NBA 2K22 on Nintendo Switch

Another 2K sports game that I picked up lately has arrived today. It was just a download code in the box with an empty game card slot, which was a bit disappointing. It meant another hefty download to my 512 GB SD card, which is over 70% full at this point with only 153 GB of space available. I already own this game on PS4 (it was the first one I bought after getting a console), but hey the price was right and it won't hurt to have an option to play this on a handheld too.

After work I played a basketball game on PS4 in NBA 2K23. My Pelicans beat Cavs 50:23. Zion Williamson, on whom I was focusing offensively, recorded 29 points converting 14 of 26 attempts (he could not shoot from range efficiently), 3 rebounds (I expected a better result here to be honest), and 3 assists. He recorded 5 dunks, just like real-life Zion would most likely. Kira Lewis Jr. did not play: my decision. It's heartbreaking I know, but it is what it is.

Sadly my copy of Ghost World by Daniel Clowes, which was scheduled for delivery today, did not come. It is still in status: Delivery today. There will be an update on this one via email later today most likely. I'm thinking about recording a gameplay video of Aleksej Pokusevski shooting threes in practice in 2K24. For all normal people as interesting as watching the paint dry, but I think it's a fun video idea. This way I could use one of my HDMI capture cards and showcase some gameplay content. It would be my first attempt at that kinda thing. I think I'm gonna do this soon. Now it's time to continue 2K23's Jordan Challenge.

I put together my own team in My League mode of NBA 2K23. It consists of Kemba Walker, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Latrell Sprewell, Robert Parish, Arvydas Sabonis, Tony Parker, Marcus Camby, Dennis Rodman, Kevin Willis, Wally Szczerbiak, Lonnie Walker IV, Scot Pollard, and Keith Van Horn with long socks on. I lost my first game, but in the second one the chemistry was there, our shots were falling and we defeated the Bill Russell's Orlando Magic 59:46. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf scored 20 points making 9 out of 22 attempts (two of those were threes). I owe this win largely to my big men, who kept many plays alive by securing the rebounds and putbacks.

I'm a 35-year-old casual gamer from Poland, who rediscovers gaming after a 10-year break. The last game I completed was Max Payne 3 on PC back in 2015. Recently (late 2024) I purchased a new PlayStation 4 console. I also own a Nintendo Switch Lite (pink version, bought in 2019) and Switch OLED, which I got two weeks ago in Amsterdam, where I was on vacation. I'm an IT Engineer by trade and BWA Games & Collectibles is how I'd name a game shop business that I wish to start with my friend WojTech when I retire from IT. I'd like to share my interest in console gaming on this blog. Hopefully I'm not gonna abandon it after just a few entries. This remains to be seen. I'm also into collectibles, NBA cards to be specific. I started my collection 12 years ago and I've been growing it (on and off) to this day. Yesterday I bought two new cards on Ebay: Aleksej Pokusevski (OKC Thunder) and autographed Elfrid Payton (G-League's Mad Ants).

Nostalgia strikes back: American Splendor by Harvey Pekar

Image
My copy of The New American Splendor Anthology by Harvey Pekar just came in the mail. 300 pages of Harvey's trademark gloom and doom from off the streets of Cleveland. It's an amazing book and I can't wait to read it all. Pekar's stories are illustrated by various artists, but it's all quality art. I learned about Harvey Pekar and Robert Crumb from the 2003 movie starring Paul Giamatti and Hope Davis. Their performances are stellar and the story is engaging. I really dig that movie man. In the late 00s I used to download movies with eDonkey2000 (it could literally take days for the download to complete with low-bandwidth Internet connection of ours) and burn them on CDs to play on the TV screen. Luckily our DVD player supported CD-R and DivX, so it opened up possibilities for me. I could immerse in American movies and shows, which were far superior to Polish ones. It is safe to say that that was how I learned English, because at school it was just boredom and poin...

Nostalgia and giving back

Image
My first ever gaming experience was with Superfrog and Prince of Persia on Amiga 600 in the early nineties. I recall that it was my cousin's Christmas present, and we had pirated copies of those games on floppies. Superfrog was so much fun back then. We spent hours progressing through levels, collecting coins, and shooting down bees. Amazing classic. Lately I had an opportunity to give back to the family member, who made my first gaming experience happen. The person who bought the Amiga then received a special gift from me in return. After approximately 30 years since they made my first gaming experience possible I put together a special gift for them. After noticing their interest in my Switch and some of the games I decided to buy them their own system and games. I bought a navy blue Nintendo Switch Lite with Integral's 128 GB memory card and red Tech Gear's case. I also got three games, which they enjoyed playing when we last met: Stray, Untitled Goose Game, and Need for...
