Just wanted to let you all know that our contest for the awesome Skate 2 Deck, Shoes, and shirts has changed. Apparently, typing more than one sentence was too much work for a lot of people, so instead of making a blog post, you just gotta leave a comment on the contest post.

We are giving away one of the the 350 limited edition decks that came with the Limited Edition of the game, a pair of etines Skate 2 RVM shoes, and 6 shirts.

All entries will be selected at random, and one person will win the etnies Skate 2 RVM shoes and a Skate 2 shirt. 5 others will each receive a Skate 2 shirt. Due to shipping issues we can only open up the contest to those of you in the United States and Canada. Sorry to our friends on the other side of the pond.

We'll be accepting entries through Monday, March 2st at 9pm EST and the winners will be announced on Tuesday. Since we love good content, you can enter one post per day. Good luck!

Head over to DigitalSomething to enter.

And he's 15! Oh NOES!

So, here's the deal: I found a post on the skate.ea.com forums about a glitch that helps you beat "Can You Spell GIRL?" which is a real pain in the ass. So, to help things along, I made a video to help. I also gave props to the guy who discovered the glitch.



So, I posted the video on GameFaqs to spread the word. The hits started pouring in on my video. Well, it turns out that this 15 year old kid (who loves G-Unit and 50 Cent, btw) made a video showing the same thing and posted it to YouTube a day before me. He saw my video and posted comment on it, something to the effect of "Hey fucking dipshit, this is MY GLITCH, I found it and made the video first".

Hhmm... did he say it was HIS glitch? Yes indeed! But wait, what's this? On the Skate forums, he posted that he made a video of the guy's glitch. He even claimed to give the guy props! Of course, he didn't do that.

Well, the hits continued to roll in on my video. In fact, I'm way past his in terms of views and comments and such. My video even made it to the #26 Top Viewed Game video of the day. It got posted on Xbox360Achievements and a bunch of other forums.

So, this kid decided to follow those links and post his video, the whole time claiming that he found the glitch. There were even a few other videos made showing off the glitch that he went to claiming he discovered it. So, I did what any other unemployed 30 year old with too much free time and a hatred for people who take credit for the work of others would do. I called him out on every post that I found that he made claiming that the glitch was his.

Now other people are knockin him for laying claim to the other guy's find, and he's getting pissed at me.

This is so much fun for me. With not having a job, I haven't felt like I've had much of a purpose (outside of being a father to my two kids), so I at least have some sort of a mission now.

Out with the old, in with the new! The demo for Skate 2 dropped today, and it is great! My only complaint: It's too damn short! They did their job perfectly, because I can't wait for this game.

Anyway, in celebration, I have started the next chapter in my bail video series. I hope you enjoy.

Yep, you read that right. I know it's been forever since I made a bail video anyway, but this is the final skate. bail video montage I will ever be doing.

Before you say it, no, my 360 didn't die. Thursday marks the release of the skate 2 demo, and in two weeks we get the full game. Therefore, I am simply moving on to newer and better things. I'm really looking forward to making bails from skate 2 because of the various improvements.

Anyway, here it is: The Farewell to skate. I will embed the video, but please watch it in High Quality because it looks a whole lot better. Stupid YouTube compression.

My son and I are sitting here watching Wall-e, and I decided to bust out the laptop and check my e-mail. Lookit what I found in there:

This screams of a 419 Scam. It's probably a guy going for the "Pretending to be a chick who's going to inherit money from her dead father" scams.

I am thinking about replying from a throwaway email address, I love messing with scammers. WHat do you guys think?

Gripshift has been out for a year now on XBLA, and to celebrate, the folks from Sidhe Interactive contacted us to give away two copies.

If you want to enter, just head here and post a comment.

The two winners will be randomly chosen tomorrow night at 11:59pm EST by our staff robot and notified via private message. One entry per person please. Good luck everyone!

This contest is open to everyone, no matter where you live!

There are also a bunch of other site giving away copies of the game, and you can find them on the game's official forums. I'm not linking to them though because you should just go to our site first :P
