  1. That's basically what happened (and what's about to occur in ~30 minutes).
  2. Content: 3/3 - Long, detailed article about Tukio and his Hall of Fame career. It was interesting to find that he got so close so many times, but only won the cup once. Sounds similar to my first-gen (without the cup ) ~2450. Grammar: 2/2 - Good for the length, but I did find some up and coming = up-and-coming (marginal) (2x) was only one thing on the Titans mind = was only one thing on the Titans' minds. (marginal I guess) Hall of Fame defensemen Ryan Sullivan = Hall of Fame defenseman Ryan Sullivan the Cologne Express fell to the Titans in 6 games as Helsinki moved onto the finals to face Quebec = the Cologne Express fell to the Titans in 6 games and Helsinki moved onto the finals to face Quebec (marginal) Unfortunately the combination of Quebec’s newly acquired offensive strength, in combination with goaltender Skylar Rift = Unfortunately the combination of Quebec's newly acquired offensive strength and goaltender Skylar Rift (that's a lot of combinations) the off-season took a toll = the off-season took a toll on the Titans (took a toll on who?) leaving Quebec questioning it’s future = leaving Quebec questioning its future. Appearance: 1/1 - obvi 6/6.
  3. Content: 2.75/3 - Fun, quick interview between some smoke show and your baller player. Kept me interested the entire time by shedding light on your success this season, competition with teammates and the Royals. The piece ended incredibly quickly though (almost a screeching halt), try stretching out the conversation a little more next time. ~563. Grammar: 2/2 - Nice job man. to get use the league = to get used to the league my game and it's = my game, it's been (run-on sentence, marginal) head to head = head-to-head (marginal) Llyod = Lloyd (I think ) Appearance: 1/1 - Hot chick and USA colors, it could have been 1.5/1. 5.75/6
  4. Content: 2.75/3 - Nice article about the top mascots in the VHLM European Conference. Clearly a unique and fun piece that I may have learned a little about some cultures during the process, even if it wasn't true Adding an introduction and/or a conclusion in the future would be a nice, easy way to score some extra words and help the audience understand what you are analyzing. ~465. Grammar: 2/2 - Well done. most bland = blandest (marginal) Brataslava's = Bratislava's Brutus IX doesn't do much nowadays but he = Brutus IX doesn't do much nowadays, but he (marginal) Appearance: 1/1 - Good work with the pictures and formatting. 5.75/6
  5. Content: 2.5/3 - Nice little bit about the Royals and how their three major players have fared thus far. You provided a good description on when these players were selected, what they have worked over the past season, and their contributions to the Royals this season. I would work on breaking sentences up a little bit, as you had a lot of run-ons throughout this. When you are done with a thought, it is good practice to end a sentence or at least a comma to indicate you are heading in a different direction. 574 words. Grammar: 1.75/2 - Some of this was tough to read, nothing horrible though. after the two teams loaded up on 3 1st round picks in the Dispersal Draft each. = after the two teams each loaded up on three 1st round picks in the dispersal draft. She has vastly improved her game from last season and quickly became an integral part = She has vastly improved her game from last season and is now an integral part score 14 goals for 52 points which = score 14 goals and 52 points hits(126) = hits (126) shots(85) = shots (85) Selected as an alternate captain at the start of the season Hill has been leading = Selected as an alternate captain at the start of the season, Hill has been leading played all of the season = played the entire season (not really wrong, just sounds funny) Appearance: 1/1 - The logos and font types looked nice. Next time, add a few pictures to spice it up a bit. Overall, great start! 5.25/6
  6. Not to mention the year Xbox and the lesser known Gamecube came out.
  7. Plus I need somewhere to go spam once Zamora retires
  8. So us moderators can talk about moderating.
  9. Complaint/Suggestion solved! Thanks BOOM.
  10. Californication is FINALLY on Netflix, so I enjoyed that again. Also... Any 30 for 30, Trailer Park Boys, The League, Parts Unknown (Anthony Bourdain is a fucking boss), Archer Some documentaries I enjoyed: Battered Bastards of Baseball, Schooled, Downloaded, Particle Fever, Something Ventured And obviously, House of Cards. But only when I'm sober.
  11. No issue with Bose, I had a pair of overhead Bose headphones for 5-6 years, they worked really well for that time span. I might look into it.
  12. I'm all about dat bass no treble
  13. "Break the bank" can be quantified as >$100
  14. Looking to purchase a good pair of in-ear phones that won't break the bank. I have done some research but haven't come to a conclusion yet. My last pair was from Klipsch and I really like their products. Any ideas? NO, I WILL NOT BUY SKULLCANDY. <3
  15. I've actually been thinking about this most of the afternoon. Suggestion/Complaint: Time it takes to grade point tasks Overwhelming result: A lull in an otherwise very strong department of the VHL. *Gavin Citrus Cheers*
  16. Right on. My only real thought about that in regards to the reduced amount of grades per TPE (at least writing-related) is that wouldn't you want there to always be more grading capacity than actual available grades? That way there's always a need to grade prior to others, otherwise you'd be shit out of luck to get your weekly compensation. It would seem that in order to facilitate that with 4 grades per TPE, you'd need a lot more graders.
  17. I can't speak to how the graders' compensation works now, but I am pretty sure the terms are much softer than they used to be... Why it was reduced I couldn't tell you. IIFC it was 10 GFX/ 8 MS / 5 RP or BIO.
  18. I applied however I was placed on the wait list </3
