Race Checkpoints Map

Today I've used senocular's brilliant Interactive Location Map tool to create a map of all the checkpoints that can be set for online routes in Burnout Paradise. Check out the map here: http://www.senocular.com/burnout/?load=http://burnoutaholics.com/KML/checkpoints.xml. You can click any checkpoint and information about the roads crossing at the checkpoint will be shown.

Inside Xbox

The Stunt Run guide to getting into the millionaires club is still up on the inside Xbox feature on your 360. If you have a 360 and still don't have a million on Stunt Run or are struggling with Stunt Run altogether it is well worth checking out.

ILM: What's Yet to Come?

There are a few items on deck for the map.

[Update: complete] For one, I'd like to separate super jumps and billboards into their respective locations (city districts).  This will make them much easier to find, especially if you're looking for that last smash in Harbor Town, etc.

ILM: The Story So Far

As of today, the map contains the following locations:

  • City districts
  • Super jumps
  • Billboards
  • Smashes
  • Events
  • Drive thrus
  • Parking Garages
  • Hidden areas

Clicking on the icons within a locations set will give you a description of that location.  Unfortunately, not too much detail is available for most of the available locations, but over time, that will improve.

ILM: About This Blog

I'm going to be using this wonderful service provided BurnoutAholics.com to document progress on my latest project, the Burnout Paradise, Paradise City Interactive Locations Map ( www.senocular.com/burnout/ ).

Most of the primary work is done. The map currently displays event locations, drive thrus, billboards, super jumps, smashes, as well as a number of other things. But there's always room for more, especially in the world of Paradise City.

A month in

 

A month in and……

Completed the offline,(101%) And my Tourettes has taken a real turn for the worst in the last few weeks, But I’m pleased to say I’m getting into a groove in the game now, Onlines going well at the moment,

The never ending addiction

Burnout Paradise just has something amazing about it, you can play for hours and hours at a time. Never in my gaming experience have I ever wanted to drive up and down the same road to beat my friends time, this just astounds me that criterion could make it so much fun. Racing online is also incredibly fun, especially when you take down someone and just past the finish line first.

Anyone effected by the Earthquake in the UK.

I know I was playing with Kev and PiNps last night and they heard and felt some stuff last night, then a few minutes later lost connection.

Darn another thing to add to disconnects, as well as Live still trying to get better, and Paradise Servers Kicking us out, COD4 and no host migration. The dropouts in Rainbow 6, the list can go on.

Too PC or just too much Xbox?

Last night I was accused of not being able to take Trash Talking by an American lad who joined our Paradise race room.

I don't think that I can't take it... I just prefer trash talkers to have a bit of imagination!
