Rebuilding

Well, the jig is pretty much already up for the 2011-2012 Calgary Flames who it seems will finally go into a legit rebuild. Should be interesting to see what moves are made, as I'm certain that picking up Blake Comeau off waivers is only the beginning. Feaster may have some issues with the team's plethora of No Movement Clauses however.

The status quo for poker in November continues. The games are lousy, so I end up playing less tables/volume but am running well and it shows. On Friday I tied my all time record for most table winnings in a single day picking up ~$2.2k. It's worth noting too that had I faded one bare gutshot with one card to come at 600NL it would have been a 3k+ day! Certain whales just won't fold 65o on AJ84r for stacks.



I'm about half way through playing Final Fantasy Tactics for what is probably the sixth or seventh time. It wasn't intentional, but with my recent Suikoden 2 play through I ended up playing what I consider to be the two best RPGs of the PS1 era back to back. One of the best parts about FFT is that if you don't grind out a ton of levels early it is legitimately challenging for the first 60-70% of the game (until you get a jacked up Orlandeau or unlock the Arithmetician job). I've already seen the game over screen a couple times despite the fact I know the game inside out.
