@fauxbravo: Oh, agreed, but I mean, that top picture is one of the most awkward, misplaced cover images I've seen. With sports titles, you need the action shot. The game isn't about the player; it's about the sport. #mlb2k10
@Michael Dukakis: Yeah, thank god it's not just Jeter. Nice to have some love for the smaller teams.
It would have been cool to see Zach Greinke on the cover. I'm not even a Royals fan, I just think he's an amazingly under-appreciated player because of his market. #mlb2k10
I'm wondering if people who take these marketing surveys even worry about legal action that might be taken against them if they leak this kind of stuff.
I've taken some game related marketing surveys and I've seen a glimpse or two of future titles in some franchises but I worry about legal action :)
@Str8_Jihadin: It's very hard for them to track it down (cant?) if you print screen the stuff on the survey, especially if the survey has several participants. #mlb2k10
@Str8_Jihadin: They ask you to agree not to spread any information before they give you the samples. So our heroic leaker is, at minimum, a liar and a fink. #mlb2k10
Everyone, I want to take this opportunity to discuss important matters with you. I have made keen observations but in no way can I disclose such information to you guys. #mlb2k10
@Str8_Jihadin: They're looking for free marketing research (unless tipster is paid, which I doubt it), and in so far as that's the case, they can't expect there to be too much dedication to this. #mlb2k10
@Brazell: I need about 300 more points to get paid $50 so... :)
Btw, if you copy and paste my text in the above comment starting with "Good evening..." into the reply box, you will see that I left a hidden message ala Schwarzenegger style. #mlb2k10
You know what's the best thing? We were friendly before she graduated; she was my Field Production TA (Ithaca College). She went off to LA, and we didn't chat often after that. One day a friend tweeted that they wanted to have a sex scandal after they graduated IC, and I read an article that mentioned Brooke but didn't have a picture. It didn't mean anything until I saw the picture, and then I lost my shit laughing, intensified because for once, I knew who the chick was.
On topic? That sucks for 2K, I guess? But banging sub-attractive college graduates doesn't affect your ability to generate color commentary (at least as far as I know) and I don't think 2K should worry about it. I'm pretty sure people won't skip the game just because it has "That Steve guy who banged the NY Post's 'tubby temptress.'"
So... hummm... he may be orange, but I guess he's not bad looking by most women's standards. Which leads me to this thought...
"Why oh why is it that EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I see someone messing up their lives for a sex scandal, it's always with the fugliest people they could find..."
@SinCartier: I will 100% agree with this. For some reason that's the rule, and I have no farking clue why you would do something with someone who looked like that. The Post calling her the "tubby temptress" was downright hilarious though. #2ksports
@ChickenPawks: The third paragraph of the letter she left at their house is not only creepy as fuck, it's downright condescending. Something got into her, and I mean something besides Steve's cock. #2ksports
His inability to tell the difference between "promising young person you'll be heralded as a visionary for seeing the potential in" and "an embarrassingly bad decision you'll be ashamed to be associated with" extends far beyond the baseball diamond, I see. #2ksports
It could just be me, but when I watch sports (particularly playoffs) I cringe now.
Not because I don't like them. In fact there's little better than going home, relaxing, and watching the elite sports teams of the world (Okay, generally it's just the US, in the sports I watch) compete at a high level for a championship title.
But is it just me, or does the guy that decided "Bon Jovi music can be played as a part of any playoff series" needs to be fired? Because I'm really getting sick of so much Bon Jovi. Not that I have anything against the guy, but seriously, it's getting excessive at this point, I think. And I have no source for this, but I feel like it's happened before. More than once.
Does anyone else feel the same irritation I do at hearing him at the beginning of just about every game, as well as once or twice during, for some games? It's really discouraged me from watching, just due to the repetition alone. (Again, not criticizing the music at all--I'm not having that discussion right now, just the fact that there's too much of it)
where on this post did i use the word "LIKE"? all i'm saying is violence is a part of life, i don't condone it in cases. but it doesn't mean that one is to refrain from using violence if it means survival. and your views on violence are your opinions... and just that. i for one enjoy boxing and MMA. fighters train hard and fight. when the fight is over they usually shake hands. thats why they are sports. its not like they are doing it against their will.
you can put ending all types of violence in a wish at the fountain. you'll find my hopes of scoring with stacey dash when you get there :P
There should be a one punch law. If you say something slick or smart-ass you deserve to get slapped. More power to anyone who knocks the taste out of someone's mouth.
@That mop mutant from NES.: It's something that really happened. Don't start violence if you don't want someone to end it. Better yet, don't be violent at all. That just makes you a jerk.
@Trey: It's much better to reply with something that will make the other party get physical first. If it's self defense and there are witnesses, you're more likely to be in the clear.
Not to mention, most people like to start fights by shoving to get "psyched up" or something. With even rudimentary knowledge of self-defense you can end the fight then and there with no injuries and the shoving party humiliated and arrested. Much more satisfying than trading punches to the forehead.
@Koztah: Oh, I know. Even though I'm not a saint, I have a higher tolerance than most and figure a lot of the garbage people can say or will say is meaningless and not worth me making them swallow their teeth. I was just illustrating I didn't "start" anything in that scenario. :)
@Improbable: Yeah the only thing I didnt like about the brawl (apart from all the suspensions) was the fact that the media used this as an attack against miamis character, while pretty much ignoring fiu. The canes didn't start the fight, nor did they clear their bench first. Thats not what sportscenter would have you think _
