Had a great time in Bratislava but the VHLM moves quick and it was time to move on. I'm excited to see what I can do with Brampton; hopefully bringing home my third cup, in three seasons, for three different teams.

That's 100% what I should have done (and what I did on twitch) but I didn't so here we are haha. Admittedly I could make one now and just start at episode 37 but it might be weird.

Yes, keep praising me, ignore that I post these as unlisted so only the VHL will see them haha. Feel free to share them in any recruitment stuff you want but my (very few) normal subs would be very confused by what the fuck I'm talking about here so I choose to make these unlisted so You need a link to watch. Still, I enjoy the praise, maybe in the future I could make some kind of series in the same format that's more recruitment friendly and less things people won't understand.

Regular; specifically the White one that launched with Destiny. I've only ever had white controllers (until this scuf) to match it so maybe it's just a defect with the black ones haha. Whenever my PS4 does die (hopefully not soon) I will have to upgrade to a pro because I need the optical Audio for my headset and Surround Sound but oh well, hopefully that's a way in the future.

I do mostly BS my way through these, especially with the "defence wins" thing haha. Not only was I frustrated because of the paddle at that point but I'm generally very distracted. Doing podcasts with CoD makes them more fun but is definitely not ideal for train of thought haha. You are definitely right that you can win with a lesser goalie, you obviously proved that last season, and your forward group is basically untouchable. We're probably second in forward TPE and you still have us best by over 700. Mins you out defense and goalie have a lot more as well so it should be interesting to see how things play out. You proved me wrong once, let's see if you can do it again haha. As far as controller conversation goes: my regular ones are holding up relatively fine. The L2 button sticks sometimes on both of them which makes me constantly aim when I intend to stop which is annoying. I haven't had stick problems though.

Its a PS4 version but It's a scuf so it costs more is the problem since its custom made to have the paddles. Even a regular PS4 controller with tax is running $90 and up though which is insane.

I never said you wouldn't compete this season did I? In fact I believe I listed you as one of the 4 that should be competing. I do think the rookie goalie is a gamble but you guys definitely have a lot of forward star power. I bought it off kijiji so it's local but still used. He claims that it was fine before but he's obviously not going to tell me it was busted. There's definitely tiny cracks being held together by the bolts so I do wonder if it was just a matter of time. I think my pressure was a tad high since I'm not used to it yet which, combined with the cracks, caused it to break. I ordered some new paddles that should work better, at least I hope. I was saving $70 vs. Buying new and now that's down to $50 so I'm not pleased.

We're back with my discussion of random topics. IN this episode we talk about Lack of Competition this season, what the hell NY is doing with their goalie situation, and how I got drafted so early. During that we play some Infinite Warfare with my new controller that I proceed to break not even 5 minutes into my first match with it. So, enjoy my suffering! *For Sokolov

Some great Salmon in this one.

I don't know what you're talking about. In alternate business please meet me by the dockyard tonight. Completely unrelated.

Had the highest S%! It was still pathetically low but that's the way the ASG goes haha

In b4 the Royals become the Jr. Americans (somehow)

Back in IW for another CoDCast. Get my R3K one step closer to gold and answer questions from @The Bread Man, @Phil. and @Kendrick *For Holik

I officially petition to remove Kesler's ability to rename his account.

It's question time everybody! Lay 'em on me! @eaglesfan036 @Shaka @The Bread Man @R.I.P.

Even though I did barely anythingboth times it feels nice to get 2 cups in a row in the VHLM, especially since I had never had one before Sokolov. Hopefully I can transfer some of his luck to the VHL when the time comes. For now I'm going to enjoy this though and maybe aim to get that 3-peat.

I give it a month. But seriously, great member, sad to see you go. Not sure we ever got on a team together which is rather unfortunate. Then again I'm usually wrong about those things so what do I know. Also, thanks for making me feel old. As if I needed to know yet another person younger than me on this board that has gotten further up the ladder haha

Blaming my phone keyboard for that one, was going for 3. as for the NY FA, that ones on me. Could have sworn they got more.

Realistically if this were to happen I would think taking out the teams that were expanded (thus Cologne and Quebec) would make the most sense for the league history. With that said I don't love it. The points you make are relatively valid and while I think it would be fun to have true Dynasties in the league I can't see it happening. It's kinda the nature of things in a sim league. In the NHL you can have rookies come in and play really well but here that's almost impossible so unless you perfectly space out our team ages a dynasty longer than 5-6 seasons is a real challenge. I think the Toronto 4-peat (and another finals appearance after) is about the longest that's realistic. I'm not sure the issue surrounding league parity is as much a problem with the amount of teams and more a problem with how Free Agency often goes. There's nothing wrong with getting a large pile of free agents onto one team, it can certainly be fun if you're one of them, but overall it's going to hurt the parity of the league. If NY had only gotten half its Free Agents and the rest had been split up it likely would have increased parity in the league. I think we have enough players that 10 teams can be sustainable, at least under the old model. With that said, if it was the goal to try and create dynasties (which would create further problems with free agency IMO) then I'll admit that it might be challenging without dropping back to 8.

Well sometimes you need to do things you dislike if you want to please others

I don't hate them, I just don't love them either. I would vastly prefer Weezer to whatever you were playing before. Until you have some classic rock or heavy metal in there you won't truly please me.

You failed in picking a song I LIKE but you did at least success in picking a song I don't completely HATE so you're on the right track. That is my only comment for the moment, we'll see if I listen to the rest later.

Man you really loaded up the RAVE in Ravenwing. Overall I like the effect although it might be a tad bit overdone. It’s definitely not bad at all just very strong. I think some stronger lighting and contrast would have helped a lot. Usually you want to have the contrast really on point before messing with the colours a lot. It does look pretty decent though. Text is decent and whatever those little blocks are look decent.
