    Currently playing Skyrim under cover of darkness while the children are asleep. I'm always looking for new gamer friends, so feel free to add.

    Don't like my jiggly parts shaking in front of strangers at the gym, so I shake them at home with Zumba for the kinect and Wii Fit.

    Off to try and get my little girl to yell "fus ro dah."

    Ive heard and read amazing things about this game! Getting it ASAP

    looking forward to the Game of Thrones RPG, even though I'm hearing that it sucks

    I am a huge AGOT fan and agree the RPG may not be the best but there is a great board game and card game though! (If you like the theme)

    heard its not worth the money from several friends and even on the radio

    Wow, there's a lot of xbox gamers here, not many PS3 folk like myself it would seem. Just finished Skyrim which was awesome and am looking for my next game. Any suggestions? Haven't played much this year as Skyrim had taken over my life.

    Please feel free to add me.

    <<~~PS3-girlie right here ;-)

    I'm a gamer as well=) I play LOL and runescape mainly. Feel free to add me.

    I'm am currently looking at yoga balls, resistance bands, and hulahooping. :P

    Haha! You play on one game I used to work on, and the other one I am currently working on it :)

    Good luck with your exercises!

    You used to work for jagex? lol. And thank you, I'm hoping switching to low resistance exercises will help me prevent fractures.
    Do you play them or just work on them? And what do you plan on doing to lose weight?

    No, I used to work for Goa, before Riot took over (or ,ore exactly, took back) League of Legends. I was mainly focusing on Warhammer Online at the time. I am now at Jagex.

    I played Everquest 1 for over 9 years, with short stops to try other MMOs ;). I am not really playing MMOs anymore though, or computer games in general, mostly because I realised that once I sit in front of the computer and launch a game, my day/evening is over and I won't do anything else.

    My current plan to lose weight is mostly: "eat less and exercise more". I always cook my food from basic ingredients (make my own bread and sometimes cheese...) so I don't have many "burger king" cravings :)
    I have removed all cheese from my daily intake, and watch closely the calories, but I am kind of always hungry ;). Trying to compensate with tea / water.

    Exercise wise, I do roughly 5 hours of hiking every week-end and 3 times a week about 60 minutes on the exercise bike. I will try and fit in some strength exercises (lifting weigh) in-between the cardio ones, to see how it works.

    Game wise, for all the Skyrim lovers, you should try "Mount & Blade: Warband". RPG, open world, and you set your own goals, you want to be king of the realm, you do it, or you become trader, mercenary, merchant, spy,... anything :) It's a bit old but very good. (PC game)

    LOL, as I log in right now >.< I've been playing off an on since Vanilla....but this xpac has to be the worst! Did you play the beta for MoP? I'm still in the air as to whether or not I'm going to bother....but we all know I will....I mean Pandas so cute! The monk was a bad *kitten* class I enjoyed messing on beta with it....but overall the game just seems to be getting worse. I HATE the new talent tree they are implementing! I was like WTF....Bring back the old trees...sometimes playing a hybrid is just way more fun! LOL!

    Classic SArcade games..Defender, Robotron, Dig-Dug, asteroids. No modern game comes even close to 'defender'; for sheer skill and dexterity...and defender made it's entry in 1978.

    Used to play a lot of Final Fantasy and other ps2 games. Still enjoy games, but mainly do Second Life now, which is not so much a game as a virtual reality, with games and roleplay within.

    Long-time PC gamer, started with BBS doors, moved onto Ultima Online, a bunch of MMOs in between, and now WoW. Also loved the hell out of Skyrim, Silent Hill 1 & 2, the Mass Effect series (until.. you know...), pretty much every Valve game ever, and occasionally some Killing Floor. Looking forward to trying out GW2. I play tabletop RPGs as well! Add me if you like.

    If you know what server, which side he's on, and what his character name is, we could send out search parties. ;)

    I'm a fellow gamer as well, Final Fantasy, WoW, Diablo, Wii, Playstation, you name it...... WoW has been the biggest issue with my current weight... hours of raiding + pizza = chubby gamer :) Anyone can feel free to add me :wink:

    I feel the same way... It was almost impossible to fight off my fiance last night trying to talk me into going into a raid with the guild when I was trying to do my exercises.... resistance is futile...

    I quit WoW awhile back, but I'm thinking about playing again. I would love to learn how to incorporate it into my new lifestyle. I also play games on XBOX. I stick to games like BioShock and Fallout. I've recently started Skyrim. Can't wait to see how that goes. Please feel free to add me. As far as myfitnesspal and weight loss go: Still a level 1 Newbie. :)

    I played WoW for 7 years, quit about 3 months ago to get my weight back in check... I plan on playing again soon, but only if I get all of my exercises in and eat well that day... I'm going to use gaming as a reward system for myself... see if that works... I just can't get wrapped up in the "raiding until 2am" thing anymore :) Working full time + raiding several hours + exercising like a mad woman does not add up :) Looks like I might just go into getting the silly achievements again ;P

    I tried that and DnD online. Had a decent time, but couldn't commit.

    On an aside, who is heading to PAX this year in Seattle. It's the one social event I wouldn't miss for the world. And this year I'm thin enough to not be uncomfortable standing in line.

    I still play NWN online, for 8 years now. I know one of other Avlis addict here, it'd be interesting if more of us were poking around
