21 is insane, it makes no sense really. Having it that high is just going to make more people drink underage. Like, seriously, you will be basically done college before you can legally drink. But yeah, Bud of any kind is shit and generic American beer is especially shit.

All my monitors (2 at home and 2 at work) run at 1080 and I don't have the sure button on any of them. This is also regardless of what skin I'm using.

*blinks* is it... Is it over? Im going to have puck based PTSD after this.

Nope, haven't had it in awhile. Maybe because I'm using the "broken" default skin to get around the ad on mobile issue?

We still review things for feedback but no formal grading, no.

You wanna go find these re-sims? I certainly don't recall it being a frequent occurrence and certainly not for some messed up lines. Sure it was the VHLM but I played over a third of the season with over 100 TPE less than I was supposed to have; didn't see me whining for re-sims. Also, your lines were fine in the other game and you still lost so at best this is a 1 game glitch and there's no real proof you would have done any better based on the other one. Your PP lines were fine and you were still scored on; have an excuse for that too?

I meant fix the lines. As Draper said, re-simming wouldn't be fair to the other teams involved. If the sim engine worked in a way that you could just re-sim certain games it wouldn't be that big of a deal to do but you have to recognize that while it's a pain for you A BIT it's not a major thing which a re-sim could be for other teams. In 48 full seasons I could probably count on one hand the amount of times the VHL has re-summer anything and they were all for things WAY larger than this. Fact is, this was a minor thing that should just be left as is. It was a random glitch, nothing more. 2 games aren't going to put you out of the playoffs and aren't going to put Quebec in.

Mistakes happen. This is the VHL, things don't get re-simmed here; especially over petty and minor stuff. Let Jardy fix it and move on.

Ah, damn haha. I’ve always wondered but never understood how to make that 3D bezel

Who made the logo? I've always wanted to make letters like that but can't.

Going to start off with honesty: Not your best work by far. I see what I think you were going for, kinda a wall plaque kind of idea. I actually think the effects you used on the white look really good to that end (if it's not what you were going for then...surprise?) but as a sig in general I find this lacking. It's creative for sure but I need to see some effects or something if you're going to go stockless; sadly I really don't. I see a few gradients and a render. No effects, no lighting, no anything. I like the idea but I'm not big on the execution unfortunately.

Don't beat yourself up; we all started somewhere. Being here helps a lot in all honesty. For this sig, the effects are very grungy which I think fits the theme and the text nicely; I like that. Lighting could be a bit more contrasty to really bring out the raw power of the render. I also find the text being plain white makes it stand out too much. You never want the eye to go to text before the render (unless it's very intentional, this doesn't feel that way). The lighting I mentioned would help a lot with that. I also find, especially given the effects used, that this piece is a tad over-sharp. Not too bad but something to watch out for.

Whoa, acid trip sig. I like the use of colour but I think it might be just a TAD strong on the render. What's odd is I wouldn't find that if it wasn't for that lens flare. The lens flare isn't effected by the acid trip the same way the rest of the sig is so I feel like it stands out more than everything. Either remove the flare or tone down the effect on the render and it would bring the focus back. Blending and effects are great; text fits very well. nice job.

Love the effects, love the blending, lighting looks on point. I do agree that the text is holding this back a bit. I find it stands out a lot (especially compered to how blended everything else is) and the subtext is a little hard to read. Might have been better off with a subtle duplicate instead of the full stroke and I agree that the subtext stroke is hard to read. If you wee to keep the text like this I would lower it down and have it overlap the render a lot more so its less distracting.

Damn you, I've won 5 damn games this season, just let me feel good about something.

Man, imagine how I could play if I wasn't facing 50 shots a game haha. Clearly @solas was holding me back

With leagues looking to get their core members before an inaugural draft or something that makes perfect sense and is really helpful. With the VHL having run nearly 50 seasons we find its better to have people create something they will have fun with. For example, the league could desperately need defensemen but I'm still not likely to create one because I know that, for me, that position would be boring. When the sim leagues are boring they are more of a chore which no one wants. Generally speaking teams need strong defensive D-Men (so lot of guys use offensive builds even on defensemen) and playmakers. This does vary per team and per season but if you really want to base a player off need those are the ones I've noticed are generally lacking.
