Shaw's Shack Redemption - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

I'm genuinely surprised there's a film about it considering how rare it is. I think there's been like 200 diagnosed cases in the UK ever. Likewise it surprises me how they write on some soft drinks drinks "Contains a source of phenylalanine" But yes, if it's not treated when you're a baby, it can lead to quite severe brain damage.... *cough*

 

I only take it before and after gym(which I do 3 or 4 days a week). A mate of mine drank it everyday and then carried on even tho he hadn't gone to gym for 3 weeks. He then wondered why he was getting fat....

Tried Watch Dogs today. Not particularly impressed.

 

Booooo. I've been looking forward to getting to that once I'm done with uni.

 

It's basically GTA.

 

Nothing wrong with that.

 

On the protein shake debate. I've never had any, never will. I find it hard to understand the point in it because I'm fairly stacked without it. I guess some people find it more difficult to build muscle then others but I've always found it really quick and easy. I guess I'm just lucky. Plus the only people that I've ever seen have protein shakes are the douchebag gym lad types. The ones that strut around in string vests, flexing their muscles and only ever use the weights in gyms.

 

I get what you're saying, bro, but my point is phenylalanine is not toxic for 99.9% of people, but for that 0.1%, it is.

And tbh, if circumstances were different, I'd probably have nothing against protein shakes.

 

Well sure, if GTA still entertains you then this can too, but I won't be buying it when I can just whip out my copy of GTA instead. The hacking is fun enough, but not quite as fun as I expected it to be. Seems like it would start to feel repetitive very quickly.

 

The vests that look like they will fall apart any min.
I use protein shakes mainly to help recovery now. I do H.I.T so need the extra protein to keep muscle mass and to heal quicker. Nothing wrong with protein when used correctly, plently of gym instructors use it as I did when I was one. But it's down to each person I guess.

 

That's a shame. I'll probably get it anyway because there's only so many times I can replay Fallout, Skyrim and Final Fantasy.

 

Nope it doesn't, it just got over hyped big time so people feel let down. Still a very good game with plently to do and I like the story so far as well.

 

You into Dragon Age? That's out in October and looks really good.

 

Never played it, might end up getting it depending on finances at the time.

 

Damn you guys. I was gonna hit the hay, then reached for GTA, now I'm somehow on Fight Night. Oh well, goodbye sleep...

 

First one was really good, second one was a pile of ****. Bit they have gone back to the drawing board. Three games I am looking forward to are, Destiny, Dragon Age and The Witcher 3. But then E3 is on tuesday so there will probably be a few to add.
