I have been playing Pacwar, UV and WITP for a number of years but I hardly run or exercise. Do you guys exercise? Now I believe playing WITP and running can give you the highs!

What - at the same time? Does running round in circles and tearing your hair count?

The weight is usually Hoegaarden, sometimes Stella Artois, or on a special occasions, I lift some Kilkenny. Also, when my gym account runs out, I excerse with Ozujsko (cheap local crap piss-excuse-for-an-ale).

I do find I justify drinking wine or beer after having done some exercise. E.G. I'm playing badminton tonight so i've justified it to myself that its ok to eat this bag of crisps and this drifter bar.

Status: offline 		I'm 21 so no need to excercise to keep my weight down. I am doing a bit of excercising to keep my weight up to be honest. Before I joined the army I was 182 cm (6 foot) tall and weighed 60kg (133 lbs) Naturally things improved after my service and now i'm at a comfortable 65-67kg (140-145lbs). Being a tutor and a game master at a youth summer camp oriented on RPG's helped, as we practiced swordsmanship almost every day. lots of other activities involved running around as well..

Surely riding a bike would save your time from walking?

LOL Actually I enjoy riding a bike when on vacation, in the father's old family house on the Adriatic island, island that is almost car-free, great for bike riding. Riding a bike in city environment though, seems very dangerous, unhealthy (inhaling exhaust fumes etc.) and unenjoyable by comparison.

So yah, I exercise and play WitP
