I don't really care about the L4D franchise, but Source 2 is intruiging.

L4D>L4D2

Agreed.

 

[RC]

I refuse to believe that.

Kopitar's his favourite player. I wish I was making this up. If I had a moustache I'd shave it off in disgust.

The Source engine has been through significant alterations and enhancements since it was originally released. I wouldn't get too excited.

Whatever gets me HL3.

 

[Freyjadour]

L4D3 showed up on Steam today, it's happening

HL3 confirmed.

Always figured HL3 would be the first Source 2 game, but whatever gets us there.

 

[apocalidiot]

Source was incredible. God bless Valve

 

[ShaneB]

Source was incredible. God bless Valve

It still is incredible. I'm a simple man, so with all the updates it's gotten over the years, I still think Source games still look fantastic, and they run so damn well.

 

[Heretic]

Tom Selleck's favourite team is the Queens? I think I'm going to be sick.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit...

 

[Cake Boss]

Daniel Alfreddson is at Sensplex interesting

 

[KernelPanic]

Maybe he forgot his iPhone in his stall or something.

Detroit, I am coming in shot.

The only thing that really bugs me are the load times, especially when I'm loading up something like a small Portal 2 workshop map. I still occasionally get stuttering problems, but that seems to vary from game to game.

I'm listening to Mumford and Sons for the first time ever (outside of hearing snippets of their songs).

Damn, enjoy! Their first album was amazing.
Second one is okay, more of the same - which isn't bad.

 

[Curufinwe]

Some advanced stats about defensemen in the East. This little nugget stood out to me.

http://nhlnumbers.com/2013/8/6/eastern-conference-defensemen-pairingtier-vs-team-production

Chara and teammate Patrice Bergeron shared the ice for 229:23 of even-strength ice time this past season, and during that time, the Bruins surrended a grand total of 1 goal.

 

[Fei]

I know there were one or two Canuck fans who (incorrectly) thought Ehrhoff has been terrible in Buffalo, so this might be surprising:

Back in April, Thomas Drance astutely suggested that Christian Ehrhoff should be getting "Norris buzz", and he wasn't wrong. In a season full of lowlights and disappointment in Buffalo, The Hoff was a star, while getting nearly no help from any of his teammates. It wasn't too long ago that Canucks fans were cool with seeing him walk in free agency; now, they'd give up a kidney to see him driving play from the back-end for their team.

 

[Smiley90]

I know there were one or two Canuck fans who (incorrectly) thought Ehrhoff has been terrible in Buffalo, so this might be surprising:

What? Which Canuck fans were "cool" with letting him go during free agency? AFAIK everyone was sad to see him go, he was great for us. We've missed him ever since. We just couldn't afford him without him taking a hometown discount - which he didn't take. No ill feelings towards him, but we were definitely sad to see him leave.

As a young man, I would have let that girl ruin my life for 3-6 months before she took off with all my CD's and a bunch of my shit and I would have told you it was worth it. You'd have been all like "calder dude, she's fucking nuts and terrible for you and I think she's a meth addict and I'm almost certain she blows random dudes at the bar every night you're not there" and I'd have said "Yeah maybe so random guy I know from NHL-GAF, but I love her and besides she said she'll change. Also let's listen to that Oasis album again because it's 1996 and that shit is tight."

Amusing article right after DiPetro was drafted, the quotes from Milbury are hilarious in retrospect:

I think NHL-GAF should be retired until the season starts. Post will not be topped.

Not at all surprising that someone somewhere wrote something that's stupid.

Mmmm I enjoyed this.

Serious question. Have you ever done creative writing in your free time?

The first episode of the Flyers' web documentary Flight Plan is up if anyone's interested--The War Room.

Only 8 minutes, but hopefully it'll be interesting (they blurred the draft photo, but talk about some of the higher defensive rankings)

 

[bonesmccoy]

We just couldn't afford him without him taking a hometown discount - which he didn't take.

What kind of discount did Vancouver need him to take?

edit: From Red's article:

"In the end, we thought the quality that DiPietro will bring is just a notch above Luongo. If we're wrong, we may have made an unbelievable mistake. It'll be bonehead city. It's my job. If we're not a better team immediately, off with my head. I've been here five years, and I'm tired of losing."

 

[Socreges]

What kind of discount did Vancouver need him to take?

Bieksa and Hamhuis are both making under $5m. They didn't want to pay Ehrhoff much more than that (IIRC he wanted $6m) and they didn't want to give him a 10-year deal either.

THE SECOND COMING!!! ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF PAIN!!!

So I just got a really good job offer and might soon be moving to my fourth capital city of my fourth province. I swear to god I'm gonna hit every capital of every province before I die.

Which capital?

 

[Solo]

Living amongst the Newfs!

Previously I've done New Brunswick, Alberta and Nova Scotia.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

I'm listening to Mumford and Sons for the first time ever (outside of hearing snippets of their songs).

I love that song that has the word 'heart' in the lyrics.

I choke-laughed. Fantastic post.

The essential question is, does the new job have more or less graveyard shifts?

Labrador > Newfoundland... not really, but I am bias.

LOL it was just that once, mang!

Hours-wise it would be the same, just an increase in responsibilities and a really nice increase in pay.

Good Christ, man, you sure these have been promotions and not punishments?

In two years they'll send you to The Wall and you'll be telling us of the dental benefits.

"Good news Solo, an opportunity in Siberia has just come up!"

You ever heard of someone giving $5 handjobs on the streets not work graveyard shifts?

The blurring wasn't too effective. The Flyers really, really loved Morin so that late season run cost them nothing. They would have taken him as high as sixth.

Follow the thread. Solo is making $7/per now and is responsible for happy endings.

The HAPPIEST.

Anyways, this job would be around a $15K raise, so yes, I'll go to Siberia for that.
