Sports games have featured face scanning tech in some way for nearly two generations. Since the advent of the webcam, game developers have sought to bring players actual likenesses into games. It makes sense for a sports fan; being able to play as you is appealing. You’d imagine though, with the new, higher fidelity cameras available, that it’d be a seamless, working process by now. You’d be wrong.
NBA2K15 is the latest game to feature facial scanning tech, allowing you to be in the game. Or at least, some sort of creepy, horribly disfigured version of you.

You don’t understand. The people I work with think gaming is a waste of time and money. I’m the youngest in the department by 12 years. It’s frustrating hearing about how I should be grateful I don’t have kids. Here there’s like minded individuals (don’t know what that says about my mind ) and I couldn’t access it. Shit nearly went down
Hammersteyn

Here is like minded individuals that’s probably 12 years older than you as well. Age means nothing.

That implies Darryn has a girl friend.

Have you seen his Batsuit? Hell, even Darryn should be able to pull SOME female attention in that thing. Just as long as he leaves the cowl on.
