NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread – A WHOLE NOTHER PHASE TWENTY-ONE!

[Striiker]

I'm hitting the road until tomorrow late afternoon or evening, so if I come up before then, skip me and I'll get to it when we're settled.

Pick me up.

I’ll be the Del Griffith to your Neal Page.

I doubt he brought along a booster seat.

Did you see up there where Striiker referenced "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"? Since when has the child watched anything that wasn't on Youtube or didn't star Vin Diesel and/or that dunce Sean from Decatur, Alabama?

We start the day in the dire straits of having @Lord Defect's dumb ass on the clock. I just sighed out loud and then immediately farted. @Young Sandwich is on deck, Jojo is on the lido deck, and @BernieParent is on the lido afterdeck. Jojo said that he will be AFK until this afternoon or evening - we have entered that holiday period where people will be hither and yon doing various things and stuff and shit, and we are always patient during these days, so we may as well start with that patience today. If you have trouble being patient, just look to me for an example. I am your captain, and I'm always patient with everything, as you know, but what you don't know is the full extent of the patience it takes to be sitting here typing on this machine and correcting and re-typing every other word because the machine is a f***ing c*** and I am f***ing enraged and about to smash the c***, F***! #Leadership

I remembered recently that I never finished watching "The Pacific," so I watched the whole thing this week. I started it when it first came out, and it just didn't grip me. I wasn't as big a fan of "Band of Brothers" as most people, either. I don't usually talk about that because I haven't watched it in so long that I have forgotten the things that disappointed me - my usual problem - and I can't "defend" my position because of that. Just generally speaking, I didn't think it was up to HBO standards.

"The Pacific" isn't downright terrible, but the aspects of it which don't deal with combat are downright terrible. The casting was just ... I don't know what the hell they were thinking. I love the idea of going with unknowns in principle, but they cobbled together a crew of real hacks, including the turd from "Chicago P.D.," which blows my mind, and not in a good way (and this was before he even got the chance to practice acting in that terrible show). I also thought those parts of the script which deal with those more "mundane" aspects isn't up to snuff, but in the hands of these actors the words really land like lead zeppelins.

Having said that, the combat scenes are incredible. I just need more than that. I also need a new laptop. F***.

 

[Young Sandwich]

I'm feeling like a proud relative today. I got to watch my cousin get drafted in the MLS last night. Pretty f***ing cool family moment.

Also, I'm ready and raring to pick whenever His Defectiveness decides to eventually disgrace us with his presence.

Based on the title I thought it was a F&F prequel

I'm no longer raring, but I'm still ready.

It took two viewings of the pacific for me to enjoy it. I downright hated it the first time I watched it and stopped about episode 3.
Most of the show is too dark with the bs digital night scenes.
Second viewing I appreciated what they did but it’s miles behind band of brothers.
Generation kill is a close second to BoB if you haven’t seen it and have a war series itch to scratch.
I’m up??

 

[Striiker]

The biggest problem with The Pacific is that it isn’t Band of Brothers. I know they’re separate things but high expectations and comparisons are inevitable.

Specifically that you go from Band of Brothers, where there’s like a dozen awesome characters that you really care about, to The Pacific, where none of the characters were likable at all.

 

[Lord Defect]

while we at the Pufts we’re notified, we thought it was just a reciprocaltory quack and not a notificational quack.
We shall be taking for our wildcard pick, Robert E Howard. We gladly welcome the addition of Kull the Conqueror, Conan the Barbarian, and all of his other works and characters.
@Young Sandwich do you know the riddle of steel?

They weren't just unlikeable - they were badly written and acted - they were essentially lame cliches.

I did see "Generation Kill," and it's decent, but nothing really to write home about.

Great pick, dogshit spelling.

 

[Striiker]

I should probably watch it again because last time I did it right after finishing Band of Brothers, which is the worst possible way to do it.

But yeah, I remember struggling to get though it because if you’re not even the slightest bit invested in the characters why the hell would you care about the story?

Yep. It was a struggle.

 

[Lord Defect]

Yep. It was a struggle.

I watched it with olive drab tinted glasses, being a marine, so I could be bumping it up higher than it deserves based on that. Even then, it’s alright at best and does not deserve to be tossed into the watch once every two or so years category that BoB, GK, and deadwood are in.

The most gripping and intense war show I’ve ever watched was Cupcake Wars. Haunting stuff.

You also have to remember that you are very stupid.

Wait until my first Warzone stream

 

[Magua]

Wait until my first Warzone stream

You did 6 intel contracts, you’re camping with an RPK in a building in final circle with ghost before the first circle even closes. Your large backpack has 5 mortar strikes, 3 self-revives, 3 durable gas masks. And you scream into your mic after each kill.

That is the true horror of war(zone).

 

[Young Sandwich]

This deadline is still chapping my ass, but I needed a break anyway.

We've been hammering the sexy lore picks lately, so we're going to head in the other lore direction here and snag a pick that's about as fishy as it gets. We already own several freshwater fishing destinations, so we need to mix things up a bit and hit the salt. As many of you seasoned trout fisherman know, the salt is your winter getaway to help cure those seasonal depression blues when the rivers are running slushy with ice and the trout hunker down in the deep holes.

This place is as close to untouched as you can get on this earth. It's a remote island in the Indian Ocean that sets up perfectly for wade fishing the flats. It's known as the Giant Trevally (GT) capital of the world, which is a THICC gamefish that recently went viral for snatching birds off the surface of the water. They are so ferocious that a man once created a bird-shaped fly using a flip flop and got a GT to immediately eat it. When they hit your fly it looks like a bomb just dropped in the water before they take off with the power of a stampeding elephant. GT's are the apex predators here, but there is a smorgasbord of other gamefish species like bonefish, milkfish, permit, and triggerfish. All an absolute blast to catch on the flats.
