If a Polish guy can be veggie , you can do it too.
Imma call you guys "Hindu Homeboys".
 
I'm a Kardashian girl. I need meat in my mouth to survive.

Decided to go on a meat cleanse by eating vegetarian for a week. Started Monday. After 5 days I noticed these changes
 
.Stomach aches and cramps went away
.It's a lot easier to shit, and it smells less
Don't feel bloated and tired after a meal
By the Friday I noticed a boost in energy. I got up at 3:30am to commute to work. Arrived by 5:30am. Was asked to work OT so worked from 6am to 5:30pm. And still had the energy to drive home from Birmingham to Atlanta without needing to rest before hand. Getting home by 9:15pm. 
 
I dont know if ill go full vegetarian. But I'm definitely limiting how much meat I eat from now on. Wish I had done this sooner.
 

I also liked the LOS series. 
They are serviceable action games and were an interesting take on the Castlevavia series, imo. 

I legit don't understand this line of thinking from people. If you played and knew the series, LoS (1 anyway) is Castlevania in spades. I suspect the only people who think it's "not Castlevania" are people who played SotN, Rondo, and a couple other random CV games (probably the Sorrow games, now THOSE are games that don't really feel like Castlevania imo) and based it off that.

@po_pimpusyou all know he has an account here right? 

Well until now, no. 😂

I liked LOS1 as well but I couldn't finish LOS2,the modern setting and stealth missions killed it for me. Back to LOS1 I remember I beat the game on hard from the start. It's one of the few games that let's you change the difficulty setting from the beginning without having to beat the game first on default difficulty. That being said the game was still a little easy, bosses weren't much of a thread, I pretty much beat them with the same two hit combo + dodge, rinse repeat. Satan was the only one I had a hard time with. Everything else was great, the graphics, the setting, the soundtrack was good although it didn't have any of the music any other of the castlevanias are known for I think I only recognized one track from super castlevania IV and that was it. What the game needed was to incorporate more castlevania elements to make it feel more like a castlevania game. They could have done that for the sequel but instead they focused to much on the story side on the second part rather than the gameplay IMO. 

(inserts random hateful rant about Capcom) 
 
There fam, you should feel at home now. 👍🏾

Chalk up another one for an LOS fan. I really liked LOS1 and liked LOS2 enough. We just rarely got to talk about it on SRK because every time someone mentioned LOS, Po would have a fucking annurism and piss all over the page. 

Copped LOS 1&2 for 15 bucks. 
 
I hate PC 

My biggest issues with LoS is how it chose to tell it's story. There's too much telling and not enough showing. I often felt a disconnect over how the game told me Gabriel was feeling and how he was actually portrayed in cutscenes. 

I'm damn happy to see other Lord of Shadows fans. That game is very underrated. 

Yeah I actually really liked LOS too. I think it had some issues with being too repetitive towards the end but, overall it was an awesome action game with a bunch of love put into it. 
 
Pretty gorgeous looking game too for that gen. 

Tbh it has so many combo routers it gets insane. I can't remember all of them but i know i enjoyed the holy skill tree more even though the shadow one is cool as well.I really does have a complex combat system and when you combine it with the multiple weapon / resources you got, holy water, daggers, pixies and so on it makes for an awesome experience. 
 
The boss fights were satisfying and i'm not just talking about the Lords of Shadow themselves, oh no, there a  plenty of other bosses that were a lot of fun such as the Butcher / Furnace master , the big ogre in the castle and the list goes on.The platforming was good and the puzzles sometimes made me scratch my head a bit. I dislike having to backtrack on some stages when i find the proper upgrades to unlock a certain path but i't  a minor complaint, i enjoy the game a lot regardless.
 
I may try Paladin difficulty but this is not an easy game at all imo, it could get intense.

Same here! I loved how gritty the story was, the setting, the enemies, etc. The game's combat system was really fluid and deep (you can always tell people who are either bad at action games or just didn't bother to mess with the combat system and call it a "GoW clone" 😂)  and I really had a blast with it. It feels a lot more satisfying then LoS2's even though I liked what they did with that one. All the stuff people talk about "bluuuhhhh is not Castlevania" is people who have a really narrow definition of what CV constitutes and don't seem to really know the history of the series.
 
I also thought it was a cool origin story for the series, especially with the DLC where Gabe has to take vampire blood to save the world. He's a much more sympathetic character than Leon imo.
 
I platinum'ed the game, probably one of the only games I consciously did they for and I had a blast doing it. Maybe I'll take another run through it, it's been awhile since I played it. 

Glad to hear someone else liked LoS1 besides me. I've been a massive CV fan since 88/89, and I thought the direction they went with LoS (1 anyway) was excellent. It's unfortunate that the game gets the bad rap it does by legions of internet people who have probably never really played it.

Lemme guess, you were/are an SF4 player? 
 
I'm on my honeymoon right now so I ain't wiping shit 😂 Little dude is good tho, almost 16 months, walking, making lots of sounds, and is starting to look like he's into technical stuff, figuring out how wheels work, opening and closing doors and drawers, etc. He can actually pay a lot of attention when a movie or song he likes is on. How's your lil bit?

Exactly. The phone still has a lot left in it really, though if it had an unlocked bootloader, I could flash a custom ROM to it and probably use it even longer.
