Well, here we are at another theme week, and it is much of the same. I saw someone post (might have been Spartan) that this theme was used back in 2020 and yet it feels like it was only a season or two ago. I don’t fault the blue team for trying to come up with new ways to engage the community, but I really think that recycling the same ideas is quite boring for veteran members. For me it would be better to constantly think outside the box. I recently asked Jardy a bunch of questions for his podcast, all of them fun, and none of them VHL related. I listened to his subsequent show and one of the things he mentioned a couple of times was that he would only claim the pod for one week because the questions were mostly non-VHL related, and I say fuck that. Just go on and claim for two weeks bro. Not every pod should be VHL centric, as the members of this community deserve to be highlighted just as much as their players. In my opinion it’s a fresh take each week to make things different, and it perks my interest far more than seeing who everyone’s dream team is. (209 words)

Previously on the Chronicles of Brandt Fuhr: Chapter 1 - On the Run Chapter 2 - Scouting an Alien (Reporter Walt Walters for MSPN) The incumbent starter for the Mexico City Kings, Brandt Fuhr, is a bit of an odd character – or at least that’s what his teammates believe. “Strange guy.” “Keeps to himself.” “Goalies are weird.” “Doesn’t talk too much.” “I catch him staring at me sometimes.” For us in the media, it's been the same experience as well. Recently I had the opportunity to interview Fuhr, and while I attempted to ask him hockey related questions all he did was talk about the audio and video equipment we were using. “What is that?” Fuhr asked me as he took hold of my microphone, “Is that a… what is that?” He repeated as he held it close to his eyes, and then inhaled a long breath through his nose as though he were sniffing the microphone itself, “This is a device!” He exclaimed, “Yes, a transducer that converts sound into an electrical signal. Fascinating-,” He suddenly looked at me intently before asking, “May I keep this?” I shook my head, “No, Brandt, that is our microphone.” “Ah yes,” he said, “I understand. This is your property.” “Well,” I corrected him, “I don’t personally own it, it’s the networks.” “Networks?” His interest piqued, “What are these networks you speak of?” “Just one network, MSPN,” I told him, “We cover the Mexico City sports.” “Interesting,” he responded, “What a meaningless job you have,” he said casually before he saw the look of horror in my eyes, “Oh, I’m sorry,” he was apologetic, “I did not mean to insult you. You don’t have a meaningless job,” he tried to reassure me, “Your life has a lot of meaning.” “Thank you,” I tried to shake it off, “So, Brandt, if we could continue- how do you feel about the season so far?” “What is that!?” He exclaimed as he pushed past me and took a hold of the camera that the camera man was holding in front of us, “it appears to be some kind of optical instrument that captures a visual image," He suddenly looked at the camera man intently before he asked, “May I keep this?”

- Well, I have to start off by saying just how much I love the new built-in trivia. I think it was a brilliant idea on incorporating it into the portal and I was happy to take advantage of it this week. I suppose another huge benefit will be its availability during the offseason which used to be when it dropped off. I just think it’s a great start to seeing some creative ways to accumulate more TPE, so well-done team. - I seem to be getting the lion’s share of the net when it comes to starting for Mexico and you won’t hear any complaints coming from me about it. Being a tender can be difficult because you won’t be involved with every sim and sometimes sharing the crease can be on the stressful side. I am also pleased to report that this hasn’t been an issue for me thus far and I don’t expect it to be one going forward. That being said I can’t help but wonder about my VHL future… where will I go? Will there be the same opportunity? (182 words)

Well, it’s the start of a new week and I am feeling much better. Good health is priceless and while I am not of perfect health, I’ll take what I have today compared to what I had yesterday… Things are good in my world. I’ve been drafted by Mexico, and I’m stuck with my build (did not realize that 200 TPA was the cut off) so it’s now a matter of sitting back and earning and watching how everything unfolds. I expect to be the starter this year, but I am very unsure of what the future will bring. I know that no matter where I end up, I will be happy. Just need to get this article up and posted and then I’ll be done my updates for the week, take notice newbies, this is how you do it. Get er’ done all on Monday so the rest of them can be Funday’s. Yeah, I said it, I am a Dad after all. (163 words)

''If the rule doesn't fit, you must acquit'' - #FreeRory
Rōnin replied to jRuutu's topic in Archived Media Spots
Review: Great media spot for a number of reasons. First off, it's hard to tell if JRuutu is being serious or doing what he does best and play Devil's advocate. I genuinely believe that any media that kicks up a fuss and gets lots of looks is a good one as it brings activity. The use of pictures and the graphic of the cheque are a nice touch, and if I was a real stickler I'd probably ask for some more bolding and italics in there but all in all this is some solid work from a true vet of the sim world. 9/10 -
Review: First off, gotta start with the fact that having Lindstrom as the render is kick ass. I just love the color choices you made, they work well with the Americans color scheme and the graphic just looks clean and beautiful. Solid choice and placement of font, and perfect size for a signature piece. The only complaint I have is this graphic is not of my player. I guess I'll have to find a way to convince you to create one for me one day. 9.5/10
