  1. Review: Oh look, if it isn't another MASTERPIECE from Kaleeb. The red and grey in the background blend super nicely, including the colors draining across the jersey/logo from time to time. The fading and streaks in the background add on top of the neatness of the graphic. I would recommend maybe do more with the wording and if you can, contrast the lighting a bit more, but this is still amazing work! 10/10!

    Review: This is a primary example of how effects can improve a graphic even without a logo/color swap. The effects improve depth and also help really shape the colors instead of it just appearing normally. I think a little bit more could've been done in terms of contrast, but overall, great work! 9/10!
  3. 1) It really begs the question, what were you doing all week? 2) Well if I was answering this a week ago I would've said I would party but that wouldn't age well. 3) I think we performed solidly but could've done better 4) Surprisingly, there's nobody I recognize here. 5) I've always been a fan of Potato Chips or Pretzels. Even Salted Cashews are amazing although expensive 6) The Golden Boy at the top of Manitoba's legislative building. Really overlooked landmark.
  4. Congrats @diamond_ace ! Wishing nothing but the best!
  5. Glad to see new faces taking the wheel as GMs! Congrats to all of you, @ThatsGreissy @Horcrux @Thunderidge @FireballSalad @Alexandre!
  6. We need to do more to make our female members more comfortable as a part of the league moving forward. It sickens me to hear things like this still going on. I was initially surprised as to why so many female members end up leaving the league or not joining, but it has become clear to me now that this is the reason why. We need a way to deal with this problem and improve the culture across the entire league. Thank you @Brewins15 for having the courage and bringing this forward as well as all of the other female members who can now speak openly for the change they want and the change we need to provide for them.
  7. Review: There's a lot to like about this article. The word choice is amazing and meshes really well with the details. The quotation, mixed with the way the writing looks ahead is impeccable. Overall, really well done! 10/10!
  8. Review: Wow. This is a really well written article. It's great at recapping both games without being overly detailed or too vague (for a .com article). I love the perspective you take based on stats. Over all, great article! 9.5/10
  9. 1. That's a tough one. Probably a realistic looking Eminem costume 2. We just gotta keep playing our game and we'll be successful. 3. Minnesota Storm 4. Gary Tarantino II 5. Just because 6. We're definitely ready. We've been the hottest team over the last little while.
  10. Even as a GM with a really good team this season, I completely agree here. Obviously every GM wants their team to go all the way but at the same time, the user experience is just as important. We've had teams in previous seasons that had only 1-2 players and its tough to sign newer players with the division amongst teams. Usually 3-4 teams run away with the top spots (in our case, Yukon, Ottawa, Minnesota), a few teams struggle all season long (Mississauga, Saskatoon), and a lot of teams are stuck in between (San Diego, Mexico, Miami, Vegas, Philly, Halifax, Houston). I think with some balance, not only would the M be more competitive than ever before, but the user experience would be greatly improved. Of course, this isn't an easy work around as new rules would need discussion from a lot of parties, but I think this article brought that to light and the point used give us a platform to work from. Very well written article, @Horcrux!

    Love to see it! Congrats @Moon_50!
  12. Review: This is beyond flawless. The writing and word choice is amazing, and the summarization of each game is in the perfect zone between being too long and too short while retain a lot of the details. Really no critiques here, well done! 10/10!
  13. Review: The spot is really well written. I like the attention to detail and the personality that Nasherov takes on. I would probably suggest maybe having shorter answers with more questions, just my personal preference when referencing a lot of stats. Other than that, really well done! 10/10!
  14. 1. I think we can go all the way. 2. Triple Trouble. 3. Hopefully? I haven't been yet but one day I will go. 4. Bringing him in will help us moving forward and he has seemed really comfortable so far. 5. Canada 6. Not directly but yes.
