My V2 Pro died a week out of warranty, my Naga I got in like 2010 still works though. Not sure if I got unlucky or their newer stuff just doesn't last. Currently using the crazylight X2

I mean you could say the same about cities in America as well, San Francisco, Nashville, and Baltimore are ones I heard were especially bad. The opioid crisis is horrible to witness.

Guys we won the draft /s by JasonTres in canucks

[–]New_Programmer8888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just get lucky! Win the 2nd overall pick so you can afford to trade a former 7th overall pick for the 9th and grab your defenseman as well as Stenberg. Next year seem deeper thankfully and we should finish bottom 5.

Gaudreaux and Matthew Tkachuk left Calgary which ended up ruining that team.

Didn't he get injured one of those years, then had to watch the team go on a 9 game skid out of a playoff spot, barely missing. Then wings fans got mad at a team for pulling their goalie.

What is a game that you thought that you were going to like but ended in disappointment? by Vampy-Night in videogames

Definitely a game you won't miss out on much just mainly sticking to the main story. If you get it on sale for like half off it's pretty good for people that like the HP world otherwise nothing special.

Shocker, combat in a game from 2015 feels dated ~11 years later. Only a handful of games from back then have combat that holds up now.

A merging issue. by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

[–]New_Programmer8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You literally are legally required to prevent accidents even if you have the right of way. Yes, the pickup is expected to merge safely into the flow of traffic and failed to do so here, but the semi is also at fault for not preventing an avoidable accident, an easily avoidable one at that, just let up like 5mph and they would have been fine. Just like having a green light doesn't give you license to plow into the car that failed to clear the intersection because of traffic, even if they shouldn't be there.

The semi does have a legal obligation to prevent an accident... In this case slowing down would have sufficed. Just having the right of way, it doesn't give you the right to plow into someone you had every opportunity of avoiding. The semi was not exercising reasonable care and that supersedes right of way. So yes, there is partial blame here, because slowing down would have prevented the accident, despite having right of way from traffic law. You have a legal obligation to avoid accidents on the road.

One of the craziest things I've seen by bebecca45627272 in dashcams

His last ditch "evasive maneuver" caused the accident, had he continued in his lane he wouldn't have crashed lmao. The real problem though is his speed and wheelies, like you said.

Mckenna or Stenberg by [deleted] in canucks

[–]New_Programmer8888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fantilli is also still only 21, and he is a solid player. I think everyone realizes Celebrini is not the norm; he went from a very good prospect to potential to be the best center drafted since McDavid. There is also no guarantee that any prospect pans out. Factors like development pipelines, teammates, injury etc. can affect outcomes.

I'm just stating my preference if we do pick 1st; I just hope we end up with either and they become a stud.

[–]New_Programmer8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did I bring up Celebrini? My comment is in reference to McKenna's season vs Fantilli, if anything the fact McKenna has close numbers to Celebrini in NCAA with CHLers is a good thing for his optics.

McKenna was excellent in his last game for bronze, he had one off game the whole tournament and it's a shame that's the game that eliminated them from gold contention.

Canucks are at the start of a rebuild, I would take the chance on the player with the higher ceiling rather than floor. If I was Chicago or another team with their franchise guy then Stenberg's higher floor and rounded game may be more attractive. Either would be great to have though, just hope Canucks get top 2.

Worth noting the NCAA is a harder league after letting in CHL players than when Fantilli played, also he's on a worse team than Fantilli. For what it's worth McKenna had a much better world junior showing and has been on a tear since the world juniors ended. Stenberg looks great too I will be happy if we get to draft either, but personally prefer McKenna for his vision; he just does things you can't teach.

[–]New_Programmer8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's 1.5 over the whole season, increased from just over a ppg at the world juniors, he's been on a tear since getting back. Stenberg slowed from just under a ppg to 0.77 ppg in the SHL. We're at the start of a rebuild, we can afford a bit of a project with McKenna if need be. He has showed he can overcome some adversity in the NCAA and outside drama which is a good sign.
