Test Drive Unlimited 2 - PC Patch out, Consoles incoming
Well clubs are up and running. I made Stark Industries to test it so we can either use that one or make a different one.
I found that whatever info goes up on the club card is what stays there. I haven't found a way to edit it in any of the club menus. So whatever name and whatnot people up with needs to be what everyone wants. Also there are no custom badges but 15 pages of sticker like badges. Some good but most are pretty bad. This also can't be changed from what I can tell.
edit: hurp durp I'm retarded.. Everything but the name can be changed.

Do we have to have our douches look like Tony Stark to join?
Well, shit. I joined the club, now it's showing a black screen with the spinning loading thing. And when I restart the game it's the same screen.
I had that problem but I restarted again, got up to go to the bathroom and it had loaded. I think it has to upload the data to the server and until that happens it's all wonky.
Yesh it's always something with this game... When will it just work right!

Just sitting here at the starting line, on this 15 mile Eliminator.
Fuck that.
Ah, eliminators. At some point the game should just go 'fuck it' and declare you the winner if you build up too much of a ridiculous lead.
That's basically what I was doing. I just waited a lap, got eliminated, then went to collect my trophy. Oh, I also parked sideways in the middle of the road.
Finished the A4 series last night. Not too bad. Loved seeing Tess in a bikini. Tonight I'll try to take my Ferrari California through the A3 stuff. After those I should be able to buy a Veyron, though I still need to get the A1 license.
Edit: Holy shit, I have officially played this game more than I've worked in the past week.

I spent most of yesterday finishing up the Ibiza roads. Man, that took forever. Hawaii scares the crap out of me.
FYI, you don't get anything special for finishing the roads, not even an xp bonus. It just goes towards your discovery quota for unlocking things. It is good for finding wrecks, though.
Edit: Ugh, early morning posting. You do get an xp bonus for finishing the roads, I was thinking of the events.
Bout dang time. I started using the thumbstick-clicks for zooming.
Also, the Aston DB9 Coupe is the worst for the A4 license. The worst. It slides around more than Torvill and Dean. I should have gone with the Jag. Oh wait, I can! I'll still have 1.5 mill after that

I used the AM DB9 convertible for the A4 races and didn't have a problem. You just gotta be careful with your acceleration.
Oh, and the triggers for zooming has been intermittent. Sometimes it'll work, most of the time it won't. I use the mouse wheel.
It ain't working for me. i just picked up the Jaguar instead, handles ever so slightly better. Done the A4 High timetrials and speed radar challenge, the eliminator can kiss my ass.

Usually I've tolerated them even though they're too long, but 15 miles is just too much. I had 70 points at that race with the 2nd place person having 40, so I had no problem with just saying screw it. Thankfully you don't have to actually complete the race.
What I find hilarious is that the A4 regular championship Eliminator is something like 4 miles. I was so excited to finally get a decent length eliminator. But then I find they added the missing miles onto the High Eliminator.
You guys are making me dread A4. I just bought the AM Coupe too!
Finished finding all the wrecks on Ibiza. I really spent a lot of time customizing my Beetle, kind of a shame that I probably won't use it very much. It looks fantastic.... I drove it around even though it tops out at 75... Did some of the "jolt" and "driving" events.

Eh, the A4 races weren't bad, just that one eliminator.
So I'm driving my Subie up the mountain road in Hawaii. I get to the top of a rise and pause. I see there's another player coming up the road toward me, so I look to see what it is. An Audi SUV somethinorother flies up and rams straight into me.
Rude. But, no harm done.
Then I get the alert. Instant challenge issued! Ok, he's a.. B3. Well, I'm in a A6, that's better, right? Fine, lets do this.
We're off! Annnd I'm behind. Man, look at him go! What's he got in there? He's just flying off of every little rise. Catching mad air, and I'm bouncing around a lot myself. I struggle to stay on the track.
I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to lose money on this. Maybe I should have looked at the stakes before accepting? I have mine set to $0. Maybe his is too? I'm hoping so.
It's probably the default $1,000. That's a comforting thought. I hang onto it.
Damn, he's fast. Maybe he knows this course? Maybe he just sits up here, racing people. It's all I can do to keep up. But I do keep up, and I stay in control.
He doesn't.
He's off the road! I get ahead of him! Then he slams into me again, and he's back in the lead. Bastard.
But now his weakness is clear. He's got speed, but he can't control it. Just stay with him... Sure enough, he goes flying off the hill, and this time I get too much of a lead. There's the finish! He can't catch me! Win!
The stakes? $30,000.

So it goes off the stakes of the person that issues the challenge?
Made a cool 200k, bought myself another house, and went back to the casino.
Pulled out all of my money (300k or so), and proceeded to get all the way down to 20k.. Through some lucky bets I was able to climb my way back up, and only finished down about 10k.
I'm pretty sure losing money in the casino is the only way I can push myself to do some of the challenges.

The casino seems dangerous to me as it's a way to blow through all of your money, but there aren't any really good ways to make money outside of the championships.

Oh wait, they didn't. I swear it worked for me once!
Yeah, it worked for me the first couple times I tried to use it and haven't had any success after that. Finished up the Ibiza cup last night, I'm glad the really long race was forgiving. I ended up wasting most of my winnings on a couple houses and some spiffy new cars so I'll be ready to roll once I get really started in Hawaii. I'm mostly just glad I don't have to do A7 anymore, the Alfa Brera is pretty awful, definitely my least favorite car to drive out of what I have. I should've just gotten the V dub.
Usually I've tolerated them even though they're too long, but 15 miles is just too much. I had 70 points at that race with the 2nd place person having 40, so I had no problem with just saying screw it. Thankfully you don't have to actually complete the race.
Wait how do you finish the event with out completing the race? Don't you have to finish it?

If you don't move, you just get eliminated as soon as the AI finishes its first lap.

Done the Hawaii area 1 Championship and had over $4mill. Bought the Bugatti Veyron Grandsport and then my first house over tat cost over a million. It has a fountain, inside!
I still have well over a million left to buy the necessary cars for the A2/3 stuff.

Man, slow down! You must not get (any more) ahead of me.
You just wait until I get home. It's a three day weekend for me (though I'm going to be gone Saturday afternoon).

Though if people don't want to keep the name then feel free to come up with some other ones.

So if anyone wants to keep playing the game right now, hold off on joining the club.

Did that happen this morning because when I played last night the triggers were still fubar.
