I remember this game! This was one of the ones that I rented from Blockbuster when I worked there. I remember the magically magnetic rails, and crazy floaty jumps and tricks. Bearing in mind that we got 5 free rentals a week, I still only saw the first level of this game because it got taken back so quickly. It was literally not worth a free rental.

By the way, I'm not going to upload the intro since I'm totes mcgoats scared of getting flagged and losing my "no upload time limit" status on youtube, but I think everyone should see it so they can at least understand the "What if it snowed in San Francisco" references. Thankfully, someone else uploaded it for me. Highlights include Jonny Moseley being super full of himself even in real life, and all the weird-rear end animation in the back half.

We seriously considered it. I was the one who pushed Insetik/Ovues to do this one, one of my major arguments being that the game seemed short and that I had plenty of rope if he wanted to hang himself afterwards.

List Price: $29.95 $7.99

Yup, that's about the same thing as Vintage Stock slowly dropping the price down from 12.99 to 3.99. Also, I was there over the weekend, and while I bought the only copy of this game that was there when I bought it, as of Saturday, there were THREE OTHER COPIES in that store. Which means that A: me buying it caused Vintage Stock to think "Hey, this game sells" and order more (all to be sold for 4 dollars) or B: My LPs have caused everyone who held on to their copies for some reason to finally, finally let go of them.

Hey. I've never tried this game before, but most ppl think it's good, and only a few thinks it SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But i would just assume that it would be good.

OH, I NEVER ACTUALLY PLAYED IT, I'LL JUST GIVE IT FIVE STARS ANYWAYS

Finally a game that is for skiing!!!!! It is a blast also!! At first I had to get used to the menu and setup because it is really poorly set up. But once play the game it is awsome. the storyline of it is really cool and realistic. One downside is that there is no multiplayer, but you can always get around that. If you are a skier it is a must own and if you are a snowboarder definitley consider it.

Ok, the 'storyline' is that Skier X, the generic "full stats secret character" you get for 100%-ing the game, just showed up one day and got all the gold medals and poo poo. How is that cool? How is that realistic? HOW IS THAT COOL??? Is there a part that I'm missing? I really think I am because another review mentions racing and as far as I know, there's only the ten tricking events in the career mode.

As rabid followers of this series (Insetik's mom) probably know, I'm a fan of Sonic games, especially Sonic Adventure 2: Battle for the GC. I played through Sonic 2K6 3 times: once to see if it was good (it wasn't), the second time to get the achievements (not worth it), and the third time for old time's sake (kill me now).

I had nightmares for months.

However, after watching these Jonny Moseley videos, I can safely say that every time I close my eyes, I see this:

I'm highly considering it. I made the mistake of buying Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD so this might actually be an improvement to the physics. As for recording it, maybe if I did so in a retsupurae-bait style since I don't really have any method in doing so outside a Webcam. Though, it wouldn't exactly do the game a disservice.

And fair enough on the deals, honestly I'm impressed that you managed to figure out how to Skii on the moon with magnetic poles. Obviously that's what's going on here. The only way to explain why you seem to gravitate to them and why it's snowing everywhere. The moon is cold.


I would play the poo poo out of a game that provided me with an X-treme part of a balanced breakfast.

I don't exactly remember. He had different signature tricks, which I guess is really the only difference between the characters.

Anyways, I decided to expand on what I said in Part 1 of JMMT and I took my two roommates to Jonny Moseley Boot Camp! That's right, I turned on the game, gathered us in the room, plugged my capture card in, plugged my microphone in, and FORCED both of them to play the game for the first time. Since I'm too good at extreme sports games, this experiment was to show what it looks like for the average person to try to play Jonny Moseley. Inside this video is two amazing runs down the first level, one from both blanktester and alan6541 as different unexpected poo poo happens to them along the way. I hope you find this enjoyable and we'll be back with Part 3 soon. Last one down the slope is a rotten jegg (I have no idea where I was going with that).

What is this game?
Hone your skills and get video-game-certified to fire tens of guns that you could find at your local hunting store! Spend a lot of time shooting at defenseless cans, plates, and cardboard targets. The lack of any background music at all allows you to definitely concentrate as your aim swings all over the place. But the best thing is how this game revolutionizes the FPS: there is absolutely no violence or blood here!

That video was dedicated to all of you who say that blanktester and I have the sharpest quips in town. Did you hear them all? They were pee sweet. Also, I just want to point out that when compressing, that 37 and a half minute video actually took just as much time as a regular 17 minute game episode. Because SO LITTLE WAS GOING ON that there was lots of empty space to burn through in the compression.

I tried but it just didn't look right. I don't know if everyone else can see this, but I had to recreate a lot of the left side of his face (our left, not his) because the picture had his hand over that part. I think if I was better at GIMP I would have tried harder.
