Indeed. I don't really buy games to play multiplayer which is why I'm always a bit "meh" when obvious single-player titles have that tacked on multiplayer (Tomb Raider, Batman: AO etc.). Also, look at Bioshock. No multiplayer, great single-player.

It still looks awesome but I wish they would stop showing all the bad guys. Also, seems like they take some (a lot of) inspiration from the Knightfall-storyline. Not bad but hopefully we won't be playing as Azrael.

Lack of single-player? Damn. I thought it looked nice, which I rarely think about this kind of game.

I think we can agree that mixing it up is best in all regards. Even long distance runners (10+ km) get better results from HIIT (and heavy weight lifting!) but obviously you need to train for it to be able to run for a prolonged period of time without damaging the body.

I just saw in the Sony conference that they did some remote play with Vita for ACIV. I didn't know that would work so well. It's quite a blow to Wii U then.

I'm not interested in calories in any way; I don't exercise to lose weight as I'm already low in that regard - 180 cm, 66-67 kg, and a BFP at about 9.2. I do HIIT because it's the best way to get (and stay) in shape. It's better for your heart than steady-state cardio, recent research suggests. And it's way more fun! It's excruciatingly hard mentally but afterwards you just feel great. Also, don't mix up speed and power. Speed is measured in km/h or RPM while power is measured in watt. Try for yourself, do one sitting (say, 10 minutes) at a semi-low speed. Then do the same distance at high speed. Obviously, you get to the same point faster at higher speeds (RPM!) but you should burn about the same amount of calories if you haven't touched the power.

It doesn't depend on the speed at all (try that yourself) but of course there can be a difference in the power. If you're cycling through mud then 1 km is harder than downhill plain road. But on average, it should fit.

I think someone mentioned to me that you burn about 70 kcal per km at running/walking and half that at cycling. It applies to most people with a difference of 5 either way depending on your weight. -- Oh, forgot to mention. I went to a physical therapist today to have him look at my knee. He says nothing bad is wrong, it just took a severe beating. I should give it another week's rest before going back to hard exercise but I can squat till it hurts (which is at about 80 degrees so no ass to the grass at the moment but better than nothing).

Impressive. Even though I'm in great shape, I wouldn't be able to keep that speed for 10 minutes. Or well, I haven't tried but 120 RPM is killing me after 20 seconds in HIIT (20 sec @ 120 RPM, 40 sec @ 90-100 RPM, 60 sec @ 70-80 RPM, five-seven times that) so I don't believe that I would be able to do it. Usually, when I do 20 minutes biking, I muster an average of about 90 RPM. I don't like cycling with more than 110 RPM, though, so I stay at 90 and then up the power instead. (I hate that it's so different from bike to bike how many watt you output. On some bikes, I can only do about 250 watt for 20 minutes, whilst on others I can do about 320! It should be standardized.) Then I don't believe the distance counter.

Downloaded the DLC today as I have vacation now. Shall play it tomorrow.

Cycle 1 km per minute? That's like the professionals - are you sure that's accurate??

It'll have to be seriously uphill for one to gain anything from 10 km biking in an hour. I would say that it's a waste of time. Walking for an hour is much better exercise than that.

Fixed. :P But yeah, it's all about speed and power. I usually do 10 km biking in 20 minutes when riding for exercise (both indoor and outdoor). Recently, I've been more inclined to do intervals, though, so I don't quite reach that distance.

I look forward to seeing Kick Ass 2 but I didn't really like the second part of the comic either. It was just too violent. Hopefully, they've made it a bit better with the movie. Is Hit-Girl counted as the third installment? I've yet to read that as I haven't found it at a good price. I saw Monsters University tonight. Am I the only one disliking that? I just found it dull and quite predictable with no really good jokes. It was immensely beautiful but apart from that it didn't have much going for it.

Apparently, you can't share Twitter-messages on this board but #ArkhamOrigins has hinted at something EPIC. So I've just screendumped them for you: A guess is Harvey Dent based on the ENT visible in the second image.

You've eaten a lot of yellow lately.

I had a bit too much beer yesterday (as I handed in my master thesis - time for celebration!) so I didn't feel like exercising today. Thus I'll have to double it over the weekend but with two weeks of vacation, I have plenty of time for exercising (although I want to read Watchmen and A Game of Thrones, and I want to play all the games I have left in my drawer).

Actually, paleo recommends eating more fruit and nuts. Paleo isn't afraid of carbs as long as they come from the right sources - fruit is one of the sources.

I preordered Xbox One last night after this reveal so that I will get to get a free game with it. If the game turns out to be crap, I'll just cancel and wait a bit longer. I wouldn't have bought the console this year anyways.

At least they're giving away a free game for those who have preordered Day One Edition. -_-

Well, lucky us in those places!

Perhaps you're eating more because you're using more energy? Also, if it's mostly good stuff you're eating then you shouldn't need to worry. But good going on the runs! --- My knee's getting much better but still can't bend it so much. I've got an appointment with a physical therapist next Tuesday, just to make sure nothing is wrong. I miss leg days so much!

Dismissed? Alright that's good. I'm not getting it on launch day (only if it turns out that it's backwards compatible) as I have a shitload of 360-games, I need to play before.
