Be Excellent To Each Other

GTE! IT!

Spurious invites are funny, though - just ask Zardoz.

I have this feeling that by the time I get it and play the single player a bit to not be utter shit, you'll all have abandoned it though. Plus I am scared of your cameras.

You utter fucking wimp. There's no such thing as "shit" at this game in multiplayer.

But... I would be paying money to have more of your face in my living room. This is the wrong way around, normally I would pay money to have less of your face visible.

Anyway, the new update is released on the 10th July to add more online modes, which I want to arrange a "night" for. YOU'D BE A FOOLE TO MISS OUT DRUM MONKEY TIT.

Don't be gay, Gaywood!

Yep, we'll be playing this for a long while yet. It's a nice change to CoD4, as you don't have to be ultra-alert all the time, and most of the time I find myself cruising around forgetting that we're meant to be doing challenges...

.. talking bollocks all the time.

BUT IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE NAME.

See, this does sound good.

It's more of a chill-out game than a "OMFG! KILL KILL!" type game. The first time you play it online, you'll spend the first 20 minutes smashing into people and giggling. It always happens.

I will try my very best to be around tonight at 11.

Dickie, just get it, you will definitely not regret it for £22.

...and you will see my face.

You can also see pundabaya menacing you with various implements of mayhem. Last night it was a sledgehammer and a large sword!

*ahem*

That was just a momentary lapse in competence.

Playing the single-player isn't really necessary, it's fairly 'pick up and play' as regards the multiplayer.

However, personally speaking, I was at first enamoured by all the various things to drive past/through, all the different races, how it's a big cohesive world etc. But then I rapidly became bored when I realised that almost every race is the same (the actual tracks are frankly rubbish compared to those of previous Burnout games, I strongly believe), and that multiplayer mostly consists of three or so people sitting aroung chatting and going 'Ooo, nearly' whilst you (me) spends two hours trying to parallel park. I dunno, I really don't see why it's so fiercely loved here, I really don't.

The upcoming DLC however might be enough to reignite my interest, and it's y'know, not... shit.

I don't fiercely love it (like I do CoD4), but it's entertaining to go and just whizz around the roads, smashing into people and having some banter (and laughing at their cam shots), whilst the challenges provide a vague sense of coherence.

I'd say it's more game-based relaxation than active-gaming, or at least I would if those phrases made much sense.

Yep, I'd alluded to that in my posts on the subject. I can switch off and just listen to Dimrill cackling with glee as he knocks Pundie off the car park for the fifth time in a row...

Oddly, someone appears to have just mugged me whilst simultaneously forcing a copy of this into my pocket.

To coin a phrase: 'Bostin'.

Do you have a camera Craster?

No. This is a good thing.

Bah.

It won't be. You'll be cursing our rugged, manly features and wishing you could gurn quite like Dimrill as you slam us from behind...

Aye. I love playing this with Bezzies, it's just a fun evening chatting crap and helping people to get their skills up (and being helped!). It's a great game to play when you're not wanting a complete concentration game.

The cameras really add to it as well.

You too can mock Dimrill for looking like an orange. (Unless he sorts out his camera settings)

You can talk, Little Boy Blue.

Only on Uno and in certain conditions.

As compared to Dimrills constant orangeness. Even the right shape.

He is very corpulent. A MASTODON.
</protobezzie>

Head like a fucking orange.

You have been Tangoed.

CUS, at least I don't sit around at the bottom of the ocean saying "Phhhh, where's Jonah?"..... a lot.

Good Burning Out to introduce Craster to the world of Burning Out and Burning Out his car with Burning Out last night. Now all we need is a doctor to tend our burn wounds...

So is burnout better, or forza TOO?

Depends what you're after. Forza = quite boring car simulator, Burny = FUN FUN FUN arcade smash em up with added camera gurning action.

SOLD!

Both have their merits Mr Chris, like Dimrill says though Forza is spoddy and Burnout is slapstick.

Burnout Paradise is currently £25 at Tescos.
Forza 2 is about £15-20 most places.

I am more of a second-hand through amazon or CEX man myself, being a big Scrooge.

I is not a spod, mind.

No, wait, I am.

Probably best to buy both then.

Burnout Paradise is normally £30 second hand, that's why the £25 for a new copy at Tescos is quite groovy.

Last night was super crazy fun. I do need to learn the map a bit though.

You'll learn it subconciously over time. It's not as big as it looks, once you know where the landmarks are.

Yes.

And you'll learn the map soon enough.

Burnout Paradise is £22 in CEX.

I may have a copy.

WIN.

Team Fortress 2 tonight then chaps?

Halo, I think.

I'll be around at 11ish again tonight for some Burning Paradisco.

Accept my invites you 'orrible lot.

Sorry, no dice. Tomorrow I can stay up as late as I like!

Landmarks = Dimrills car. Sitting, waiting to be hit.

I can't wait to be a bezzzie mate, like.

I'm so excited I may wee.
