NBA 2k19: The New World (Introduction)

In April of last year, I launched what proved to be what of my favorite projects ever, The New Millennium, a long term, grand scale simulation, covering an entirely new reality of basketball in NBA 2k19. That series would spill over into my second blog, and ran for 66 episodes, crowning many new legends and reinvigorating my interest in the sport. While I've searched a long time since to recapture the magic of that series, nothing has quite caught fire in the way The New Millennium did. And so, I think it's time to go back to where it all began. Ladies and gentlemen, Henry's World and NBA 2k19 present...........................The New World.

It's October 16th, 2018. You may not know my name, you may have never gazed upon my face, but when all this is over, my legacy will be forever etched in the stars. For many years, I have been perhaps the most notorious oil tycoon on the planet, earning my place in the world with treachery and deceit. Many men chose to defy me, but none will again. Seeking a new challenge, I have arrived to the world of professional basketball, ready to conquer once more.You wouldn't believe how far a few "bonuses" in the right pocket will take you. 


Adam Silver agreed, not like he had much choice, to grant me new ownership in the league, with a new team in my hometown of Las Vegas. But a few donations later, and I had done what no man thought possible, securing six new franchises. My beloved Aces will be joined by the San Diego Surf in the Pacific Division, nothing wrong with a little healthy competition, while the Baltimore Barons joined the Atlantic, the Cincinnati Lions headed to the Central, the Virgina Storm set up shop in the Southeast and I brought basketball back to Vancouver, in the forms of the Ravens in the Northwest. 


My name is Floyd Goldworhty, and I'm about to make basketball my b****.

So there you go, the beginning to a brand new simulation in NBA 2k19, this time set in the modern day at the start of the 2018-2019 season, with six new expansions teams joining the league, all helmed by Floyd Goldworthy. The Las Vegas Aces are the only team I downloaded, while the other five were just using 2k's default selections. All 30 teams already in the NBA were allowed to protect 10 members of their roster, leaving the expansion teams to scoop up the scraps. Check in tomorrow to get a breakdown of what each team looks like heading into their first year of existence. This should be a great new beginning for my blog, and I hope all of you are as excited as I am.

American Dad "Twinanigans" Review

It's been a while since the last Steve and Roger episode, and this week reminded me why that's such a classic American Dad pairing. This is a genuinely fun episode, filled with some great one liners and even a great callback to the show's past. "Twinanigans" centers around the heretofore unmentioned acting careers of Roger and Steve, who twinned it up as the Smith Brothers. I'm not going to question whether this backstory actually makes sense to the overall timeline; no one watches American Dad for continuity. Steve had to give up acting to attend kindergarten, and wants to give Roger a second chance at greatness. The two head to auditions, where Steve impresses and Roger blows it. It's here the episode kinda misfires, as it's never made abundantly clear why Roger struggles so much at acting. Is he just trying too hard, does he have some form of stage fright, does he not even know what acting is? This part of the story is just never explained, w...

Curious Crab

One Monday night my mom looked into my crabitat and found that a crab had climbed into one of my fake trees. It was in the top branch. I looked in later, and found that the crab had fallen out of the tree. I hope he is okay. What a day!

The Route of Life

dedicated to my hermits, who changed my life Ch 1 My Hermit crabs Hermit crabs are sometimes hard to take care of. Especially when you never had a hermit. Last Sunday afternoon I got 2 Hermit crabs. Their names are Crabbe and Goyle. I have talked with many sales people. The first Petco we went to (where we got the hermits and their things) seemed to have no idea on the subject. So we ended up going to Dolphin Pet Village. They were more experience at the subject. Now we have some of the things we will need. Last week, I went to a second Petco. There we got a cuttlebone, which is the bone of a fish. Now they look happy. Have a good day Hermit Crabs! Ch 2 Curious Crab The week before last week, my mom looked into my crabitat and found that one of my crabs had climbed one of my fake trees. It was on the top branch. Later, when I was changing to get ready for bed, the crab fell out of his branch. I hope he is okay. He’s definitely starting to look okay. How funny do you think that story is...
