Spring is here!

Besides spring starting 8 days ago.. the REAL official first day of Spring, at least here in Cloquet came on Tuesday the 27th.. Gordy’s Hi-Hat opened for the season!  Double Bacon Cheeseburgers, Onion Rings, Fries, or a great fish sandwich which is 4 large pieces of fish.. yum.. that’s enough without the sides sometimes

NBA2k12

Finally picked up a copy of NBA2k12 last month and been playing it on XBOX 360 whenever possible.. the game has some great qualities and some not so great ones.  In creating a ‘My Player’ and playing the season.. some of it is a major joke..

You’re in a close game and your computer controlled teammates act like they couldn’t give a damn about the game.. 4 points down 30 seconds and they run the shot clock to nothing and run out the entire game. 

Another is the My Player AI-Teammates defense.. or lack there of.. you are assigned someone to guard, with blue arrows.. yet that jumps around and changes so much during a possession .. your teammates switching on defense over and over without any warning to you and it costing you ‘teammate grades’ and ‘skill points’..

I haven’t played just regular season games, but the opponent teams hit so many 3-pointers that they’d be shooting at 80% for a season if they did what they do against your ‘My Player’ team.. incredibly inaccurate also that point guards who are 6 foot tall block 6 foot 8 or taller players shots over and over on layups.

 

Thus concludes a random thought.. or thoughts..

Blog Returning

It’s been well over 2 years since I posted on this blog of ‘Random Thoughts’ but I’ve still had lots of those Random Thoughts, they just end up on Twitter in under 140 characters most of the time

Hoping to actually start posting on this blog again and get it back to being an active blog.
