Bugs, errors, glitches… Expect all of this and more as we roll out a new site design in bits and pieces as it is evolving, instead of completing it all at once like a sane person would.
Skate and Annoy: Daily
Cheapskates v Skate Machine
I hadn’t planned on posting Tyler Skate Machine until I made the mistake of digging into it a little. It turns out the Skate Machine, a toy from Sungold meant to be used with their Galaxy Warriors line of toys is pretty much a ripoff of the Cheapskate from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which makes sense since the Galaxy Warriors were set up to be an off-brand version of Masters of the Universe in the first place.
– Thanks to Bobcat for the tip.
Killer Smile By Hot Lunch
Doug Avery made a music video for Hot Lunch‘s song Killer Smile in the style of 90’s videos games with a nod to the 720 and Skate or Die video games, plus a handful of easter egg references to the Bones Brigade Video show, and 70’s wheels brand UFO. It’s really well done, right down to the time appropriate aspect ratio. It’s sure to make you want to skate, play video games or rock out. Maybe even buy a motorcycle…. (Hey Wes!)
