I'll be picking it up for 360 after class today, and promptly sucking for several hours because I didn't buy 10 or even play it very much.

[Callisto]

I start work on the 23rd so I'll probably be picking up my copy early next month when I get my first check(plus as those who read spam know I got my face fucked in a car accident Friday and can only see properly out of one eye for a week or so), but yeah if others want to send me an invite for when I can start playing my PSN ID is 'Nalso'.

Down goes brown has a "review" of NHL 11 up. Best line so far is

The game includes an improved breakaway and shootout system that promises to completely revolutionize the way you randomly swing your stick back and forth before skating into the goalie without even getting a shot off.

Got my first "Jumbo pack" this evening on HUT for 7500 EA pucks - got Cam Ward. Fuck yeaaaahhh. Threw my biggest contract on him and all my goalie training cards and now these little euro jokes can't scratch me.

Yeah dude stuck his foot in his mouth big time with that. I can understand what he was saying but I'm not surprised people chose to see it the way they do.

On a completely unrelated note Kyle Wellwood got a training camp invite for the Coyotes. If Wellwood and BizNasty would somehow become best friends and post twitter pictures in bars hooking up with chicks it would be awesome. Make it happen universe.

Holy shit I got rated a 76 in NHL 11. Someone at EA games is getting canned. Let's get real. I'm a 60 on a good night.

[Callisto]

God the goal on kipper by Daniel is just ridiculous. I don't know how it is in other cities, but in Vancouver fans are notorious for being bandwagon jumpers. I am not one of them XD. Season needs to start.

Yeah, it must be a Vancouver thing. Other cities wait for their teams to win things before making the bandwagons.

Anyway I am liking NHL 11 for now but it's stupid how they judge 3stars lol

Won like 8-1 against the Bluejackets they had Garon for the 7 first goals then put mason which in 3rd period only get 1 goal on 20shots, they gave him first star ...

Ratapata you didnt do too bad for a beginner against me. It was 0-0 after 1 period and my first couple goals were on the PP and the 4th/5th were me just going into overdrive at the end cause I was pissed about that one shot not being counted as a goal lol That Adams goal for the 5th one was siiiiiiiick.

Advice wise, online, you ought to limit your body checks. There are times theyre appropriate but poke checks and stick lifts both are better for playing D with. I'd say I use 68% poke checks, 17% stick lifts, and 15% body checks. You were going all out trying to hit me and Ive played long enough to be able to skate through an entire team without passing against people doing that.

Hell yeah. "I needed something to rejuvenate me, maybe this is it." Looking forward to seeing him play this year. A pity that he's only the 2nd best 40 year old on the team.
