Man, this game is crazy-addictive. I realized that I never wrote up my article for last week, because I’ve been otherwise occupied by the allure of “just one more quest.” Week five was great! Week six, not so much. Week seven is almost over, and includes some big changes for this workout deal.
I reached my [...]

World of Workout: Week Four and The Buffening
Well, I’ve been at this for a month. I’ve killed some boars, shed about ten pounds, made some friends and then killed some more boars. We’ve got a fairly sizable guild playing and working out just about every night now. The Nerd Ninja army is growing.
Week four brought a few new changes to the gaming [...]
World of Workout: Week Three and Reactions
Three weeks, and about 8 pounds down! This past week was a rough one, and not just because I was on vacation and prone to extreme laziness. There were some distractions that kept me from working out as much as previous weeks, but I did manage to get at least an hour in every day, [...]

I did this for five days as a [...]
World of Workout?
Like 37% of Americans, I’m a slight bit overweight. Over the ten or so years that I’ve done IT work, I seem to have contracted “Cubicle Gut.” I’ve done the whole “New Year’s Resolution” thing, I’ve tried DDR, Wii Sports, walking while listening to gaming podcasts, and to tell the truth, I always seem to [...]
