This is actually not a happy story. So I shouldn't be like that excited You know, I should I need to tone it down a little bit one of the goats the OGs in the NBA 2k community Shaking bakers in the news because he posted a video the other day just about done with NBA 2k It was literally titled. I am done with NBA 2k 20 my team. Here's why and in this 17 minute video He goes on to explain this one. I'm sick of spending money on packs I really am and you know, that's bad because I literally make money From doing it and I just cannot bring myself to do it right now. It's terrible It's really bad bro. Every time I do a pac-man. First of all, I feel like it's the same free time It's like you either a you pull the cards and you get really lucky or B You don't pull and that's most of the time and it's like, okay, this video sucks And I'm just complaining. No one wants to hear that it's boring and I just wasted, you know, a hundred two hundred three hundred dollars You know, however many dollars you spend on packs, bro And it's not just not a regular content creator. Shaking bakers been creating 2k videos since my team started Like at the origin of the game mode and so he's one of the OGs I saw this video is alarming. He followed up on Twitter saying this the amount of people going out of their way to be rude to me because I Stop uploading their favorite video games quite sad. I just feel bad like you must be miserable as to go to these efforts, man LD2k responded to him saying make content that makes you feel creatively fulfilled always We haven't always seen eye-to-eye in the past but always want people to create things that make them happy Thanks, my guy. I'm feeling pretty great this week. I'm definitely in a better mindset than in the past few Appreciate you showing love to Jay earlier, too You're doing great LD2k briefly mentioned that they weren't always seen eye-to-eye like three four years ago There was some drama between LD. I'm not gonna get into that And so for the past couple weeks shaking bakers not been uploading my team and I fully understand why he's been doing it for like Seven years now man y'all get tired of a game in like four months, right most games He been doing it for seven years. Yeah, I could see why he's exhausted. He's just tired of it Maybe he just wants a break. I do hope at some point though He comes back cuz it does suck to see him go like he's uploading animal crossing on his channel right now And that's a game that I've made fun of for the entirety of my life that I'm just now realizing that people actually enjoy On separate my team news Troy Dan was a little bit frustrated with the state of my team He put out this tweet my team desperately needs a ranked mode Well not with my team but with really any mode ranked modes make every game more fun Like on Call of Duty Warzone just the fact that they have a leaderboard has me hooked right now I'm ranked top 1% in warzone if they didn't have a leaderboard if I couldn't compare myself to the top Whatever percent then I wouldn't be nearly as interested to play I agree with you on this one Troy. It might get me into my team I used to play 5v5 competitively on game battles and virgin gaming on all those amateur ladders That was so much fun for me when you take the competition out and it just becomes a very casual across the board I lose interest me personally, but that doesn't mean the NBA 2k is down bad because if you watched the last couple drumlets You know they broke records in terms of sales for NBA 2k 20 But things turned up a notch a few days ago when they released the Opal bull bull like you know the giant mammoth of a player that's seven foot seven or whatever But he also has like an 80 speed now It was top trending on Twitter with 70k tweets and for those of you who use Twitter You know just how impressive that is a user on Twitter by the name of DBG put out this tweet saying bull bull stats and badges Basically a galaxy opal thon maker whose two inches taller the best card in the set by far and he linked to his stats Man, how could you have a player this tall with an 80 acceleration 79 speed with ball 80 speed? God damn man It's driving Duncan 85 like if you get a hand on this car, bro is game set match done So there was some people excited that 2k was crazy enough to try something like this because it's gonna be fun But there was other people arguing you just ruin the game mode by unleashing an unstoppable player that no one's gonna Be capable of defending RJ Watts gave his input on Twitter saying they gave bull bull at 80 speed and 83 Handles here. It's pre-greek. Just not at the one And yeah, he linked to the stats here as well. Jesus man. What was 2k thinking? So then you might be thinking a my team is getting all this content. How about us people over at the park? So solo DF put out this tweet on Twitter Basically saying shout out 2k because they put out this funny ad in the neighborhood practice vertical social distancing Which I'm not gonna lie. It's kind of funny. Whoever thought of that creative LD 2k responded to this saying yes They're team working on more events for you all to can you tell us if we will get another Puma mania or something like that event? We will keep you updated via 2k TV with all events as the team works on them flex emoji So I made a video a week ago concerned that I thought we was gonna get zero content And I hope some of these are new events or just some new stuff in the park But it's at least we don't feel absolutely abandoned that they're actually gonna continue to drop some rotation of events Cool for the story of the day Ladies and gentlemen Overtime TW has now ended for those of you who don't know about like four or five months ago TW the group including cold man hate the tank and a few other notable figures in the NBA 2k community joined Overtime which is like basketball focused media entity online and the whole point of it was to just make group Content and I guess yeah just just make content They moved into a house together in Miami with the new overtime TW headquarters And we're hearing now that apparently their relationship has ended breeze was the first to post on Twitter saying this I will never make the mistake of working for someone else again. My whole life. I've been my own boss It's time to get back to that. I'd rather bet on myself. I don't need anyone else betting on me OT was a short chapter, but it's time to turn the page with my boys by my side hashtag peace out OT Hank gave his two cents never working for a boss again. Lol I wasted so much time for literally no reason that I could have spent grinding my own channel later OT Peace sign emoji cold a man put out a flurry of tweets He said work hard and become your own boss. I'll never work for anyone So the overtime TW official Twitter account gave their own little statement wishing them the best of luck and saying that the Relationship has now ended. This is big news for a variety of different reasons. It's the first time that Industry even though overtime is not industry industry like mainstream, but industry took a chance on Content creators at least in the NBA 2k sphere. So for the most part me I have my eyes on it to see how it's gonna perform Unfortunately in this situation for reasons they haven't explained in these tweets the relationship didn't work out But the even more unfortunate part of that is that they're gonna have to find a new place to live While all this crazy stuff is going on around them It's gonna be hard to find some real estate, especially when you're young and I assume most of them have a lot of money They're gonna think you're like a dealer or something man. Trust me. I've been through it So it's gonna be difficult to lock down a home. So it's incredibly even more unfortunate It's a topic that me and Lowe dive real deep into just talking like real Straightforward about what it's like behind the scenes and why we think this played out the way that it played out I'm gonna leave a link to our podcast in the description. It should be out either today or tomorrow So be subscribed for that. But hey, that's the wishes to the OT boys Oh, I guess they're not OT anymore. That's the wishes to the TW guys I actually don't know if they're even TW anymore. They haven't clarified that simply grinding Put out a tweet on Twitter saying over time really ended time to combine TW and DF and make the next super team Over time TW has ended and no, this isn't fake beef We're gonna keep our heads up and keep pushing forward still trying to figure out what's the next step I'm super excited about the future. Love all you guys with the little hearts Cool man followed up announcing that he's moving back to Georgia, which is where he's originally from So he's leaving Florida to return here probably because like this where a lot of his friends growing up are his family is growing up And it's where he's most likely most most most comfortable. I don't know why I paraphrase. I really could have just read his tweet but whatever for Story of the day ladies and gentlemen The MEA 2k community has been on fire a little bit recently because both Troy dead and cash got together to put put together an all-star team up event reached out to a whole bunch of different content creators including age zero himself and hosted the event Yesterday on both twitch and youtube. This was one of the biggest things that a content creator has No, just flat out. This is one of the biggest things in mba 2k history just in terms of viewership Last time we seen something this exciting was when ticino came to north america and started to Wager against all the north american content creators. So how it went down was cash and troi uploaded the draft on their channels They drafted amongst the pool of players available And then we played a best of three on all-star team up It was a lot of fun like so much fun between everybody combined It was a lot of like 75 000 people watching live champ. Uh, somehow got the screenshots here He said over 77 000 people are watching the game of 2k on youtube and twitch The following are streaming and playing and he dropped some screenshots. Here. We have troi down pulling 31 000 Which is absolutely Unheard of in 2k. I pulled 14 000 cash was doing 26 over on twitch Even annoying was pulling 4 000 It was so cool to see the entire community come together and you knew it was intense because none of us wanted to lose It was a lot of being talked back and forth And so to see the event do so well the most fun I have playing 2k in a while It was a big event in 2k history So it was huge shout outs to both troi and cash for helping put it together Troi's video of this dream that eventually went live on his channel went number three trending on all of youtube Think about that but amongst all the excitement in the event and not wanting to lose by the way We did win the event man. I don't know what to tell you man. We did win There was some toxicity in the chat troi that I wanted to address said toxicity He posted this on twitter you guys in the comments replies are being super toxic to lows for no reason It's a goddamn video game for fun in the community. It's not that serious. I'm glad he came out He's one of the most entertaining guys in the community, which is facts Los is on the other team, but from what I was told there was so much toxicity that at the end of the game Los just left the discord and quit the game now granted. He didn't perform great. Who cares? They didn't put together a collection of the best players. They just chose funny content creators They thought was gonna make for entertaining streams and videos So lay off los man and the funny thing is he could probably beat most of y'all at the game Okay, maybe I'm pushing it. Maybe I might be pushing it a little bit for My goodness some NBA players is taking serious shots at NBA 2k gary and fox put out this tweet on twitter 2k is a trash game. That's why we don't want to stream it crying laughing emoji Shrug emoji. He's saying this in response to people in his chat asking him to stream NBA 2k It's no secret that since the NBA is not going on right now A lot of the NBA players are looking for things to do plenty of them like jerry and fox Uh carlunty towns, I think devon booker are all streaming call of duty 2k or whatever the game is So while they're streaming those games, they're asking them. Yo, why aren't you why aren't you streaming 2k? jerry and fox had to say then he kind of started a whirlwind because God forbid any NBA players is something about 2k. Everybody has something to say about it Donovan Mitchell quote tweeted him with the l jerry and fox replied law. Don't get it twisted I'm still nice at it. But even the people that get paid to play it. Don't like it Hey, it's a 2k 20 is not the game, man It can be fun like all start team up. We just had a blast. But hey, man, we broke our fair share of controllers Ronnie 2k he had to get himself involved because why else wouldn't he he replied saying this I may have a way you can all settle this stay tuned Now, I don't think he had a way to settle this but Ronnie 2k did eventually play donovan Mitchell on his live stream So that happened But they really end up settling it probably because deer and fox said no I don't want to play that garbage as game mike scott responded to deer and fox's original tweet saying no for real John moran quote tweeted deer and fox's original tweet with a whole lot of crying laughing emojis and a shrug emoji for Story of the day Game stop is bugging ladies and gentlemen a couple weeks ago when the ronnie was getting pretty serious and everybody was locking down Etc. Game stop refused because they were declaring that they are essential business They're not you're a video game store It's not really that essential Especially that we could just buy the games online But game stop didn't think so so they kept their stores open which created a whole bunch of legal hassle across the country I understand game stop is very close to going out of business and every few months are closing dozens of stores And it's on rotation and we don't know when the bleeding is gonna stop So if they have to close down all their stores, there's a good chance they might not make it out the other side There's a tweet here that um, I found interesting hobby lobby owner David green is telling store managers to stay open despite because his wife had a vision from god He also warns they'll all have to tighten their belts soon His net worth is 6.4 billion Hourly employees don't get paid sick leave So he's trying to force people to work at game stop even though it's not essential business But then when they inevitably had to close down because that's what the law said He's like no i'm not gonna pay none of y'all and I understand it a little bit because if he did have to pay them He probably had a business next month But at the same time it's kind of just laughable that somebody could be that delusional and lack innovation to that degree So if you were a huge fan of game stop or eb games growing up It might be time to just say a final goodbye because I actually don't know how much longer they're gonna be able to stay in business It seemed like they just keep taking more and more hits I'm gonna keep it a beam with you I go there from time to time to buy like random things like ps3 controllers because they have them everywhere So it's usually the closest place for me to buy something like that So it will be kind of sad to see him go but also they scan me a bunch of time So it'll be kind of happy to see him go as well Although it'll be kind of sad that a lot of people lose their jobs. They scan me before So I'll just gonna be kind of happy at the same time. You know what I mean? So um, that's it for the news ladies and gentlemen. If you guys are new to the channel you haven't already subscribe We dropped these. I don't know whenever there's enough news. Thank you guys for watching I'm gonna catch you guys in the next video. I'm going to leave now because I'm sweating under this fedora. It's hot peace
