Finally completed all of the goals in Career Mode, unlocked Officer Dick, time to move on to the Projective Goals, which definitely seem to be a good challenge.

Funny enough it was the Sick Score goals that had me hung up in the career mode. I got obsessed with landing the perfect combo to knock out each sick score in one fell swoop. Once I just accepted the fact that was not the smartest approach, and all I needed was a few good combos instead of one sick one, knocked them out fairly quickly. Now I see in Projective Mode each level has a "get This amount combo" so I guess I had good practice for those. :laugh:

I am looking forward to DLC for this game definitely. Hoping some more levels make their way back to the game.

I am not the biggest fan of these remakes, but this is definitely one I am glad they went ahead and did. Good trip down memory lane for sure. So much so it almost erases the fact the last couple of games in the series have been awful. Key word being almost. :rofl:

Wall riding the bells brings back memories for me. :)

Just go on the roof, go up the one half pipe to get some speed and air, come back down, then fly off the ramp to the DVD. (Y)

I was trying it from the table hops, almost had it a few times, but then did the roof and it was pretty damn easy.

Can't wait for the PC release, will get it for sure. Loved THPS1-3. Hopefully they can fix the little lag you guys are experiencing with the controls.

I honestly do not think there is lag anymore, it is just how the game controls are, and just took some time to get familiar with them again.

This and the fact its now in UE3. Got it today played all the challenges on Warehouse and then had to go out to some mates bit, so left the school for tomoz.

God the music takes me back, was singing along to half the tunes and mumbling the parts id forgot.

Cant wait to skate Marseiles or whatever its called, was my favourite park ever in THPS. No one ever beat my glitching to rake up 8,000,000 combos in the demo. To this day I swear I came within hundreds of thousands, off of getting to go see Tony Hawks at the X-Games :(

As Tony, just get a good run at the table top, no comply and mash grind. Got it on third go, same physics rules as the original PSX version (As in crazy homing randomness!).

    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time

      By Malisk · Posted

      I have this one and it's great, also paired with a Mac. I like the white back aesthetics of it and ability to have all your wireless usb peripherals under a clean lid. 4K @ 120 Hz and 65W usb-c charging is not bad even at its typical price point. The U series is probably better for commercial photo work though; IIRC one reason this one is priced in a different bracket is because it's not calibrated and verified for optimal color accuracy. Not something I think of in daily use, coding, and light gaming though.
