OT: Avatars, the real story.

[SOLR]

I have always been a big fan of of science fiction, specifically the more grungy and dirty cyberpunk sub genre of sci-fi. Growing up I was always on the poorer side of society, despite this my parents always made sure to spoil me with the latest toys and gadgets that every kid could ever want. I guess I was so drawn to that kind of genre because I myself always felt like somewhat of a "high tech low life".

I was always drawn to works like neuromancer, altered carbon, blade runner etc, and when I stumbled onto Josan Gozalez's art book "The Future is Now" , it immediately stuck with me as well. I thought an avatar from that art book was appropriate at the time because Bergevin had just came in and we were supposed to be ushering in a new age with a new youth movement, thus "The Future of the Habs is Now".

Obviously that wasn't the case looking back, but that artbook is still a masterpiece in my mind and I haven't found anything yet that would make me want to change it.

Thanks for asking

Its awesome art, love it.

Magic like you won't see anymore. I remember once Tremblay was carrying the puck in his zone, left of the goalie going behind the goal. Toronto Toro's coach pointed Tremblay to his goon (I was maybe the tenth row behind the visitor's bench) and got him on the ice. A Toro's big guy (Wayne Carleton) was chasing Tremblay from the left of the goal, forcing him to go to the right, toward Toro's bench. He was skating along the board when he fumbled the puck: the guy behind him accelerated to full speed to hit him with maximum impact while the goon coming from the bench was in all out mode. Tremblay had his head down trying to retrieve the puck while those two trains were closing on him. Just before the impact, he got control of the puck, flipped it over his shoulder, reversed his stick behind is back, caught the puck waist high behind him on his blade and took one step back while those two Toro's collided witless.

They were still down when he was crossing the Toro's blue line on a five against three. That's magic you won't see anymore.

Very very underrated player. He was excellent

My guess would probably be Jagr. I feel like he's had it since birth.

Just don't change it too often.

I am not a very big contributor to this forum, especially in relation to thought-provoking and intellectual discussions. My head thinks stupid, at times immature and offensive, and my post history is a result of this.

But this forum's purpose is somewhat of an escape from reality for me. And most posters are like VR colleagues to me, although we don't know eachother and don't post to each other or on each other's messages.

Seeing an @OldCraig71, or an @Ozymandias, or a @Lshap, or a @Belial, or a @Runner77 leave this forum due to forum-related reasons... To me, no reason, or feud should hold enough weight to cause that to happen.

Mostly every poster adds a little something to this forum. I cherish and respect that. And it would honestly pain me to see more posters leave. I miss some who have left or have been banned, and the experience isn't the same.

All of this to say, much love to you all. We're all humans nearing death every ticking second, on some strange but precious planet, travelling through some wacko Universe. We move our fingers and feel emotions based on another person's finger movements. That's f***ing weirdly awesome.

Love you guys and gals, don't leave for good.

My avatar has been my face throughout most of my existence. Smiling, dumbfounded by the absurdity of it all.
