That’s it for Windows 2000 support. Seems like just yesterday I was checking out the windows 2000 beta, and sure it was a buggy beta but definitely better than windows 98.

Between the world cup, wimbledon and a tall glass of pimms, its great to be in the UK.
Tony Hawk: Ride Controller Has A Use After All (As A Skateboard).

His latest one, Tony Hawk Ride, has an actual toy skateboard that you use to control the game. The game was absolutely horrible and a big flop for the series.

After 5 years+ of blog posts I decided to put them in the archive. Wishing I would have done this on for the May 1 reboot. Needed a fresh look and some fresh content. The main goal is to post to the blog and make a better effort to keep it up to date.
That’s it for now.
