Finally, Nintendo fans can get a piece of the EA skate action. EA’s video game broke major ground in skateboarding video games, by introducing a more “realistic” skateboarding experience. Many of us have played Tony Hawk’s skateboarding video games, and are quick to note the anti-realism that is found in a lot of the gameplay. Even the latest version “Proving Ground”, with all its steps toward becoming a more “simulation” style video game, was just not that good.
EA skate on the WII is going to feature use of the balance board, and the long rumored “skateboard” controller. Those of you that have the DS will have full scale skateboarding simulation via the stylus.
I for one am not a fan of the stylus, but will venture to say that this is great news for Nintendo fans.

Being a New Jersey Shore based company we run into the problem of Guidos coming in and taking over our shore towns every summer. You may not think this is a big deal, but the shit is getting out of hand. Guidos, wide backs, juice necks, ginnys… Your bound to cross paths with these Italian tool bags here at the Jersey Shore. Guido videos are one of the funniest things on you-tube but, if your not familiar with the term ‘Guido’…. we have posted some photos and video clips below to bring you up to speed. Your typical guido devotes his life to the following things: spiked-out blown-out “brooklyn fade” haircuts, gratuitous portions of hair gel, fine italian linens, cadilac escalades, gym memberships, anabolic drugs, euro-rave velcro sneakers, massive techno fist pumping, tanning salons, jagerbombs, and excessive club drug use. Recently, the local population has grown tired of the guidos and have been very hard on them. We just wanna let all the guidos know that we appreciate the grade A humor you bring to our beaches each summer. Summer would be so boring without these goofy fucks around giving us something to laugh at.
They even have their own website http://njguido.com/
This clip is really funny and defines everything above.
This is the good stuff.
We even have Guidetts
