Stunning! *quality stuff
Unfortunately reviews say the difficulty is just as realistic, so if you aren’t a superbike rider you’ll have trouble advancing.

Still, we’ve come one hell of a long way since excite bike!
I hope Road Redemption, the upcoming Road Rash style motorcycle combat game, looks 1/2 that good.

Mr. Yellow pants must have some serious road rash!

Soooo much road rash

ED is certainly one of the best games of the year. I got a HOTAS for it myself. Would love to have a Rift or even head tracking to support it.

Got to disagree with @shagen454 a bit on Shadow of Mordor which I liked a great deal. Wildstar was okay, but it and ESO both need to be F2P or B2P (ala GW2). AA, I dumped $150 on, and that is disappointing, though it was great at the time, I just burned myself out on it. Not as disappointing as Evil Within, my biggest regret of the video games I got this year. I agree Alien Isolation, was great, and I haven't spent enough time with Divinity to really evaluate it much. Hearthstone I can't even make it past the AI missions... lord I suck at video games.... probably shouldn't have got Lords of the Fallen given that I'm so bad at games as that game is brutal.

For others we have Gauntlet as a fun diversion, Hand of Fate, Nosgoth (been in since early beta), Road Redemption is a decent homage to Road Rash, South Park: Stick of Truth, Starbound, Zombies Monsters Robots is a fairly good F2P shooter... I can't remember if Kerbal Space Program came out this year or last... The Endless series (Dungeon of the Endless and Endless Legend)... The Evolve alphas (well, one alpha down so far, which was great and one coming this weekend, and more a next year game anyhow)... Titanfall was a great deal of fun.

At or at least near the top though is ED (I personally didn't stream it or make as many videos about it as I did others, it's still a great game). I'm glad I went with ED over Star Citizen, at least as they stand now. I seriously looked into head tracking, but it's just too pricey for me at the moment. I got a Thurstmaster X Flight HOTAS though off Craigslist for a decent price and that helped the game. I haven't updated it to Beta 3 yet, I'm sure I'll need to rebind stuff on the HOTAS and in Voice Attack... and this weekend is the Evolve alpha, so I'll probably be busy with that, especially as there is no NDA this time.

Similar here, though it hearkens me back to Road Rash on 3DO (yeah, I'm one of the few people who had one of those overpriced systems):

That and the 3DO release of Star Control 2 (which the relatively recent remastered version released for free as The Ur-Quan Masters borrowed a lot from) redeemed the system.

Am I the only one who can't help but think of the game Road Rash on Sega Genesis as I watch this? Hell, I never thought anything in real life could get so close to my all time favorite racing game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JimhxCE0hhA

aaaaah Downhill boarding.. The speed, the thrill, the excitement and the excruciating road rash....
I feel sorry for the deer.. He was aiming for a buick and got a boarder... If your really quiet. You can hear the laughter of the rest of the herd.

I once hit a little patch of black ice and went down doing maybe 10kph. I was wearing jeans and despite the low speed the pavement still wore through and gave me road rash on my ass. Lesson learned.

As for this asshat, you know what we call guys like this? Organ donors.

*eia

..said, one of the idiots with road rash and a concussion the next day because you decided to play chicken with a 85mph 300 mile wide Hurricane.

::shakin' mah head::

"there's just so many ways to get killed" - yes wrap yourself in cotton wool and continue to watch your cable tv, stay safe people!

Do you raid without a helmet? Then don't skateboard without one.

Any time you're going this fast you should have a helmet. It also helps to lower your center of gravity so your body glides across the ground rather than slamming against it. Better to have a little road rash than a concussion -- or death. I have a pretty nasty scar from road rash but I've never hit my head. If you find yourself losing too much skin while longboarding, go get yourself a jacket made for absorbing the inevitable friction from sliding across the road.

I don't mean deaths. I meant injuries to the riotters.

You know, in hindsight I'm sure I would have regretted it... but if that was my truck and I was there? I'd punch the switch into 4H and give out a bit of road rash and street pizza to everyone in front of me... if you're not part of the solution, you're traction material.

And you wouldn't care if they sue you with multiple lawsuits?

Well... that's the neat thing about BC vehicle insurance. It's what's called a "crown corporation", basically a for-profit company controlled by the government. It means we have limited choice in insurance, but oddly, because our elected officials have to get insurance too, the rates stay low (oddly enough, ICBC still makes a solid profit... hmmm?).
Now, as for my little diatribe, which was mostly hyperbole and chest thumping. Should one decide to perpetrate what I described, BC law forces the plantiffs to either sue the driver directly (getting less than dick) OR sue/settle with ICBC (for guaranteed thousands). Not both. I would think most people would go for the guaranteed cash, rather than try to get blood out of a stone.
Another plus, if it was considered only one incident... my discount of 43% (safe driver) would go down to 0%, and, due to the already low insurance rates, I'd pay like $350 more than my previous 43% over 4 years, then I'd be back at 43%.
Also, there would be arguably enough evidence for self-defence to keep me out of jail. So it'd be win-win for everyone. I doubt I'd kill anyone, I'd only be going slightly faster than human sprinting speed.
