I used to be into the whole Mega park crap, too; fluorescent clothing, easy mode etc. Probably because i was 11 at the time.
It still is crazy to me how people keep on joining the site this late in. Welcome.
So I got really busy and haven't been back in a while, but since I'm going through another Skate3 binge figured I'd stop back in here.
Never did get the whole youtube BS working, but oh well. Maybe I'll get a cap card or something.
The bigger news is that after not skating for like 8 years, I got the itch again and bought a new board.
Getting really pumped as the snow melts outside, and I can't wait to get back out there. Found out recently there's a small community skate park a mile or 2 from my house, and a nice indoor park within 30 mins. I always sucked and pretty much just hurt myself, but it sure is fucking fun. I'm going to force myself to go back to basics and try and learn right and get comfortable before getting caught up in the "omg i cant even olliez" bullshit.
That's all for now, cheers mates!
Just got OG skate yesterday and I forgot just how good the game was. Ordered it when I realized I never actually owned it, only got to play it at friend's houses back before I had a PS3. By the time I got my PS3 skate 2 was already out, and I played the shit out of that until skate 3 was released.
for me was a surprise too when i came back to play s3 and discovered that reel was tooken off but i'm using youtube uploader ( is says ea error like 4 times, but still trying that will work )
If you guys are still rocking a windows computer there are capture devices around 50$
Quality isn't great, pay more for better quality I suppose.
If it's a badass windows PC there are methods to bring it up though.
Nothing beats throwing In OG and just cruising, even a month later.
Personally skate 2 is my favorite, but they all feel so different.
It's fun to cycle between the three.
I hear ya about the weather too,
Just had a session today, kicked my ass.
All that hibernating.
So welcome then, if you have questions,
I would use the search function first.
Done it for years, threads everywhere.
Response to my previous..
If you guys are ever interested in the 50$ capture device I dug up some links.
You'll need an S-Video Cable:

Three Female Splitters:

And a Dazzle DVC 100:

Prices seem to change often on amazon, I got everything here for 50$ even a few years back.
Should run you like 70$ now, which isn't bad if you know how to boost quality.
Other Devices are up to 150$ Plus
It's just about formats and settings..
it'll save you so much money if you have a decent computer to boost the quality.
and thus;;

Just skip a few seconds in, look at the picture and close it, then look at the next one.

In comparison;
As you can see, A decent computer setup and the right program & settings, can get it looking pretty damn good.
If anyone wants to know what settings I use, How to setup the capture device, etc.
Just hit me up. It's really very simple once you understand it.
Hope it helps someone.
I've heard good things about Roxio too.. 54.99$ by the way

honestly I wouldnt spend 50-70 on that CapCard..... when you can just Craigslist a Pvr for just as cheap now days
(obviously Denver but just for proof)
$60 - http://denver.craigslist.org/vgm/4374221851.html
$70 - http://denver.craigslist.org/emd/4348526503.html
they are becoming cheaper now
Hey, there's an option.
Good stuff Man.
You use craigslist much?
I don't know that I trust people that much anymore haha.
Do you need certain PC specs for the pvr as well?
Only reason I was suggesting sub-par capture devices.
