Bitter
Posted on October 7, 2009 at 08:43 PM.
Man oh man the 2k boards got some bitter folk on there. A lot of them are the guys who have been around for years and years. Jumping on everything.

I know I will have to put a lot time in this game to get it playable for me but at least 2k gives us the option to tweak the game to our liking. That is all I ask of companies.

No More Xbox 360
Posted on September 18, 2009 at 05:28 AM.
I am giving my little brother my Xbox 360. My parents just got divorced and he is moving to a new school. He likes playing shooters and other games like that so I figure I would give him it since he would use it far more than I do.

I am a PC gamer. Maybe I buy a PS3 soon. Maybe not.

Dr. King's Day
Posted on January 19, 2009 at 06:44 PM.
Tomorrow a man will be elected into the Oval Office, who like Dr. King has become the watermark for America’s race relations. He is that check in the book that we can take a deep breath, pat each other on the back and feel alright about America.


I have to wonder though is this why he will be remembered? Not his actions as a leader but because he got voted in. The first. The first to be accepted by the most people in the most populous of states. The first to get 25% of whiteys.


Dr. King is a figure that has become an icon. Most folk, black or white, don’t know a damn thing about the man. About what he stood for, about what he did, about his message. Not the message about his dream, it was the message he spent the last five years of his life working on.


Dr. King’s holiday has become a holiday about a dream.
Dreams are wonderful. But we all know when we are dreaming we really don’t think about what it takes to achieve a dream. The misconception about Dr. King is that he only gave great speeches, he only talked about black and white.


The thing we miss on this holiday was he wasn’t just talking about a dream. Yes he was the philosopher but he was also the leader. He was forming plans - studying, analyzing, organizing and finally acting. When he did talk he was preaching about how to achieve this dream….


This focus on the dream is unfortunate because it took 40 years until a man with his hue would be our elected leader. While our government actively worked against Dr. King and his followers, Barack Obama is the decision maker of that government now. Mr. Obama has been accepted by America in his own time, something Dr. King was very far from achieving. Not because of his dream but because of his action.


Tomorrow morning I am going to be watching the inauguration and I am going to smile. This spring I’m going to go to Washington D.C. and sit down on that lawn and I am going to smile. Every day I am running the courts with brothers yellow, white, black and brown I will be smiling.


The thing I hope for though is in 8 years I have even more to smile about. And in 40 years I hope I don’t need no special days to remember what I was smiling about. And it ain’t about no dream it’s about work.

Xbox 360 Controller Fix for NBA 2k9
Posted on November 17, 2008 at 11:20 PM.
For those of you that are used to the Xbox 360 controls this fix will allow you to use the triggers like they are for the Xbox 360. Basically it disables the problem encountered with the triggers not being able to be pressed at the same time.

Go here and download a program called xbcd
  • Run the Exe you downloaded. It is a simple install.
  • Then once you have it installed find the program (on vista you can access the exe in control panel it is called XBCD Setup Utility)
  • Open XBCD utility up and then go to Windows (second tab)
  • Then on the column entitled Z uncheck the box next to on. This will allow the left and right trigger to be pressed simultaneously in game.
  • Click apply, then save.
  • Now go load NBA 2k9 and fix the buttons to your liking (when you assign the left and right triggers it should be button 11 and 12 instead of saying Z axis, that is how you know you did everything right).
  • In game the triggers should be able to work just like on the Xbox 360. Triple threat should work etc....

Hope it works. I have Vista so if this version of XBCD doesn't work do a search to find XP. This isn't my program I just searched online for awhile and figured it out so asking me detailed questions I probably won't be able to help much.

I still can't do the hesitation as well and other isomotions are not working but I am running this on a slow PC. This does at least give you the triple threat stuff and doesn't rack your brain if you are a long time Xbox 2k basketball player.

Peace,
J.R.

This new Operation Sports design is confusing the hell out of me.
