Just when i thought i could not love iron culture any more, omar outs himself as a true fallout head shitting on bethesda. And rightfully so. Already spectacular episode
Fitness fatigue in fitness professionals is sooo real! 10 yrs in that field and I can tell anyone looking at it as a career is to have multiple streams of income and do not expect to train folks 40hrs a week
Great episode! I am not a coach, but as a client I have often wondered how I would know if I have a good trainer. I do have a (very) young personal trainer, and this was a good episode for me to realize that although he is not as experienced as others he has almost all the other traits you discussed. I am reassured that he has all the right qualities needed for the job! Thanks for another great discussion
Such a great Podcast, as someone who’s been a trainer for 10 years working 35-40 session hours per week I can definitely say it’s not for the faint of heart. You have to really give a shit about your people and learn when to put yourself aside for the betterment of your clients.
I'm waiting for the Irish Oyric type greeting some day. And Street Fighter 2 Turbo is hell of a choice to make a comeback with. THANK YOU OMAR FOR SPEAKING ABOUT FALLOUT 1 & 2. You rarely hear them mentioned anymore when all the kids have only played Bethesda games. Ironically New Vegas was majorly written by the original Fallout team when they were thinking about the sequel for the first two (Van Buren project). Indeed the Fallout 1 & 2 could be just the thing for Helms from what I've heard. For them you really need to have the Restoration Project or similar mod though. Fixing the massive list of bugs and bringing back cut content or content that was broken. And talking about Doom, John Romero just released the second Sigil, a new episode for the original Doom. They are pretty killer. When I was a teenager or young adult, I might have a weekend where I started playing, visiting kitchen for meals at times, playing until 4 am, wake up at noon and go back to playing. Just that kind of a game, just like Diablo 2 gave that experience. With Fallout 2 especially was like reading a great book but also playing a boardgame sort of experience. You were in no hurry to click things and you could think about the mini-stories. Felt much like a real world (not in a bad way), it wasn't an obvious line from A to B in your quest, you met people and learned about things and navigated through. And any nerd can appreciate the amount of pop culture references baked inside the game with the philosophy "if you don't know the reference, you don't even realize it's a reference". I still play it through almost annually and try to do it in a different way (being a slave to my habits and goody two-shoes it's difficult). One thing I don't understand is why modern games often times fail to have that captivity in the story. Like the games in the 90's weren't particularly subtle or intricate about story telling, many times the writers were just young adults who needed some story for their game. Like Doom, it's just a text wall at the end of an episode, Super Metroid lays a foundation for the setting with a few screens of text in the intro and never again has text or voice. You can still look back to them and talk about all the events that happened throughout the game as a story. Then more elaborate games like Fallout, Diablo etc that had heavy focus on story, but it wasn't professional writers or anything. And they just sink you in deep into the world and story. There are many good games released in the recent years, yet somehow it's almost a rule more than a rarity that the story feels forced and/or superficial and you're just waiting to play the game instead of getting into it. Always wanted to get into Baldur's Gates myself as well, but I was too late to them, couldn't go through the effort of learning it. Watching games from Twitch or UA-cam is pretty nice for someone over 30. That way you don't need to feel energetic or alert to click buttons and invest emotionally in games you're curious about but suspect you could be disappointed by. And many games are so long these days, one small part of the game might take 2 hours. With nes/snes games you could try for an hour, have a couple of tries and game over and you just didn't feel like you're stuck with the game if you want to progress, you could just stop and pop it in another day. Your progress would be many stages during that time and starting all over wouldn't be a trouble.
15 minutes banter...this is getting ridiculous I know its all jokes and stuff but man...didnt you consider same format as on revive stronger channel? One episode serious with the guest and one just chatting?
@@AlphaLionTrillionaire i know i sound like a dork but i feel like this podcast had potentional to became very big and professional, yet it took exact opposite direction...just look at views, first episodes reached 20-30000 easily, then it kind of went down as time passed

Great episode, as always! Thank you gentlemen.
That was great, and really applicable to so many other areas. Thanks.
The real question is whether Omar has played Deus Ex

Thank you guys
3 mins in: fallout 1,2, FNV are RPGs. This is _very_ exposed in 1&2 with the SPECIAL systems. 3 and 4 are shooters with RPG elements.
