Tony Hawk's Pro Skater recalls a very specific time in my life, a period of freedom and uncertainty as I was just entering the world. I was in my first apartment in a crappy part of town, working a full-time job, a part-time job and generally killing myself. But at night, I'd come home to find my roommate on the couch popping off tricks in THPS and suddenly would find myself lost for hours in competition.
I haven't talked to that old roommate in a few years now but, looking at these shots of the "Warehouse" and "School 2" stages for the upcoming Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD, I think I'll have to give him a call and find out how rusty he is.

Also, I feel like I know the layout of the warehouse and school better than most places I've lived in real life. This might be worth a trip down memory lane.
Funny you mention that, cause I actually have all the song from that game. So even it doesn't have the same soundtrack, I'll be covered.

Oh god this french translation is horrible! This is better:
Je me sens comme si je connais les détails de l'entrepôt et de l'école mieux que la majorité des endroits où j'ai vécu dans la vie réelle. Ça vaut peut-être la peine de voyager dans le passé.
Blame google and my total ineptitude at learning any other languages other than the queens.
It's never too late, is it? ;)
