OT: Hurricanes Off Topic Lounge XI: The Numbers All Go to 11.

[tomdundo]

The Canes and the playoffs are never ever ever getting back together!

 

[Novacane]

Currently tied. Sensing late drive for the Steelers.

EDIT: Safe.

 

[tomdundo]

So we have one tie this week, and I lost by 1 yard/0.1 points. Interesting...

I'm just lucky Ben didn't throw another pick...

I guess there's still the potential for scoring changes, but this would be a first for me, tying with decimal scoring. And to have the other matchup decided by 0.1, crazy week.

The annoying part is that I lost a playoff matchup in fantasy hockey last year by 0.1 points as well.

And my team would have won in the final matchup had I been playing.

Puck Daddy amuses me sometimes. This is one of those times.

On a related note, who wants to take bets on how long it takes for Skinner to have a song written about him?

Depends on if Jeff Skinner is as famous as Tony Romo.

 

[Novacane]

So I lose for a tie? Cool!

 

[Bub]

This makes me

Retch.

Fixing it...

They should post this line on the Jumbotron when we lose a shootout.

No **** right.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Retch.

Right? Who actually cares about the Blue Jays?

 

[tarheelhockey]

This is quite possibly the most punchable image I have ever seen.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Right? Who actually cares about the Blue Jays?

Didn't you hear? They're the World Series favorite.

"In a related story, Taylor Swift released a new track detailing how she felt receiving a hockey jersey was true love until she found out it was a replica and she’s lying on the cold hard ground and boo-hoo."

Had me rollin

 

[gocanes88]

The line with Kanye was even better.

Did anyone pick up GTA 5?

I had an absolute ass load of people at my store picking it up tonight.

Yes, but I didn't get around to playing much of it today. My roommate, however, has played it for like the past 8 hours.

 

[Novacane]

I've got three more days until I can get my hands on it. Waiting .... impatiently.

 

[SCanedinavian]

Managed to get my hands on it yesterday, played for a few hours and loving it so far, have a feeling tonight will consist mainly of exploring Los Santos.

While we're on the topic of video games. It's been three plus years since the last Metroid game. And that one was way past due.

Metroid has got to be top 3 all time in Nintendo Franchises (After Mario, obviously, and perhaps The Legend of Zelda, though I personally would put it ahead of both of them) and easily a Top 10 Franchise of all video games. Yet us Samus fan boys are always left hanging while Nintendo shoves some gimmicky, overly cartoony Mario or Zelda game down our throats.

Metroid is by far the most "Adult" of Nintendo's franchises and that gritty, realistic, sad, nihilistic story line is what drew me in, in the first place.

In short Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto, I want less of this:



And more of this:



I may like to act like a kid, but I'm not six anymore

I've got three more days until I can get my hands on it. Waiting .... impatiently.

My debit card on record with amazon was out of date. So I will get today since its 2 day delivery.

 

[SCanedinavian]

Ah, I see the "violent video games are the root of all the worlds evils" story has come back yet again. How long till they finally find something new to blame?
