Event Log: 2/5/14

The night did not go the way I expected. After wrapping up a session of BF4, I played some NBA 2K14. I wanted to get in a game or two. I stayed up until nine in the morning.

I was trying to get myself traded to the Lakers. I used a method on OperationSports. It requires a lot of patience. I have to slog through the in-game schedule until mid-January. Since the shortest I can set quarters is 6 minutes, that's a lot of game to skip. Near the end, I resorted to fouling out just to advance.

My efforts were not in vain. Finally, I ended up on my favorite team. It's too bad you can't be drafted by certain teams. At the rate things are going in real life, it seems very possible to be drafted by the Lakers next year.

For this season, though, I fit right in as Center. The starting lineup is Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Nick Young, Pau Gasol, and myself, Jo Matto. I modeled my player after The Dream, Hakeem Olajuwon--a beast with every offensive move possible in the post.

In my opening game as a Laker, I got 37 points on 15-15 shooting, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 7 blocks, 7-8 free throws, and... 4 turnovers. The last detail aside, my game couldn't have been any more beastly, and this was on Hall of Fame. I even got the game winning block and rebound, which forced them to foul. I clinched it with free throws. Final score: 102-100.

I didn't get a good sleep.

I woke up at around 3 and ate leftovers from last night for breakfast. I decided to farm VC for NBA 2K14 using this method from OperationSports. The custom roster ensures no nagging calls from other GMs, saving a lot of time.

True to my tumblr post, I went out for once and bought myself a caramel flan frappuccino from Starbucks. I hung out with my friend and we talked about stuff. I tried to sell him on Hannibal but it seems like he's too busy with Sons of Anarchy to care. It seems like there was a hockey game today, which meant the plaza was packed. We just want to get some coffee. Get out the way!

At night, me and three friends played some 4-way coop in Borderlands 2. We played one of the DLC, Scarlett's Pirate Booty, where you can ride a sand skipper. There was a moment when my two friends drove into each other, grinding out the skippers, and it looked like a form of demented vehicular humping. It was the most hilarious thing ever and we couldn't stop laughing over Teamspeak. That's when I thought to myself: this is really fun!

Time to end the night farming more VC. I want to unlock every GM ability.
