What in the...

If anything, I'd say Jeremy didn't truly have any "Drive" back in the day.

You should sell this to some desperate on-line dating types and just have them replace some of the names...there might be a few children named after you in the next year or so....

Very well written. Can't Imagine how much time you spent on this. Good Job.

I am soooo there with you bruh.
I was caught goin back and fourth several times because I still wanted to be "aLive" but,...... as B.B.King said it best, "The Thrill Is Gone" because everynight I gotta prove my luv to 2K!

"Another game that had shared my affection for so long began slacking on me. She became complacent and lazy. There was no effort put into her appearance at all. She had let herself go in the worst way. I stayed with her because there was no alternative."

LMAO you made my boring day at work, Great article!!!

WOW! You put alot of thought into that.

I can digg it!

So in reality...I think Jeremy might have some real problems mentally, but we will not hold that against him. Most unique article yet at OS? Possibly

# 13 amedawg00 @ 07/02/08 12:44 AM

wow...that was unique...2K8 is a mainstay in my 360. How, how can they possibly **** up 2K9; Hell, Ill even settle for a 2k8 port and roster updates as passing for 2k9. This game is crack!

Thanks for the love folks. I mean, it really is true though. How many people held on to Live and didn't give Sega/2K a chance with NBA 2K? I was turned off from basketball games for a long time because of the the lack of a better alternative but NBA 2K8 brought me back.

It is creative indeed but how else can a basketball lifer explain his love for the game itself as well as its virtual counterpart?
