I have had people walk out on me before, but not... when I was being so charming.
The goal horns are flip-flopped-- kinda funny, adds to how surreal the whole thing looks.

It helps that Jack Johnson plays like his controller ran out of battery.

Blame JMFJ.

Watching the NHL with the AC on on a hot day at 4pm reminds me of when they'd have the games in Europe.

This is so weird with piped in crowd noise, but I suppose it would be creepy without it like the few NBA clips I've seen. I really wish I could hear the players screaming gently caress better though.

I read somewhere that in the exhibition games they'll be testing various ways to do in-arena fake crowd noise and take feedback from the teams whether it's distracting, what's a reasonable volume etc.

Apparently they haven't yet decided how it's going to be in the real games.

Re: booing

"ESPN: OK, how about this scenario: when Gary Bettman hands out the Stanley Cup?

Mayer: [laughs] That could be the only time we use it. He's good-natured about it. He joked the other day about how this could be the only time ever that he's not booed, but maybe we can make it work since we've got the fans on video."

For the NFL draft, they piped in boos to Roger Goodell's basement when he was talking. It's good to see him being self-aware, and hopefully Bettman does the same.

That's true, I completely forgot about that because it felt like a million years ago. Goodell even referenced it and called the fans out for not booing hard enough.

The round robin games have regular season OT/Shootout so that's what they're doing for the exhibition games. Neat!
