  1. ^^ that's only on pc, right? I was watching some videos on youtube about it. It looks super fun

     

    Its on the 360 as well, as part of The Orange Box.

  2. LIMBO-----ON XBOX IS A DOPE GAME-------LOOK IT UP ON THE DASHBOARD---GAME COSTS 1200 MICROSOFT POINTS---------

     

    Word, i've been trying to justify the price (i pirate all my games, but can't pirate XBLA games) myself. I absolutely loved Braid, and it seems to be in a similar vein.

     

    Speaking of XBLA titles, 'Splosion Man is a pretty fun single, and co-op platformer y'all should check out.

     

    And word to Earthworm Jim.

  3. I dont play sports games, or sports. Video game nerds play halo, and fallout.

     

    People who say they play Madden, Halo, or maybe even COD/MW don't tend to play anything else but those.

     

    They aren't gamers.

  4. a park in allston huh? havent even heard of it but im gonna ask around now. hopefully they go through with it and its a decent park.. or hopefully the finally work on the charles river park.

     

    Haven't heard of that, but there is a new mini at Orchard's new location down the street from the new Kelly's Roast Beef.

     

    And that fucking Charles River Skatepark is never being made. They were suppose to break ground in 08...then 09...then 10...

     

    This is the final design that's going to happen if they ever make it:

    I went to all the public meetings they had for the design of the park. I even helped raise money for the fucking thing, working events (like the gay BoomBoomHuckJam shit, though i did literally bump into Bob Burnquist, which was neat). I, and others, strongly pushed for them to mimic current and past skate spots. But the city and others pushed for a more traditional "skate park" design. Looking at the above pics, looks like they listened at least a little -- check out the recreated Boston Medical Center Volcanoes (RIP), and things similar to Metals!

     

    I think i still have old design concepts they almost went with...

     

    *Edit: Found one pic on an old hard drive:

    Thrasher Skate & Destroy Boston '96

     

    Awesome video! Some great old spots in there. You can see the aforementioned Volcanoes at 4:15. And Vanik Hocobian actually helped a lot in getting the ball rolling on this skatepark. Saw him at some meetings and did demos in Eastie i believe.
