First year I haven’t pre-ordered NBA2K since 2K11. They are clearly putting all their creativity, innovation, and resources into monetization. Too bad, too. I always liked the series. It’s fun to play with the kids. But enough is enough.

Of course it’s $20. All that superfluous wasteful packaging ain’t cheap, people.

Found the person with a financial stake in Findaspring.com.

Looks like a lot of commenters didn’t spring for the gold plated sarcasm detector.

Right on about the order: front to back, center out, with a handful of pretty easy to navigate exceptions.

Counter-counterpoint: I have rarely been on an escalator designed to accommodate two people across, especially if I’m one of the people.

Yep. And raise it by all the ways he artificially inflated the value of his assets. Valuation is as much about perception as anything else.

Who was it that brought up using shares? Oh yeah:

I always politely decline. It’s not my fault you bought into a pyramid scheme, and I definitely don’t need to enable it.

*I’m not a CPA, but I’m pretty sure you can’t do that.

One more case of, “What did you think was gonna happen?”

While there are flaws in the study, I hope it goes a step toward combating the argument that most people would blow the extra income on Bud Light and PlayStations. It’s part of the whole, “Poor people are only poor because they’re too dumb/lazy/inept not to be,” mythology.
