Alright, in the VORK thread (RIP Vork, for now), The convo shifted from VORK to the nice members. This jumpstarted an idea in my head: Who are my favorite 2KU members?

So without further delay...

@Boban: Just an all around chill guy. I don't think I've seen him go at it with another user once. He's also 7'4" (jk). Do you really think I was gonna leave him off the list and risk getting grabbed by my head effortlessly?

@jdealla: The God himself. Put this whole thing together, obviously he's gonna be on my favorites list. Is also a bodybuilder on the side and will launch you into the sun with one touch lmao.

@RodSquad: Arguably one of the funniest dudes on the site. He can bring a dead thread to life in seconds. Can (and usually will) get on your ass in a heartbeat, just like OGxSuave. Never try to beef with him, because you won't win.

@11wakawaka: One of the OG's. First person I had a convo with on a 2K forum, so he's obviously on here.

@Sssnaps: When he's chill, he's fun to talk to. When he's goes eccentric, ngl it becomes less tolerable, but he's still pretty fun to talk to. Still hilarious either way

@QuantumKat: Chill guy, super fun to talk to. No more needs to be said. Well, besides the fact that he single-handedly created the Quantum set in 2K.

@Rsande64: If you don't think he is the nicest member on the site, you must've been living under a rock. NICEST. GUY. ON. THE. SITE. Can also send you into orbit with one push.

@Mkopli: Does not miss with his created cards. They are on the money every single time.

@Shinostique: Another one of the funniest guys on the site. Super chill, easily one of the nicest people here.

@OGxSuave: I gave him the nickname "Flamethrower" for a reason. One wrong word and he will light you the fuck up lmao.

@DORTtheFORT: You know I couldn't leave the FORT off this list. One of the more mature members of the Under 18 club.

@StoutBaker: Before he went on hiatus, the #firebrooks campaign was going strong. And it was pretty hilarious. Hope he comes back soon.

@adobo: Adobo chicken himself . Just joking, Really chill guy, nice to talk to.

@errolzzz: This man right here? In the running for funniest guy on the site. Great at making captivating threads (and thread titles).

@nddot: Those thecoli faces get me all the time. Another chill guy that I've never seen get into it with anyone. Well, maybe he did, but I don't remember it, so...yeah lmao.

@SG24: Probably the most chill mod, imo. He comes into a thread, lurks a bit, upvotes a few posts, might say a little sentence, and then he'll dip. In that order lmaooooo.

@Lavish-Speck: Another guy who went on hiatus. His thread commentary was hilarious. I miss getting on and seeing him say something, at least.

@EarvGotti: One of the 2 (maybe 3, counting @jdealla) guys I'd rather not see in 2K. EVER. Beast on the sticks. Would probably make me rage quit in about 2 minutes

@tsunamiwaves: The other guy I'd rather not ever see in 2K. Him and Earv would whoop me by about 40 lmao.

@LuckyKid: One of the chillest of the chill. Easy to talk to, fun loving guy. Arguably the 2nd nicest guy on the site.

@Ciaran_Marr: Locker code master, probably the 3rd nicest guy on the site. He also enjoys hanging with friends, so there's that lol.

@ItsMeCaiden: Its Him, Caiden. Lol. Metcalf Stan is a chill guy. When he does decide to talk (lol), he's nice to talk to because he always has something interesting to say.

@BEASTMODER34: You already know I had to add a fellow Upvote Avenger to this list. How would I not? I got 26,195 2KUMT, and I guarantee at least almost half of them came from him.

@yeetboi21: Doesn't talk much nowadays, but his cards are CLEAN ASF. Besides that, he's a pretty chill guy.

@jase: He used to be shoeless, but he has since found them lol. MyTeam knowledge is almost unparalleled (jdebuffa, Dashiki QK, arcas, and some others that I can't really think of are up there with him) and I am 1000% certain that he has some kind of weird sixth sense that tells him stuff about MyTeam. Idk. Still want to know where and how he found his shoes.

@Manulous: Embiid Stan/Bold Housewife of Matisse. I get a lot of thread inspiration from him (prime example: his Blind Fanboyism Thread, and my Blind Haterism Thread).

@12th: The 12thFloor has been added. Is normally chill and pretty hilarious, but if you piss him off, it's a wrap. Say goodnight, buddy.

Honorable Mentions:

• @harpyeagle72 (Gets super spammy in dm's, but he's still pretty hilarious)

• @atgalex (Never knew what atg actually stands for, but his MyTeam knowledge is excellent)

• @YOSEMITE_HAM (Jokic/Murray/MPJ Stan, NJJ (Nikola Jokic Jr.), JMJ (Jamal Murray Jr.), MPIII (Michael Porter III) )

• @Kobe6Rings (Easily a thread master, cuz this man got a thread to like 2k posts)

• @KingTy (Probably has one of my favorite pfps)

• @element (Lil Ment', courtesy of Suave lol, excellent 2K knowledge)

• @OGxSnowman (Let's hope he never melts, because we need him to keep it up with the MLB giveaways)

• @Clarke_Griffin (Cyberpunk Horse has some of the most hilarious commentary I've ever seen lol)

• @CrackaByDaGram (I will never be able to take him seriously as long as he has that pfp lol, but that aside, dude is hilarious)

• @TheGodfather (The GODFATHER himself. He doesn't talk as much as I thought he would, but when he does talk, it's a sight to behold. One of the only dudes that I know that talks almost exclusively in gifs)

• @HollygroveMikey (Beware when he goes full troll, because it is NOT a pretty sight to behold. For reference, look in the VORK thread)

• @ND13 (As with atgalex, I still have no clue what the ND is for. Or the 13, for that matter lol)

• @Thebay1 (Also has one of my favorite pfps, is one of the most chill guys on the site)

Edit: two more were brought to my attention that I almost forgot.

• @holygrail22 (Takes the tough love approach when it comes to MyTeam advice, but it's pretty helpful)

• @Kaubel (I'd say he has the coolest pfp, but I'd get a bit of backlash, so I won't say that, but I will say that he has one of the coolest pfps)

2nd Edit: Damn it.

• @cannabiscorpse (He smokes, and he's deceased. Do I need to continue further?)

• @CantGetRight (Apparently, he CAN get right, in MyTeam, at least)

• @kmart (His name is the nickname of one of the highest overall players on my team, K-Mart, so he's gets a favorite just for that. Well, that along with his thread commentary lol)

• @DocSmith (We have to help him get more rep. It's too low right now)

I know it's a long ass list, I'm sorry lol.

@Rsande64, I have done what I thought was unthinkable.

I have made life bend to my will.

I honestly thought I would've been gone longer, but nope. I kicked life's ass, rode back to SC for a few weeks (I'm still here), made some cards, played some KOF XIII and NBA 2K12, and here we are.

Basically, what I'm saying is this:

The King...is back.

Well...This wasn't how I wanted to go out...but so be it.

I get out of school next week (the 25th), so that means I won't be as active on 2KU over the summer. Now, that doesn't mean I'm gonna NOT get on the site at all, it just means I won't be speaking as much as I have been.

I'm gonna take some time away from 2KU to get my life figured out (school work/grades, basketball ambitions, home life, etc.), and then I'll come back and jump right into 2K talk with you guys. I'll still lurk every now and then, and I might post a reply or two, but I won't be super active like I have been in recent weeks.

With that said, starting probably today or tomorrow (most likely the latter), I'm not going to be posting anything.

So. Here we are, at the end of this post. Don't really know what else to say, except...

For The U. Thank you. Until I return.

I'll leave you all with a quote.

"If you're brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello." - Paulo Coelho

I figured I might as well drop this off for y'all.

Yes, I am playing on XB360 right now. Sue me lol

This is my attempt to diffuse today's arguments lol.

Are there any users you've given a nickname to?

I've got a few. Well, more like a lot.

@nd13 said in Under 18 Club is looking for more users!:

@juicy-j-8787 yeah there’s a lot of them because a lot of people came from 2kmtc

And a lot of them need to go back.

Guys...we gotta get it together.

Or rather, some of us need to get it together.

There have been several moments of people in this group dropping the ball recently.

We have to get it together. When the older guys decide to move on from the U (which, tbh, I doubt they will), we will responsible for the future of the site. We must lead the new generation of 2K players. It'll be up to us to show them the way.

But that's where the problem lies: How can we do that if we're uncoordinated and constantly dropping the ball?

We ain't leading shit right now, not with the way some of the members are acting. I don't know if it's the fact that we all have pretty high reps, or that we're pretty respected around the site, but regardless, we gotta figure it out, one way or another.

So to my fellow NKOTB: Get your shit, put it in a bag, and get it together.

I had to make this. @Sssnaps has been going crazy on this ruby rep mission thing. It just felt appropriate that he get a thread just like @BEASTMODER34 did. I don't think I'll be getting a thread yet, though. I've got to finish my upvote mission, so I'll leave this thread to you guys lol.

He meant these lmaooooooooooooo

If there's someone or something that you want to pray for, come do it here.

I'mma start it off. @BigJosher15 got some stuff going on right now, so I'm wishing and praying for nothing but the best for him

I'll also take this opportunity to pray for everyone on the site. Y'all have made this an incredible (and quite funny) experience, so thank you. I hope God keeps his hands on all of us

I see that the team chemistry is absolutely fucking immaculate.

@notsmithboys1, I see your reasoning, but here's mine:

If I say "maybe" to someone, then usually, they know I mean I might do something, I might not. I don't have to say "maybe not" because they (should) know "maybe" is already a neutral answer that indicates that whatever it is that you're talking about has a 50% chance of being done.

Just my view on it.

(P.S., Remind me to never try to use this Vita for 2KU ever again lol. It's harder to type on this than it is on a phone.)

So yesterday, I asked my neighbor (1-2 years younger than me) is maybe and maybe not meant the same thing. He said no. So I asked my other neighbor (also 1-2 years younger than me), and he said YES.

What's your opinion? Who's right in this situation?

Personally, I say they do.

I was rusty as HELL playing 2K last night. Out here shooting 4/10 in park. I have never shot that badly in park, not even ONCE. Mind you, I have HOF badges and shooting boosts. Add that plus a 92 three, and I should make every shot, right? NOPE. 4/10. 2/6. 2/7.

Really, 2K? Really?

So then, I was just like "fuck it." and tried to play some TTO. Tight game, had 98 Lowry and Dirk, 99 IT against 98 Kobe, 89 Thad, and 94 Lamelo. Won 21-19 because my opponent left IT wide open for 3. Opened a pack for whatever reason, pulled 98 Ewing. Immediately went to play Madden. Bopped the Pats 98-20, I believe. Had a perfect passer rating with Mahomes. Got bored, turned off my PS4, and...

Went to bed. End of my short story.

Why do I always miss the spice?

Picked the wrong day to whip out this damn PS Vita lmao

Ehhhh...

I better get something “good”

If you look closely, you can see that I put quotations.

gotta love carti essay posts

Lmao

Also, I'll just assume your girl's name is Katie lol.

Lmaoooo

Random thread, I know. Just wanted to share it with y'all and maybe talk about it.

First up: NBA 2K12

Playing this brought back a lot of memories from when I was little. Obviously, I had to get re-used to shooting without a meter, but once I did, I was making pretty much every shot. I went and made a few players (Giannis, Zion, Trae, Ja, etc.), then I started an Association. Needless to say, a franchise needs to hire me, because I am an excellent GM. I managed to lead GS all the way to the Finals, where we bopped the KD-Harden-Kyrie-led Nets in 5 games. Not to mention, we went 82-0.

Next: King Of Fighters XIII

Initially, I was hesitant to play this. Idk why, I just was. Turns out that I'm actually a certified demon. Out here bopping the AI left and right, doing all kinds of special moves...Until I did the boss fights. When I say those were some of the most rage inducing moments of my life, I'm not joking. Saiki and Dark Ash were mercilessly whooping my ass lol. It only took me 2 tries to beat them (2 tries each), but yeah, those fights were some legit bullshit. However, this game managed to become one of my favorite games of all time. If you haven't played it before, I seriously recommend playing it.

Third: MLB 2K12

Before y'all ask, my brother only has old school XB360 games.

Anyways, with me not being a baseball guy, I didn't know wtf I was doing for like 10 minutes straight. Not gonna say too much else about this game, other than this: I'm pretty good at hitting, but I absolutely SUCK at pitching.

Fourth: COD (WoW-BO3)

World At War: Game is OK, but it cheats way too much. Like, you'll be running, and 0.8 seconds later, you get blown up by a grenade.

Black Ops 1: Goated game, and in my opinion, the best of the BO games. Dead Ops Arcade is extremely fun to play, especially if you play with other people. Campaign got a bit repetitive, but it was so satisfying to get that trophy when I finished it.

Black Ops 2: A bit of a step back from the first, but still pretty good. The POTUS mission was so annoying because I kept getting killed randomly. VERY randomly. Zombies was fun at first, but once I got to round 13, the bullshit began. The zombies were getting blasted with HAMRS, RPDS, and Galils, and were still just eating bullets like it was nothing. If I didn't have the Ray Gun, I would've been fucked.

Black Ops 3: ...I refuse to speak about this monstrosity. Absolute dog shit. Can't do a damn thing on this game.

And last but not least: Fight Night Round 3

First thing that came to mind when I played this? "See, I know you like my swagger, no strap when I come through"

I created a boxer immediately, and started beating ass left and right. Knocked out Ali, Jones Jr., Toney, Holyfield, and some auto generated dude who was apparently my rival and liked to fight dirty. Only Jones Jr. went past round 3.

Overall, I had fun reliving old memories in 2K, kicking ass in FN and KOF, airing out the clip on COD, and whacking the ball into space on MLB.

There were a few more, but this is getting kinda long lol.

Made this today since I'm heading back to GA tomorrow, so I'll finally get to play my PS4 for the first time in over a month.

Evan Shawver? From what I've seen upon deeper research, dude is pretty good.

Didn't have too many appearances on the mound, but he threw 35 strikeouts in 22.2 innings with a 1.59 ERA. Might have to check him out a bit.

Also, I'll just assume your girl's name is Katie lol.
