Ok, I play around and when I pass people they all say "Wow, look at the muscles on you!!" this is BS, because in real life I got big muscles too (play football and did some body building) and noone says that in the streets to me, but in the game people say it, this all is unfair.

They say it in the game because they were programmed to say that. In real life people don't say things like that to a complete stranger.

maybe in the elder scrolls universe, people are less prohibited and freely say such things than in our universe. and maybe in the elder scrolls universe, muscular people aren't that common for whatever reason, prompting people to notice those that are muscular more so than people are prone to notice muscles in your part of the world. and maybe muscles aren't as revered in your part of the world as it is in the elder scrolls universe. and maybe your physique isn't all that. and maybe standard of fairness isn't worth applying to in games. and maybe the game just sucks.

well, I agree I am not the smartest, that is why I became an airline pilot and not an engeneer, but why does everyone think that muscular guys are all idiots and gorillas ? I lived in a town my whole life in my childhood where there was nothing but a gym, football field and a gas station with a cool guy that had his boeing stearman who taught me how to fly, so what else was I supposed to do ??? Please stop calling big people dumb gorillas, we work out for years man, we hurt ourselves doing this too, it's a dance, a must-do, and I never took creatine, protein shakes or any other illegal crap, all with steak and water.

only one dude called you a dumb gorilla. i for one made no such assumptions, as i'm sure is the case with everyone else with the exception of that one dude. no need to flaunt your resume here. we're all dumb gamers.

I think the guy tried to make a joke... and some people just misunderstood that.

BTW, Creatine and protein shakes are not illegal. Although creatine is crap, I remember the first and the last time I tried it... I drank 4 liters of water while working out and did not go to the bathroom for three hrs after that. That's just unnatural, freaked me out. All my veins looked like they were about to pop any second... Damn, that stuff really makes your body to hold back water.

Artur, I don't know what kind of Creatine you took because the opposite of what you said is supposed to happen. You would go to the bathroom much more frequent due to drinking more water (otherwise you get dehydrated since your muscles store it all) and your veins would not pop out, the opposite, because the water add on into your muscles causes you to have an extra layer of mass and not muscles, meaning, they would hide the veins more. Your veins popping out was purely your training and excercises and if you can see someone's veins that is a good sign by the way, meaning, you got practially almost no body fat. Creatine and Protein stuff is bad because there is no authority controlling what is put inside, meaning, it is all cheap chemical stuff designed in labs that screws up your kidneys and such...

Cool to see some fellow gamers work out too,

Peace

You're right, I think there was small amounts of beta-blockers in that creatine, hence the popping veins. Although you're not right about the bathroom thing, as long as your body/muscles are able to "absorb" all that water, you don't really have to go to the bathroom for a while. Now when that effect wears off (for me usually one or two hrs after a workout), you run to and from the bathroom the whole evening. Anyway, you know the pump you get after a good strength-workout? After taking that creatine, that pump was insane, too bad it was all water, lol.

If the creatine is "pure" stuff, there are no studies that have shown any kidney damage. Problem like you say is you never know what they put in there.

Man, pretty off-topic now, heh.
