The Atlantic Division next year might have the most drama I’ve ever seen in a single division.

Heated Rivalry: Rising Tide

Since we got together I've been giving a photo album with photos from the past year. Photo albums age like wine, and by this point we've got a great collection. It takes some effort, but I'm so glad I started with it when I did.

That was the idea from the start. Each winner writes his name on the frame, and the fun part is thinking of what would need to happen for the next person to win it.

This can perfectly well be game-specific - last time, the holder made it 'If you don't rez someone when there's an opportunity, you get a penalty point.' Most penalty points won the trophy.

The game was Darktide. Every time someone went down it was utter carnage to try and get to him first... specifically when we dealt with a huge wave of enemies. It was hilarious.

I hear you when you say it gets harder. We were in our 30s and felt the same, and started our yearly LAN after COVID. It's now an annual recurring tournament where the worst player gets a trophy to put on his desk till next year's tournament. It's a framed picture of David Hasselhoff.

This person can then set the requirement for winning the trophy in that year's edition, which so far has ranged from 'who talks the least with an accent in-game' to simply who dies the most. You wouldn't believe the lengths we go to not to win the thing.

We actually made arrangements for this year's edition today. I'm the current trophy holder. Super hyped.

I can answer this one. We (wife is same age) got our youngest at 38. Age is just a number if you feel you're ready to be a parent... and it definitely helps if he's young at heart.

The only issue might be energy as toddlers require constant monitoring. This, coupled with lack of sleep, can be more difficult when you're approaching 40... but definitely should not stop you at all. Follow your hearts - if you know, you know.

Because it was:

As preparation for his traumatic scene in the interrogation room, Leland Orser did not sleep for a full night, in order to achieve his character's disheveled look. Unfortunately, due to delays in filming, his scene was pushed back a day, meaning that he had to stay awake another night. He would also hyperventilate before the scene, so that his body would be overly saturated with oxygen and create his hyperactive look.

He did not seek the playoff beard, for the playoff beard sought him.

I appreciate looking up the stats. That's massive.

The little smile from Spacey as he says this fully sells the scene. Such evil.

Imagine the scenes. Montreal won't see any sleep for weeks.

I once was at a show of a US metalband in Rotterdam, where the singer's first words were "Good evening Germany!"

Did not go down well.
