Beketov

Effects and stock work are solid. I agree that the bottom right needs something. The negative space is fine by me but it's just a straight line to black which looks off. I'd also like to see some stronger lighting on that render to really make it pop. Overall though it's a very well made piece.

I'm pretty much in agreement with Muffins on this. Kill the top light source as all the light in the piece can easily be provided by the lens flare (which looks stellar). I also agree that a JC might have helped although I can't complain too much since I never do them. Cool idea with the star on the map of quebec and the little bits of lens dirt really look good. Solid work.

So, my wife got a new job which is great BUT it also means she has weekends off which means cutting into my CoD time. That's fine but it does mean that CoDCasts will need to be recorded Tuesday nights instead. That means I need questions ASAP so lay them on me! @eaglesfan036 @Shaka @ADwyer87 @boom @der meister @Victor @YEAH!stlemania @Phil @tfong @ChrisF @George Costanza @Molholt @Mr. Power @Draper @Banackock @gorlab @JardyB10 @evrydayimbyfuglien @Jericho @DollarAndADream @Kendrick

I think with that background a nice clean sig could have been very possible but the pieces aren't quite there to give it that punch that a clean piece needs. As muffins said the text colour stands out far too much against the BG. That could work if the text were pushed right up over the render as it would supply a nice pop but with it's position it causes a distraction. I do like the effects in the BG but I think a little more in the blending and lighting department could have really made this pop.

My main issue is the subtext, mostly that I can't really figure out what it says at all. Aside from that the effects are pretty cool but might give it a bit of a monotone feel. Lighting also kinda feels like it's coming from everywhere. This isn't to sound too critical though because I think it's actually a pretty strong piece.

Best time to give a team a second chance if you ask me. No one should let past mistakes impact their current decisions. Things happened and it's unfortunate but the Bears are a strong team that just needs that little push to get over the hump. Having been at at the helm of Cologne for so long I'm sure you can respect that struggle.

I think I kinda went a little crazy with this one, oh well; that's what happens when I don't have my usual setup or stocks. *For Sokolov

I finally got a founders cup! It just took siningnsith a stacked team and doing nothing the whole time!

So we've played together twice and have 2 cups? Hmmm... seems like a good indicator to me?

1 more! Let's finish strong guys, I don't want this to go to 7.

Right you are sir historian. I'm also pretty sure we were in Calgary together in S3. Either way it's been awhile.

You come back and we could be. That's sorta the issue with Seattle right now. Everyone wants to go to a contender and we aren't one but we easily could be if a few people gave us a shot. Plus, have we ever played together in all these years? We must have but I don't remember it.

To be fair I'm not counting VHLM in my total. I have another 4 if I count those. 3 of which came from Beketov's VHLM season. That's kinda the other crazy thing, of my 7 awards total, 5 were with Beketov. Also a fun fact, I won top scorer, MVP, and top goal scorer with Beketov but not most assists, even though that's what he's known for in the VHL. Fun fact of the day.

Worth a shot. Considering my last one was 22 seasons ago and, even at that, was the lowest top scorer ever I think I need to change something. Hell, fucking DT is beating me; this is just unacceptable. I will say that I think I could have managed a few with Miller if it hadn't of been for Koenig and O'Malley winning every award in existence while he was playing.

I haven't had an individual award since S29; I'm due for one eventually. You just wait

I swear with goalies the engine just picks who it likes. Attribute wise I'm 1 OVR lower than @Victor and 1 higher than @JardyB10 but I played worse all year. I think after a certain point with goalies it comes down to quality of shots against. Better teams end up with worse shots coming at their goalie which means easier saves. That's my theory anyway because, like I said, the engine seems to pick at random otherwise.

Why you gotta drag me into this. I don't like to exactly spread around how terrible I've been for 51 seasons. People think I'm good because I've been here so long, no need to correct them haha

This topic still makes me sad 51 seasons; 8 players; 3 awards

I've only won 6 cups in 51 seasons; no idea how many finals appearance. In there I also had a drought of 15 seasons between White winning in S29 and Miller winning in S44. While some of those seasons were spent in the VHLM obviously (two seasons with Checkhov and 1 with Miller I believe) I can still say that in the span of my longest cup drought you got 7 cups. So yeah, fuck you.

Just as long as you don't reign up any bad ideas. Okay, I'm done now.

We always have many shits about you. We just weren't allowed to express them, pesky rules.

Oh I'll fully admit when I suck when I should be losing a gunfight. What bothers me is I can have a 5.0 K/D in one game and then a 0.5 in the next. Every CoD near launch has the same connection issues, it'll get fixed. It's just frustrating right now to put 6 shots into someone and then get dropped by 1 and see him lag jumping across the killcam.

Sorry about processing. Answered questions from @Kendrick, @gorlab, and @evrydayimbyfuglien *For Holik

Seattle IMO.

Just trying to keep it interesting.
