I am in Taiwan, which makes it an even 12 hour time difference to the East Coast I still have around 70 offline challenges to be done, but that's progressing slowly as I am online a lot...

Well, we are 14 or 15 hours apart, so that does put a strain on getting our schedules matched
Usually the weekend offers good chances (I get up "early" and you playing late). Monday maybe be yet another typhoon, maybe offering me another "holiday"

Did you get that jump challenges on the beach sorted yet? I noticed in another challenges that maybe it can work if one of the two is parked not between but in front of one of the ramps, may be worth a try. (I think that's how it happened when only one of us got the Miss, the other one was actually on the ground at that moment...)

Well, we'll need it for 102%, so next time we are in there together again we should try once more.

What's the problem on the beach?  I've run into my own problems in the past and might know the answer.  The one I've had the most problems with is a 3 player timed challenge.  You have to get vertical takedowns over near the Navy area, then race to a tollbooth on the freeway.  I've done that one probably 10-15 times where one player would get the vertical takedown, but it wouldn't count.  It's very frustrating.  We discovered the trick to that one was for the person not getting the takedown to change cars.

It's the 2-player challenge where you need to get 3 Near Misses at the ramps on the beach. We were trying it a few times the other day and couldn't finish. What weirded us out at the time was, that several times one of us would get the Near Miss, but not the other. We got to the point where we understood we must jump at an angle to avoid crashing, then I had to leave.

I completed this one today in which was, I believe, the second try. You just chain the three cars and then drop at each step, or something like that.

I did that two player one two nights ago.  We had no problems.  Hopefully you'll get it soon.  It is strange how sometimes one player gets the miss and the other doesn't.  Getting aerial near misses is my least favorite type of challenge.

As for the three player one, we knew what to do and how to do it.  But one player would get a vertical takedown (I know because the game told me I was taken down with a vertical takedown), but it wouldn't register for the other player.  Be glad it worked for you.  It's very frustrating when it doesn't work right. Between getting that one myself and helping others, I've probably done that one 20-30 times.  And most of those times were re-doing it because it wasn't working right.  But the last time we did it, the guy who was having the problem thought his car was too light and got a heavier car.  I'm not sure if that's true or not, but it did the trick.

I'll probably be on a lot this weekend since I don't have to work OT. Would love to get some more challenges done. I think I have about 70 cars and 10 bikes.

Also, I just bought a 500 GB hardrive for the PS3 Supposed to arrive around tuesday!

Not sure what I'll be doing this weekend.  I know my wife was bugging me to work on the garage. I'll try to find some time to get on and join up with you.

In other news, I'm 6-7 challenges from my Burnout license and 100% on the trophies. I've saved the stunt runs for the end since I enjoy those.  So the last few shouldn't be a big problem.  Then I'll be back to 102% on the cars, 101% on the bikes and 100% on the trophies!

Yes, did I not post that here?  Must have been in a PM.  Anyway, I picked up a PS3 Eye earlier this week.  So just a few more challenges and I'll be 100% done with trophies!

I don't like barrel roll ones...

Well, like I said, I hope the reason for only registering one was, that one of us was actually not in the air. That would mean, one of us could actually stay parked at/on the ramp while the other one jumps three times, then vice versa. We tried parking between the ramps, but that didn't seem to work.

@Erik:
I'll be on Sunday, which is your Saturday evening (I'll try to get up early, so there'll be sufficient overlap). As I still have lots more challenges to do, you should host and choose.

Sounds good, as I said in an earlier post, our OT was cancelled for this weekend, so, I'll have some unexpected free time on my hand.

I'll be playing Friday night until the baseball game starts at 10pm Eastern time.

Most likely be on a lot on Saturday (morning, afternoon and night) taking breaks for food and drink (and the ocassional bathroom trip).

I won't be on tomorrow, from what I can see now. But like I said, I'll try to meet up with you on the later part of your Saturday evening. I'll send you a XMB message when I get there.

I am thinking to do that too. I only have a 40GB PS3 and really could do with some more space. Although I was wondering if 500GB is a little overkill... On the other hand, there is no such thing as too much space. But maybe 320BG will also do? Hmmmm.

I'd be interested to hear a report on how this goes when you complete.  Online instructions sound straightforward but i'd like to hear if that is really the case.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!
