Just to let you all know there is a new members only contest, sign in and it is currently the top story on the home page. If you are not a member yet, register and activate your account to see our member only content.

The first rule of this contest is not to talk about the contest anywhere except for in the contest comments. I think you can guess what the second rule is.

OK, I'm off to do some racing and watch the BB8 final.

Umo sent me a message saying congrats on being mentioned in the Crash FM Podcast on Criterion Games website, but that they thought I was a guy. So I got all excited and downloaded Episode 3 of the Podcast to have a listen.

Around minute 27 I get my mention, but embarrassingly its to say about my previous blog about the Podcast saying that even I didn't listen to it and I run a fansite about Burnout!! how embarrassing

Just watching We Are Scientists playing the hell out of The Great Escape on BBC3's Reading fest coverage. I had no idea this song was so HUGE the whole crowd seem to be singing along... do they all play Burnout????

I'm starting to think that I really should go out more often... it's kinda sad that my main access to new music is through Burnout's EA Trax!

For those who don't already know Criterion have started doing podcasts on their website - Go to our Links page to get there.

They have put up 2 Episodes so far, the first one talks about E3 2007 and the second one talks about what next gen means to the developers and lots of technospeak which meant I didn't listen to it all!

They are both quite long, but worth a listen on a rainy August afternoon.

I played a bit of Revenge last night and as none of my friends list were on Revenge I was joining random rooms.I was kinda annoyed by the amount of people with sexually explicit gamertags, so much so that I wanted to file complaints and force people to change their tags to something more appropriate. But its kinda hard to do that on Revenge now, I tried just jumping into a room and jumping out again hoping to see the members of the room on my recent player list. But no, you have to have completed a race with people before they appear on your list.

After a couple of months of Xandu living here and putting Forza 2 in my 360 far too much I will be back on Burnout Revenge with a Vengeance!

Xandu is flying back to Norway today so for a few weeks you will find us both playing Revenge again.

Hopefully I will get organised enough to set up both my 360's so the next time we are sharing a house for a while we will both be able to get online at the same time. Especially if Paradise is going to be out, I don't think I will be able to share my 360 anymore then!

Warning -This is a Personal Blog and has nothing to do with Burnout!

We are going to a  Wedding  this weekend and I am excited!! We are going to be staying at a hotel as its the other side of the country and as its quite close to where my Mum lives we may take a drive down there too to say Hi! I hope the sun shines!

EA announced on the 1st August 2007 that the servers for Burnout Revenge on the PS2 and Xbox will be shut down on the 1st of November 2007.

This announcement was publicised on a few forums but nobody seems very concerned, so I suppose EA have made the right decision. 

I was not surprised by the announcement as the Xbox version of Revenge was like a ghost town online pretty much as soon as the 360 version was released.
