I'm Back!

Hello all. I am extremely sorry for not updating in months! I have been really busy. But I plan to begin regularly posting about various topics again. As you probably can tell I have completely redesigned my blog to make it fit more subjects than Star Wars as I no longer like Star Wars and want to remove it completely from my blog. I have recently acquired NBA 2K13 and in a short while will be typing up a review to post. Basketball and such is also going to be discussed on a regular basis on this blog, so if you enjoy basketball  then you can expect many posts to come. And now for the promised review of NBA 2K13! When I show you different elements of the game it will be necessary to use pictures, so expect quite a few to go along with my certain points.


I. The game play is smoother and the players faces are improved. As I am reviewing a PC version some of the features I describe as annoying may be different on a game console. I also have an Xbox 360 game system, but I have not yet tried NBA 2K13 on it. Now back to game play review... The shots are much more detailed and now fall according to shot stick release and angle of shot, as well as players abilities. This is truly a step up from 2K12 as 35 year old players would drain near half court shots with ease. For example, I once saw a player swish a nothing but net shot from near 60 feet!!! This error was fixed in this years model thanks to the Dynamic Shot Generator.

II. My Player mode is extremely fun as you can now be drafted first and presentation is wonderful... I really don't have time to mention all the improved features but I will say that it is truly upgraded!


III. Association mode is what I spend most of my NBA 2K13 time doing. You select a team and become coach, GM, players, and team scouts and are responsible for drafting new players, running your team to perfection, managing you affiliate in the NBA D-league (Which is like minor league baseball except basketball), and even setting up and running team practices, managing injuries, changing lineups, signing players, trades and much, much more.


IV. The last new major change which I'll highlight is the feature of recreating the Olympic teams. You can recreate and answer the question of who is better the 2012 squad or the Dream Team by matching up and playing a basketball game between the two. Since I haven't used this mode yet I really can't say much more about it except it looks extremely exciting.

Star Wars Quiz Update and NBA 2K Mod

Hello.

Also, in the future please feel free to comment and tell me if there is anything that you think I should change as I am eager to hear your opinion!! The main reason for this post was to discuss a wide range of topics that range from NBA 2K12 to Photos to ???.:) Right now I am working on fixing an issue in NBA 2K12 where the Player looks different than what's actually appearing in the game. I downloaded a patch from a NBA web site and it was supposed to modify the game so that it would let me have a career as a Basketball legend. Sadly, it is not working as I expected:() That's really all for know. Please let me know of you need help with any NBA 2K12 Related problems!!!:)

Rainy Day

Today was a slightly rainy day, although quite warm and sunny in the morning. I was quite excited about taking a few pictures for my blog, but when I went to get the camera... IT WAS GONE!!! After a somewhat frantic search I had to go somewhere. When I finally got home from my small trip, I again frantically begin looking for the camera. After searching almost everywhere and even asking a few members of my family for advice on where it was, I went out to the family van to find the camera sitting on the dashboard!!! I was quite reilived and then begin taking quite a few photos. Here are a few photos along with a short photo story describing something very odd. 



 This photo is a bugs-eye view of a curvy road sign near my house. I know I take random pictures, but I like to and the usually turn out good. 
 Another sign post. I really like this one as the effect I put on it makes it look like the sun is setting behind it.
 A picture of a tree (and yes, there is a pig pen in the background ).
There once was a person walking through the woods. He came upon   this tree and thought "How did a a that piece of metal ever get stuck in that tree"
