| Ok so i am getting bored with maplestory so i need some help deciding on what to do with my free time. What i really want to do is self teach myself a skill. What i mean by this is simple programming, video editing, photo editing, or anything else. I would like it to be a computer program but i am willing to do something else. So since i cant decide i came to basil to ask the user's opinions. SO here is where you guys and gals come in. Help me decide by voting on what you guys think i should do. Feel free to comment on my choices or to make other choices for me. Thank you in advance guys! |

| How so? Your body may "look" good, but what you acquire from exercise is not solely physical strength. Also, I did not mean to exercise after work, I meant before work, preferably at 6AM if you can. |

Hmm I may actually consider that.Sadly that helps me only by helping me get healthy but I am still left with the free time after work and the urge to learn a new skill. But I think I will start doing excercise in the morning =D. Also Instruments are slightly out of the question because although i have a job I cant see myself paying $100 for an instrument that I will probley attempy and possibley give up on.Thank you for your suggestions people of basil xD but anyone got more before i make up my mind. So far i am thinking along the lines of Excercise and either video editing or programming. But that does not mean I wont change my mind. |

If you push yourself as much as you can when you exercise, trust me, if you get off of work at night, you wont want to do anything but shower, eat, and sleep. |

| Thats true. Its generally only viable for my friends whom have empty basements. But hey, that still leaves the computer, and when all else fails, at least your fingers are getting proper exercise. :D |

Also, you say you want to have some more fun with MapleStory, so I suggest you learn about making your own server. It's quite an experience and you'll learn a lot about servers in general. After you've established your server, you can start coding it to customize it to your liking (MapleStory's code is very simple compared to that of other games, and it's pretty easy to catch on to.) Then you could learn Flash to make a banner for your server and post it on a server toplist, and you may eventually even move on from using sites to host your server to learning html and h.osting your own website. Then comes the moral decisions such as the rules of your server and who to appoint as game masters and so on. It's quite an experience, and if you have the will to pull through the trial and error and frustrations, you'll leave with a lot more knowledge of how things work." Had you read the thread, you wouldve found he he has a job, as that was the first think I suggested. As for a maplestory server, Im pretty sure thats against Nexons ToS. |

That's illegal, and costs a lot of money. |

| Hmm yes thats a nice opinion but its illegal costly and that is something that i wouldnt see any fruits in my effort when i am only half way through and a single mistake could possibley cause me to "restart" my entire project but i see where yu are coming from. And skye09 i have so far decided to start jogging in the mornings but i still cant find an actuall skill that i am going to pick up and learn to do. I already talked to my girl friend to see if she wanted to jog with me tommarow, and we decided that we will try it out. (i need her for a bit more motivation to get me through the jog =D) |

(i need her for a bit more motivation to get me through the jog =D)" I dont mean taking a nice easy jog that will give you sweat. Im talking about getting in the gym and pumping some iron to strengthen your muscles, and jumpin on the track doing some HIIT workouts to lose the fat. |

| None of anything I said costs money. A server is hosted off of your own computer unless you pay a monthly fee to have it hosted on a dedicated server in some other state. And who gives a crap if it's illegal, Nexon can suck my balls. They're scamming naive little children and making them steal mommy's credit card so they can spend money on pixels which they will regret so much in the future. EDIT: Don't forget to buy pure whey protein and have 1 scoop with some milk or water within 60 minutes of your workout. And remember to not lift for more reps, lift harder for less reps. More reps with less weight tones lean muscle, less reps with more weight adds bulk and tears your muscles open even more, but it's no problem when you get enough protein to rebuild those muscles and retain that swollen look to get bigger muscles quicker. |
