  1. So i have a comic book question, im looking to start reading comic books and im curious if all the major events in the Marvel comics like Civil War and House Of M etc are easy to get your hands on or if they are lots of money now since they have been out for awhile? I don't know anything about Comic Books but i would really like to read some of the best ones, same with some of the popular Batman Comics, but like i said i don't know if i can just go to a comic book store and buy these or if they are hard to come by and lots of money now? Anyone have any advice?

    EA doesn't bother with iihf liscensing so no iihf tournaments, no world championships, no world juniors, and worst of all, no spengler cup.

    I hate that such a pain in the ass

  3. I really like NHL 16 but i hate be a GM mode it's so unrealistic, also on be a pro why can't i go to World Juniors? when im in the NHL why isn't there worlds if your team doesn't make the play offs? why can't i resign players during the season? Why doesn't a player having a career year get a boast in trade value? I don't care if he is 35 if a guy has his best year people are going to look at him. I could go on forever

    I didn't see a topic for this so....

     

    I used to buy the EA NHL games on the day of release every year - until I played last years game on the PS4. Something about it just wasn't appealing - especially in the menus when trying to play my favourite mode, Be A GM. 

     

    I heard this year's version is better, so I picked it up a few days ago. And it is better - the menus are more responsive and less of a pain in the ass to navigate. The actual game play is pretty fun too. Very smooth. I feel like I can score in a ton of different ways. Sniping it off the rush, deking around the goaltender, one timers, point shots. It's not a frustrating experience like last year - it's just fun.

     

    The real reason for starting this thread is...I want to talk about my GM mode as the Leafs. I attempted to tank hard - the Jets took Bernier for a first, and I was able to unload a ton of guys and wound up with 4 first round picks and 4 second round picks, plus a bunch more later on. The team was pretty thin beyond, especially in goal with only Reimer and Garrett Sparks. I thought I had orchestrated the perfect tank job.

     

    The hockey gods laughed at this thought.

     

    Instead, despite not having a player score more then 21 goals or more then 60 points on the roster, the 2015/16 Toronto Maple Leafs would go on to win the division and only fall out of the playoff in the second round. The teams who had traded their picks away to the Leafs also finished strong - so despite having four picks in the first round, the earliest pick I had was 15th overall. I was not pleased.

     

    When it was time for the draft, I knew that I needed to add an impact player. Edmonton was 1st overall (again?!), but willing to deal. I was able to package two picks in the first round plus a prospect to get the top pick - and with that, drafted Auston Matthews. My remaining picks were late in the first round, so I packaged them to move up to tenth, where I picked up Jake Bean. 

     

    The other big move came in free agency. I was unsure about committing to Reimer as my top goaltender, so I looked to see if anything was available on the block. Low and behold, the Ducks were willing to move 22 year old John Gibson - a goaltender with the potential to become elite. I sent them Kasperi Kapanen and a 2nd round pick in 2018, and then signed Anders Lindback to have a solid back up. 

     

    Going into year two, I've made some significant changes to the team, and some of the players have really grown. Already, Auston Matthews is 87 overall with the potential to be a franchise player. Gibson jumped from 86 overall at the time of the trade, to 89 overall in the preseason. Morgan Reilly and Jake Gardiner are both far and away the best defenders on the team, while Dion and Scott Harrington (from the Kessel deal) are a very good second pairing. And Nazem Kadri is 89 overall and should have a fantastic season paired with JVR.

    Im curious do you play the game yourself or just sim and do the GM stuff?

    For PS4? Some PS2 games were just added this week, but there are no PS1 games at the moment. If you're talking about PS3, there are many examples of both under the "PS1 Classics" or "PS2 Classics" categories.

    Where do i find these categories? This is under the PlayStation store?

    Finished Jessica Jones last night...

    Great show, easily one of my favourites of the year, but a couple of things fell flat for me. Hope's death was one, Jess spent most of the series not killing Kilgrave because of her, and she just goes and offs herself, no hype or nothing. Worse still she wasn't given enough time or motivation on screen for me to care about her death. I get what they were trying to do by finally allowing Jess to kill Kilgrave, but it just didn't work for me at all.

    Second was Kilgrave's death. It was a fun moment, but it felt anticlimactic, and whilst there's still the chance for Kilgrave to come back, the idea that a villain built that good is dead already in the MCU left a sour taste in my mouth, especially since it made a pretty clever and manipulative character seem like an absolute moron.

    That's not to shit on the rest of the show, two complaints for the entire series, even if they are relatively significant ones, is still damn good, especially when the cinematography, acting, and scripting were all so good.

     

    Spoiler

    I hated how they killed Kilgrave it was so dumb i loved everything else about that show except that. What i would of done is have Jessica Jones pull out Kilgraves tongue leave him mute then just toss him in the water and then he could come back with stronger powers more like mind control or something (might be a little far fetch for the TV Universe) but still i think it's still better then having him killed off after all the build up.

     

     

     

    I dunno why my comment went into Benji's :lol:

  7. I dunno if i asked this in here or not ever but I'll ask again if i have.

    Once im done my play through of Paper Mario im gonna be starting my play through of Play Station One Games and im wondering if anyone has any recommendations or must play games for the PS1

    Thanks in advance :)

  8. I just Finished up Legend Of Zelda's Majora's Mask for Nintendo 64 for the first time, had heard the last boss battle was hard and i walked through it to be honest was kinda disappointed other then that it was really fun tho.

    I tried playing Batman Beyond Return Of The Joker but it was a piece of crap so i decided to skip to my next game Paper Mario which is another game i had never finished so im pretty excited for it

  9. I love what you guys are doing for this since i really like EWR but i get sick of having to change everything myself especially when something simple isn't getting changed like Kevin Steen to Kevin Owens.

    I have a suggestion tho when it comes to deleting someone like CM Punk or changing NXT to a Brand why not just do a poll and have a vote? Seems like the easiest way then it's a majority rules thing

    Personally i think "rule of fun" should be considered with name Wrestlers who are retired, like CM Punk should basically be in the game just because why delete him since when he is done with the UFC people are gonna want him back in or at least argue for it

  10. Kinda random question i was hoping someone could answer for me

    I was watching Batman the Animated Series Volume 3 Finished it up and started volume 4 and it seems like a totally different show, it's similar in it's ways but certain things just seem like they were skipped or something.

    Like at the end of Volume 3 Bat Girl had no idea who Batman was and was barely in the show at all but no she all of a suddenly knows who Batman is and is in the Bat Cave also Robin was fine with Batman at the end of Volume 3 but is gone at the start of Volume 4 and they bring in Tim Drake to be the new Robin out of no where

    Was just curious if anyone can explain this to me

  11. Ok here's a throwback question, but I can't find the answer in looking for. I know Rampage left Bellator to fight in UFC again, but did he not walk out of a contract, and if so how was this deemed legal?

    There was a clause in the Bellator Contract that he was aloud to leave if he wasn't given everything he was promised and part of the deal was a movie deal and he never got it so he left
