| 5638 | Article | catsooey | Reading this was like reading about another version of myself growing up. We started out on the goofy store bought boards which left orange plastic on curbs everywhere from railsliding and very early attempts at ollies. The ollie to us was like flying - we were mesmerized by anyone who could do it and it seemed impossible. My two best friends skated with me, and one of them (Jeremy - rest in peace bro) had an older brother - Dave Schrieber - who ran the local skate camp and knew a lot of the people on the scene. He knew Jimmy Gagne and Corey Shaw who were big amateurs at the time and were about to go pro. I think Corey ended up breaking his back on a launch ramp. Anyway we had our local skate shop, The On Ramp (the larger business was called Interskate 91, which was a roller skating place, and everything was highway themed) and the day finally came when we got our first real boards. My friends got the McGill (the skull snake graphic) and (bat/dragon) Caballero, and I got a Hawk board with the Claw/Hawk graphic. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Each of us had the board of our favorite skater and we thought of ourselves as a mini bones brigade lol. We hadn’t even learned to Ollie yet. The only mistake we made was getting Toxic Shock Syndrome’s ‘Acid Rain’ wheels, which looked cool but rode like rocks. Pete and I both got them and I still regret it to this day. I should have gotten slime balls like Jeremy did, which were great wheels. I think they might have been Vomits but I can’t remember. So we learned to Ollie - I was the first to learn, but Jeremy had the cooler ultra glue foot style that I always tried to get. I used to jump so fast and so high that my board would take a second to catch up to my back foot. It would slap the bottom of my foot when I got to the peak of the Ollie. I was the only one that learned to kick flip though, and I was really proud of being able to pull that off. The Frankie Hill ‘gap’ Ollie from the ‘Propaganda’ video was huge at this time. And the Ollie impossible was new and it really did look impossible. It was a great time for us. A few years later I picked up the guitar (Jeremy was already playing) and we didn’t skate as much. But we did pick it up again for a while in high school. I was actually thinking of getting a board and skating again. It sounds nuts because I’m 43, but I think I might be able to do it. There’s now an actual skate park in my town (if it had been there when I was skating we never would have left, we would have set up little lean-to’s and camped out there so we could skate 24 hours a day!). It’s a concrete bowl, some stairs, rails etc, so if I bite it it’s going to hurt a lot more, but I think I’m gonna go for it. | May 17, 2022 |  | |
| 5700 | Article | Game Joy | I totally agree with you! The sequels you mentioned and many, many other we know are fantastic, for all generation consoles! World of Illusion is a must have, and Crash Bandicoot 2 is really superior in graphics, gameplay and sound. I praise your high intelligence, my brother @Benjanime. | Awesome Video Game Sequels | Jan 14, 2023 | |
| 5701 | Article | Game Joy | You listed the top notch 2000's games for the PlayStation! Blockbuster franchises like Mega Man, Final Fantasy, Duke Nukem, Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot, all of them unforgettable and truly amazing! And that Driver 2 was great as well, superior than the predecessor. Thanks for sharing your charisma and good taste for games, my brother @Benjanime. | Celebrating the Millennium with PlayStation | Jan 14, 2023 | |
| 5705 | Article | Game Joy | As I always do in life, to this day, I choose to not focus on haters: they're the worst beings, screwing this world up. That said, of course I enjoyed Izzy and the hype, and the video game came out with really good graphics as I can remember. Izzy looks cute and have a good heart, that's what counts to me most, so yeah, I remember enjoying the character then AND now. ❤️ Thanks for one more charismatic, memorable and at least to me, moving article. You're a special boy and I'll forever be proud of you as my brother. May the Lord bless you always. | Izzy the Failed Olympics Mascot | Feb 20, 2023 | |
| 5715 | Article | Game Joy | I totally agree with you, little brother! While average brains choose to hate Jake Lloyd, I'm proud of being superior in heart and brain, choosing to hate the haters instead! They destroyed a career of a CHILD!! It is a moral problem from the average, or better, haters! They are the ones having serious moral, psychological problems! And I don't need them to "feel included" or whatever, they're hateful people, losers!! If they're able to give their worse to a CHILD, they deserve MY worse!!! Well, I watched the movie three times and honestly, I didn't find it bad. What I felt watching the movie was as the beginning of a book, for example, when we barely know the characters and story. So, in my point of view, the movie is good. Thanks for exposing it all, little brother, with your charisma and attention: you are amazing!! | Jake Lloyd: A Frustrating Road To Stardom | Jul 08, 2023 | |

| 5730 | Article | Game Joy | That’s a good list to start with, little brother, but we know, there are many other forgotten mascots out there, mainly from Sega. It’s really a pity because I miss them all, except Boogerman | Washed Up Video Game Mascots | Sep 02, 2023 | |

| 5777 | Article | Game Joy | To be frank, I also saw the ads back then, on GamePro. But I didn't got hyped, the console visual wasn't appealing, looking oddly simplistic to it's promises, and the black and white games, not appealing as well. The Bandai WonderSwan was another recent release, also with black and white games. The only "outsider" handheld getting my attention was the Neo-Geo Pocket Color, and the Game Boy Color about to come out. The other handheld having my curiosity was the Nokia N-Gage, but when I saw the so tiny screen, I got reluctant on getting it. Luckily you had the experience before buying it, little brother. Another charismatic, full of passion game article from my amazing brother. It's always a pleasure to read. | Game Com: The Worst Handheld I Almost Got | Oct 10, 2023 | |
