I spent the majority of today playing video games. This was 2K day. I've probably sank more hours into this than Battlefield 4. I'm in the playoffs with my shooting guard, and since Game 1 was too close, barely winning by 2 points, I wanted to blow them out for the second one, and I accomplished that by scoring 93 points. This was on 10-minute quarters too. Game was mostly neck and neck until the fourth quarter where we went on a crazy run.
We're up against the Nuggets and they had the audacity to put Nate Robinson on me. That is truly disrespectful. I scored in a variety of ways, from breaking him off the dribble or backing him down. He could not stop me and they refused to double me. If that's how they want to play it, then I'll just score as much as I want. I ended up with 80% shooting or something ridiculous like that.
I switched over to my center and played two games to reach All Star weekend. I won the first one, but the second game against the Thunder was pure cheese. There was nothing I can do. I'm a rim protector, but how can I get blocks or rebounds if everything shot beyond the 3 point line goes in? Someone on the 2K development team has a serious hard on for Jeremy Lamb. He's the new Ray Allen. He makes treys all day with hands in his face. It's stupid.
Then I played all the games in December for my small forward. I'm trying to use a method to get myself traded to the Lakers. Originally, I wanted my small forward to follow a realistic career trajectory. I didn't want to become a bona fide superstar until my third year, but then I realized: ain't nobody got time for that. If I could simulate the first year, then I would do that, but since I'm forced to play every game of the first season, I might as well dominate.
My small forward plays on the Jazz and they are straight up garbage. We're the worst team in the league. I told Derrick Favors to shove off when he asked me to become a sidekick. For the record, Favors is trash. To prove myself, I'm supposed to score 25 in a blowout for our next game. I did more than that, I scored 50, but since it wasn't a blowout, Favors got in my grill like I didn't play my heart out to get us the win.
We were trailing in the fourth and I made two clutch buckets to tie it up. I dragged our collective limp asses into overtime and won it there. After an amazing game like that, just because it wasn't a blowout, I "failed" the objective? Fuck you, 2K. I can't wait to get out of this crappy team. I should be getting traded sometime soon since I already asked for Favor's ass to be gone.
I started up Bioshock Infinite and got to Elizabeth. I uncapped the framerate because no amount of screen tearing can distract me from an overall smoother experience. So far, I'm digging the game, but it does feel like a more linear version of Bioshock.
I went on an epic run that left me exhausted. I hope I didn't injure my left foot. It's been nagging me lately. I'm trying to massage out the kinks but I wonder if it's something that needs to be healed? Maybe I should skip out on Thursday, or at least take it easier.
