1.20 GB?!! Currently at 20%. This is going to take a while to download. See you guys in about 40 minutes.

Stogieman · Jun 12, 2009, 02:55 AM

That was quick. Dakar & I already won all the achievements in BSI.

Dakar V · Jun 12, 2009, 09:18 AM

Good luck finishing the events. They are not easy, I will give them that.

Dakar V · Jun 12, 2009, 10:29 AM

There's 500 online challenges in Big Surf Island alone or is that the whole game?

klb5090 · Jun 14, 2009, 08:50 AM

i'm back!
been out of the state/country for a week. i know everyone missed me
i'll be downloading BSI today, so whats the review/update on it?

Can't wait!

Look at that the above link. It's worth the price in my opinion. The ski jump on the island is pretty sweet!

Welcome back by the way! How about those Penguins?

Awesome, i've been waiting since i was 6yrs old for the pens to win it, it was intense.

KCrosbie · Jun 15, 2009, 01:37 AM

Well I've gotten 100% completion on BSI, except for earning the Jansen P12 car, which completing 500 online challenges seems ridiculous. Still got a lot of achievements to earn. Man, getting the elite license is gonna take awhile.

Rumor · Jun 15, 2009, 03:51 AM

I think I may hold out on this until I get a new tv in September. I've noticed that playing on a SD makes a lot of things fuzzy.

Dakar V · Jun 15, 2009, 09:19 AM

So Bogues and I played this for a ridiculous long time last night. We spent 3 solid hours just ****ing around, trying to find the best spots for airtime. We did head to head drag races and tests. It was pretty crazy.

BTW Bogues, your combined airtime record: 11.37 (In case we try again)

klb5090 · Jun 15, 2009, 09:29 AM

Good times last night , we did some crazy ****. Those airtime attempts were awesome. I really can't remember a racing game that I could spend hours not even racing and still want more.
In other news I finished my last BSI achievement and did a few road rages to get my 500 takedowns ( got 44 on my first one)

Dakar V · Jun 15, 2009, 09:39 AM

I seriously can't wait to get back on if we round up all of us again. We need to do a few more marked men on the island.

ajprice · Jun 15, 2009, 11:05 AM

Had a quick go of BSL and liking it so far, I had a look around and won the super turbo dune buggy or whatever its called.

That's exactly my problem with this game - I have almost zero progress in the achievments because I mostly just race around town without doing any of the events!

Dakar V · Jun 15, 2009, 01:22 PM

I also spent some time trying to regain some Time Road Rules that KCrosbie had stolen.

Dakar V · Jun 15, 2009, 04:24 PM

I just realized this game is missing a loopdy-loop.

Assuming the physics could handle one.

Edit: I think I'll be on later tonight if anyone wants join.

Dakar V · Jun 15, 2009, 04:40 PM

Let's kick this up another notch.

Stogieman · Jun 15, 2009, 07:11 PM

Where did you get those stats?

KCrosbie · Jun 15, 2009, 09:50 PM

Nice Dakar. Since you want to make it a competition, I'm game.

Bro, those stats are listed under Criterion's website here.

Dakar V · Jun 16, 2009, 01:14 AM

**** you, stogie, **** you, **** you, **** you.

Stogieman · 02:21 AM

LOL! Just so you know, I took back Lipscomb Way shortly after you signed off. Good luck breaking that record. That was the most perfect run I had the whole night.

Stogieman · Jun 16, 2009, 02:12 AM

Oh nooooo. Look who's king of the roads in BSI. Finally, a leaderboard that I'm 1st in.

klb5090 · Jun 16, 2009, 09:00 AM

Meet up tonight guys ? I'll be on around 9/10 pm EST

Dakar V · 09:14 AM

Just so you know, my objection isn't so much to you having the road rule so much as putting it on the road I have constantly horrifically wreck on every time I attempt to set a rule. So what was the final time? I think I left at 2.58 sec.

Congratulations! Looks like I'm dead last, which is disturbing because I'd say I put a good amount of effort into most of the rules.

Edit: Nevermind, that includes the city where I most definitely mailed in quite a few roads.

What car are you using anyway?

Maybe. Did you forget that Ghostbusters comes out today?

I think it was 2.4something. I was going to post my times but xbox live is down right now (service update).

I believe I pulled those stats from the Island tab which is separate from the city stats.

I'm kidding. I used the fastest car I own... The Something Hawker.

Finally, I found the correct tab. Cars only.

For some reason there's no place to find the City ones, the idiots.

From what I understand, I should be killing you then, and I'm not. I'll give the car a try tonight anyway.

Oh and if anyone hasn't realized the one street (Griffith?) is glitched and you can't get a time under 2 seconds (It won't save the new record).

Dakar V · Jun 16, 2009, 11:32 AM

Ok, here's what confuses me... As far as I know I have better times than K on every road on the island... so how can my total time be slower?

mdc · Jun 16, 2009, 12:38 PM

I finally got around to buying this game yesterday and I'm embarrassed that I didn't buy it sooner.

I think it'll be a long time before I'm playing online though since I'm not very good at the game.

Trust me, you don't need to be good to have fun.

I forget what time zone you're in, but we'll probably be on tonight. 'Course, you'll need the Island to join in the real fun.

Stogieman · Jun 16, 2009, 12:41 PM

Which car were you using for timed road rules? I'm assuming a car I haven't unlocked yet. Something faster than the Hawker?

Dakar V · Jun 16, 2009, 12:43 PM

The Nighthawk (The Legendary Car). As I understand its the second or third fastest car in the game (The Extreme Hot Rod is the fastest, but I don't like it, and it costs money).

Judging by the location listed under his username, I would guess his timezone would be EST.

Dakar V · Jun 16, 2009, 12:52 PM

stogie is gonna write this day down in his diary as the best ever. You've bested me like 89347651 times.

KCrosbie · Jun 16, 2009, 09:27 PM

I may get on soon, but isn't X-Box live down today for service?

Stogieman · Jun 16, 2009, 10:13 PM

Yeah, it's still down for me. I haven't been able to log on all day. Can any of you guys log on right now?

klb5090 · Jun 16, 2009, 10:19 PM

nope just tried to log on, sucks

Dakar V · Jun 16, 2009, 10:21 PM

I love that this is the first time I've seen the 4 of us active, so of course live is down.

sek929 · Jun 16, 2009, 10:27 PM

Hey, I got an xbox live message about this a week ago, you guys need to plan better.

Sorry, just bitter I can't join in the fun.

Dakar V · Jun 16, 2009, 10:31 PM

I knew it'd be down, I was just hoping their quote of up to 24 hours was just pessimism.

klb5090 · Jun 16, 2009, 10:35 PM

in other news, i got my millionaire's club and boosting around the world achievements today...
that may or may not have put me above crosbie....

Stogieman · Jun 16, 2009, 10:37 PM

Who the **** schedules a maintenance day on Tuesday? A day that's normally reserved for game & DVD releases. I'm afraid pop in Ghostbusters. Want to make sure my achievements get saved.

That maybe true. I think you have one more cops and robbers achievement than I do.

Seriously dude, all you need is $20 for the game (brand new) + $10 for Big Surf Island = You getting vertical takedowns on Dakar.
(A vertical takedown is Burnout's version of teabagging)

Just do it! Do it!

edit: Ooops, fogot to include the .gif.

I haven't really been working on it, i think i need 72

Even if you just fork over the 20 and wait a little for BSI, i have some 35 hours already in the game and i hadven't really had it that long.
