I don't really care that much about specs, give me games I want and I'll be there. If all Scorpio does is increase the resolution and framerate of XB1 games I will have to pass.

Matthews, Marner, and Nylander are on their splash page. Wonder if that's a cover athlete(s) hint.

Hmm... I do play up the weeabooisms here, but I'm actually not an anime expert by any means. I think it's a fantastic artistic medium. Yes. However, I probably only watch like 4 series a year and they don't even have to be from the present. I've only seen like 4 or 5 Ghibli movies. I do enjoy Japanese pop culture in general, but it's not limited to anime. I'm fascinated by their games, literature, cinema and music too. Don't care about manga though. Nothing against it. Just not something I seek out.

What does it change about sony fanboys? They're willing to lower their acceptance standards to whatever shovelware Sony publishes.

Anyways...

Seattle is announcing their Arena plans ina bout an hour... and they have an NHL ownership group with a billionaire ... looks like expansion round 2 is coming

Basically... Quebec is getting fucked lol

Always fun to see Dopey dropping his GameFAQS-style console warrior shit in here because he's far too scared to reveal the full scale of his delusion in a gaming thread.

I'd like nothing more than for the 32nd team to be in Seattle. Get some good cross nation blood between Seattle and Vancouver.

I'd make the trek from the BC interior to Seattle for a game sometime, it's only an hour further than Vancouver from here and I've always wanted to check out the city. Tickets would probably be cheaper than in Vancouver as well.

Seattle is a great city.

You should come to Victoria, stay with Socreges or Quick, then take the Port Angeles ferry over to Washington. Then from Port Angeles, drive to Bainbridge Island and take that ferry right into downtown Seattle.

It's because he demands too much money. I've had friends that worked on the 2K hockey games (I almost did as well) and he told me that they'd approach him every year but it was just too expensive.

Trying to think what it would take for a Jet to get a cover. Laine would have to get 100 goals. And probably a conn smyth.

Relocate to Seattle, and Laine might make it on the Finnish version of the game.

Wouldn't be surprised if he actually is the Finnish cover athlete, if that's a thing.
