Or something needs to be explained, or it's for friends only, so can some more of mine come online for the test, lol. Or it has not been implimented yet??? Can the Creator give The boss a call to explain how it works, as I'm lost to what is supposed to happen? Thank you.

No News on the time, but Xandu said something about 3am earlier but I can't see that anywhere?? Presumably we have to wait for America to catch up to us.

As we have no powers to make this happen any quicker, all I can advise is try again later!

And hopefully we will be able to join the new challenges tomorrow!!

Kerlav0, he seems to be upset, and making the air blue, with a full moon too. Have sent a personal message to the Boss but nothing, which is cool, but do we have to wait for 3am American time, for this to happen. Darn, English Makers, so English time would be nice, lol.

Just join a randoms room, and he was rather upset the amount of people in his room, lol.

 

Edit: having real trouble trying to do anything on-line, as it will not let me connect to the Paradise servers, did resets and everything, I could possibly do from my end, and still can't do a thing, so have left it till, i think the traffic will be lower.

And Live is playing up again, slower to load stuff.

But I did have some fun on the Paradise double-in-up, so can't wait to get back on, to cause more mayhem!

So far I haven't experienced any lag, except when people join the room, then its only a millisecond or so, Played in quite a few 8 player rooms,  This is absolutely manic when everybody is on the beach competing for the same ramp space, Cheap takedowns galore, Can i just add on the takedown front, when you are going in the same direction at pace, Burnout 3 takedown phyics seem to come into play and its not so easy (top tip,, hit the back wheel arch), good battles ahead i forsee.

If you are in a room with friends you could try the Newton drive to hot tin roof race, I haven't done it in an 8 player yet, but i'm sure if there were any lag issues this would show it up. . Joining other rooms is quick and easy, Providing the servers ain't playing up,

Our American brothers are loud as usual. and there quest in life seems to be to take you down at every availble opportunity, them scream "yeah bitch, how do you like them apples?"  Then hearing them gasp,  "How the flock did you get such a massive flatspin, i'm gonna beat it"   but they don't get anywhere near, lmao x2. 

SNUFFLER, Mrs raaaa and myself would appear to be the kings and queen of flatspin and airtime at the mo, but i can see that changing very soon.

Played the demo to death, loving it, SLUFFER and I have prolly racked up over a million hours on it already, and analysed every jump, shortcut and stuntrun to death,

25th of Jan can't come soon enough.

my dog ate my disc.

And if his dog eats his disk, or if you miss out the 's' (and gets hospitalized), I will rein supreme, as the flat spinning maniac, just wish my Barrel rolls were more consistant, of course Mrs Raa, is great but she does not have a SCAR, as a false leg so can't seem to fly all the time, as her rockets run out. (See Terror Planet). Yes, it seems the servers were having issuses as well as Live doing it's thing, by going slow, but 'e' is now the the most expensive man at the Zook, is that how it's spelt, so he will keep up the long calls and get stuff up again soon, fingers crossed. Again will long distance back rubbs from the Major.

Bill Gates is doing his speach tonight (American time), so that should be interesting, in the light of what happened, it going to be cool to listen to the richest geek in the world, who had the idea of putting a console/media centre in every home, being a geek these dayz is cool, especially if he's rich, lol. But he will be saying some interesting things, from MS and the world of technology, normally better than the Queens speech, but still important. I wonder if there are going to be some surprises, like a Blu-Ray, add on for the 360? As that war will be ending sometime this year, I think?

And the this years movies are looking good, and new games galour, so the 8 will be a good year, for most.

When I was playing with SUFFUR yesterday I experienced quite a bit of lag but I'll choose to blame it on the problems XBox Live is having, Took me almost 8 hours to download the Burnout Paradise demo to my second xbox yesterday  (7 failed attemts).

No games could be played online as they signed me out because of updates and of course the download of any update failed. Things seems to be working better today.
