Missed last week due to Canuck Thanksgiving and what not...here's some stuff that crossed my ocular view...sorry for those I missed and the "past due date" on some of it...
Quality Community Coverage Award of The Week...
...Bladderboy and anyone that contributed to issue #4 of Lb magazine... http://likebuttermag.ning.com/ ..."hey, Bladder, (that's sounds so weird, like when you really have to go and you start negotiating with your organs to hold on just a little longer) you were in the room last night, I think, but I didn't get to give you high fives/soul arch for the lastest issue, so here it is...woo!"
The Boss is Down with The Res!
...when we were making Skate 3 we showed Andrew the amazing Baker 3 remake someone did (who? Slips my mind...apologies!) and we tripped. So when Reserrved posted his next level remake of The Boss' Stay Gold part, well...congrats and STOKED for you, sir!!!! http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/3039941.page
Longplays...
Well, there was this... http://www.vimeo.com/15599313 ...but because they said it was just a myth, I'm not sure how much of it was real fake skating, or just pre-rendered-CGI-SFX-glitched fake skating. If it was all real fake, then wow...just wow. Too many highlights from a quite a view low-lifes...I keeed, I keeed...but please take the time to absorb this masterpiece.
Don't know if this will be a long or shortie...but here's a coming attraction for something that's seriously B.A... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAIPadLePZk&feature=player_embedded
Shorties
I've liked and mentioned TheSickOne5's work before...but as soon as Straight Outta Lowcash started bumping it was over...or rather in here... ear muff it for the little ones around, but the skating matches the energy perfectly... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDX3PRxbg1Q&feature=player_embedded ...and then I saw this one posted by the same source...Grimey bumpingness featuring a cool effect... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDoSD94sOQM&feature=player_embedded
There have been other Couch offerings recently of note, but I noted this one the most... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRzr2iaFpFI&feature=player_embedded ...the Pee Wee's Playhouse-esque soundtrack juxtaposed with stylish ripping makes this a winner...and finally a healthy dose of C. Webster! Bonus Points for the cloud ender.
I enjoyed this...hope you do...plus you can never go wrong with "Sonic Reducer" ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZXIyh6VV2M&feature=player_embedded ...loved the line at :38, Heishi!
Angthase usually brings quality vittles to the table, so dig into this batch of nugget clips from Toler... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrPyw4fgtMo&feature=player_embedded#!
People wondering what The Community might be like a year from now. Who knows? Like I said up there, it will be what you make it...nothing or something...it's your call...and theirs... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3wLVkQ9bhw&feature=player_embedded#! ...PS... I'll still be fake skating...at least until better fake skating software comes along...and I hope aronius is still ALL CAPPING for old time's sake ;)!

I'd hate for one of these guys to put a hit out on me so I thought I'd share some stylish editing and skating... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ROHvyAnwCQ&feature=player_embedded

Saw the triple tail comments so I had to check it and it was worth the looksie ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1lkbqcYESk ...thumbs up to the PentaGrave!
In at the wire award...just saw it and flipped for a decidedly different and creative use of the fakeSkate software... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVfLQVxG6UU&feature=player_embedded ... the up board down board at :46 was cool... congrats for percolating the stoke, Antwan...felt kind of OATSy, which is high praise IMO...but that Dropkick Murphy's song would have been better if it didn't remind me of all the losses I've been taking at NHL11 ;)...
Skateparking
Got sent this from a nice guy named Alex, so look at some of his nice parks...nice! http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/0/662381.page (Nice is in France, and I think Alex is French, and Nice looks pretty nice...thus my niceyness)
The parks of Old-Skooler-34 as shredded by he and Ayreon (I think)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFSWPshxm4E&feature=player_embedded#! ... lots of variety and stuff to destroy. Moving shopping cart ender FTW.
Gotta appreciate the swagger behind z Mac1n's showcase of The Marble Square skatepark created by Yarivpa... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2Kjq8AqwuA&feature=player_embedded
Can't stop hyping him because he just keeps producing hype worthy material...of an off-beat sort...enjoy some dominoes with Jedi ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECU_RGzeL1A&feature=player_embedded
Sports Ticking...
http://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/kotr-book/ - anyone up for this? Head to Thrasher for lots of the real deal coverage...it's pretty "rad". And congrats to Grant Taylor...err...NikeSB...for winning KOTR. Wonder if that seals the deal for a SOTY for Grant?
Here's a place to catch up on Wet happenings... http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/3156755.page
Couldn't find the link to Rip's final round(s) but look for it...I'm sure it'll be worth it...oops, found it...stya tuned... http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/3110780.page
I'm off to Leeside.
Keep Rolling,

...for me at NHL 11. I mean, really? I'm 0-30 (now 0-31) against the gentleman that sits near me at work. I find a new way to lose every game. Just like with this blog, eh? Sorry if I bummed out or offended anyone with my inadvertent flippancy last week. I didn't mean to be any more of a tool than I normally am. I'm just stoked on the Party Pack and hope people get it when/if they can afford it. My bad.

...I know that is Cardiel sacrilege, but I just have too much fun skating Marraffa's...and I know John would too. Gonna get hard sell on the DLC that has been out for days and likely bought by those of you that want it...and ignored by you that don't. So what? I love it.
Calling this out as first...other than Demz "How-to-jump-the-fence-online-courtesy-of-the-Clayfighter-flop", but here's the first vid I saw posted up on our forums of the DLC...How about a big, "FIRST!" for King Dean... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CopHlrqYfnY&feature=player_embedded

...there's no new news. Well, other than an update on the Xbox patch timing - end of next week - and the San Van Party Play date - September 21st. If you want more DLC or patch details, check out last week's blog.
But, while on the subject of no news, I do want to give a heads up to those of you that tune into the blog for Skate 3 news. The heads up is to not be expecting too much new news here. The reality is, there's not much news to pass along or convey.

(Dropped the "eh" bomb just to perturb Canadians that don't want to be stereo-typed)
And just to stir the pots of perturbance even more...here's a gem... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVEG793G3N4
Anyway...I'm back from my Grecian sojourn. Don't read too much into the trip. No, there won't be a "Shred Antiquity" DLC pack. It was just a Griswaldian family vacation, not a research mission...but...there is DLC coming...and I know that's why you're here.

Bobbybobby back for round 2 in the blog world. With Cuz still soaking up the European sunshine (with an adult beverage in hand I'm sure) you gotta deal with me yet again. I'm gonna keep this one fairly short, yet informative because.... well.... I have a tee time in about an hour and a half.

... at least I don't think there will be a problem. Now, I (bobbybobbydigi) may not have the innate ability to turn complete randomness into a weekly blog. Nor do I have the years of writing experience that Cuz has. Luckily, I post so many Facebook and Twitter updates each day that I feel comfortable enough behind a keyboard to take a shot at a the ol' weekly blog. So please keep in mind that I'm still a blog noob, and just enjoy this experience with me. Get crazy, get wild...

I had something all written up to explain the above. It was an insightful look into Skate 3's future.
But then I decided to delete it.
You know, I wonder if this happens at the local hockey rink. You show up, dump your pucks out onto the ice for a warm up "fire around"...then startle an exquisitely disheveled Nick Nolte mug-shot looking dude, who was "sleeping" at 12:30 PM behind the goal net, into consciousness. As he stumbles away, two other "players" arrive...one looking inked out like the drummer from Blink 182, the other rocking a Kramer hair-do and Sabbath upside down cross tattoo on his calf...and as they start blistering gnarly slapshots at the net, they proffer some mystical fungi? Is that a common occurrence at your local hockey rink, softball diamond, or shuffleboard court? Is it?

…a horse that fetches beers and eats cows? OMG to the infinite power…that is the coolest horse! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teHfyby_veU
In other patches news…here’s a bit of what was happening with the patch (yes, there was a staggered release, but you know the deal…different consoles and locations get different roll outs…it’s beyond us)…anyway:
