    The witch doctor is sort of a cross between the necromancer and the assassin. He has the ability to raise minions and he has a strong focus on poison-based damage. Alternatively, he also has some basic spells similar to the sorceress. I think the witch doctor won't be the only new class at this rate. Otherwise, they must be having a hell of a time balancing the old classes with this jack-of-all-trades on the playing field.

    I'm expecting the druid back though. On Gametrailers, you can see a concept of a druid following the introduction to the classes section. It's too good a class to ignore, in my opinion.

    I'm 6'1" 200lbs. I have 15% body fat.

    If you want to lose fat, eat fat and cut the carbs. For maximum muscle gain and fat burning, I follow a weekly schedule. It's fairly simple, as long as you keep track of what you eat.

    5.5 days: high protein, high fat, low carb
    1.5 days: high protein, high fat, high carb

    I do a lot of power lifting, since I play football, but I follow a 2 muscle group a day workout schedule.

    Monday: Chest/Biceps
    Tuesday: Triceps/Legs
    Wednesday: Shoulders/Back
    Thursday: Rest
    Friday: Monday schedule
    Saturday: Tuesday schedule
    Sunday: Wednesday schedule

    Keep reps within the 8-12 rep range with 4 sets of every weightlifting exercise. Any more or any fewer reps will either not give enough results or deteriorate the muscles. Consistency is key. Keep track of what exercises you do. And repeat them the next time you do the same muscle groups. If you're inconsistent, you'll get inconsistent results. You can build upon your workouts, but make sure you follow up on what you started doing. Core muscles (abs) can be done any day really, since you basically use them for everything. They can be fairly resilient.

    I think you need a different logo. If you're trying to define a brand, you've gotta have that certain appeal aesthetically. Try Flaming Stars & Straps, or Empyre, Hurley, Ed Hardy, and others. That one you have isn't too eye catching, at least for me. I don't think I would consider buying it.

    Hey what's up mutton? Where've you been lately?


    Chillin chillin. I just got finished with AP testing, so I've got less homework nowadays. I've been following an MMORPG in development as of late. Aion: Tower of Eternity. Looks friggin' sweet.

    We have never met either but I have heard nothing but good things about you. Loved reading your threads.


    I sense sarcasm. Whether its the former or the latter, I have no idea. Is that a joke?

    Yeah, I didn't quite understand how a bunch of powerful items couldn't outweigh one item.

    But does anyone want to see a branching plot rather than a linear plot? I definitely can agree with more acts and such, but what about quests that lead to other quests that broaden your comprehension of the goings-on of the game.
