Most of the trouble I had was in chapter 5. The
U3 boss
fight gave me trouble and the regenerators can be a pain in the ass to kill if you don't have incendiary grenades, and I found knocking them down and knifing them would only work half the time.

Did you not find the scope for seeing the regenerator heat points? I forget what it's called. Basically you see temperature like The Predator. It's kind of super important for killing generators without throwing away a kajillion bullets.

I don't think being a young team will hurt NA too much in this tournament. It's the first year it's happening, the whole thing is kinda silly and It doesn't have the pressure of the Olympics or anything. I think the players will be having fun.

I think the fact it's a short tournament means it's anyone's to win.

I don't get the impression the NHLers are taking it seriously. Probably due to a long season with a long playoffs with numerous other tournaments and the Olympics as well. Never understood why some fans say "the World Cup is only about money" when it applies to the Olympics as well.

I'll still watch though. I wasn't too interested in the last World Cup but the intensity did ramp up at the end.

If there's any interest, I can probably whip up a WCH thread in OT.

We'd need a good ol Don Quick rant about every single team though....!

Nope I don't recall finding a scope like that

I went into the game blind though and didn't use a guide so if I missed a few things like that then I'm not shocked.

Aw man. It's just laying around in one of the rooms when the regenerator stuff begins. I almost think that only the first encounter is where you have to do without it and after that it's on a shelf or behind glass.

Edit: infrared is the word I was looking for lol

But the World Cup is just a big event to show case NHL players.

The Olympics is something different, being an olympic participant is something special and something bigger than the NHL.

It is kind of ironic how team U 23 is one of the things that make the tournament into a joke at the same time as being one of the few interesting things about the tournament.

Surprised to see Shorty and Garrett getting the call to call pre tournament games, but otherwise pretty obvious choices. Though David Amber getting more face time makes me think of what one of my buddies said: that he looks like a middle manager at CIBC.

Got a 4K monitor, I tired Battlefield 1 and Overwatch. I'll probably play most games at 2K to maintain 60 FPS. Battlefield 1 looks really nice.

not to far from what I have actually, except I have a GTX 670 instead of that GTX 980 Ti, fuck you very much

I really wanted to upgrade to a 1080 but lolCAD

EDIT : oh wait I think I have an i7-3770, not 47

hmm, maybe 4k isn't too far off for me then. I put a shit graphics card (GTX 950) in my build though since I'm trying really, really hard to not put games on it and use it just for work/research. I need to buy a monitor anyways (using my hoary old 720p TV as one lol) but 1440p is probably more than enough for what I use it for.

I don't think we're quite there getting close though. The 1080 for example struggles with Doom at 4K.

I was debating this, but I think this is just called the World Junior Championship Trophy? Granted the World Cup trophy might not necessarily be a cup if they're gonna do a variant of the 2004...whatever that was.

I'm not sure if it's called a cup

but it is a cup

Canada does, because we need something to place our patriotism on since we are essentially Americans anyway

I do, because frankly at this point, it's so obvious that it's almost silly why people still believe Canada is actually Canada aside from a few different things.

But that is another topic.

You post some really strange stuff. Are you US-born?

US nationalism is the same. Nationalism itself is the same. It's manufactured ideology that focuses on differentiation as a source of pride. Canada basically made ice hockey a thing. Its always been popular nationwide (more recently in western Canada). With some exceptions, we've generally been #1. It makes sense that it'd be a focal point of nationalism.
