Kamloops Pylons: The Eighth Year (2018-2019) – A Massive Trade Pays Off

pylon8

Notable Events

  • There’s no easy way to say this. I traded starting goalie Kyle Pfeifer since it was the last year of his contract.
  • Pylons Season Record: 48-23-11
  • Rivermen Season Record: 38-28-10
  • Owner wanted me to make the Stanley Cup Finals… it was also the last year of my (the GM) contract, so I had to please the owner!
  • I may have found the next starting goalie after Jake Allen!
  • I suck at the draft. Badly.

Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Playthrough (Stream)

pt0_cropped

The past few afternoons I’ve been streaming the Wind Waker on our twitch stream (www.twitch.tv/lagserv). Aside from being a massive embarassment, much to the enjoyment of the spectators it would seem, I’ve been having fun. You can access the vods on twitch or by checking out the playlist on YouTube. The parts are long because they are the entire day’s stream. The first part is embedded below! (the actual gameplay starts about 5:40 in). Please note that this is NOT a speed run, it’s glacially slow and painful.

Lagview – Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad

When I was a kid (and I’m talking 4-5 years old here) my father let me play a game called Wolfenstein 3D. You might’ve heard of it. I have no idea how he pulled this off, but my mother didn’t really seem to mind at all. This launched a bit of a weird obsession with World War 2.

I’ve always found WW2 interesting. Admittedly, I’m not alone. Literally a billion games have been made around this subject, the first Medal of Honors, Battlefields, and Call of Dutys included. I found the eastern front particularly interesting since the western front gets way more coverage here in Canadian schools (obviously). However, when my grade 12 history class touched on the fact that, hey, the USSR was involved too (a fact I only vaguely knew from the first Call of Duty games), and went into a bit of detail, I found the subject interesting. Seeing Red Orchestra pop up on Steam, I always intended to try it out. And so finally, thanks to a Steam sale, I did.
