Keeping It Crazy...
Keeping It Crazy...
Did I use the crazy world, someone oughta sell tickets thing last blog? Yep? Well, it still is. Here's an unofficial heads up for all you concerned Black Box fans...most of the team is resting and relaxing as we negotiate our way through the final throes of "official" approval. The game is out of our hands and we're gonna take a Xmas break while we wait to hear what's up with the game.
Skate 2 will be released. Honest. We simply have to jump through the necessary hurdles that all games face...then ship the sucker.
Black Box is moving into new digs...but it simply makes sense. The EA Canada facilities have recently been expanded and are looking for some cool new tenants. We're cool new tenants. Skate 3? Ease up, y'all. Skate 2 needs to drop before we can even catch our collective breathe and think about that stuff. Let's talk about this post Jan 21st. Mmmmmkay? K.
I may have overstepped my jurisdiction there...but I figure people want to know...and non-TMZ rumors suck...so, there you have it. Info(ish) stuff.
SOTY's Get Denied
The good news for me...J-Bomb, D, Chalms, and I got into the SOTY party last week. The bad news for Marc Johnson...he didn't. At least that's what I heard. Talk about a tight party to barge. Remind me not to use the old, "Let-me-in-I-won-this-thing-last-year" ploy when I'm trying to weasel into next year's shin-dig.
Highlights? Tommy's Joynt for Long Islands and heaping portions. Four flavors of Joose and Tasty Cakes. Harriet The Spy. Meeting the man...I mean the real deal...Dr. Rick Blackheart! (Wes Humpton says hey.) Schmitty. The one shifty and flamboyant dude that was the sole non-Too-Short's-entourage male representative on stage during the Bay Area legend's performance. (How he managed to Jedi Mind Trick his way past security and then actually blend into the large bevy of femmes on stage is truly baffling.) The Boosh's "I-was-just-out-smoking-now-let-me-back-in" bar infiltration technique. Almost beating level 4 of Space Invaders Extreme. Almost. And...surviving.
See you next year.
Don't Show Up Late...
...or you get stuck in drag. Just ask Mr. "Oi, I've Got Needs Too" Brown about his intro movie experience.
LMK if you want more low down on the epic shoot that was Skate 2's intro movie. I've got stories if you want ‘em.
Take It Away, Josh...
I remember reading some requests for more Projects footage a while back. Like the good little video maker I am, I read, I considered, and I obliged. So here you have Koston skating on the outskirts of the new school..... which you're gonna skate a lot. Unless you're against new spots or something like that.
Alright.... it's Christmas holidays, and I've got some hockey games to go to (yeah I'm 100% Canadian). Just a little somethin for you guys also, No promises on it's release, but I'm workin on a full part for a possible release as the last clip of the week somewhere down the road..... First full part from Skate 2? I think so. Keep your eyes open for that. It doesn't suck so far so hopefully I can keep it that way. Merry Christmas everyone, and I'll be back at you in the new year!
CLIP of the Week
150(ish) Freeskate Challenges...
...new info if you haven't been paying attention. I hope Mike Jones is happy. More new info? Ok...I know the masses don't want randomness, but, as I said last week...I'm tapped out. Danny Way and Rob D each have their own sets of unique challenges. There, is that new? Right now, you're squeezing blood from a turnip.
Tales From New San Van...
...this Tazer thing is outta control. Not tresoutta backtail control...but outta control nonetheless. The other day I was setting up some dumpsters to get into world breaking mischief, when all of a sudden a couple of Japanese schoolgirls start beefing each other. I'm guessing their AI pathing crossed...um...paths. I'm minding my own business, rigging a spot (save the Jeff King comments, ok?...he's hella cool...so was Project Proving Land), then they start raising their voices at each other when...BLAZZIT!...they draw on each other and things get electric.
I didn't see that coming.
Somebody Lying? In a blog!?...
I can't believe the audacity of "bloggers". Word got sent my way that a seemingly reputable website posted a blog that may have contained erroneous information. Imagine that. A blog containing misinformation? Shocking! In case you happened upon said blog, let me reassure you, in all post demo scandal sincerity, that The Nature Boy, Ric Flair will not be in Skate 2. Ever. As much as it saddens me...we know nothing of his involvement with any EA product. End of speculation. (But how rad would that have been? Way rad IMO).
There Might Be A Video...
...coming out soon that will make all Cuz Haters happy. A little something to satiate the growing masses of Hippie bashers. Don't get your "no-new-info/gameplay" knickers in a twist. Wait till the end...
Later for you. I'll probably be gone for a couple weeks...seeing as I don't know how to post a blog by myself.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!......Have a really great Christmas/Festivus! Hope you get what you want, spend time with the people that matter, roll a bit, stay healthy...and don't forget, save any cash or gift cards till the 21st!
Peace.
Cuz
