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. :)

I'm stuck on Venice Beach, that damn DVD!

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!).

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      That made me laugh! Thank you
    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

      Because of what they have done to VMware I will never buy anything Broadcom again.
    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By Nick H. · Posted

      With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
