X-files is back. Get hyped!

It's late, I know. But still. I get to watch X-files again!

They managed to shake this old series to life again. It was back in 1993 it was aired for the first time. And then it went on to be the science fiction series for a long time. 

Now it is back. And they managed to get the same actors playing Mulder and Scully. I am watching the first new episode right now while writing this text. It has been out for a week or something so I am late, but that does not matter.

A few days ago I watched the first episode from the first season. When those series were aired in the 90's. There was no Viaplay, no Netflix or even DVD's. So if you missed when it was aired, it was not easy to watch it afterwards unless someone recorded it using a VCR.

In other words, there are sooo many episodes that I have never seen. So watching the series from the beginning on Viaplay will be wonderful. If you are looking for something to watch, I would recommend watching X-files from the beginning.

Special ep The Fit Gamer Podcast

Episode 22.5 - Special Episode of The Fit Gamer Podcast

This is a special episode that is all about the new guidelines regarding transgenders in the Olympic games.

Reassignment surgery no longer required! Will this mean that all the world records in the female olympics will be erased by female-to-male athletes?

It is a subject worth thinking about. Considering the fact that everyone has the same right to do whatever they like, like changing their gender. But if they would have advantages, would it be fair to the other female athletes?

Louis van Gaal gets hints from the stands

Brilliant signs from the fans vs Derby

Fans who came up with a clever sign.

And it is actually spot on. There are constantly talks about van Gaal leaving Man Utd due to their results. And while he is not getting the results that is expected, he is playing it safe and defensively. 

While winning, would there have been complaints about boring football?

- Probably.

Would it have been as many critics?

- No, Not even close.

Do I believe that defensive football is bad football?

No, I can enjoy a defensive and tactic approach to the game. However, when not conceding. It would be nice to score a few goals to manage to get three points from the games though. And the statistics during the start of the season spoke about few attempts on goal.

But at the same time. Man Utd were close to the top of the table during the entire start of the season. Yes, it is because the rest of the top teams were failing to perform as well. But still. Cut him some slack. 

No matter what the result is at the end of the season. I read or heard somewhere that he signed for 3 years and that he had no intention of trying to build something long-term. He signed on for 3 years and that is the time he will spend in Manchester.

Would I have liked someone trying to build another dynasti?

- Of course. But at the present time maybe something stable and secure is the best. I mean van Gaal has been making miracles with the defense since he took over. 

Every single time the ball came down towards our defense I got nervous. It hurt inside, I liked Evans, Smalling, Blackett and McNair a lot. Guys who have been at the club for a long time or who came from the academy. I wanted them to succeed so badly but they kept making the wrong decisions in dangerous situations.

What did Louis say to Smalling?

- He is amazing now. I'd say give him the rank of captain when Rooney is not on the field.

Fun challenges in Football Manager

Which challenge will you take on next?

Every season soccer fans are shocked by some clubs and how poorly they played. Or some teams will surprise the fans positively. Either way. These teams present us Football Manager players with intresting challenges.

I mean, when a "big club" fails to perform. Surely you can do better, right? Right? 

We all think like that. 

Another thing is the clubs that used to win titles some 10-20 years back. Whatever happened to those teams?

To name some of the teams that fail miserable in real life... How about names like A.C. Milan, Deportivo La Coruna, Liverpool, Roma, Lazio, Blackburn and Leeds. These are just some I came up with straight away. I am sure there are other clubs that are even better examples.

I am a sucker for A.C. Milan from growing up. I am not following the team in real life but for some reason I feel great when managing them on Football Manager. 

Blackburn is another team I like to try, I usually never manage to stay focused on them for a long time though. I remember when they won the Premier League. That was not thaaaat long ago, 1995. What a fall since then.

New Harry Potter trilogy

Hype! Hype! Hype! November 2016!

The new movies will take place 70 years before the previous Harry Potter movies. That means in the 1920's and in New York this time. 
From a book written by J.K.Rowling, under the pseudonym "Newt Scamander". This is actually a textbook that Harry Potter purchases for his first year at Hogwarts. This is some insane shit right here. An actual book, to explain a part of the Harry Potter universe. 

According to the source I read 80% of the revenue from the book goes to poor children in different places. Another book like it has already been released, "Quidditch through the ages". It is supposed to have raised around 17 million pounds for charity. Sounds insane, right! Wikipedia for the win!

So this is really something huge. Like J.R.R Tolkien did with Lord of the rings, creating a universe surrounding the story. 

The trailer for the movie.

So we will get to know Newt Scamander on his journey to find magical creatures? Sounds awesome! I bet there will be a lot of cool ones and awesome special effects.

Personally I will be more intrested in seeing more about how the world of magic turned out to the world it is in the original movies.
Do we get to see more about a young Dumbledore? The death relics being used?

And will the entire trilogy be about Newt? I hope we get to follow other characters as well. Maybe a new main character in each movie?

Fun fact. Reading the list of characters and which actors are going to play them, one role in particular makes you blink.

Proper session at the gym!

Finally back at the gym with someone to watch my back

It has been a while since I went to the gym for a proper workout and having someone with me. Now I felt fucking great today. All traces of the cold that has bothered me for months is gone! At least for now...

What did I do when I finally could perform a proper workout?
Well, I was so excited that I mixed quite a bit but I focused on chest since I could finally use the benchpress properly.
If I can call it properly. It has been a while since I used it so I did not really feel as strong as I used to be but I will get there, I will get there!


The different exercises can be found Here! in the database on my blog. Instructional videos on how to perform them as well.

To continue talking chest workout I continued with incline dumbbell benchpress. And this is a funny thing that one need to think about every time. When choosing the weights. At first you need to remember what weights you used last time. Then, and this is important, you need to remember in what order you did the exercises.

This is why. If you have been using the benchpress first, you will not be able to lift as heavy dumbbells as you would if you did that exercise first! 

To finish off the chest part of this post I sat down in the pec deck. I did do a lot of other exercises that hit the chest area as well, since I did some triceps exercises as well. I did not manage to get that pump that I am going for during every workout session. Not in the chest at least.
Triceps felt way more exhausted after the workout session was done. And that is like Arnold would have said, like cumming.

I did some triceps in the cable cross doing cable pushdowns and pulldowns. Then I played around some with the dumbbells but not really performing any exercise too serious. I finished off strongly though with a machine that basically makes you perform dips.

My favorite part of this whole workout session was standing in front of the big mirrors doing my biceps curls. Watching the muscles work, the veins swell and just enjoy the moment. I wish I had a picture of that. That is what makes this thing called workout so addictive. To see results, see the muscles work - I love it!

Lets just hope I did not scare my new gym buddy too bad, and that he will continue with me on this path. Give me some weights and large mirrors and say bye bye to sanity. 
It is fucking on! Gametime! Bye normal Roman and hello narcissistic beast within.... The kind of personality that I suppose lives in a lot of people that do work out regurarly. 

PC and Mobile owns Consoles in earnings 2015

Did you think that console were beating PC?

Think again, here are some amazing statistics! I found them on Gamereactor.eu and I had to share them with you guys. 

Look at the low numbers in the console column! What is happening. I did not think that it was this low compared to the Mobile games even!

Why is this?

Well, the PC and Mobile games are available to a larger number of people. It might be as simple as that. It probably is too.

I just did not think it was this big of a difference. 

Grand Theft Auto V is on both PC and Console. On that particular game, consoles make more money. League of Legends that is a free to play game is on top. Micro-transactions is all of those numbers? Or is broadcast rights etc accounted for? I have no idea.
