If it comes down to it, I think I'd be backup to either Mike or Chris for Mercenaries. I'd honestly rather be in your thing and get some playing time.

Martin Brookside: An Improbable Tale It’s been an improbable road for Martin Brookside to get to this stage in his professional hockey career. Born in England, Brookside’s most often seen sport growing up was soccer. Even his version of hockey was more often field hockey than ice hockey. Ice hockey simply isn’t that popular in England. It’s a bit of a convoluted story how Brookside even got into hockey in the first place, and perhaps it’s better saved for a later point in his career when a biographer will delve into his life. For now, it’s simplest merely to start with when he did get into hockey, which was his junior year of high school. Brookside grew up playing soccer goalie, he was fairly good but would never become a professional. That was obvious from the beginning. He never quite got the diving down since the net was so large. He was, however, always able to get a hand on the shots that were within a body-length of him, even if his momentum was taking him the other way. No one quite managed to put two and two together until the day his family decided to take a vacation to Montreal, Canada. During this trip, Brookside went to an Impact match and was very entertained, but it was at a Habs game that he found his true calling. It was the Habs against the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins, in a game the Penguins won, 2-1 in overtime. Then-goalie Tom Barrasso put on a phenomenal performance for the Penguins and Brookside was hooked. He decided to take hockey lessons and as soon as he was old enough, he moved to Canada and tried out for a junior team, the London Knights of the OHL. Barrasso, Brookside's idol, in the game that changed the young goalie's life. With the Knights, he started as the backup goalie and played only seven games his first year, going 4-3 with a .903 save percentage and a 3.14 goals against average. Once they worked on more of his development, he quickly began to gain skill and by the next season he surpassed the previous starter and took over the starting job. He soon boosted his numbers, and held a .915 save percentage the following season in a total of 64 games, as well as a 2.42 goals against average. He only ended up playing one additional season for the Knights and was phenomenal, with a .931 save percentage and a 1.84 goals against average in 68 games. At this point, it was assumed Brookside was ready for the NHL draft, but instead he chose to go a different route. As he’d already been somewhat accustomed to travel, having lived first in England then in Canada, he decided to choose a league that would allow him a greater amount of travel. What better than a league whose teams are as diverse as Latvia, Finland, Switzerland, and the like? For this reason primarily, Brookside decided to skip the NHL in favor of the VHL. Brookside suits up for the Bratislava Watchmen of the VHLM. To this point, it seems like a sound decision. Brookside played reasonably well his first season in the VHLM, developed before the following season and played phenomenally in his second VHLM season. In fact, he ended up with several top stats, breaking top ten lists all time in the VHLM in several categories and winning three awards. In what is now his rookie season in the VHL, Brookside is playing rather well for a player so early in his development. Despite a 4.09 goals against average (a product of his team primarily), he’s put up a .921 save percentage in 45 games. Fellow Calgary goalie Rock Star has been given a good chunk of the starts and has also done fairly well considering the state of the team, but Brookside has already been the better of the two despite how early he is in his career. Brookside will be an interesting player to follow for the remainder of his career, and it remains to be seen how he’ll fare behind a better team.

Cats and dogs are both inferior. BUNNIES are the all great and powerful. (although to be fair, my sister's cat, Tonks, is pretty good. One side of her face is brown, the other is black, with a line down the middle. She looks like Harvey Dent. Also, she has Polydactyly, with the extra fingers on each hand)

Am I still your favorite? Who was the best draft pick to go after a Pass? Does Marcellin ever get into the HOF? If not, do I ever create a HOF-worthy player, or am I stuck pushing for Builder?

While I get your point, Trifecta, you've been in how many other leagues? Of those, how many have posted trade deadlines in multiple time zones? Maybe 1 or 2, if people were being overly considerate to everything imaginable. The vast majority of other leagues, including dozens of ones you've been in, have posted their important league times in one time zone. I've never seen you complain about any of these other leagues doing exactly the thing you have such a problem with here. Granted, that's probably because those other leagues posted in only EST, but that just goes to show you're fine with something that affects others but suddenly opposed to it when it affects you.

If it's a TV show, and if you want to pass off a comparison to a movie (Django Unchained) as valid, then the thread should go to the off-topic section. It is in fact fake, you know it as well as everyone else, and if you are still entertained, that's great. I'm entertained by other fake shows, GOT for example. You don't see me going around calling GOT a sport, or talking about it in the "Other Sports" section. The GOT thread is where? Off-topic. If wrestling is to be considered a TV show, then sure, its fakeness is to be expected as with other scripted entertainment, but that qualifies it for off-topic. If it's supposed to be considered a sport, then being fake and scripted is a valid complaint, no matter how many times you hear it.

This part, I'll agree with. He's still a gamer even if he doesn't know the industry, I don't know the industry either. He does, however, fit perfectly into the far-too-large and far-too-annoying niche of gamers who worship the COD and all its incarnations. Still doesn't mean he's not a gamer. Also, my post was more in reference to Devise's post than anything you've said against him, I've generally been in agreement with you although my gaming preferences aren't generally the stuff of this thread.

Do you play a video game? Have you played a video game ever? Congratulations, you're a gamer. Maybe not an "elite" gamer, or a "geeky hardcore" gamer, but still a gamer. People who drive a car periodically and don't know the ins and outs are still considered drivers. People who drink periodically and don't know or care about the newest microbrews are still considered drinkers. People who run a race here and there for nothing more than their own entertainment are still considered runners. You get my point. By definition, a gamer is someone who plays games. Simply that, and nothing more.
