  1. who's ready for the playoffs?!!??!

    i think its been a great season overall with lots of entertaining storylines. i am interested to see if teams like the islanders and lightning can take the next step and make noise. crazy that calgary has kept winning all year and the runs minnesota and ottawa have had recently. (though im not sure ottawa will make it)

    personally, i just want to see some new teams in the later rounds. pretty sick of boston, chicago, pittsburgh, los angeles, etc.

    my stars are all but eliminated so i will get to just watch. my former team the wings might make it but they have been falling apart lately.

    Boston and Pittsburgh are getting worse and worse every year. This year Pittsburgh went for a tougher team but now they have less skill on the wing and they take way too many penalties. Boston is getting older and they aren't filling the void with new prospects like they use to, losing two really good defensemen like Boychuk and Ference hurt them a lot. Chicago and LA will still be in mix until they lose their core group of guys on either team. With the salary cap not going up next year, that might happen to Chicago again but I doubt it. I really hope Winnipeg can sneak in over LA and take them out of the playoff picture (both teams are currently tied with 90 pts).

    If I had to make a playoff prediction right now, I would say New York Rangers vs. Anaheim Ducks in the Stanley Cup Finals, but I reserve the right to change my mind before the start of the playoffs :)

    It's surprising to see a stars fan, good to know there are people who support them.

  2. Me: Anderson you've being saying some crazy stuff all day, do you want to fight?

    Anderson: What?

    Me: What's your stance, orthodox or southpaw?

    Anderson: Why are you talking about religion?

  3. pacman has been criticized for not having power either, hes just known for his speed. yea they are both out of their prime, but since manny doesnt have power, speed, or the same defensive skill as floyd. I think floyd will win.

    Even though their old, i cant wait for this fight.

    Uhhh Manny has 38 KOs, he has power. He has the most power in his left hand and what gives him an advantage against orthodox fighters (like Floyd) is his southpaw stance. If you don't know, southpaw fighters have an advantage in style because their left hand (the one which is easiest to sneak through the guard of an orthodox fighter) is their power hand. It's going to be one of the toughest fights Floyd has ever had and I can't wait for it.

    This is boxing so I can only hope that this fight won't be "fixed". If it goes to a decision, I hope it's a fair one that everyone can agree on unlike the robbery that occurred with Bradley vs. Pacquiao.

  4. Even though i want pacman to win, floyds gonna beat him. Theres a reason why floyd avoided fighting him, its because he didnt want to fight pacman at his prime.

    You could argue that Floyd isn't in his prime either (Floyd is 38 and Manny is 36 yrs old). Floyd is probably the smartest boxer and greatest defensive boxer in history but at the end of the day it's boxing and one punch can end the match. That's where Manny can have an advantage, he has more than enough power to knock Floyd out whereas Floyd has been criticized for not having any power in his punches. If it goes the distance then it probably means Floyd will win the fight based on decision BUT if Manny wins it'll be because of a KO/TKO. It'll be a great match, defense vs. offense.

  5. As stated it's unclear whether Captain Slow and the Hamster will continue without him. Chris Evans ruled himself out as the replacement (thank God) but is there someone who could fill Clarkson's shoes? It ain't exactly international politics, but this is one of the most internationally renowned shows at stake.

    I doubt May and Hammond will do the show without him. May has been quoted saying "the three of us are a package" and when asked about who Clarkson's replacement will be he stated "much as I think he's a nob, I quite like working with Jeremy". It's all in the video below.

    I think they'll all leave and go start another show with another network.

  6. I've always loved the builder genre of games and so I decided to give this one a go. I was hesitant to buy it at first because I had previously bought Cities XL and I found that game to be WAY too complicated and too overwhelming. Cities: Skylines, however, has just the right amount of micro managing I enjoy in a builder game. I'm still trying to figure out how to manage traffic so that's a work in progress. Anyways, I'm not sure how many people own this game but if you do, you should post pics of your city!

    Welcome to Raider Valley, we hope you enjoy your stay!

    Note: If you are wondering what that slightly brown section of the city is, it's my industrial district so there's a lot of pollution in that area. No worries though, there are no residential areas near it :)

    Note: That tall building is called the "High Interest Tower", it helps with land value and increases your income in the area.

    Note: The key to a great city is to have very little traffic congestion, as you can see in my city I have quite a few high traffic areas which are highlighted red. I'm not a city planner in real life so I'm still trying to figure out the best possible solution to my traffic problems :P

  7. Can I say as a Canadian the amount of love and power that Americans imbue in their flag is just confusing to most of the world. It's a Flag, a thing made of cloth, people should be allowed to hand, Burn (which is the proper manner in which to dispose of a damage/ well worn flag the world over), or hide as the owner sees fit...

    just my opinion.

    Can I just say as a Canadian, his/her opinion is just wrong and in no way reflects how all Canadians feel about their flag. I love my flag, it should never touch the ground and it should never burn. That flag represents a country and people who protect that country have worn it (whether it was stitched on their clothing or painted on a vehicle) and died with it for that country. I like to respect their memory and the sacrifice they made by respecting the symbol of a country they fought for.

    Just MY opinion.

  8. It focused too much on excessive content with no depth. Complete your faction? Here, go play essentially the same quests, but slightly harder.

    If I'd have played one more dream sequence quest I probably would've gone into a coma myself.

    This.

    The game was a let down for me, the end game was kind of lacking and the crafting became a nuisance.
