Only that there's a press conference :D WHere'd you see the Moginly signing? TSN.ca didn't seem to have it.

Brodeur, with Luongo and Hasek as backups would have a hard time winning in the Leafs/Flyers series last season :D

I've always been more impressed with the bumpmapping, increased polygon counts, and so on. I never play with FSAA, as I don't consider the "improvement" in image quality to be worth the hit. I'd much rather crank up pixelshading and ansiotropic filtering.

I doubt they could use Steam to distrubte Half-Life 2 to consoles. They need a publisher. And EA is huge.

We are both simulations Sarj!

I personally felt as though Joseph had already proven himself as a stellar goaltender in Edmonton. I wouldn't consider Joseph to be an average goaltender personally. I certainly wouldn't consider Belfour to be an average goaltender either.

I watched every Toronto game in the playoffs last year. And I actually have Game 5 vs Philly on tape, although I remembered the McCabe giveaway anyways. A quick scan through the tape showed me the other horrible breakdowns by Toronto's players. I don't blame Belfour when Philly was getting clean looks at every shot. Ottawa was getting the same looks but Eddie was on fire. I also don't think shutouts skew the result, at least not as much as 6 goals in 18. The guy stopped 37 shots in one game...that's phenomenal. And I don't consider them to be simple shots he stopped either. Belfour was absolutely standing on his head in the Ottawa series, and you're the first person I've seen that has said otherwise. A shutout can only skew a result if there's a ton of shots....but in that case the results aren't skewed at all. The 6 goals in 18 shots would do far more for his save percentage than the shutouts. I'm surrounded by Edmonton fans, who by default hate Toronto, and we were all impressed with Belfour's play, and wholeheartedly agreed with Cherry's statements. At many points Belfour was stopping 2nd and 3rd rebounds because his defense forgot how to secure a rebound and seal off opposing players, and still came up with the big stops. Toronto did not get eliminated from the playoffs by bad goaltending. They got eliminated because they just played bad period. I guess at this point we'll just agree to disagree.

He was average against Ottawa (in my opinion) and below average against Philadelphia. I remember Belfour having a couple of shut-outs in the Ottawa series, but he was also below .900 several times. Yes, he stopped 40+ shots one time, but he still lost the goalie match-up against Lalime in that game. Also, a great goalie is consistent and Belfour isn't. I disagree. In that game it was 44 saves to 27 in favour of Belfour. I also don't know how you can knock a guy for having "several" games below .900, when his save percentage for the series was .954. There was also the game where he notched 37 saves in a shutout. Toronto was hideously outshot that whole series. The team forgot how to play defense and Belfour totally bailed them out. There's a reason why Don Cherry made the comment that all the Toronto players should just give Belfour their playoff cheques in the middle of the series. Even then, he faced an average of 34 shots that series. Belfour pretty much single handedly stopped one of the most potent offenses (and powerplays) in the league. It was actually game 5, but whatever. Getting 11 shots would have more to do with being horribly outplayed. Giving up 13 shots in the first period to the Leafs 2 would likely set a tone. And don't forget McCabe's turnover to give Recchi the first goal of the game. Primeau also had a short-handed breakaway goal, in addition to another breakaway at the beginning of the second. I won't fault Belfour for giving up breakaway goals, two of which should never happen (McCabe's give away and the shorthanded breakaway). Toronto didn't get only 11 shots because of lack of faith in their goalie....they only got 11 shots because they stunk up the joint that game. They were just horribly outplayed the entire game. And they certainly shouldn't have had a lack of faith in their goalie prior to the game, given that he had the highest save percentage in the playoffs. Even with the 6 goals in 18 shots, he still had the highest save percentage in the league.

Those darned Rouges. I never did like Red ^_^

Maybe I'm just old school, but I don't find resolution to be that big of a problem past 1024x768. While in the middle of a game, I've never paused to notice "oh my, this game is all pixelly!" at anything other than 800x600 or less. Even then, I can tolerate 800x600. Maybe it's just because my monitor can't do 1600x1200 very well (only 60 Hz), so I have just never bothered. It probably doesn't hurt that I only have a 17" monitor as well, so those pixels are a little smaller.

You should tell her about Jacko's crusade. It'd be interesting to hear what her take on it is.

I think I saw a different one too...but I do not remember exactly. I don't want to be too big of a jerk

Oh noes....typoes! "I simply the concept as make-believe with rules." I assume it's supposed to be simplify? That's right...everyone's a critic...especially me!

I'd say the bump to '9' was the classic "reviewers tilt'

Expect a press release from FerdinAllan soon, pending the completion of the assload of work he has to get down in the next two days. Pray for me

It's working for me now too.

Map working for anyone else?

We wants it!

Fixed! Mr. Soap provides the typical masculine brute force approach to the project (the project being cleaning your filthy hide), while water provides the more feminine, softer yet essential approach. Mr. Soap AND Mr. Water? Hahahah what a dreamer

Custom poop is allowed. Very moddable poop too. Compared to DS, both have their decent moments while cooping.

Yup. I give it 5.9, for coop alone.

It's ok coop. But anything is coop. I played this game called stare at poop with a friend, and it was great. By itself, it's kinda bland.

I don't mind Belfour. In my opinion he's the sole reason why the Leafs even made it past Ottawa. Standing on his head stopping 40 shots per game is pretty impressive.

Maybe it's because they're like Russia and so "disadvantaged"

Whom have you received orders from? I've sent you mine a while ago, and hopefully you got them
