Hey guys, I've started a gaming channel (only overwatch so far) on youtube and I'm trying to build a community. Any subs/feedback would be greatly appreciated, cheers!

I saw this. It was good. Saw Logan Lucky too. Not as good, and had it's ups and downs, but overall, it was fun.

As for TV I have rewatched all of Game of Thrones. Some of the earlier episodes seemed better after seeing things play out over 7 seasons.

Then got through Better Call Saul season 3 and now working through The Americans. Both of these shows I think are under the radar as far as quality goes. But they are mostly more dialogue driven and more of slow burns so they are not for the masses.

I have to say that the Real GM mode of NBA2k18 is very very interesting. Dont know how many variables there are when it comes to the outcome of the multiple choice decision making, but at one point The Suns Owner was just days away from re-locating the team to Seattle, LMAO!

Its a seriously cool mode, except for the fact that i had to trade damn near everybody away the 1st season i was GM to appease the owners requests. Talk about a challenge!

OK, nevermind, the MyGM mode is frustrating as all hell!

1. For some reason they made Booker a whiney bitch. The moment i traded for Lance Stephenson, Booker starts crying to me that he's scared that im trying to replace him. Like WTF?? Anytime i was looking at trade offers and the other team was trying to include a SG, Booker would have an issue with it.

2. Its stupid that players are CONSTANTLY complaining about how they are unhappy with their role and believe they should be the starter. Its like you cant even put together a team with good players because they all will start crying. In my 2nd season as GM i had a Suns roster of Derrick Rose, Booker, Baldwin (Generic #1 drafted Rookie said to be future hall of famer), Jackson, and Drummond. Made it to the 2nd round of the Playoffs. Made a few moves and added Brooke Lopez, and even though he is rated lower than Drummond, he is constantly crying. Mastered flipping draft picks and won the Championship in my 2nd year. 3rd season and i made some incredible trades and ended up with:

D.Russell/Dragic/Ulis
Booker/Middleton/Shumpert
Baldwin/Jackson/Stephenson
Durant/Bender
Drummond/Lopez/Valanciunas/Qi

And pretty much everyone was bitching about their role except for Russell/Baldwin/Durant.

3. For some reason when it comes to extending contracts, im getting a glitch. Like Bender was asking for $6.8 M on a one year deal, so thats what i offered, but his response was like i didnt offer him what he asked. So then i raise my offer and once again i get denied and told he is looking at something around the $6.8M area. after trying 3 or 4 times he gets upset and leaves. This "Glitch has happened with like 4 or 5 different players now. Its frustrating. Dont know why it keeps doing this.

4. Another "Glitch" i ran into was i was offered Middleton/Valanciunas for a few players and the #2 pick in the draft. I said sure, why not as i didnt want to worry about scouting these randomly generated generic rookies. When i did this i noticed it showed that Valanciunas was making around -$350K a season. Yes, NEGATIVE $350K a season. Where it shows the full contract it said $3.06B. I have no idea what happened there, but think that somehow whatever did happen allowed me to spend more money, as i signed Durant as a FA after that and was almost ready to sign KAT (Until #3 happened and wouldnt allow him to accept the offer i made him which matched exactly what he wanted).

Pretty buggy. Maybe its just that im running a.....uh.....non...steam copy? IDK. Anyone else have 2k18 and find any issues?

I quite enjoyed the new Kingsman movie. Don't know why it's got a 51% on RottenTomatoes.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Me too. I mean you have to know what to expect going into that if you've seen the first one. It was fun though, except

Anyone got any "scare you ****" movies to suggest? Preferably 2000+ and not too popular, like Insidious, Conjuring etc cuz I'll probably have seen it already.

I restarted the mode after making a poor contract choice that I couldn't get out of. Its the same story each time for the suns, I don't know if its different for other teams.

Baldwin is basically LeBron in this game.

Since you had Baldwin im guessing you have the same "version" as me. And after watching a few Youtubers play, its safe to say that its the same storyline for all teams. I hired the Son, but saw even if you turn him down that the Owner still hires him anyways. Looks like 2K took the lazy way out and a lot of the choices arnt really choices as they have to move the story arc along its already pre-determined path instead of having actual different storylines based on your decisions.

I took baldwin in the first one, he and JJ didnt play well together.
Second one I took petrovic and JJ developed better than the first version. Petro is a beast for me too, 25, 13, 3.

Killing Ground. It's an Australian Horror movie that's not jump-scare horror but more in the line of something like The Strangers.

Funny Games was good and along those lines too. High Tension is maybe my favorite. As Above, So Below was pretty decent. The Void was good too but holy hell was I grossed out by the end.

Yeah, most love it or hate it. I wouldn't say I loved it, but I found enough entertainment to make it worthwhile. There are some things it could have done without though.

Thanks for the replies. I decided to give Rob Zombie's movies a shot, watched house of 1000 corpses, made no sense to me whatsoever. But I think i'll watch the devil's rejects too.

To be fair, I went after I had been out for a while and had a few drinks on Sunday, so the action sequences being super choppy/cgi'd just really started to bum me out.

Not a movie, but this was pretty good. Season 2 started last week.

Return to Phoenix Suns
