Congrats Leftos. Hopefully this will be a great start for your career!

Are you still going to graduate school?
2013 is the year?
Thanks to Vl@d, Leftos and all the other patchers for their hard work.

No, there's no way to both do a full-time PhD and work full-time. I sacrificed doctoral studies in order to follow my dream and work on the games that have kept me company since I was a young child. I truly believe I've made the right choice.

It feels good to know that we'll have someone pushing for a better PC version of NBA 2K now. Maybe now we can get patch updates on time :D :chug: Good Luck Leftos!

I think you did bro. Congrats, you're a shining example to all budding modders like myself.

...but just know that any and all errors in all future NBA 2K games will be solely blamed on you and only you.

HA!!
Just kidding. Good luck out there.

This Is amazing news as your vision and passion for modding games to be better than what they were release to do will be a valuable asset to VC and t2K staff, I wish nothing but the best for you man. damn I feel almost as excited as you to hear the news, Because I know what your dedication has produced thus far for back to back years. It may or may not be to late to give insight on Nba 2K14 but anything you put your hands on in an open development cycle means hard work and dedication will be in it CONGRATS leftos, You deserve it BRO.

Excellent, maybe Leftos can tell us whatever happened to that PC patch for 2K13.

But the sad part in all this is that no more Leftos in the podcast with his AAAAAAHHH's as if Andre Drummond touched him.
RIP NLSC podcast.

I know I'll be a Software Engineer, so I'll be working directly on the game's code, the nooks and crannies of the whole thing.

That and if you develop a user-friendly editing tool for a non-specific game I will worship you like the sexy sweat dripping under the hot sun Greek god that you are.
