GDT: Game 82: Sharks vs. Oilers 7:30pm NBCSCA

[Star Platinum]

Onegiev.

And to Emberson too. Which is weird because I distinctly remember expert scouts talking about how he was a trash player.

They were right. Georgiev is trash.

 

[Star Platinum]

He understands his job. Or he doesn't understand it at all, but doesn't care. Either way it's ideal.

Someone forgot to tell him we clinched the worst record already

 

[Pinkfloyd]

We should find something to do as a group to fill the collective doldrums of the next 5 months or so.

In keeping with the spirit of the season, maybe we should do HFSJ movie club, except we'll only watch terrible movies. And not like... fun terrible movies. Just straight up bad movies that'll test your will to live.

This is a great idea as long as I pass the test.

 

[Star Platinum]

Tomorrow: Sharks sign Georgiev to a 6-year contract with a full NMC.

 

[Star Platinum]

Derplandrea.

I wish I could say with confidence this would be his last game for us, but at least the Dumb Penalty of the Game sponsor raised another $50 for Adults With Compulsive Behavior

 

[karltonian]

this third line looks competent

 

[Star Platinum]

If nothing else, he has to do something about his hair this offseason.

 

[timorous me]

this third line looks competent

For one night only!

tonight in "Nem's adventuers in an ancient game" I headed to one of the original home cities in Everquest, which I was quite familiar with because I usually relocated my characters there: Qeynos. It's a silly name built on a bad sorta-pun because the original development studio was owned at the time by Sony. So it's "Sony EQ" backwards.

Anyway, in this human city the guild hall for clerics and paladins is a UFO. I'm not even just making a pithy comment. Look at the damn thing:



That blue thing to the right is the teleporter to head inside.



See? UFO.

The place is quite ancient looking, graphics-wise because the developers have not updated some of the game's oldest areas from how they were made in 99/2000 when it launched.

Why is it a UFO? No idea. It just is because it's weird and fun.


Earlier I joked about finding some silly diversions to get us through the off-season as a group, but this got me thinking: I doubt there's much appetite but I would love to get a group of people to take a spin playing a 25 year old MMO for a while with me. It's totally free to play if you don't mind a couple of annoying quirks and some restrictions that will almost certainly not significantly impact new players.

Like I said, I doubt there's any interest given that these janky, early 2000s looking screenshots are a huge selling point and most old school MMOs are a dying breed, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Taking your foot off the gas before the very end is for quitters. He's going to ride this dumpster right into the wall at the end like a real competitor.

 

[TheBeard]

Yeah, I just can’t. This game is awful.

See y’all in the offseason threads.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Honestly keep talking to Couture. The goals don't matter. That's like the most disinterested goal call I've ever heard Randy give.

 

[The Nemesis]

Twogiev.

Halfway through the game we're halfway there.

 

[The Nemesis]

Honestly keep talking to Couture. The goals don't matter. That's like the most disinterested goal call I've ever heard Randy give.

[The Nemesis]

multi-point game for noted Shark-killer Ty Emberson.

Is it too late to get him back?

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Brought to you by Tahoe Blue Vodka.

Watching this game, I feel like I need some Vodka pretty soon.

 

[The Nemesis]

Watching this game, I feel like I need some Vodka pretty soon.

That was the idea behind the sponsorship. So it's working!

 

[karltonian]

what a great interview with randy and logan

 

[Shut Yer Five Hole]

I think I'd head up the stairs for Dippin Dots and just keep walking

 

[The Nemesis]

If they just turned the arena lights off at the end of this period and sent everyone home, do you think people would notice?

 

[Friday]

Really going to give us 0 goals tonight

 

[bluefunnel]

That would have been nice.

 

[karltonian]

damn so close

 

[The Nemesis]

Not quick enough, Will. Andyou know what they say: If you're not first, you're secondary.

 

[hohosaregood]

just gotta say, griersy has excellent skin.
