we're playing the old original!
xposts. I have you on my xbox live already Cozen, we played a bit of the COD beta on it. I'm going to blaze through the career mode but should be up for some party play in a day or two once that's done.

how do you get to wear the pro outfits when you've unlocked them? they're not in the shops, not in my backpack : /
― cozwn, Monday, 19 January 2009 20:15 (fifteen years ago) link
ohh nice! if my time zone didn't disclude me i'd play with you, been puting that in a fair bit recently!

xpost. No idea. Too bad as well because I wouldn't mind trying on notorious vehicular homicide merchant Ali Boulala's weird get up.

yeah I just want to fashion my skater into the preacher from the poltergeist w/aid of his hat
― cozwn, Monday, 19 January 2009 21:12 (fifteen years ago) link
I never accomplished this. :(

:( It was pretty tough.
xpost. Still haven't worked out about the kit.
Bit of a crossover with the thread about achievements but I uploaded this slow-motion pastelised video of me doing a really long, but not very impressive, grind solely in order to get the "exhibitionist" achievement. http://skate.share.ea.com/profiles/67033/posts/1466489.aspx
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Tuesday, 20 January 2009 22:49 (fifteen years ago) link
this is the only one I've uploaded so far, might some of the rest up later
― cozwn, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 09:24 (fifteen years ago) link
I DID IT!
― cozwn, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 13:22 (fifteen years ago) link
the tech challenges are hard: did the grind fs5-0 to fs tail one earlier
the year-end skateboard mag photo challenge was doing my head in too : /
game keeps freezing too; think I'm going to pick up skate.2
anyone else buying?
― cozwn, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 17:41 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm gonna get skate 2, yeah. I'm just trying to do this challenge at the Matrix for Rob Drydek and Big Black where you grind to 360 Flip to FS Crooked. It's annoying me.
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Wednesday, 21 January 2009 18:08 (fifteen years ago) link
see that video you put up cozen, I never thought to do that spot by grinding so did some stupid combination of fliptrick to manual to fliptrick. It took me ages. Doh.
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Wednesday, 21 January 2009 18:11 (fifteen years ago) link
ah right, this rob and big black thing is just 360 flip to fs crooked not grind first, nailed it!
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Wednesday, 21 January 2009 18:31 (fifteen years ago) link
I couldn't seem to 360 flip up high enough to grind that thing.
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Wednesday, 21 January 2009 20:09 (fifteen years ago) link
i went for the middle spot where it's lowest and got it eventually.
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Wednesday, 21 January 2009 20:11 (fifteen years ago) link
took my old video down. Here's a new one with a lame grind.
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Wednesday, 21 January 2009 22:16 (fifteen years ago) link
oh god playing this online was horrific. Some dudes are so good, was playing spot battles, the guy does a bunch of 360 flips, hardflips etc. connected with manuals, gets up a 3x multiplier and then hit up a grind and did a bunch of flips on that, he got like 5000, I got about 800 :(

― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Thursday, 22 January 2009 16:34 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm actually proud of this one!.
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Thursday, 22 January 2009 18:14 (fifteen years ago) link
That was awesome!
I just picked up Skate 2 (I didn't play the first one as I just recently got a PS3) and managed to get a very strange bail about 5 minutes after I left the tutorial park:
spinning bulldog
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 23 January 2009 13:46 (fifteen years ago) link
haha, that's some WWF shit right there.
Really want to be playing Skate 2 today but I feel a bit shitty so didn't go to the shops and I don't have any CDRs or working newsgroups to hax0r it.
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Friday, 23 January 2009 15:07 (fifteen years ago) link
I apparently trigger all sorts of weird physics when I bail:
Bench Launcg
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 24 January 2009 00:10 (fifteen years ago) link
Imagine "Launch" for "Launcg"
haha, that's a good one too!
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Saturday, 24 January 2009 13:41 (fifteen years ago) link
I can wipe out like nobody's business; the whole stay on the board and complete challenges isn't always easy.
Absolutely loving it despite my inability to complete challenges. Sucking horribly at a game but wanting to play it for hours is a great, great thing.
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 24 January 2009 14:07 (fifteen years ago) link
Well, this one required many, many bails before I got it right; the final landing is a bit hard, but better than a faceplant:
Who says you can't do Tony Hawk lines in Skate?

ha tht's awesome
― cozwn, Sunday, 25 January 2009 02:38 (fifteen years ago) link
playing skate online noises me up so much because the cunts just do 180 360 flip to manual to 180 inward heelflip and get a stupid 3x multiplier and it makes you feel like an idiot. Really want to play it with like minded pwnz0rz of the ILG variety once I get it going.
― Women can be captains too, you know? (jim), Sunday, 25 January 2009 06:59 (fifteen years ago) link
plus that video was pretty sweet.
should I get skate or skate2? skate is cheaper obviously.
― Super Cub, Sunday, 25 January 2009 08:53 (fifteen years ago) link
for PS3 BTW
― Super Cub, Sunday, 25 January 2009 08:54 (fifteen years ago) link
Get Skate 2 for PS3 - I'd love to play online but as was pointed out most everyone are asshats.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 25 January 2009 13:38 (fifteen years ago) link
Ooo. Skate 2. Starting now!!!1111111111111111

this seems quite a bit harder than the first one.
― Bone Thugs-N-Harmony ft Phil Collins (jim), Monday, 26 January 2009 14:34 (fifteen years ago) link
I didn't play the first, but this one is kicking my butt. My career is not going well, though I must admit just skating around and finding a fun line is cool.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 26 January 2009 16:09 (fifteen years ago) link
I am complete ass at anything vert related.
Good thing about this game: the graphics creator, although it would obv be much better if you could draw your own shit mspaint stylee rather than use their shapes and etc. but the text has allowed me to have a black deck with Bawbag written in it in pink. Which is awesome.
― Bone Thugs-N-Harmony ft Phil Collins (jim), Monday, 26 January 2009 20:55 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm up and running with Skate 2. Let's do this thing!
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Tuesday, 27 January 2009 01:35 (fifteen years ago) link
It's crazy how early in the game they expect you to beat Danny Way in a big air challenge. That was one of the last challenges in skate 1.
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Tuesday, 27 January 2009 05:42 (fifteen years ago) link
haha, yeah. I found the challenge about as hard as that challenge in the first one as well. Steep learning curve for someone who is new to the game.
― Bone Thugs-N-Harmony ft Phil Collins (jim), Tuesday, 27 January 2009 12:36 (fifteen years ago) link
The point thresholds seem to be a little more forgiving, but otherwise it's pretty damned hard.
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic), Tuesday, 27 January 2009 18:03 (fifteen years ago) link
don't actually know how you find them, but if you're on Xbox live I uploaded a spot, it's just a rooftop jump in to the old pool but it's ok. My gamertag is JimMessina
