Hope you enjoy them, and keep the questions coming!
Peace, and have a happy Halloween.

Some pics from Ryan Sheckler’s Celebrity Skins Golf Classic
Here are some of the pics from the other day when I got to go to the Ryan Sheckler Celebrity Skins classic, a pretty cool event where we got to go crazy doing the coolest thing about golf… shanking them left and right with total disregard for the noggins of others.
It was a pretty rad time, check out the photos and everyone have a killer weekend!
We Played Medal of Honor Monday night and it was EXPLOSIVE!
I hadn’t messed with the new first-person shooter, Medal of Honor until Monday Night (sorry about ditching Modnation Racers, but there was a long update to install). And I’ve got to day that I was pretty impressed with the game. It’s got a very realistic feel to the weapons and settings, there are less over-the-top ideas like harrier jets and EMP blasts and more real-life things like RPGs, mortar strikes and 1 shot kills.
I know I’ll be coming back to it in time, just because of how easy it was to pick up and play. they made it easily playable for anyone who’s played Battlefield of Call of Duty. Will it replace those two titles as the best in military FPS-land? Not really, but it was a great time playing it online.
Special thanks to Bianconera, nixonmike and the rest for taggin in for the shoot up!
Heading out to the Ryan Sheckler Celebrity Skins Golf Classic
Picture this: A helicopter carrying buckeets of golf balls drops them on to the golf course while hovering in the air. Each ball has a number on it designated to the person that purchased it. The first person to scramble out there , find their ball and knock it in to the hole wins $5,000 with all proceeds going to the The Sheckler Foundation.
that’s where I’m heading in just a few, wish me luck on that hole in one!
Mod Nation Racers tonight at 6:30 PM/PST on the PS3
I’ll try and make some room on my friendslist so that some new players can join in, if you haven;t played in a week or two you might get booted!
Anyways, send a friend request over to me on PSN at Scher1969 and I’ll try and get you in. See you tonight!
Verne Q&A – What’s up in the UK?
I got some fanmail the other day and thought I would go through and answer some of the best questions. Here I answer Katie’s question about what I like to do when I’m in the UK. Enjoy everybody, and keep the questions coming!
Gaming With Verne – October/11/2010 Football
I’t been a while, right? Sorry to keep myself away from you all for such a long time, I understand that can be difficult for some. the good news is that I’m back in the States and I’m ready to play some good old fashioned American Football. So tonight it’s going to be Madden 11 for the PS3 at 6:30 PM PST. I’m going to be clearing out my friends list, so if we never played together then you’re most likely going to get the boot. See you all online!
Check out this hilarious collection of people using album cover stand-ins
I can’t believe I’ve never thought of doing this before (maybe cuz I don’t have any records lying around the house). I’ll have to get on it as soon as I get back, in the meantime, you guys gotta look at these funny images of people using album covers as on set masks. So cool!
Too bad you can’t use C.D.s for the same purpose. And what about MP3s? Pretty soon we’re not going have any physical media to perform cute office-environment distractions with any more!
David Bowie, Kermit the Frog and street performing
I’ve seen plenty of street theater in my time, but I’m not sure anything can top this.
If you were walking down the street and you caught the beginning of this performance out of the corner of your eye, you know you’d go over and watch the whole thing. And that’s a pretty impressive thing in today’s busy world. He gets so in to it, you can’t help but be hypnotised. I fully support guys like this, The Autotune The News crew and anyone else who is out there providing entertaining and funny videos to the internet’s memory banks. Way to go, brother!
