THPS 1 School Gaps

On the road to Gap Master achievement I got all School Gaps in THPS1. This is a super fun level, I’ll have to admit that I had to look up at least a quarter of them, and could not find them myself, mostly due to the naming, all of the rail tricks were actually ledges and I was looking for big rails. None of the warehouse gaps were manuals so I had no idea that the downhill and accross the gym would be manual tricks.

THPS 1 Mall Gaps

This is one of the most memorable levels for me in THPS1 from when I had originally played it. Surprisingly there aren’t as many gaps in it as I thought there would be, there are definitely a lot that you can make up on your own.

Weblogging: Part 1 The one where I blog about blogging (part 1) dbushell.com · dbushell.com [1] Long live RSS! Rss is not dead David, you are right there. I really agree with David that learning a topic well enough to form thoughts and write about it really help learning. You don’t need to be an expert, but forming your own thoughts, putting ideas in words takes a lot more than surface level knowledge. When you try to write or speak about something you quickly realize where your holes in understanding are. Blogging helps me learn. When I commit knowledge to writing it reinforces what I know and shines a spotlight on what I don’t. Most topics require additional research. Even then, I occasionally get things wrong, or miss different ways of thinking, and I welcome corrections. I’ll often update and enrich my posts based on feedback. Without my blog I’d miss other points of view. As they say, the best way to get an answer on the internet is not to pose a question, but to assert the wrong solution! Most feedback I get is constructive. Sometimes it’s blunt but I try not to read into unspoken sentiment. Some people are more direct. If the end result is positive learning, I can ta...
