But lots of mac users know they don't get those things since no-one had bothered to make them and not because it would be impossible. But then for most people the reason they won't get them don't matter that much.
I thought having a mac was like staying away from the inappropriateness of having sex! No games, no fun!
At least they got an idea "let's remake this", probably because it delivered something special, instead of not getting an idea and deliver more of the same old / what everyone else release.
I do wonder, lots of titles fail, obviously, since there is so much crap released, some dominates and then there are some titles in between.

Sure the return in $ may not be as good, but in % vs the investment and also when it comes to the risk taking I would assume the simper titles will be better.
But then a simple title need to offer something else than pretty graphics, such as a good experience, so eventually they delivers more on that, or it's total crap which should never had been released in the first place and which makes me feel sad for the people who actually buy it.

Btw, on my way home from the gym I saw some kind of ass, wasn't looking too much, just out from the side of my eye while bicycling past it not to draw attention.
Then it shouted, or well, not the ass, but the owner of it, a around 20 girl.
Turned out she was going to some place which wasn't near to her current location, so she figured the cab must had fooled her..
She was really drunk trying to make a phone call and walking around in circles, so I figured she had probably walked for quite some time while drunk but in the incorrect direction. Anyway, turned out her battery was low so she asked me for a ride, which the bicycle wasn't equipped for, anyway she tried the handlebar but it didn't worked very good.
So I let her borrow my phone to call the cab, but I think she tried to call somewhat at the location she was trying to reach at first. Anyway, after a couple of tries and some help dialing the numbers and making the call she came to the cab company and then she where trying to find out her current location so they could pick her up.
Anyway, short after that I left, but I was thinking that maybe, just maybe, I should had asked her if she could had blown me in return of the favor, but I didn't, mannered or stupid as I am.
Riding the bike on my way home all I could think of was "should I turn around and ask?", but well, didn't, and now I keep on thinking about it.
It's not like I would rape her, force her or expect it, and I wouldn't had asked for it before making the call as a "fee", but well, she was really really drunk (dropped my phone on the ground 2-3 times) and well, it wouldn't had hurt her, or me, maybe she would even had felt some comfort having something to suck on and also feel better of getting something in her stomach.
Was I just stupid, would it had worked or shouldn't I think about it since it would had been evil against her?
Stupid to not take your chances I assume.. I guess it would had been the normal male thing to do..
Who knows, eventually she wouldn't had been capable to remember it anyway, she couldn't press the correct numbers or say the correct ones and while trying to find the building number we was at I walked away one way and it turned out she walked along another road, when I got back to her she asked me if she had walked alone, and then something like "but...", as if I was some new person she had meet and she wondered where the other guy had gone.. She was probably on her way to get fucked anyway;/
What was wrong with it? Of course doing more cardio (wasting more energy) will make you lose more weight if you eat the same, I've never said something else, I said that the only thing which matters is if you are on an energy surplus or not, which the cardio will affect...
But since lots of people do cardio because they think it helps them burn fat and then just keep on eating they won't have any results in case they eat enough to compensate for the cardio.. Just getting the same lack of energy would give similar results without all the work.
BS, why is the site called "second opinions" to begin with? Sounds like some alternative bullshit.
Yet, over the last century a spate of dietary studies has shown that, calorie for calorie, low-carbohydrate diets are much better at reducing weight than the traditional low-fat diets.
There are multiple studies on various diets and there may be contradictions to that, anyway yes a diet with more energy from fat during weight loss is supposed to give better body composition, that still don't change the fact that a diet with an energy surplus, even with lots of fat, will most likely gradually still make you fatter.
And, if you eat the right foods, you can forget all about counting calories.
Which is overkill for most people anyway, if you don't lose weight, eat less, if you don't gain weight (and want to) eat more..
"CONCLUSIONS: We emphasize the lack of established effectiveness and potential toxicity of these products."
But why trust something published in Journal of Toxicology and Clinical Toxicology when anonymous coward on Slashdot says that it works and won't poison your body?
Consuming silver, at least not excessively, is beneficial. It's a fact that colloidal silver can be consumed in quantities sufficient to kill off bacteria without poisoning your body.
By raising energy requirements yes, but contrary to what most people would believe it won't turn you into a fat burning machine, if you do 600 kcal of cardio per day and eat 600 kcal more it will probably not make much of a difference on your body composition. It may raise your insuline sensitivity / amount of GLUT4 receptors somewhat.
Numbers of feedings is supposed to not make much of a difference, I guess eating more after workout may help somewhat though due to less need for insuline which in itself will inhibit fat burning.
My body stores energy from everything
Everyones bodies store energy from everything, if it don't need it atm, anything else would be stupid.
His digestive system is highly inefficient
I doubt it, though you may have individual differences (which don't change anything, if he ate even more he would gain weight) and also he may claim to eat more / you believe he eat more than he says, or move around more than you do.
Now another thing that research has shown is that if you spread out your calories across 5 meals in a day you will burn more calories and store less than when eating the same number of calories in 3 or less meals in a day. This technique is used by many to help them lose weight to great effect.
Old claim but AFAIK not true (to an extent which matters at least.)
Search for things like "periodic fasting" for contradictions and ideas in the opposite direction.
My knowledge (which I have no problem with updating / replacing /.. if incorrect) comes mostly from spending massive amounts of forum posts of which most have been written by this guy: "Andreas Abelsson first entered the fields of nutrition and weight training back in 1988, and has studied nutrition at Stockholm University and Karolinska Institutet, and has been involved with glycaemic index and insulin research at the University of Sydney. Andreas has worked as a writer, researcher, translator, personal coach, and dietist, and has managed a small restaurant for a fitness-minded clientele, which failed due to the unfortunate and unhealthy eating habits of the general public. Andreas is currently pursuing other fields of interests professionally, but continues to stay up-to-day with the latest research and with what is happening in the areas of health, nutrition, and training, perhaps more so than ever before." / ironmag.com
Of course he may be incorrect or interpret things wrong, but he have access to lots of studies (even some unpublished), if you want to write old things people have reasoned themselves to such as "omg my body pick up all nutrients!" or "splitting your meals over the days help!" get a valid reference for those claims.
I accept being wrong, IF I AM, but claiming that basic things like "eating more makes you fat, eating less gets rid o the fat" is wrong is just stupid. For most people that basic fact will help more than doing more cardio (since they may just start to eat more to) and especially following weird diets or trying to eat healthy.
Eating healthy and doing cardio is good for you, but it's no guarantee for not staying obese.
Personally I have no problem whatsoever in getting lean or gaining weight.
Or well, regarding my thermodynamics stuff, what I mean is that you can't store more energy worth in muscle and fat than you consume in excess energy.
Obviously you can lose muscle and gain fat, and viceversa as long as the energy requirements measure up.
But still, in the grand grand parents post where he talked about obese people the thing is that they WOULD start to lose fat once they lower their energy intake enough, anything else would be impossible. Sure they may also lose muscle weight.
And people overeating enough WILL get fatter, even if it's nutrient correct food.
That is plain wrong. It is how much energy of the amount you consume is processed that decides whether you're obese.
And I can prove it: When under stress from work, I tend to eat very little. I usually gain weight during that period of time.
No, you can't "prove" it, or well, at least not this way.
Obviously consumption * uptake will affect things but your body kinda picks everything up so unless you are stomach sick or something such that will probably not affect things much at all.
Regarding stress it may be hormone changes such as excessive cortisol instead of nutrient uptake which affect things (or you eat things you don't think of / know contain as much energy.)
Losing weight during christmas if you really eat much more (energy, not volume) and move around less don't make sense at all.
---
I never said that amount or type mattered, rather the opposite, I said energy amount.
And then you mention cortisol yourself... Chances are your higher cortisol levels break down your muscle which lowers your basal metabolism and contribute to some excess energy which have that way lowered your requirements from food which still leads to overeating and thereby storing more fat.
People into bodybuilding know these things and you don't want excessive amounts of cortisol in your body.
Also no matter what your personal opinion is you can't change the laws of thermodynamics, you CAN'T increase in (energy-) weight without consuming more energy than you use, it's impossible, and so is the opposite, if you get fatter you eat to much, nothing else. Why you still go into a calori surplus doesn't matter.
---
I say humans are omnivores, but what you want to call it doesn't matter much, but we can eat most things and obviously having more choices leads to better chances of picking the best things than less choices. If vegan food is good an omnivore can still eat it, if eggs, chicken and milk also is good or even better food they can eat that to, thereby they have all the chances in the world to get an as good or better diet than the person with the more limited diet.

Nah, they must have got that wrong, you let them drink beer, and then they may have sex with you.
Hi oldie, don't worry too much, you'll soon be dead and gone anyway, no problem with the youths longer.
Since crappy neighborhood probably mean you are there for a reason, such as unemployed / low income and such, yes.
Personally I live in Sweden and the lack of light and low d-vitamine levels probably don't help much either.
That and virgin at 30.
But I already do weight lifting and for increasing insuline sensitivity some kind of high intensity interval training would do the work better.

Muscle probably have much more water if anything so ..
And I don't see water as a problem since it's just that and can go away just as easily.
(If anything I see it as something good since it increases performance and more water in muscle mean bigger appearance.)
