It’s no lie that yours truly, neogeo the prophet, is a master at the art of skateboarding. At least in the gaming world, and specifically in the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game realm. Challenging me to a session of a two-player THPS2 action is like asking a big bully to kick your ass all over the place. But, alas, poor cans mckenzey thought that she could take me to town. So I played her.
The following is a review of the game play we shared: In 20 consecutive games, I KICKED HER ASS ALL OVER THE PLACE!
Now that the review is over, let me explain my mastery of the game to you. Remember that song that “The Boss” did with the E Street Band called "Glory Days"? Well, that’s kinda how you have to look at my THPS2 skills. You see, I’m way too fat, old, balding and lazy to actually go out and skateboard for real anymore, so I relive my lost youth in the wondrously painless world of video games. Besides, the tricks that I can vicariously do in THPS2 are way cooler than I could’ve ever hoped to achieve in real life. Like Kickflips, for example. Or Ollie 180’s. Hell, I can even do Frontside Noseslides as my created skater in the game. Back in the day I could actually pull a Double Hardflip to One-Footed Bluntslide to Triple Kickflip to Manual to a 900 Indy Stiffy. But that’s child’s play in the real world. The video game is much more dynamic with its Shove-its and two-inch curb drops.
So, if there is anyone out there who thinks they could give the prophet any true competition, unlike cans “I-Got-My-Ass-Kicked-At-THPS2” mckenzey, BRING IT ON! And if you win, I’ll sneak you a prize from the cherished dungeon of tastes like chicken’s treasure vault. Email me at neogeo@tlchicken.com with your challenges.
