What the hell is Acclaim thinking about when they say they're gonna pay for anyones speeding tickets on Oct 11th when Burnout 2 is released. Are their entire team retards or something?

I mean what the hell. This is the most stupidest outrage EVER. I cannot express how stupid this is. This will only encourage all the people that know about this story like the racing game phenatics and rude boys with their cars to think 'Oh it's okay If I speed, Acclaim are going to pay for it' Whoops....he just knocked over a child. And do Acclaim not realize that people can get points taken off their license for speeding??? AHHHHHHHH HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE NUTS!!!!

hey guy (who started this topic) it appears to me there are more morons on this planet than there are intelligent people. It is a sad fact that some people play computer games or watch films and think it is right to mimmick what they see. We have to put up with it. the daily star, mirror, and sun are a good example. No news, just garbage, WHY? because it sells to people who choose not to think, just gossip and act like neanderthals. Acclaim obviously fall into the MORON category as they condone irresponsilbility and complete lack of thought for 'normal' people.

or perhaps not :)

One of my mates got hit by a car about a week ago, she's now sueing the bloke and is already got a 10,000 unagreed setlement from the bloke and shes trying to get more. Genius.


I might stalk some bloke who has just bought burnout2, then follow him to his car. THEN after he pulls out from the parking spot... WHAM i jump hip first into his car, complain and get his numbers. Then when i get home get my brother to hit my hip with a pole or something to increase the bruising. Batta boom batta bing! This way i wont sue the bloke for a tiny 10K. I'll sue acclaim. They will give me more because they dont want bad publicity of their game causing damage to prodestrians. God im good.

cheers possum for informing me.



I already realise that i am not the faverate person here for many of you. So before anyone comes up with a cocky comment like " why dont you put your head in first?" or "Can i hit you with the pole instead of your brother?" ETC.

One step ahead of the game.

id due acclaim, and failing that id sue marilyn manson, im sure some lawyer could come up with a reason as to why his music influenced the driver/fish to drive extra fast/commit fishicide.

I'm sure if your fish strolled out into the middle of the road and got squashed by a madman driving fast cos he doesn't have to pay for the ticket.... I'm sure you'd be pretty annoyed.
