Happy Monday, Let’s Skate

Well I’m excited about today especially after a much needed Dallas Cowboys win yesterday.  Tonight is a thrilling episode of HEROES and I’m ready!  I didn’t do much this weekend though so I don’t have any cool stories to tell.  My birthday is on Wednesday, October 29th.  Feel free to spare no expense on any birthday gifts.

T-shirts from the Ultimate Swagtastic Giveaway will be mailed out this weekend before I head out to Vancouver, Canada.  I’ll be headed up north on Sunday for some hands-on time with Skate 2 courtesy of the EA Canada team.  If you have some questions about Skate 2, then let me know so I can try to get them answered.  The first one was really good and was a much needed change of pace to battle against Tony Hawk’s grip.  It did well enough to warrant a sequel so I’ll get to see how it’s stacking up.

I also have a really exciting 12-hour bonanza coming up.  I’m preparing some treats that will span 12 straight hours.  Stay tuned for that!

    GO COWBOYS! Glad we somehow pulled that out, much needed. Have a great trip be careful and I’ll put my money on Skate 2 being sweet. The first one stepped away from the arcade feel of TH and made the game more rewarding by makeing it more challenging…more than just a step in the right direction…it set the bar.

    A few things I would like to know about skate 2.

    1. Is the game going to run at 60 frames? I think it ran at 30fps in the first one.

    2. Will TK(Terry Kennedy) be BLACK in the final version? He was white in a character trailer they released earlier and it bugged me out.

    3. WHY NO PRod(Paul Rodriguez)!?

    Thanks

    - How dramatic of a change is the post-earthquake setting of Skate 2 from Skate 1?

    - Has the presentation of crashes and falls (where you break bones) been changed to something more grotesque?

    Just some questions :)

    Happy Birthday Deacon!

    As for Skate 2:

    Will there be any new online game modes?
    What changes will be made to the video editor?
    Random Question: Will there be a skateboard wreck engine?(If I jump off a building or garage and land will my board break.)
