Finally finished Metal Gear Solid 3.

It feels nice running through some classic moments that I've only really read about, like Snake climbing up a long ladder with the Snake Eater theme song playing, EVA meeting Snake (which is the furthest I've gotten in past attempts), and finally, the ending. Damn, that was good.

Same! Well, I finished watching it on YouTube... 4+ hours...

Edit: What's next story-wise?

Not bitter, just unsweetened
Soooo seattle is one step away from having their arena approved

And glendale voted last night to start contract negotiations with beacon sports to replace the coyotes as their arena manager

Welp.

That's amazing. I got star struck just seeing them at a game.

Did he... Like... Order them and use cash, like people do?

He spoke directly to the servant as though she weren't a base life form, and even stored his money in a wallet like the rest of us filth. It was eye opening.

Mgs3 ending gets me every time. That debriefing soundtrack, and credits too. :(

Also is the Kane thing being misreported? Negotiating with a witness in a criminal proceeding sounds very strange. There should be a crime for tampering with witnesses?

Rangers are on the ice again scrimmaging today. Joining the group today are Fast, Lindberg, and Stoll, as well as Brett Bellemore as an invitee. Aside from Mac and Hank (slackers), that should be just about everybody reporting for duty at this point, I think.

Not bad considering training camp is still a week off.

I've been impressed with these reports. Really everyone attending optionals is great for morale and to develop chemistry, get to know the new faces, etc. Now Mac and Hank need to stop doing promotional nonsense =P

Edit: NHL 16 trial from EA Access soon. Wonder if it unlocks at midnight or tomorrow afternoon. Eager to see how BAGM plays so I can decide if I'm skipping it until later for the third consecutive year. That'd be a shame seeing as I got an XB1 primarily for NHL. Thinking I should have just gotten the PS4 now. More interesting titles in the pipeline imo.

Having countries in both North American and Europe participate, and then having a Team North America and a Team Europe sounds a little weird.

"Team North America"

I like the idea of the 2 unified teams. It eliminates the need for a couple of lame duck teams from countries who lack the talent depth. All 8 teams will be competative.

I'm sure the U-23 NA teams will have some young americans, but let's not kid ourselves here, this is going to be Team Canada #2. Given the popularity of the World Juniors in Canada, I can see this team being a very popular underdog. It's also going to be a very good team.

I think I'm the only person who likes the idea of a under 23 team. It has the potential for some really great hockey.

Thankfully in the official language it says "23 and under" as opposed to "under 23" as they've been telling us

a team of 22 and under players would be... bad

I'm so sick about the whole "who's the captain" discussion in Montreal right now

we all know who the captain is, and he can't wear a C on his jersey, period. Move on.

I love that they are projecting a goaltender to be on Team North America who hasn't even played a full NHL game yet. That's how dire the development situation is for young American and Canadian goalies right now.

Nobody wants to be a goalie.
