Yes it is your third AOFD from me. You, Coop and bahamut seem to be geting alot of them. I might just might keep a list of past AOFD users.

Though when i feel like posting, this is something i have not felt like doing for the past few days.

Coop readies himself to finish the cricket season. Congratulations to:

I´m not very familiar with this point system, but it sounds very interesting. So 1 goal and 4 assists is 5 points and the points determine the skill of a player? Any other things worth points as well, cause I can imagine it´s hard for a goalie and defenders to get into the spotlights this way. And also, I assume they use the points to determine the player of the year and such?

Well, each goal is one point and so is an assist. There are major trophies for the Goal Scoring (Maurice Richard Trophy) and points scored (Art Ross Trophy), which traditionally go to forwards, but Bobby Orr, a legendary Boston defenceman took home the Art Ross twice in his career - the only non-forward to do so.

Goalies tend to be assessed on Wins, save percentage and goals against average (Average number of goals conceded over 60 minutes of Ice Hockey played. Great goalies tend to weigh in with over 30 wins per season, a save percentage higher than 92% (Americans express it as a decimal though, for some reason) and a goals against average of less than 2. The best goalie in the league will win the Vezina Trophy, while the goalie(s) with the best GAA will earn the William M. Jennings trophy.

So they don't feel left out, the NHL awards the best defenceman the James Norris trophy. Seriously, the NHL has an award for everything :P

I guess so, looking at the amazingly long list. Much more than in football at least (only real listing I could find).

Beside Phil and Gary Neville and Ronald and Frank de BOER, I only know about one half of the names listed.

Well, the Charlton brothers are a little special in England as well ;)

Mind you, George Cohen was a part of England's 1966 World Cup winning squad, then his nephew Ben was a part of England's victorious Rugby World Cup winning squad in 2003. An interesting family.

I haven't played Bioshock, but probably the most epic intro I've ever seen is the one from Shadow of the Colossus, then again the whole game is an epic piece of art.

If it's that epic, I refuse to watch it until I get the game. Still need to find a good time to play it and the next PS1/2 game I was going to play was FFIX again.

Exactly, and he did state his reasons as to why he didn't add that moment. You could say I've made a few mistakes on my Top FF tracks list myself and you know what, there could probably be a few changes done to the list but my top 10 will remain intact.

Whenever someone does a top X of Y there'll always be doubts, omissions and second-guessing yourself, so no point worrying about it I suppose :P

Exactly, I even had some people disagreeing with some of my decisions on the list. The one I remember very well is the little amount of FFVIII tracks and I thought was only fair for at least one person to complain about. However, as nice as the FFVIII soundtrack is, I much prefer the others. It still beats FFII, X-2 and XII soundtracks, though.

I'll never regret saying bad things about bad bands. I mean, a band that plays shitty music doesn't get better because some other band play even worse music. :P

Well, it was one way to try and make you like Manowar, which failed miserably.

Obviously you'll never accept the fact that I'm right.

That's right, I won't accept it because you aren't. And because you aren't right I CAN'T accept it.

The problem here is that I'm right no matter what and you'll refuse to accept it regardless.

This bites. :(

I don't think we'll ever know when the universe started. :(

I've been missing out on a lot of their music in the last few years though. :/ The most recent CD of theirs I own is Blackwater Park, which albeit a good one, probably is far different from most of their new stuff.

True, but isn´t it the same with football? I mean, they also hand out goalie, defender, midfielder and forward of the year every year. Plus European topscorer of the year. On top of that, I believe the English Premier Division also hand out similar awards for players playing in their division.

But there are no two awards for one position on the field, that´s true. And no point system either as far as I know.

Beside Phil and Gary Neville and Ronald and Frank de BOER, I only know about one half of the names listed.

Well, the Charlton brothers are a little special in England as well ;)

Charlton? That name doesn´t ring any bells here.

Mind you, George Cohen was a part of England's 1966 World Cup winning squad, then his nephew Ben was a part of England's victorious Rugby World Cup winning squad in 2003. An interesting family.

That´s interesting indeed. Although I believe it´s fairly common that sportsmen in general are good in several sports. I believe Johan Cruyff used to play baseball and could´ve made it to the professionals if he wanted to, but he choose for football in the end. I can also remember Michael Schumacher playing an excellent game of football in a benefit match. And I can probably bring up a dozen more examples.

So maybe Ben could´ve made it in the football world as well if he wanted to and George in rugby.
