What's The Difference Between Live & Crack Cocaine? NOTH

Okay, I'm convinced that NBA Live is equivalent to or worse than crack cocaine. Here's my story, please don't think any less of your boy Dre....

I just knew that I would be able to get my hands on a copy of NBA Live today as opposed to tomorrow, I woke up this morning on a mission. I knew that I was off today and would be able to start my manhunt right after class, but I didn't anticipate all the troubles I would have.

First off I met this girl about two months ago at the park, pretty little thing with short hair and petite body. Nice smile and an infectious laugh, problem was our schedules always conflicted when it came to hooking up. So, what happens? Just as I'm brushing my teeth this morning and thinking about what feature I'd try first when I got this game, the phone rings. Why did I pick it up??? It was HER, and she wants to hook up today!

Now, she's a lighter version of actress Jada Pinkett with a body that won't quit so I didn't want to mess this up. B-b-b-but NBA Live! So now, I'm conflicted. I don't want to tell her no and then I can't even get the game, I would have been mad at myself. But then, I didn't want to say yes and before we hooked up I'd be able to get the game. What to do? I told her, yeah, it's a date.

So my day goes as it normally does but when class is over I tear out of the building like I'm running through hell with gasoline drawers on! I go to school in Manhattan so it gives me alot of places to scour for my beloved drug called NBA Live. No dice! I'd then resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn't be getting this game. Tis cool, there's always tomorrow and IU have an exciting night lined up anyway...

So I come back home, clean up, vacuum, dust, get the potpourri popping and when I was done got on the cpu to do some posting here. Why did I do that? The more I posted and read, the more I got fidgety. I HAD to have this game or I'd bust a cap in somebody! Then all of a sudden I click on one of the threads and read a post where a member says that Electronic Boutique told him they would have it today by 6:00PM, that was the only place I hadn't checked!

I call EB feverishly while looking at take-out menus for my rendevous later (I'm a microwave man.. ), damn, phone's busy! But I remain undaunted, I simply have to know. Finally I get through and the lady over the telephone says that it'll be there in an hour! OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG! The mall is about 50 minutes from my apartment and I have no car, not to mention it is pouring rain in NYC right now as I type this. I got off the phone looked at myself in the mirror and deliberated for about a millisecond about my dilemma, I knew then what I had to do......

"*groan*, *groan*, *cough*, Hi Elise? Yeah *cough*, it's Dre. Listen I wont be able to hook up tonight, *groan* I think I caught something.....NO, NO, DON'T COME OVER! I JUST NEED SOME REST! *ahem* I mean, I'm just going to get some sleep but I'll be thinking about you....Yeah, I feel bad too love, I'll call you tomorrow.....Bye.

No time to be ashamed of myself, I've got to get to the mall! Well, I can't find an umbrealla and I'm tearing my place apart looking for one...PHUCK IT, I can't chance that this game sells out! So I leave sans the umbrella....

The bus takes forever, the price you have to pay when you live in Brooklyn and don't wish to live next to thugs and drugs. Only one bus runs through my area and it's slower than Mark Jackson.....Oh-oh, now it's really pouring and I'm getting drenched....Where's that damn bus???.....

I get off the bus in front of the mall and almost run into the entrance, I'm soaking wet because I had to wait 42 minutes for that crummy public transportation. When I finally get to EB there is a zig-zag line going out of the store! I just know by looking at these dudes that they are there for the same thing I'm there for! OH NO, what do I do? I go up to the "line" and tell the dudes to line up neatly against the wall and they will be served in a timely fashion. They look at me like I'm crazy at first and actually listen to me. I move into the store and it's a mad house in there. there's only one lady on the register (who I spoke to on the phone) and one guy, a stock boy.

I get to the register and tell her that I'm there for my copy that I reserved yesterday, she looks in the cpu doesn't see my name but just rolls her eyes looks at me suspiciously and asks me "for what console?" XBOX! Man when I saw her open that glass case and pull out that game, I never thought I'd be so happy to see Carmelo Anthony, I felt like La La!. I ran out of that store passed the dudes clutching that EB bag like a newborn infant, laughing to myself at my cunning. I felt like Brain from the cartoon Pinky and the Brain, BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHA!....

Well, it was another 30 minute wait for the bus, I'm dripping wet with my bald head gleaming and my Timberlands ruined but I'm on cloud nine...Somewhere along the ride en route back to my house I come to a realization. Wait a minute here, I'm a GROWN MAN. What's wrong with me? the absurdity of my actions hit me with full force, I'm a freaking CRACKHEAD! Did I really just pick a videogame over NEW Pu**Y?And to get in in the rain no less? With no car or even an umbrella to speak of? Sure, when the release date was originally scheduled for my birthday I had plans to ditch another chick by faking sick, but we've been "together" for over a year on and off. This was taking it to whole other level altogether man, I became more than a bit embarrassed with myself......

After taking time to reflect on this for 6 seconds, I quickly got over it and ripped off the plastic so I could read the instruction booklet! Sometimes you just have to accept what you are and go with the flow, you know?

I've already popped it in before this post and I'll post impressions tomorrow! PEACE!

Video games over sex. Damn man, how'd you do it? I've had sex before video games; sex, video games, and then more sex. In fact, I even tried combining the two. But choosing electronics over girls...man, I didn't think it could be done. Props and enjoy the game. I'll be getting mine tomorrow.

thats my brooklyn boii!!(what mall man..Kings Plaza?...wut happened to Game Crazy)

but honestly....how come you chose GAME OVER GIRL...man oh man..could never do it..but its all good!

Edit: Your post in that thread..."who ever has it sign here" got me SOO nervous! Your like "I got live...but it wasnt a pinic to get it". Im thinking yoru getting it at Gamecrazy, like you said you were, wich ment it was hard to get it...and that's wehre Im getting it..so im freaking out.

EDIT:. NVM

Hey, good for you Dre! Women are nothin' but trouble, not ONE of them can understand a man wanting to sit there and play 82 games, and sign agents, and trade, and scout rookies for hours and hours.

WOMEN VS VIDEO GAMES....I remember when the Kobe case came up, I remember the first thought I had was he should have stuck to video games. Since it always said in interviews that he plays games instead of drinking and night lifing. Not that all girls are out to get you, but hey, at least the game follows some sort of LOGICAL PATTERN unlike most women, hahaha.

I won't have the game for a while, two or three days even! It's a long time to wait two or three hours when you feel like we feel about the game. I have a pretty elaborate plan for getting to play it UNDISTURBED, hahaha.

PS: Who are the FREE AGENTS and what are their ratings?

And the best thing about LIVE 05 is that it looks and sounds the same as LIVE 04 when you are playing regular five on five. So family and people around won't really notice that I slip deeper into this addiction, it's like the same thing to them.

I HAD to have this game or I'd bust a cap in somebody!

Any Live game would look and sound the same to the untrained eye

Especially this year though, with same voices of MARV ALBERT and the czar, and with the same basic graphics engine.

hahah, that's funny. MUST HAVE MY PRECIOUSSSSSSSSSS
