I'm about as into gaming as you can get, and I think that shit is fucking ridiculous.
"Lol lets watch someone else play fucking video games." That was what you did while you waited your turn back when, and it sucked dick. That's why we have multiplayer that allows like a zillion people to play at once.
Although fighting games are kinda fun to watch other people play. Only because I really really suck at them.
--------------------
Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

I love gaming too and every now and then I do watch some lets plays and speed runs on youtube, but I have seen people become completely obsessed with games to the point they think theyre gonna make a career out of it. I heard ESPN is even covering e-sports now.

So i had friends in high school that skated, and i hung out at the local skate park a lot but mainly just to chill and smoke. I was more into bmx and never owned my own board, though my brother did and I would ride my friends from time to time.
Well im almost 27 and got my first board today. Went to the local shop and got a blank complete. I dont plan on doing tricks, i just wanted it for getting around school faster and to skate to work since i live nearby and drive a big ass truck that pisses away gas.
Im pretty excited about it none the less...anyone else here skate? Any tips for noobz?
Fuck yea bud! I skated for about a decade but I stopped a couple years ago when I fucked up my ankle at the park. Just couldn't afford to get hurt like I could when I was young. I heard the owner of my favorite skate shop back in the day just opened a new spot though, I'll probably go buy a board from him.
My only advice is don't push mongo because only fucking assholes do that. And watch out for cracks and tiny pebbles because they WILL fuck you up.

And I think roller bladers and skateboarders have a beef or something.
Fruit booters vs. Wood pushers 
I was good at both. I started rollerblading when i was like 4 and probably could have gone pro but I quit when I was like 13 and took up skateboarding. Skateboarding is so much more challenging and a lot funner.

I play a ton of LoL, and I watch their pro games and stuff while i'm studying (Different days are different region's "days").
Ironically because NA is on the weekend I can never watch it because work. haha

Primus - tales from the punchbowl. The old one was a stuffed animal of the pork soda cover.
For some reason the new avatar isnt showing up for me though.

yo Mario. Is there a certain brand or material you would suggest for a longboard that would get a lot of travel time on it? I don't know shit about them anymore.
yo Cheeze. I've been reading that bamboo decks have a long life but that's kinda biased cos I ride one. It all depends on the kind of cruising you're trying do.
Ben's board is pretty sweet for cutting corners or swiveling side to side as you wouldn't get any bite from the board.

Kudos to the skaters out there. I'm more of a bmx person and am most comfortable on two wheels. Skateboards i could never get the hang of.
Ever use a ripstick? Those are a lot of fun.

Have fun with it man, just be safe. I would get some bones bearings and quality cruising wheels if you're really trying to cruise around with minimal pushing.
Skating is life! This is my cruising baby:
Dude, I have that exact same board, and have had for close to 5 years, jesus I would not think I'd ever see it posted on a forum.
It rides so smooth.

Ha nice!!!! Hell yea the shape is reminiscent of a surf board and the ride is soooo butter.
What kind of bearings are you rocking??
I originally got the board because I loved the typography on it but immediately fell in love with everything about it.

I recently found a nice independent board laying in the middle of the street. I decided to take it, I gave it to my nephew last week "dont break your neck bro"
