  1. Not here for an argument. I personally enjoy video games. But there's plenty of info out there about Fortnite and the way it's eclipsing every record for video games by a fair margin. In my house, with my 13 year old, it almost cost him his honours graduation from grade 8. After being warned in school about playing games, he still got caught playing fortnite on his laptop in class. No other video game came remotely close to anything beyond 'current interest' with him until fortnite came out. The first article is the long paper on the build characteristics of these newest games. https://ww
  2. ill find the paper I just read on the science behind fortnight. Stuff like the music designed to keep you on task and focussed for longer. They tested it By playing it fir people doing ordinary tasks like office work and the subjects work longer and with more focus than with ordinary or no music.
  3. Fortnight, the most evil video game ever designed. It’s actually ruining lives.
  4. Arp, did you see this story? http://abc11.com/sports/report-chuck-kaiton-out-as-hurricanes-announcer-after-39-seasons/3815900/
  5. in that neighbourhood, it was weird checking victims to see if I knew anyone...
  6. Not a good night to be doing my job in Toronto. What a scene. For you guys that know the Danforth it started at that little sidewalk corner park on the north side of Danforth and Logan (I used to live on Logan right at Danforth). Across from the Tim Hortons. Moved west across the street. I’ve never seen that many shell casings at a scene before. We heard...rumour at this point for sure...that he may have been targeting the woman and just kept shooting. Pretty awful scene.
  7. Anyone want to bet this England game w me? Over/under is 2, I’ll take either side. I’ll also take England in regulation (that’s a +135 bet) straight up. $50 cdn max. Let me know.
  8. My nephew is 21 and loves soccer. He bet Belgium 11-1 and France 6-1 Pre tournament. I’m trying to teach him how to lay off money so he can guarantee a win. His response? ‘Why would I do that, Belgium is going to win.’
  9. Islanders can’t offer anyone between just over a million and 10 million. In order to offer HAVE to have your own picks. Isles traded away their 2019 2nd and 3rd rd picks.
  10. i will be doing a presentation for mr johansen. My presentation will be a dissection of John Stuart Mill’s ‘On Liberty’ as it applies to the current US political climate. If he doesn’t like it, he can go play for Montreal..
  11. I know nothing about soccer. But I love the emotion in the sides singing their anthems before the matches. Beautiful.
  12. Really happy for you dale. Such a helpless feeling for you as a parent. Great outcome. That must be such a relief.
  13. Best veal sandwich in the city is California Sandwich on Claremont. Not close.
  14. Thankfully, I was not working. The medics and firefighters that responded would have had to make decisions that will haunt them.
  15. I'm rooting the leafs to win, but I have my doubts as well. And I think a lot of it lies on babcock. Why on earth would a team that played so well all year by playing fast, up the ice, blow the zone hockey all of a sudden switch to a 'defence first' philosophy?? It's like Toronto tried to devise a game plan that would best suit boston....
  16. His saying it was a revenge hit on wingels REALLY didn’t help his cause. Lou will probably staple his mouth shut.
  17. but don’t take a knee, that’s disrespectful to Murica!
  18. should be treated the same as spitting on a player.
  19. It’s actually 14th level thinking. Someone else selected my team. Someone with a genius ability with pools.
  20. Every single ‘sticks out for humboldt ‘ pic chokes me up a little and then there was this.... http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/video/sc-noad1~1352123
  21. I’m jammed up at work without a laptop. CAn someone post a link to the forum playoff pool thread so I can try to get it done on my phone?
  22. Tampa over jersey in 7 Leafs over Boston in 7 CBJ over Washington in 5 Pittsburgh over Philly in 7 Nashville over Colorado in 5 Winnipeg over minny in 6 LA over Vegas in 5 Anaheim over SJ in 6
