Finally played Portal. Interesting game to say the least.

NBA 2k10 is just a fun game overall... I've got an association going with the Bobcats. I really don't take this one as serious as my CH2k8 one, in fact I don't play any regular season games outside of maybe one or two against a stacked team or against Lebron/Kobe/Melo, but I play all the playoff games.
Started things off by trading away Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson and tanking the first season... Raymond Felton made the all-star team lol. Won the lottery and had the #1, #7, and #22 picks in the draft, promptly took myself at #1 (Only way I can have fun in an NBA franchise is if I'm in it), a pretty good PF Harmon at #7, and a SF Frazier at #22.
Now, when I made myself, I made myself in the vague likening of a mix between Kobe and Lebron. My overall was down (around an 87 because thats the highest I had seen a rook come in before), but I had a high potential so I figured I would progress. Well, my team didn't have much outside of me offensively for more than half the season, so I averaged around 35, 14, and 8 a game. Unrealistic as all hell but I could care less its fun for me.
I traded for Kevin Martin (Gave up Raymond Felton, and my 1st and 2nd round picks), as well as Josh Howard (he sucks down the road now but he's still a solid guy coming off the bench) and he gave me another guy to go to. We rolled to the #1 seed and swept the Magic in the first round. The Raptors took it to me in the second round though, I had no answer for Bargnani and Bosh down low and they took it in 6.
So, in the off-season, I brought in Shaq, and he's at least decent at helping Tyson Chandler try and slow down the other team's big man.
Around the NBA:
- Lebron won the MVP the first year, and then I won it last year.
- The Cavs have won 2 straight titles, beating the Lakers 4-3 in year 1 and 4-2 last year. This year's playoffs were especially interesting, they came back from down 3-1 to beat the Celtics in round 1, down from 3-1 to beat the Pacers in round 2, and down from 3-0 to beat the Raptors in the ECF, and then from down 2-0 to beat the Lakers... Lebron just wouldn't let 'em lose.
- Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are beasts... they've carried the Thunder to the WCF for the past two years.

Finally finished Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway. It was a damn good game but man did I feel like smashing my controller countless times. The difficulty was unreal.

Dragon age really sucks...no offense to all who loved it. BF is pretty solid, and I'm on my 2nd playthrough of Heavy Rain. I need another game...possibly FIFA.

In the middle of an online game my PS3 decides to kick the bucket - two hours before I leave to get Final Fantasy XIII. And I just purchased FFVII and FFVIII off PSN not too long ago. FML.
With no console (or the funds to purchase another one) in the near future, I might as well just trade in all my games.

Well, I played the first game of my tenure at UConn... got lucky and got out of East Lansing with a 70-67 win over #1 Michigan State. My SF Jason Ferris went off with 17 points, and my freshman C Hernandez had 22 points, 11 boards, and 3 blks, he was the first team pre-season All-American at center and he reminds me a lot of Greg Oden.
My guard play is terrible... I can legimately go 8-9 deep in the frontcourt.. but I have one PG and one SG on the roster, and 2 SF's.Comment

15 hours into FFXIII and this story is starting to get juicy.

For those that use Gamefly, how easy is it to get relatively new games? The Blockbuster by my house is closing so I'm considering it.Comment

Caught a copy of Skate 2 at GameStop for $20 even... a day-or-two afterward, the original Bioshock sprouts up at my local K-Mart for $20 as well.
Good times for cheap-o games. :DComment

You'll get mixed answers to that.
Mine? Well, theres a trick about Gamefly's Queue, you load it with a bunch of games, then you're chances of getting any of those games seems to decrease. What I do is, remove any and every game that is currently out. And just keep "upcoming releases" on my Q.
If there is a particular game that is already out, I add JUST that game. IF it's the only game I want. Lets say you want Modern Warfare OR Bad Company, you can add both those, just dont add any other game that is currently out. I dont usually add a ton of currently available games to my Q. Which is what a lot of gamefly subscribers seem to do. Just pile a shit load of games on their Q that they would play but dont necessarily want more than the other, and then nothing gets shipped as quickly as they'd like.
It's awesome if you really, truly play games a lot.
Pricing is $15 for 1 game out, $25 for 2, and $35 for 3. I think you can go as high as 4 games out at a time.
EDIT: I got the prices wrong
1. One game out at a time costs US$15.95 per month.
2. Two games out at a time costs US$22.95 per month (this is the most popular and promoted plan).
3. The three game out at a time plan, which is only available to eligible users in good standing for a duration of 60 days, costs US$29.95 per month.
4. The four game plan, which is only available to eligible users in good standing for about 60 days as well, costs US$36.95 per month.Last edited by Tengo Juego; 03-11-2010, 09:58 PM.Comment
