    I love the fact that even though he's getting fairly old now his career requires him to style himself like a teenager/twenty-something.

    Tony Hawk's already 41? Boy, has time sure flown.

    It seems strange to see the title 'Former' pro-skater next to his name. It just doesn't feel right. Well, I guess Hawk's time as champ has passed, and he has moved on to games..
    ..He will always be the Skate King to me.

    I will be excited to see his attendance at GamesCom. "Go Hawk! Whoo!"

    @(Zombie) MaxDragon7: The day he dies will officially be the end of an era. Tony Hawk was such a huge part of my younger years since I loved to play the THPS games. I'm not that big into skating anymore but he's still a great childhood icon to me.

    I still remember how excited I was when the episode of Rocket Power that he was in premiered.

    I actually got a little choked up while writing this and thinking of a world without his greatness.

    @(Zombie) Teliko: I feel for you man. The day that he passes, sadly, will be the end of a great era. The THPS games were gold, and they still are, somewhat.

    Rocket Power is the shiz. That show was great, but his appearance was real nice, and a cool tribute.

    Dude, don't get choked up over it now! Cheer up, GamesCom is coming up soon!!

    While I still think this is overpriced. I read a rumour somewhere that they were planning to use this peripheral for a silver surfer game.
    I think it was in an OPM or something. This is still over-priced but if that game's any good (whenever it gets previewed) , it'll make me think about getting this one.

    How many Canadians will take offense to being part of the United States "territory?" :¬)
    On an unrelated note, I miss the old Tony Hawk games. The first was something completely new, the second approached gaming nirvana. Three and four weren't bad either, but they also marked the time when Activision's "milk the hell out of it" mentality popped up. It's been downhill since then.
    I don't want fancy motion controllers, or simplified Wiimote versions of the game. Just give me a good arcade skateboarding game, and we'll call it good. Bonus points for Marvel or Star Wars cameos, too.

    @spiderweb1986: IMO 3 is the pinnacle of the series, as it was pretty, smooth, and execution/level design was really very good. It was a perfect marriage of the power of the PS2 with a game that benefited from good draw distances, larger continuous levels, and some of the best trick lines in the series. THPS4 was too ambitious, with its awful minigames, and just failed to capture the spark that 3 had. Underground was good, but the series has just gone way downhill since then. I can't wait for the THPS/GH crossover!

    @spiderweb1986: I am used to being lumped in under United States but I'm a bit snobbish with pride when it comes to being Canadian and when I travel I notice that people are A LOT NICER to me once they know I'm Canadian. For how similar our countries are If you look hard enough you will notice that we are miles apart on many things. I take pride in knowing that MY GREAT COUNTRY would NEVER vote on the rights of minorities and that ALL people here are respected as equal.
    And PS... we never elected anyone as stupid as Bush, and we also never RE-ELECTED anyone as stupid as Bush!!!
    PSS Canada is, as of now, the FIRST country to get out of this recession that our big brother to the south got everyone into!!! Why? Because we are ballin' out of control and, of course, know how to run a country properly.

    @Minck: I'd like to point out that close to half our country voted for Gore in 2000, and Kerry in 2004. I'd also like to point out that there are plenty of Americans that support gay rights. It's nice of you to paint an entire, diverse nation with one brush, though - it really does simplify things, even if it is COMPLETELY WRONG.
