Thanks for the feedback everyone, right now I think im set on a 3/4 day a week cardio/full body strength training routine. If anyone is still reading this, is it detrimental to do 15 minutes or so of cardio and stretching on off days? Or will this impede muscle growth and repair?

Long story short im trying to lose weight and gain muscle, everyone recommends doing both cardio and strength training, however in order to lose weight you need to use more calories then you consume, but in order to gain muscle you need more calories then what your body requires. For example, based on my weight I need 2500 calories a day to maintain my weight, according to everyone else in order to gain muscle i'd need to add 500 extra calories to that in order to provide my body with the resources needed to add muscle mass. SO, that being said, what is the point of adding strength training to a fitness routine if 1. It burns less calories than cardio alone, and 2. Will not increase your muscle mass. Anyone have any answers here? Or am I wrong? Can you actually gain muscle without giving your body extra calories?

Thanks guys I got Adope premiers trial and Im liking it so far

Im looking for a free movie making software that lets you zoom in on a specific section of a photo, windows movie maker only lets you set the basic area is there something thats free that lets you do this better?

Im not talking about google docs, Im talking about http://www.blackboard.com/ That's not the issue though, im looking for some kind of google chrome extension that lets you write on your browser

SO, Im taking some classes at a community college and they use Blackboard to submit assignments and what not, however Im forgetful and I often forget which assignments need doing, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a chrome app that allows you to "write" on a website, like it would allow me to checkmark assignments i've completed and save those marks I've made. Does something like this exist? Also, I spilled water on my laptop keyboard and now only half the keys work, what do?

From what I've read SSD's are princesses, disable defrag, enable defrag for your data drive, dont save programs that save temporary files to your SDD, Disable hibernation, disable superfetch,don't write on it too much, don't delete too much, move shit with junction ports... And to get any benefit out of it for your steam games you need a pretty large drive if you have even a moderately sized library, and what else, oh, faster boot times...yay...Seriously, 20-30 seconds is no big deal,I'd rather wait for the prices to decrease before I hopped on board. Just my thoughts... Nah You sure? It's a 760 not a 660...

Update: Fancier Case Different Graphics Card (Friend said MSI can suck his dick) 100 extra watts switched ram to corsair Picture was too big to fit the screen for the snipping tool so it cut off the OS and the Optical drive

Ok looks like I'm set, but does anyone recommend a particular cooling system?

The monitor is 1920x1080, would that be alright?

Could I lower my processor to 3.1 GHz without too much of an issue?

I thought I was forgetting something haha

Does it work now? Im planning on running modern to next-gen games on it.

This is what Im getting, it's roughly $1000, I'm looking for some feedback, suggestions, whatever from the more computer savvy of you guys. Thanks!

Minecraft does in fact have an ending goal, a final boss and all that, the game expects you to use online wikis and guides to figure it out I suppose but for 5 more dollars than The Stanley parable you get a game that gets updated monthly with new items and new areas, a multiplayer community that comes up with their own games, an incredibly massive amount of mods to tweak the game and add pretty much whatever you want to it, mods that actually add player created quests. Versus a linear, pretentious bore fest that parodies the gaming industry that it is not even contributing to in an interesting way, all of it's insights are ham fisted and irrelevant for the most part and what new things do I get from a game after it's been out for months? Oh a patch that removes the "racist" part (which to me wasn't even racist.) What a fantastic game.

So you think the developer is justified in selling little more than his pretentious, cliched and ham-fisted insights for $15 and then marketing it as an exploration game when the only exploration is walking down a different path? Plenty of games can relay a message and also include some challenge, conflict and story, this game just had a message and an excuse to be horrible because it's a parody of modern gaming.

I don't think you're serious, otherwise you're the hipsterest of hipsters, but fine, what games would you pay for? I spent the average 3 hours that most people spent, and I couldn't spend anymore, merely because hearing the same dialogue over and over as you pass through the same hallways only to hear some different dialogue only when you reach a new fork was frustrating and tedious. My FEZ example was to illustrate how indie developers make games with zero challenge, no obstacles, bland puzzles and expect people to buy them merely because it comes with some shreds of charm, wit and occasionally story...In Stanley's case, there was a good bit of charm and wit, but a vacant 2 minute story, with a bunch of random nonsense as filler, perhaps 2 or 3 of those endings were interesting or funny. Maybe if it took place in an open world rather than the same tedious pathways I'd like it, but as it is, you have to trudge through the same paths to get to 5 minutes of dialogue which may or may not be interesting.

This game was made as a mod from half life using the source engine, so most of the framework was already set for them, and on top of that once a game is already made it's not like it costs any money to distribute it. But simply put...Fallout 3: 100+ hours, GTA 4: 40+ hours, Saints Row: 40+ hours, and all of these games have incredible amounts of replay value. Now, Stanley parable: $15, 4 hours, and most of that time is spent running through the same corridors, listening to the same dialogue. You're basically paying $15 for a walking simulator

I got it, yeah it's funny, yeah it's an interesting satire of modern games...But $15? really? The game has roughly 10 endings, and few of them are particularly interesting...There's no story to speak of besides the main ending which is short, rushed and doesn't explain anything...While obviously that could have been on purpose to further satirize modern gaming story telling...Still....$15, give me something more than that... The entire game is yet another example of pretentious, boring indie games...Zero game play, just self aware, overpriced, hipster pandering...Just like FEZ you cannot fail, you just get another ending...No challenge, no game play...And look, you can say "They did that on purpose" all you like, but when it gets to the point that I feel ripped off, they can be as meta and witty as possible and I'm not going to like it. Long story short, It's funny, not fun. If you want to pay $15 for 3 hours of game play, 2 of which involve going through the same path listening to the same dialogue just to go through a different path for a 4 minute ending, then go ahead...I was not impressed.

I'd assume your avatar is some kind of joke or reference I don't get...I'd most likely shrug or something.
