Sometimes It's Good To Be A Homer

I haven't blogged a whole lot lately because the content would have been predominantly negative and whiny. The Super Bowl was like reliving a nightmare. Poker has been terrible so far this month, as I've been running awful in just about every way possible, though the last session I played was solidly positive.

The Flames are well into their patented late season playoff charge, and I'm hoping they won't fall short this year despite them being utterly decimated by injuries (Glencross, Backlund, Jones, Stempniak, Moss and Derek Smith all out). They've been playing really well of late however, with the top line of Jokinen, Tanguay and Iginla being incredibly dominant. They even played well enough tonight to score me and my homer drafting first place in a Draftday freeroll with 408 total entries. If I had increased the homerism another notch and gone with TJ Brodie and Mark Giordano (a much cheaper option than the two defensemen I chose) my lead would have been even greater! In the interest of fariness, clearly Jason Spezza had a whole lot to do with my success as well.



I finished 100% completion of FFXIII-2 today, and while the game as a whole was reasonably good, both the ending and the "secret 100% completion" ending were intensely disappointing. Without spoiling anything, they pretty much guarantee a third entry at the very least.
