As customary Lacett tradition, I allowed myself to open 1 Christmas gift on Christmas Eve.

Since I knew pretty much everything I was getting, I picked the rectangle box that looked like an X-Box game and sure enough, I had NBA Live 10 in my hands.

It’s been a couple years since I bought an incarnation of the game and I got to say, I was impressed.

They got this thing called Live DNA. You got to be hooked up to XBox Live but once you are, it’s actually pretty amazing. The “DNA” copies what’s happening in the real world and places it in the video game.

So last night, I decided to play the Sixers against the Bulls. Allen Iverson has been out with an injury in real life and because of that, he was out in the game as well.

Also, I can load up the game of the day, which also happens to be the real life game of the day. Lakers vs. Cavs Christmas Day? Please it already happened in my game at Mount Pleasant.

On top of all this, while the game loads up, an ESPN sports radio update comes on.

Yes indeed, I’m going to be very busy during my vacation.
