A few EA Black Box Skate 3 screen captures were released today and it just keeps looking more and more like video every generation. Makes us wonder what will happen when we can just put our own face on a player and crank out banging video parts without even having to go outside or get wrecked. What will that do to the skate industry?

Guaranteed, if we’ve posted something newsworthy about what you’re searching for over the past six years, it’s in there.

The law firm that represents Tony Hawk, Morris Yorn Barnes & Levine, has just announced that they have added three more names to their firm’s title. After adding David Krintzman, Todd Rubenstein and Alex Kohner to the title the company will now be known as Morris Yorn Barnes Levine Krintzman Rubenstein & Kohner.
We feel badly for the receptionists. . . obviously, no one at the company is thinking of them. “Thank you for calling MYBLKRK? My black ark?”
Follow the jump for the entire release and you’ll understand much better why Tony’s contracts are always pretty buttoned up.
