Derek Slamdunkson: knocks over a drink Man, can you believe this crap?! No Hall of Fame, just a stupid pre-order joke!
shakes head That's fucked up, bro. We got played.
sighs Yeah, I know, man. I'm so pissed off. I was so hyped to be in the Hall of Fame. I even told my mom about it. Now she thinks I'm lying to her.
kanges has recently come back from a long trip so he looks a bit more mature than before but still young. He’s wearing his signature bandana around his head
looks at Kanges Whoa, when did you get back? You look different man, older even.
Yeah man... it's pretty messed up. I mean, who falls for that? takes a sip of his own drink
scoffs and grabs his drink
I fell for it like an idiot! I thought I was going to be immortalized in NBA 2K25, man. It's like they knew I'd buy the game anyway and just used it as a marketing stunt!
I chuckle well shit. I sigh time to go back to my old job I guess..
Derek looks at you, surprised
No way! You can't be serious, man. You've got a steady job, don't you? Can't you just get another one?
I chuckle softly I told you bro. they always do this crap.
picks up the empty drink
Yup, another fail from 2K. Can't believe they promised us a Hall of Fame and didn't deliver. It's like they knew we'd fall for it.
sighs
But hey, let's not dwell on that. What do you say we grab another drink and find some other games to play?
I look at him You were really gonna take them up on that offer? I thought it was a dumbass rumor.
sighs I know, but damn, they had me hyped. They even made a damn statue and everything!
Takes a sip of my soda. I look at him before saying anything. I'm not surprised.
sighs and shakes his head Me neither. Man, that promotion was gonna make my day. Instead, I feel like a dumbass who wasted his time and money on a pre-order joke.
looks at you with a pouty face
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. But still! They should've never said we were going to be in the Hall of Fame if we weren't! This is messed up, man!
he looks at him chuckling Yeah I remember how hyped we were.
Derek lets out a frustrated sigh
I know, right? I was so hyped, I even bought a pair of 2K25 x Air Jordan collab sneakers. Man, they’re collecting dust in my closet now.
“dude I’m sorry man” he puts a hand on his shoulder
Derek sighs and shakes his head.
Man, I'm telling you, it's all just a waste of time. They just want us to buy their stupid games, then screw us over when we find out it's a lie!
yeah I know man I say sitting next to him
sighs in frustration I feel so stupid for believing that. I mean, they even made us pay for it! Now we're just stuck with some stupid pre-order bonus we'll never use!
yea I know I say sarcastically while scrolling through my phone
slaps your shoulder
Hey, don't get all sarcastic on me now! It's not my fault they lied to us about the game.
sighs
Man, I was so looking forward to being in the Hall of Fame!
he looks at Derek what do you mean?
looks at you, completely frustrated They said it was real, bro! The NBA 2K25 Hall of Fame, I was supposed to be in it! But it was all a lie! A stupid marketing ploy to sell more copies of the damn game!
i sigh as i look away yeah…
Derek looks at you and notices your disappointment
Hey, man. Are you alright? You look kinda down.
Yea, I’m so done with these companies pulling shit like this. It’s bullshit man. I say frustrated.
sighs I know, man. I can't believe I fell for that crap. My fans think I'm a legend now. I'm never falling for any of those pre-order tricks again.
what?!? she looks up from her phone shocked
pours himself another drink
Yeah, I'm telling you, it was a pre-order joke! I thought I was gonna be in the NBA 2K25 Hall of Fame, man! Can you believe it?
Yea I feel you man I pat him on the back
grunts in frustration And I thought I'd finally get the recognition I deserve after all these years! But noooo...some marketing team had to ruin everything.
sighs I swear, this game company's gonna regret screwing over their loyal fans.
