ixcuincle Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 My NBA 2k15 Washington Wizards save was corrupted so I lost my hard work rebuilding the team to relevance. They were 36-33 before the save crashed.  Everyone should play NBA 2k15 MyGM mode because it is the most fun you will ever have with a sports game in 2015. I was meeting with my coaches and players and they have badges and stuff and you can coddle them or give them tough love and you can attend press conferences and you can even coach the game too  Since my Wizards save has crashed I have been forced to coach Philadelphia. Things are alright, this team is obviously one of the youngest rosters in the league but we still expect results, nothing less than an 8th seed in the East will do. This team is young but they have heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The only bad sports game and I wouldn't even say it was bad, just...didn't captivate interest was The Show. But it's hard to hit a baseball. FIFA and NBA 2k are legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Stroker and Springy......all the talk last night about music got me thinking about ****. Â Just growing up, listening to the radio as a young Taze on a radio alarm clock going to bed. Â Â Moving the antenna around, trying to pick up "that station" even though a lot wouldn't come in clear, especially living in the foothills/mountains of NC. Â I think I may have brought this up in here before (a while back), but Tazette hasn't had that experience and I was going to buy her one for Christmas, but honestly never got around to it (considering we had bought her a ton of stuff already). Â I'm gonna pull the trigger. Â Every kid should have a radio to go to sleep to and listen to tunes, find themselves. Â Hell, I'm gonna buy one for myself too.

Springfield Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 There is something to be said for an old analog radio. When I've been putting lil spring to sleep I've been listening to pandora from time to time. I have a Radiohead station that is a great mix of old classic rock, 90's alternative and new electronic indie music. Radiohead really transcends several genres of music.

ixcuincle Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The Show RTTS games are short and quick but franchise mode takes forever even on quick mode. NBA 2k game takes like 25 minutes.  Should probably start a game right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Wife brought up using Pandora or another app, but I want to go a little more old school. Â Of course now, they are all digital, which is fine. Â I asked her, she said she wanted one. Â They are fairly cheap (seem to be $20-50 average), hopefully it won't be a use it once and done gift lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 as big as an alleged NBA fan as you are how have you not played MyGM on NBA 2k15 yet  It is more fun than the actual NBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah Taze, crazy where we are with tech. I was recording songs off the radio on to blank tapes in middle school. Also would record episodes of Loveline when Adam was on fire. HFS came in a little staticky for me, so the antenna was always fully deployed at a very specific angle and direction. Any slight movement of the alarm clock and you'd need to redo the entire positioning process. Surgical precision was required. New alarm clocks have a pretty long wire as an antenna. No BS, you can trap it with a tack on the wall when you find a good signal. WHERE WERE THOSE IN 95? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 as big as an alleged NBA fan as you are how have you not played MyGM on NBA 2k15 yet  It is more fun than the actual NBA I watch and pull for the Hornets and catch other games here and there when I can, always watch the playoffs, all the games.   I own 2K14, and I am absolutely horrible at it.  I also prefer to play online against real competition.  I don't like franchise modes and playing against the computer.  The only reason I play it on Madden is because it is Connected Franchises where we did a 53 round live draft (consisted of all current players), and get to play head to head versus each other with basically fantasy teams.   Yes, there are games against the CPU, which are fine.  But if I get bored I can sim the game at any point and advance to the next week.   Seriously, I suck something horrible in the NBA games and don't really feel like devoting my time to getting better at it cause I have other games I'm good at and would rather play (Madden, CoD, Battlefield, Destiny, NHL, MLB, etc.).   Couldn't the same question be posed to everyone on these boards that games that doesn't play Madden?   Edit: I think I read your intent wrong the first time Ix, sorry, been a ****ty day and week at work.  Yeah Taze, crazy where we are with tech.

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Also Ix, long gone are the days where I drop $$$ on games that I know are gonna get played once or twice, or for a week or two only to be put on the shelf and collect dust. Â The graphics, gameplay, etc. were awesome on NBA 2K14, 15 looks even more spectacular. Â It's just not for me. Â Â My future BIL was trying to get me to buy it, still wouldn't budge lol. Â He was trying to get me to get Fifa too, but I don't like soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 So, on Friday I am going to have to let a long time coworker go. Â Actually, I won't be the one doing the talking, that will be the business owner but I will be the second employee (since you generally should have two people present in addition to the employee being terminated). Â Essentially it was the GM and my own decision to let this employee go. Â This is a man who I have worked with for over a decade, someone who was a part of my bachelor party. Â He's going to be devastated by this, I'm almost certain. Â It has to happen though. Â He takes advantage of rules and guidelines which draws the ire of his coworkers, he can be petty when it comes to business practices and can be very difficulty to deal with during disagreements. Â He also "put in his two weeks" at the end of December but the business owner talked to him and after a cool down period he decided to stay (and the owner decided to keep him). Â There is all the reason in the world that this employee should be terminated. Â I feel awful about it. Â I'm trying to find the good in it considering it's a decision I made but I can't help but feel for him and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have dudes ****ing with your bottom line, friendship or no friendship. Keeping him around wouldve shredded your credibility with the rest of your staff. He is the one who should've acted like an adult.He probably won't want to talk to you for a minute. But eventually im sure he'll see the error of his ways and come around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Not really on either accounts. Â We have a small business, 20-30 employees. Â I manage all of them except the owner and general manager. Â I'm as closer than many of them than I am with my best friends. Â I spend 10 hours a day with these people, several of them 5-6 days a week. Â I know their wives, girlfriends, kids, etc. Â It's like family. Â It's a part of my job. Â I've hired and fired more people than I can remember. Â It's not very often that I have to let someone go that I've worked with for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
