This has been the most prolific day in Hidden Blog's short history. The swarm of entries has less to do with inspiration than sheer down time. It's a sultry, overcast day in Normal, perfect for a little indoor fun 'n games. So here's a rundown of some game highlights from the last 24 hours.
NBA Live 2006: I used the edit-a-player function of this video game to turn the 7'6" underachiever Shawn Bradley into a godlike monster who dominates every facet of the game. I stuck him on the lowly Atlanta Hawks and crushed the Detroit Pistons 334-167. Once it became clear that it'd be a blowout, I set a secondary goal of doubling the Piston's point total. During a frenzied final minute, the Hawks ran off 13 points, including Bradley's 3-pointer as time expired. For a different challenge, I played a game where Bradley did nothing but shoot 3-pointers. 105 treys and 327 points later, Bradley took a seat among the immortals.
Text Twist: 147,740 points. I timed myself to see how quickly I could get 50,000 points, and pulled it off in 31 minutes. Vocabulary word for the day: divan: a sofa, or a council in the Middle East.
Fantasy Baseball: Pure Hustle IX is facing a run from the 2nd place contender Willman. The lead is 105 - 100.5. In the other league, Test is in a three-way struggle for 2nd place with 81.5 points, in 4th place, 2 points out of 2nd and 15 out of first.
Ultimate Fan Contest: Over 2,700 contestants ended up competing in round 1. There was a semi-finalist chosen from Normal, but my run's over -- at least for this year!
