GET TO KNOW ME TAG GAME

Before I start I would just like to say (tw alcohol for now and question 19) sorry for any spelling mistakes or if I ramble a little. To cut a long fuckin story short I mis read the measurements of my shot glasses and so instead of having two cocktails I’ve had the equivalent of four in the space of an hour and a half. Being british, im not gonna let a good drink go to waste either so im onto my third/sixth now.

Tagged by @clints-lucky-arrow (an actual goddess among us mortals)

1. Why did you choose your URL?

So this reason is two-fold. One, I didn’t watch star wars growing up because I was dumb and didn’t understand the politics (it wasn’t until my boyfriend sat me down and explained it literally in January of this year that I actually got it) but I loved Sci-fi and space so the next best thing was Treasure Planet (2003 film, Available on didney+) My favourite scene is the ending when Long John Silver (spoilers) is about leave before he can be arrested and Jim confronts him. Seeing how much his character has grown, Silver says to Jim, “Look at you, glowing like a silver fire. You’re something special, Jim. You’re gonna rattle the stars, you are.” It literally makes me tear up every single time I watch it and its one of my favourite lines of all time. Second, this was actually quoted in one of my favourite book series ‘Throne of glass’ by Sarah J Maas. I adore the character of Celeana and again one of my favourite quotes from TOG is when Queen Elena says to Celeana“ You could rattle the stars. You could do anything, if only you dared.” Every time I read that line I literally get chills and I actually have plans to get this tattooed on me lmao

2. Any side blogs?

Yes my fanfic blog @second-stars-totheright (I like puns and I used to love peter pan)

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

I joined when I was 13 for the fanfiction and lurked for a very long time, just reblogging and liking things until I deleted it when I was 17. Re downloaded the app and got my account back back around February of this year (when I was 19, now 20) and since then I’ve found it much friendlier and actually interacted with people this time around, and actually started posting my work on here!

4. Do you have a queueue tag?

No. This is my general postings blog so I just kind of stick anything funny or worth keeping here, but I probably should make one!

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

As I said to read fanfiction (anyone wondering it was 5 seconds of summer fanfiction. Anyone who judges me in the comments its fair game 🥺) but I re-downloaded it this year because I noticed with my work on Wattpad, while I had some do really well (one has gotten 130k+ views) its very difficult to actually interact with readers and get feedback. I’ve only accumulated that high of a number after 5 years of it being on there, and so tumblr is just so much more personal!

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I did it this morning as I was getting tagged in this lmao. I wanted a cartoon girl who looked like me but because I had a specific colouring (ie my hair is black with a blonde streak at the front & my eyes have both blue and green segments because I have heterochromia) I couldn’t find any that looked like me so I recoloured a cartoon girl I found on pinterest.

7. Why did you choose you header?

The white clouds fit the stars theme and it looks pretty with the purple. ✨💜

8. Whats your post with the most notes?

“That girl is a problem | Javier Pena x Agent!Reader part 1” with 105 notes on my fanfic blog.

9. How many mutuals do you have?

I am still a little tumblr idiot when it comes to this so if someone could tell me how to find out I'll edit this

10. How many followers do you have?

72 on here, 107 on my fanfic blog (AND I LOVE ALL OF YOU ACROSS BOTH OF THEM MWAH, MWAH KISSES FOR YOU ALL 💜💜💜)

11. How many people do you follow?

165 (it was 700+ but the other day I unfollowed a bunch of accounts that haven’t been active since I followed them when I was 13. There were LOTS)

12. Have you ever made a shit post?

I mean all you have to do is look at the Nomad memes I make (UNAPOLOGETICALLY I might add 😤) for @clints-lucky-arrow to know I absolutely have. That series has a hold over me im telling you. I black out when I start reading and I awake with a bunch of meme editing apps open and my feelings tugged at from her amazing writing.

13. How often do you use Tumblr each day?

If I’m with my boyfriend which is like two days a week, rarely, but now I’ve finished uni, I’m on here all the god damn time. I feel so comfy and safe interacting with you all, not to mention some of you guys are funny as hell.

14. Did you have a fight with a blog once?

Not really on here, I haven’t received any hate luckily but I prefer not to spoil how comfy I am here with arguing.

15. How do you feel about ‘you need to re-blog this’ posts?

I’m a little confused by this I dunno whether I’ve just never come across any like this or if Stars is being a bimbo on the tl again. However, I only reblog things I’d like to keep for future reference or if something deserves to be shared to everyone else like a fic rec or a piece of art. (As Mack said, I’ve re-blogged so many in the past promising me money or luck and I am still broke as shit so what does that tell you).

16. Do you like tag games?

Yes!! I love reading everyone elses and getting to know my mutals better!

17. Do you like ask games?

Again yesss because it means I get to send love to my mutuals and get to know them better! I tend to not participate though just read their responses because I sometimes feel like I’m bugging people clogging their inboxes even though I know that’s the point idk I’m a hell of an over thinker sometimes 🥳

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

It’s been said before but @clints-lucky-arrow (wow you rlly owning this post bby girl) but I just remember lurking on Nomad early February and liking and reblogging her chapters so I could keep them to re-read cause that’s how much I instantly loved it and when she followed me I realised who she was and lowkey had a starstruck moment bcus id been ciaght up in her work for weeks and too nervous to make contact. Also @arduadastra, I saw her work all over the pedro tags for so long and now I’ve gotten to know her she is the sweetest girl!! We usually fan over Javier Pena gifs together, she’s solely responsible for ‘That girl is a problem’ bcus of her gif sending at 1am giving me Javi thots and now it’s my most successful one on my blog. And most recently @pedrosgirlx followed me this morning and her work is genuinely some of the best I've seen on here, as I said this morning it is the Sistine Chapel ceiling of Mando art it is actually jaw dropping!! I cant believe all these creators are rlly giving us this content for free and yet being so talented AND the nicest people I’ve ever met!!

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

No, although I hold a lot of them dearly as friends. 15/10 would treat you lovelies to a drink of your choice if we ever met (any of you from the uk who drink I’d get you a pitcher from Whetherspoons)

20. Absolutely no pressure tags:

anyone who wants to join! a lot of people I would have tagged have already posted theirs so go for it if you like the look of it!

biography.

born in daegu, south korea to two extremely wealthy parents.

his father was a very well known idol, his mother a fashion designer.

meaning that dae was in the spotlight since BIRTH, he's never known anything other than fame & fortune.

that of course, went to his head from a very, very young age & it caused this sort of god complex in him.

his nannies HATED having to work for his parents & take care of him because he made their lives a living hell basically. not because he was MEAN or something like that but because he was just picky & was used to getting what he wanted.

which did cause him to be bratty & he did have the tendency to throw fits when he didn't get what he wanted, always going to his parents whenever the nannies wouldn't give dae what he wanted & they'd end up either quitting or getting fired.

things didn't really change through the years, to be honest. he got less 'whiny' about things, but was still use to just asking for whatever he wanted & getting it as soon as humanly possible.

he was fourteen when he first started showing interest in music, though he didn't follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a trainee. he was more into producing & composing than anything.

it wasn't until a few years later that he started rapping to the music he was composing in order to try & get them bought by companies.

people thought that he was actually wanting to be a rapper instead of just a producer / composer, so when the companies kept asking him if he was interested in being a rapper, he figured why not.

that was the start of his career, his first mini-album skyrocketed his name further into fame, quickly becoming the most talked about rookie in the business.

things only got better from there, each album he dropped debuted at the top of charts, keeping his name in the spotlight CONSTANTLY.

after years of that, things started getting to him ... the stress of always having to drop something new and fresh caused daeshim to start to spiral, drinking & doing drugs almost every night as a way to get away from all of it even if it was just for a few hours.

this started the rumor mill to begin, articles of his partying ways, the clubbing & everything like that starting to pile up one after the next. as well as the rumors and scandals of his nudes being leaked & him taking home as many people he wanted to because he truly just didn't care about his image or anything like that.

it was his twentith birthday that would change EVERYTHING for dae. he'd decided to go out, celebrate by drinking & going wild for the night ... stupidly driving home from the club that night.

mid-way home he happened to get into a crash, car getting totaled as well as a clipping a few passer-bys ... causing one to pass away & the other to get severely injured as well as dae getting a laundry list of injuries as well.

he was okay enough to walk away from the incident, though not without some problems of his own... walking back to his agent's home as it was the closest thing he could get to.

he wasn't expecting his agent to instantly try and cover everything up, calling doctors to come visit daeshim at his home, sending people out to clean up the scene of the accident & make sure that the people who were witnesses or involved were paid off to keep their mouth shut.

that guilt weighed on him pretty instantly, his injuries being hidden from the media while they healed and the other people involved continued to be paid off so that no one knew what had happened.

he dealt with all of that for a few years but after a while, he couldn't do it anymore. deciding to publicly declare he'd be taking a break from making music, producing & composing... taking time out for himself & his own mental health & wellbeing.

it was only a week after that when dae found himself in london, hoping to be able to start over the best as he could.

personality. ( pt 2. )

literally the Worst.

is a rich bitch and makes sure EVERYONE knows that even if he doesn’t speak it… comes in the form of his clothing, sports cars, accessories… literally everything.

has kinda made a name for himself in the london that isn't to far off from what the media constantly talked about and that's him being a Party Animal. goes to clubs / bars every weekend ( sometimes more frequently depending on his mood. ) as well as a bit of a 'player’.

extremely hedonistic and a bit of a shopaholic. is always seen with the latest & greatest makes and models of things. always has designer clothes on. always is out shopping for something new at least three times a week, sometimes more.

can be pretty cocky at times, he knows how he looks, he knows how much money he has and sometimes he lets that go to his head & his ego. though he TRIES not to be like that just because he honestly can’t stand when other people boast about their wealth or looks on a daily basis.

is actually really relaxed when it comes down to it, as much as he loves to party… there’s a part of him that just loves lounging at home watching movies just as much. but usually refuses to do so alone, will invite someone to come over just so he doesn’t have to be in his ( cough…. giant … cough ) house alone.

tends to hate being told what to do. comes from having to conform to what his agent / company wanted him to do & say for as many years as he did so now he’d rather just do what he wants, when he wants to do it and because of that he can be a little bit selfish sometimes.

he wants to be able to LIVE and have fun, do what he wants on his own terms and go from there.

genuinely not a bad person, though his ego & cockiness sometimes tend to cover that side of him up. as well as the grief & guilt of what he’s done in the past causing him to be extremely guarded.

loves to SPOIL the people he knows, if he goes out shopping, he’s probably buying something for his friends in the process.

is the type of person that just loves to give people shit but does so in a loving & caring way. aka will roast you but then offer to take you to dinner or something like that.

he’s … trying. not trying his BEST, sure. but he is still trying and ig that counts for something, right ?

plot ideas.

flirtationship. he absolutely LOVES to flirt his ass off… with whoever he can because why the hell not ?

enemies. whatever the reason might be, they just don’t get along. maybe they just bicker back and forth or perhaps they actually just despise each other in general.

hate sex. lsn… i’m a sucker for this and there’s a lot of reasons someone could dislike or hate dae & well he also like sex so why not pair the two things ?

best friends. he’s never really had anyone he fully thought he could rely on or lean on, so someone he met here who he bonded with instantly would be gREAT.

will add more as i think of them !

1. Woche

Montag, 7. August 2017.

Der Tag war ein sehr harter. Ich war seit Sonntag mit meiner Arbeit auf einem Schloss zu Besuch wo wir für ein Unternehmen eine Einstiegswoche für alle neuen Auszubildenden und Studenten veranstaltet haben. Schon am Sonntag hatte ich viel Mücken zu kämpfen, aber am Montag war es noch viel schlimmer! Morgens bis abends waren überall Mücken, die mich teilweise quer über das Gelände verfolgt haben. Ekelhafte Viecher. Wenn es nach mir ginge würde ich alle Mücken der Welt ausrotten wollen! Böse Dinger. Zum Glück ging es für mich allerdings schon am heutigen Tag wieder zurück. Einige von meiner Arbeit kamen Montag nach und einige andere blieben bis Donnerstag oder Freitag um bei der Vorbereitung der einzelnen Tage zu helfen. Ich leider nicht, da ich sonst nicht hätte bezahlt werden können. Das Schloss war aber eigentlich super schön und ich wäre gerne geblieben. Wobei ich aber auch froh war, fahren zu dürfen, da meine Füße unglaublich wehtaten und sich teilweise Blasen gebildet hatten. Den ganzen Sonntag und den ganzen Montag bis in den Abend hinein Dinge von A nach B tragen ist nicht so entspannt. Am Abend ging es dann in den Zug. Mein Arbeitgeber hat mich mit dem Auto zum Bahnhof gebracht und mir dann ein passendes Ticket bezahlt. Die Strecke, die ich fahren musste, war keine einfache. Warum? Dazu werde ich irgendwann mal einen Extrapost veröffentlichen. Die Zugfahrt bis in meine Heimatstadt dauerte bei einem Umstieg knapp 3 Stunden. Mittlerweile war es 22:00 Uhr und meine Füße brannten wie Feuer. Der nächste Bus fuhr vom Bahnhof aus erst in einer Stunde und zu dieser Uhrzeit laufen immer zwilichtige Gestalten in dieser Gegend umher. Schweren Herzens musste ich also trotz schmerzenden Füßen 45 Minuten zu Fuß nach Hause gehen. Zum Glück hatte ich meine Kopfhörer dabei, ich konnte also meine Lieblingsband Imagine Dragons währenddessen hören. Einige Lieder ließen Tränen meine Wange herunterlaufen, weil sie mich an eine schöne Vergangenheit erinnert haben - dazu auch mehr in einem Extrapost. Zu Hause angekommen, habe ich mich erstmal direkt ins Bett geschmissen und bin bei Licht sofort eingeschlafen ... das Handy war natürlich nicht am Ladekabel und lief über Nacht leer. Tja, die ersten paar Minuten sollten am nächsten Morgen also ohne Handy passieren.

Dienstag, 8. August 2017.

Dienstag war ein Tag, wo ich rein gar nichts getan hatte. Ich saß nur zu Hause und habe nachgedacht. Ich hab nebenbei ein wenig gedaddelt und YouTube geguckt und sonst einfach nichts gemacht. Nicht mal draußen war ich unterwegs.

Mittwoch, 9. August 2017.

Wenn ich mich nicht täusche, war meine Beschäftigung an diesem Tag exakt die gleiche wie am Tag zu vor - nichts.

Donnerstag. 10. August 2017.

Endlich mal wieder ein interessanterer Tag. Zumindest der Abend. Vormittags war ich nur kurz los um 3 verschiedene Sorten Veltins V+ zu kaufen: Berry-X, Lemon und Curuba. Da ich normales Bier nicht so gerne trinke - zumindest nicht in großen Mengen, brauchte ich dieses Bier. Gekauft habe ich es in Dosen, damit sie einfacher zu transportieren sind. Getrunken habe ich das Bier allerdings noch nicht am heutigen Tag, sondern erst am morgigen Freitag. Abends schrieb mich plötzlich mein langjähriger Grundschulfreund an, mit welchem ich schon die Woche vorher ein wenig was gemacht hatte - genauer am Dienstag - ob ich nicht Bock hätte, am Abend was zu machen. Ich willigte ein, da ich einen freien Abend hatte. Er fuhr mit seinem Fahrrad dann gegen 21:45 Uhr bei mir auf den Hof und wir radelten gemeinsam zu Penny und wir kauften uns insgesamt 9 Dosen Bier. Natürlich nur das gute alte Billigbier Turmbräu. Das Gesöff ist zwar ziemlich ekelig, aber immerhin noch besser als Holsten. Ich hasse Holsten. Jedenfalls kamen noch ein paar Kollegen von ihm vorbei und gemeinsam fuhren wir mit diversen Dosen Bier zu einer Schule. Dort tranken wir den ganzen Abend bis um ca. 00:30 Uhr die Biere weg, bevor alle sich auf den Weg nach Hause machten. Mein Kumpel und ich blieben über. Wir überlegten, was wir noch machen könnten. Im Endeffekt haben wir uns dann in der Innenstadt mit einem weiteren Kollegen von meinem Grundschulkumpel getroffen und uns dort ein wenig über Liebe unterhalten. Primär hörte ich zu, denn trotz meines leichten Pegels war ich nicht der Typ, der gerne mit Fremden spricht. Ich ließ meine Playlist von Alligatoah, 257ers und Trailerpark laufen, bis wir dann zu dritt nach Hause gegangen waren. Wieder 45 Minuten waren zu Fuß unterwegs - obwohl ich ein Fahrrad hatte. Da allerdings ein Kollege keines hatte, haben wir alle geschoben. Wir sind zum Haus meines Grundschulkumpels gegangen, um uns dort um 02:00 Uhr eine Pizza in den Ofen zu schieben. Die Pizza war - obwohl es eine vegetarische war - super geil. Das lag aber vielleicht daran, dass ich durch meine 4 bis 5 Biere ein wenig angetrunken war. Um 02:30 Uhr ging ich dann mit seinem Kollegen nach Hause. Ich hatte es kurz, mein Kumpel und ich wohnten in der selben Straße. Zu Hause angekommen, legte ich mich ins Bett und zog schmerzverzerrt meine Socken aus. Das ganze zu Fuß latschen war keine gute Idee. Meine Füße waren rot und teilweise ein wenig dicker als sonst.

Freitag, 11. August 2017.

Heute sollte es ein geiler Tag werden. Die ganze Woche habe ich mich auf diesen Tag gefreut! Es war DFB-Pokal! Holstein Kiel - ich bin überzeugter Fan dieser Mannschaft - musste zu Hause gegen Ligakonkurrenten Eintracht Braunschweig ran. Ich und 7 andere haben uns Tickets für die Westkurve - den Block der Ultras - sichern können. Anpfiff war um 20:45 Uhr, also trafen wir uns um 17:30 Uhr am Bahnhof. Dorthin fuhr ich mit Bus, was eigentlich keine gute Idee war, da ich so nachher wieder zu Fuß vom Bahnhof nach Hause gehen musste ... Jedenfalls nahm ich meine am Vortag gekauften Mischbiere mit und ging zu Fuß Richtung Bus. Diese 5 Minuten taten meinen Füßen schon weh. Zum Glück hatte ich aber Alkohol dabei, das wirkt ja schmerzhemmend. Am Bahnhof angekommen, traf ich mich mit meinen Kollegen und gemeinsam kauften wir uns ein Bahnticket für 71€. Jeder kam also auf Kosten von knapp 25€ - 10€ für die Bahn und 15€ für das Stadionticket. Eigentlich ziemlich günstig. In Kiel angekommen ging es dann durch die Innenstadt zur Bushaltestelle. Ich hatte aber schon all meine Biere weg, konnte also ganz entspannt relativ schmerzfrei laufen. Nur habe ich ein wenig gehumpelt, aber das störte mich nicht. Nach 15 Minuten Bus fahren mussten wir nochmal wieder 20 Minuten zu Fuß zum Stadion gehen. Dort angekommen, kamen wir innerhalb von 5 Minuten durch die Kontrollen und alle trafen sich im Block. Dort standen wir dann auch auch die folgenden, extrem geilen 90 Minuten. Von meinen bisher 2 Besuchen im Holsteinstadion war dieses Pokalspiel mit Abstand das geilste! Kiel hat Druck gemacht und hatte am Ende 62% Ballbesitz gegen den eigentlichen Favoriten aus Braunschweig. Leider konnte man in den ersten 45 Minuten einige Großchancen nicht nutzen und so ging es mit einem schmeichelhaften 0:0 in die Pause - auch weil Braunschweig einen Elfmeter nicht versenken konnte. Braunschweig kam besser aus der Pause und erzielte nach einem eigentlichen Foul der Braunschweiger das 0:1 durch Nyman. Der Block war natürlich außer sich, dass der Schiedsrichter das klare Foul im gegnerischen Strafraum nicht gesehen hat. Ärgerlich. Die nächsten 15 Minuten zog Holstein dann das Tempo wieder an und man erarbeitete sich wieder Chancen. Dann bekamen die Kieler in der Schlussphase auch einen Elfmeter und Braunschweig musste eine rote Karte entgegen nehmen! Im Gegensatz zu Reichel von den Löwen, konnte Drexler den Elfer sicher verwandeln und es stand 20 Minuten vor Schluss 1:1! Braunschweig wirkte geschockt und kam die nächsten 10 Minuten gar nicht mehr zum Zug. Nach einer Braunschweiger Ecke konterte Kiel sich in der 77. Minute dann zum 2:1 durch Ducksch. Das sollte auch der Endstand sein! Was ein geiler Pokalfight von den Kielern. Das hat richtig Bock gemacht! Am 20. August bin ich dann erneut in Kiel, wenn es gegen Greuther Fürth in der Liga rangeht. Dann hoffentlich aauch mit dem ersten Ligasieg. Der Weg nach Hause war dann lang und tat meinen Füßen nicht gut. Glücklicherweise war einer meiner Kollegen mit dem Auto gekommen und konnte mich nach Hause fahren. Das half meinen Füßen zwar auch nicht mehr, aber immerhin gingen sie nicht noch mehr kaputt. Das restliche Wochenende sollte also regeneriert werden!

Samstag, 12. August 2017.

Heute war wieder DFB-Pokal. Gespannt verfolte ich, die meine Münchener - ja ich bin auch großer Fan vom FC Bayern - gegen Chemnitz souverän mit 5:0 in die nächste Runde zogen. Hoffentlich bekommen sie am 20. August nicht die Kieler zugelost. Das wäre schlimm. Ansonsten habe ich an diesem Tag angefangen ein Spiel zu konzipieren. Denn meine Lieblings-YouTuber PietSmiet hatten ein Video hochgeladen, in dem sie Agent Undercover gespielt hatten. Ich fand das Spiel super faszinierend und habe deswegen angefangen selbst Orte und Berufe, die mit dem jeweiligen Ort in Verbindung stehen, überlegen. Insgesamt kam ich auf bisher 35 Orte, welche am morgigen Tag dann gedruckt und geschnitten werden sollten.

Sonntag, 13. August 2017.

Da meine Füße nach wie vor brannten, musste ich eine Anfrage meines Grundschulkumpels absagen, ob wir uns erneut treffen könnten. Wie ich allerdings am Abend in einer Gruppe lesen konnte, hatte er aber auch ohne mich Spaß! Am Nachmittag war wieder DFB-Pokal und mein größter Hassklub in Form des HSV verlor doch tatsächlich gegen den Drittligisten VfL Osnabrück mit 3:1! Und das obwohl Osnabrück 70 Minuten in Unterzahl spielen musste. Eine richtige Lachnummer. Mich hat das sehr amüsiert. Ansonsten habe ich am Sonntag lediglich die Kärtchen für das Spiel geschnitten und ansonsten nichts gemacht. Am Abend war ich dann kurz stutzig, da ich eine Nachricht einer bestimmten Person bekommen hatte. Was genau, folgt auch im bisher zwei mal erwähnten Extrapost.

Mehr ist in der Woche nicht passiert. Die nächste wird wahrscheinlich noch weniger interessant. Aber mal sehen.

Liebe Grüße, Euer Keks.

Euer Homerun in 12 Schritten, um eure Karriere in MLB The Show 17 zu beflügeln

Veröffentlicht am 27. März

Ein Überblick über die vielen Modi des Spiels vor der morgigen Veröffentlichung

Tiffany Chin, Sony Interactive Entertainment America:

Es war ein wildes Jahr mit MLB The Show! Los ging es im Oktober, als wir den legendären Ken Griffey Jr. als unseren Cover-Sportler ankündigten und dazu noch jede Menge neue Features für unsere besten Spielmodi, wie zum Beispiel:

NEU: Retro-Modus mit nur einem Tastendruck (inspiriert von Retro-Spielen der 90er)

Erweiterter „Diamond Dynasty”-Modus

Schnellere Spiele im Franchise-Modus

NEU: Geht euren Weg in „Road to the Show”

Wie fängt man bei so vielen Inhalten denn bloß am besten an, die Spitze des Eisbergs dieses umfangreichen Spiels anzukratzen? Gut, dass ihr fragt! Um denen unter euch behilflich zu sein, die die Reihe vielleicht noch nicht kennen, haben wir eine Liste mit 12 einfachen Schritten zusammengestellt, die euch den Start in das Spiel erleichtern:

Schritt 1

Holt euch MLB The Show 17. Ohne das Spiel wird es schwierig, oder?

Schritt 2

Drückt Griffey einen dicken Kuss auf, das bringt Glück. Dabei braucht ihr euch nicht zu genieren! Mit seinem Segen wird euer Weg zur Legende sicher unter einem guten Stern stehen.

Schritt 3

Macht 17 Hampelmänner. Bereitet euren Körper vor. Mein Körper ist bereit.

Schritt 4

Startet MLB The Show 17 auf eurem PS4-System.

Schritt 5

Wärmt euch mit ein paar Runden im Retro-Modus auf, ganz im Stil von Ken Griffey Jr. Hämmert auf die X-Taste und schlagt Homeruns ohne Ende.

Schritt 6

Startet „Road to the Show” und beginnt mit der Erstellung eures Charakters. Bekommt er einen fülligen Vollbart oder einen Zwirbelschnauzer? Machen wir ihn etwas kräftiger – mehr zum Liebhaben!

Schritt 7

Und schnell? Vielleicht lange Haare? Tobt euch aus, wie ihr es möchtet! Dabei könnt ihr auch gleich Trainingspunkte einsetzen, um ihn härter, besser, schneller und stärker zu machen.

Schritt 8

Verlasst die unteren Ligen. Euer Agent ruft mit einem Angebot der Red Sox an … Bleiben oder gehen? Gebt Acht – der Weg in die oberen Ligen verläuft vielleicht nicht immer so, wie ihr es euch vorgestellt hattet, und wird stark von euren Entscheidungen beeinflusst (jepp). Nur ihr könnt euer wahres Schicksal bestimmen.

Schritt 9

Ihr wollt nur die besten Teile spielen? Startet den Franchise-Modus und begebt euch mit „Kritische Situationen” direkt in die nervenaufreibenden, spielentscheidenden Momente, wenn sie passieren. Oder nutzt „Player Lock”, um auf dem Spielfeld zu zeigen, was ihr draufhabt.

Schritt 10

Errichtet eure Dynastie. Schreitet zur Home Plate und tretet in „Battle Royale” in kurzen Spielen mit drei Innings gegen eure Freunde an, um alte Rechnungen zu begleichen. Zeigt, was ihr draufhabt!

Schritt 11

Erobert im Conquest-Modus die USA und übernehmt Gebiete eurer Rivalen. Dominiert in schnellen Spielen mit drei Innings, um eure Fans zum Toben zu bringen und die Welt im Sturm zu erobern!

Schritt 12

Führt einen Siegestanz auf! Und dann gleich noch mal. Wie ihr seht, gibt es viele Modi zum Ausprobieren und einen Haufen Gründe, The Show zu lieben! Übrigens – Ninjas und Krieger lieben The Show. Wenn ihr mir nicht glaubt, seht euch das Video unten an!

youtube

Wenn ihr MLB The Show 17 bisher noch nicht kennt, geht auf theshow.com, um mehr zu erfahren und herauszufinden, warum jeder The Show liebt. Haltet euch über aktuelle Neuigkeiten und Videos zu MLB The Show 17 auf dem Laufenden, indem ihr uns auf Facebook, Twitter oder Instagram folgt.

Und wenn ihr zu den Ersten gehören wollt, die MLB The Show 17 spielen, könnt ihr es im PlayStation Store vorbestellen und vorab herunterladen, um heute Nacht ab Mitternacht zu spielen!

Wir sehen uns auf dem Feld (der Träume)!

Football's over, so get caught up on the 2016-17 NBA season right here

The Warriors are dominating, there’s intrigue lower in the playoff picture, and a number of new stars have risen.

Been too busy watching football to keep up with the NBA? You’re in luck. In this week’s FLANNS & ZILLZ, we catch you up on what you’ve missed.

ZILLER: Football is officially over. (And how!) That means, per tradition, the wider sports world takes keener attention on the NBA as we roll toward All-Star Weekend and approach the stretch run. So we'll take this opportunity to talk about what more casual basketball fans need to know about what's happened so far this season.

There's at least one thing that is absolutely no surprise: the Golden State Warriors are terrifyingly good. They won't break the wins record again, but Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry have learned how to play off one another, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson have maintained their All-Star play and ... I can't be the only one losing faith that anyone can even compete with the Warriors in the playoffs. They are ridiculously good.

FLANNERY: From this vantage point in February, I think it's going to be a bloodbath come playoff time. Very few teams can match up with them and the ones that offer a tough counter (like say, Memphis) don't have the horses to win four games in seven.

I love the Spurs, but I don't see it. The Rockets are the best story of the year, but does anyone really think they can defend them well enough to win a series? The Clippers are still that X-factor team, but they're also still the Clippers. The one team that we know can give them problems is Cleveland, and the Cavs are kind of a mess right now.

Soobum Im-USA TODAY Sports

What do you make of the rest of the West? Take Golden State out of the equation and it's basically the East with a couple of better teams at the top.

ZILLER: The Spurs are better than anyone in the East (including Cleveland right now, in my opinion). I don't know that there's any real gap between the next few West teams and the better East teams, though. Boston is clicking behind Isaiah Thomas and Washington is surging. I'm not convinced the Rockets are better than those teams or Toronto. And Houston is clearly the third best team in the West due to the Clippers' maelstrom of calamity.

Briefly, considering the city's abysmal sports history, we should note that the Wizards are having their best season in maybe 30 years. After a slow start John Wall looks like an MVP candidate* and Scott Brooks is avenging his reputation. There is a small but legitimate chance the Wizards could make the NBA Finals.

I asterisked the MVP comment because there's no way John Wall is an MVP candidate because that race is freaking crazy.

FLANNERY: I think people are overthinking the MVP race, but that tends to happen around this time of the year. It's been a five-player race and it should stay a five-player race. Those five being James Harden, Russell Westbrook, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Kawhi Leonard. No offense to Wall or Kyle Lowry or even Steph Curry, but that's the list. (Also Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Jimmy Butler, Giannis Antetokounmpo, etc. etc.)

And I'm sorry but Isaiah Thomas is not a top-5 MVP candidate when you consider the players above. Who does he bump: LeBron? Kawhi? That pains me to say that because IT is having a magical ride. There is no more fun NBA experience than Isaiah in the fourth. He’s absolutely one of the best stories of this season, but you can't win an MVP on narrative alone.

I still think it comes down to Harden or Westbrook, but there's a smart case to be made for Kevin Durant. I wonder if anyone will make it.

ZILLER: There is a case, and surely one of our friends in the Bay Area will make it, but there's just no way. I like to think we've come far enough since LeBron was basically blacklisted from a number of ballots, but Durant's decision was met with more hostility from even player liberty advocates like us. It's just not feasible. Best he can hope for is Finals MVP, which is one helluva consolation.

Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports

You mentioned Giannis. The rise of the young weirdo superstars (the unicorns, as some call them) has been a bright spot so far this season.

FLANNERY: That's been the brightest spot in the league by far and that group keeps expanding. If you've been away from a while, you ought to get hip to Nikola Jokic and Myles Turner, because they are now members of the crew along with Giannis, Karl-Anthony Towns, Kristaps Porzingis, Anthony Davis, and Joel Embiid.

(Quick aside: are we ready to grandfather AD out of this club? This will be his fourth All-Star nod, which is three more than everyone else here combined. I'm not -- he's still only 23 -- but I'm curious to see when that consensus gets reached?)

I'm a little concerned, however, that none of those dudes are going to make the postseason. The Bucks and Giannis seemed like a sure thing, but they've hit the skids. The Wolves are taking their time and the Knicks are ... so very Knicks. It would be a shame if the young'uns get skunked.

How do you like these playoff races? There's some intrigue in the East, for sure. The West seems pretty straightforward except for that last spot, aka the saddest pursuit in sports.

ZILLER: Anthony Davis is a 4-time All-Star. He's either the president of the club or he's graduated from the club. I can't decide.

The East is funky because there's a vast muddle in the standings from Nos. 7-13. Three of them will make the playoffs. Five won't. We have our guesses but it's messy. That's a version of intrigue for the fans involved but it's hard for us neutrals to get too hepped up about.

The West No. 8 race, as you mention, is just plain sad. Everyone wants it and no one deserves it. May I suggest a play-in tournament, except do it 2-on-2 NBA Jam style? I'll pass on 48 minutes of Pelicans-Blazers or Kings-Nuggets. But Anthony Davis and Buddy Hield vs. Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum? DeMarcus Cousins and, uh, erm, Garrett Temple (I guess) vs. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray? I'm there.

By the way, we should mention that the Jazz have officially arrived. The Timberwolves have, uh, not.

FLANNERY: Okay first, I LOVE that idea. Let's use NBA Jam rules to settle every minor positioning thing from here on out.

We never talk about Utah, but the Jazz are legit. I'm going to keep banging that Rudy Gobert drum from here until eternity. It will be fascinating to see what happens with Gordon Hayward this summer. If he sticks around and the young guys like Rodney Hood and Trey Lyles can take another step ... the Jazz have major aspirations.

And that's yet another reason why I am not concerned about the trajectory of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wolves on their schedule, not ours. We all wanted Utah to be that team last year and it took them another season to get healthier and stronger. The Wolves have been playing better and I am encouraged by Tom Thibodeau's public statements. He sees the big picture and they are not finished yet. Let Kris Dunn get his feet wet, figure out what you have with Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine, add a veteran or two to round things out and they'll be just fine.

I'd love to have them sneak into the playoffs. Of all the teams fighting for that spot they could really use the psychic boost as well as the experience.

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports

Here's the obligatory Cavs question: You think they're vulnerable? (I do not.)

ZILLER: In the East? Not really, though Kevin Love has some back issues and given their depth and LeBron's heavy workload, that's a potential problem depending on what happens at the deadline. But as someone who picked the Cavaliers to win the title last year ... I'm not seeing it right now. The Warriors are too dope.

The trade deadline is up right after All-Star. We do not expect fireworks. But then, that's usually when we get those fireworks, huh?

FLANNERY: I guess? I think that's just where we are with the deadline. Teams aren't in a rush to acquire pending free agents, draft picks are even more valuable now, and there's a lopsided amount of potential buyers versus would-be sellers. That could all change, of course, and I can count a half-dozen players who would be mighty interesting from Paul Millsap to Goran Dragic, the Magic frontline, and even Jimmy Butler. Free Melo? Free Melo!

We've been advocating for teams to dump their losses and get right with the lottery guards for months now, but no one listens to us.

I am reminded that the Clippers traded a first round pick to get two months out of Jeff Green and that the Cavs stole Channing Frye last year, so we'll see some weird things happen, for sure. I would certainly like to see the Raptors make a deal and the Celtics really need a live body up front. As always, the best deals are the ones we don't hear about.

I've been enjoying this season. It's not the best one I've ever seen and I don't think the playoffs will offer much drama until the Finals, but it's been pretty good. That's enough to tide us over through the winter and into the spring, right?

ZILLER: Absolutely! And it's still a league where an amazing moment can happen at any moment. That serendipity is worth it all.

FLANNERY: Now bring back Vine and we're all set.
