    Taking the idea from the GB Halo Reach Beta Gamertag List (all credit goes to big_jon), I have set up a gamertag for use with the Blur beta. 
     
    The gamertag is: 
     
    GBBlurBETA 
     
    The idea is to have users of the site add this gamertag to their friends list so they can use the "friends" feature of the gamertag and check out the gamertags of fellow GBers.  
    We can also just create a list here so it more organized. 
     
    EDIT: I'll also keep a list of the gamertags here in case people don't want to or don't have the room to add the hub gamertag.

    Just fired a friend request your way, and I'll probably be on in three hours or so after errands to try my hand at the Supercar playlist. This should be pretty handy for dragging other Giant Bomb Blur players into the fray.

    So how are you guys finding the game so far? I think it's definitely fun but some things need to be tweaked. For example, it's too easy to keep a lead and too hard to catch up when someone has that lead. The shock item doesn't seem too effective and the inclusion of a "blue shell" item might benefit the game.

    Nooo. No "blue shell". Although it would be pretty damn funny if they literally put the blue shell in the game. Cartoon art style and all.

    Well it doesn't have to be exactly like the blue shell but something to make the races closer would be appreciated.

    Yeah I don't think the shock thing (forgot what it's called) is quite effective enough. I like the ability to at least have a chance to avoid it though. If they make changes, I think they need to keep an element of skill involved in anything that game changing.
     
    I only got to play a few rounds yesterday but I plan to play a few more today. Fun stuff though. I actually came in 1st on my last race of 10 players. My heart was pounding like crazy towards the end.    : )

    @JJWeatherman: Ya this game has been a huge adrenaline rush so far. One of my favorite things about the game is the feeling that you are barely in control of your car at any moment, not to say that it doesn't control well but that the sense of speed is incredible.

    Absolutely agree with this. Shock's great at closing the race up if a bunch of people grab it and fire away in a short period of time. However, if they're going to be sparse enough that it's not a frequent power-up choice, the leader's going to keep running away. Three bursts of lightning aren't going to stop the leader in most cases. Maybe the amount of bursts could vary based on the leader's distance from second place, or the distance in separation of the top five cars/25% of the pack. Running away by a huge margin? Drop six to ten lightning bursts on the leader and let him suffer. Heck, just having shock as a pickup option in more groups of power-ups would help.
     
    Something fair should be done, though. I ended up running away and winning a race on the outskirts/dirt track by over half a minute, and only one shock was thrown at me. I just shielded and plowed through, but I could have weaved around and avoided such few bursts just as easily.

    Don't know where you heard that. I've been racing against plenty of unknown people in public matches. That said, you can join friends and their race lobbies pretty easily.

    @JJOR64: You don't have to play with people on your friends list. The beta has a simple matchmaking service. The idea behind the gamertag is to make it easier for GB users to find each other while playing.

    Anything at or past 10:30 PM Eastern tonight would intrude on Giant Bomb's weekly Forza Race Night. Other than that, I'm up for a Blur race night any other time tonight. I've found the party functionality in Blur is excellent for gathering up to ten people together.
