Jul 13 2010Video Games Meet Skate/Snowboarding Video
This a short little skateboarding/snowboarding video called 'Gnarcade' that features a bunch of video game environments and characters. It was created by Knifeshow Inc. and has a little something for everyone: Space Invaders, Bubble Bobble, Pac-Man, Frogger and -- wait for it -- Portal. And speaking of Portals -- did I ever tell you how I used to be convinced the mirror in my bedroom was a gateway to another universe? THAT'S BECAUSE IT WAS. I had sex with aliens through that mirror.
Hit the jump for the video.

Thanks to Chris, who once rode a snowboard off a jump and straight into a Yeti's heart.

I love The World Cup! World Cup is about sportsmanship. My boyfriend and i both think so. He is a sexy black man,lol. I know him via *** (Age m i ng l e)* .*{C00M} *** a nice place for black white singles, to interact with each other…no bounds or extremes in front of true love. . …@love it

Is that a guy or a girl at 0:30?
In doubt, I fap.

That's actually pretty freakin' sweet. Was nice to see Portal in there with the retro games too.

What does it mean?
22. Mr Tea - July 14, 2010 10:05 AM
spanish players are a bunch of sissies. "ow my leg in general, it hurts !!" Actors just like italians.
23. Fragmeats - July 14, 2010 10:05 AM
wasn't expecting portal. awesome fucking video
24. Ron Howard - July 14, 2010 11:52 AM
Now i know why they added all the special effects. The video itself is terribly fucking boring. All the skaters/snowboarders are mediocre at best, as are their tricks.
25. KRag - July 14, 2010 12:18 PM
This is slick...
Anyone know where to get that mp3? Didn't see it on groundupsounds.
26. Krag - July 14, 2010 12:20 PM
found it....you can find a free download link from groundupsounds on Twitter

Video was good, the song was awesome. I give this 4 out of 5 fushigi balls!
28. Owen - July 14, 2010 2:05 PM
Scott Stevens, Chris Beresford and Ben Bogart? Goooood stuff. I don't know why Gus Engle isn't in there too though.
29. keith - July 14, 2010 6:20 PM
@24 - said the fat fuck from his parents couch... just cause you bought tony hawk ride doesn't mean you can skate.
30. Libs - July 15, 2010 5:08 PM
Haha I know those kids
31. Ethaniel - July 19, 2010 4:19 PM
> Space Invaders, Bubble Bobble, Pac-Man, Frogger and -- wait for it -- Portal.
You forgot Zelda (between Pac-Man and Frogger). ;)
32. Ethaniel - July 30, 2010 11:54 AM
My bad, it’s in fact Mario, not Zelda.
