Soap: LMFAO

Also, I decided to get into Time Trials. It will take me a while until my times aren't total crap, though.

I really hope to make next week's Kartparty, though at the moment...chances of that are sllim :( Additionally, If I miss that one I won't be able to Kartparty for 2 Weeks as I will be overseas... ;__;

So I was looking for the cartridge, right?

Well, I did manage to find it...

...the exact moment everybody left. Now I'm doing WWs. ;P
rust45
Whoops, I forgot about the Kartparty today. How was it?
NaomiMinette
Horrible (at least for me)... All we did was just stalk high VR players.
pieguyn
I forgot about it too, rofl. Oh well, hopefully next week's one will be better :P (too bad I couldn't test my new combo more T_T)

Yet you two remembered the new session and not the one you've been showing up to for what, at least a couple months now? HMMMMM... *cough*

I kinda spaced out yesterday, I was even going to mow the lawn yesterday, but before I knew it, it was too dark to mow. And then I realized that I also missed the party.

XD I've done that sort of thing before, too. Don't feel too bad. I mean, I almost missed it just like that what, a week ago?

'K, let's try 5 PM Central Time again. Just two things to note:

-Registered osu! users get priority over those who aren't registered in osu! (just in case we max out again).
-This will be Worldwides. Yes, we might end up with 7 people in the same WW room. However, at this specific time you're going to wind up with lots of people coming and going and it's a lot easier to deal with this in WWs. Of course, we will be starting in a low-VR room for the lowest possible waiting times.

Speaking of which, everybody who wants to join should add either Blaze or myself ahead of time so you can just tag us after we tag the low-VR person, whoever we wind up using. Just tell us your FC at the start of the kartparty and we'll add you back.

No, really, 5 PM is before dinner time for us Westerners. We need something flexible to work with us having to AFK at any moment, and even if we have to deal with some randoms it's just easier that way. Plus, this way we can get started immediately so that the Europeans can get as many races as possible in before having to go to bed.

BTW, the main session is still at 9 PM on Saturdays. These will be community races if all goes well.
bomber34
Sounds okay for me ._.

Sry, I won't be able to join you cuz I'm not feeling very well today. :P
Maybe next week. ^^

Oh yeah, this.

His mm impression failed miserably, though. He couldn't even get the damn country right!

BTW, kartparty in an hour
NaomiMinette
So how about that 1 VR dude?
Soaprman
He multiplied his VR by 16 with that race. I wonder if he spent the next race disconnecting to get it back down to 1.
NaomiMinette
So I'm just wondering: where are the previous kartparty players? ._. (Xgor, Mianki, Derekku, etc.)

Xgor: Dead
Derekku: Dead
Mianki: Wasn't even that active to begin with
Kirby: Dead and ^
CNM: Explanation was posted earlier in this thread, he should be back soon enough
Inori: Hurt himself
Gloop: For some reason his 3DS's battery was in the fucking trash can. He'll be there next week.
Hitler: Butthurt

And of course Yoshi came back from the dead last night. ;P
rust45
So anyone that doesn't play MK7 regularly without a reason is officially dead?
Soaprman
"Dead" is the politically correct way of saying "doesn't love us anymore".

Fun fact: I can't access to wi-fi at my school that well so no point in joining kartparties nowdays

Residences are the only places without Wifi though.

'K, Friday kartparties are now permamoved to 5 PM on Fridays (I'll edit the post later when I'm not lazy). Oh, and whether we do WWs or communities depends on how many people show up.
NaomiMinette
There's a huge chance I won't be around for both kartparties this weekend. An MMORPG I've been waiting for is doing a stress test this weekend (and this weekend only), and even though I won't actually be able to do a whole lot seeing as it's only pre-alpha, I still may stick around to chat with others who were also looking forward to playing it.

Never mind... There was surprisingly a lack of things to do compared to a video I've seen, so I should be able to make both kartparties now.

I actually remembered earlier, at like 3:30 PM. I blame my brother's Rachet and Clank.

Also, I posted a "I forgot" in #videogames and, like, my name wasn't capitalized. I was, like, soooooo offended, dude. I am, like, so going to sue.
rust45
I was busy with other stuff today, sorry. I'll try to make it tomorrow, but no guarantees ever since I got interested in speedrunning Wind Waker.
NaomiMinette
I want to replay Wind Waker (even despite me 100%'ing the game like 3 times already), but my GBA SP's being stubborn, and I can't really rely on my GBA since lolnobacklight.

Right, uhh... We didn't have one today (yesterday?) btw.
pieguyn
I probably can't be there tomorrow
maybe I'll just be late, I don't know yet ><

Tingle tuner isn't required though.

I won't be around tonight, so don't wait for me and wonder where I'm at. Spent the whole day at MtG prerelease events and I'm tired as shit.
NaomiMinette
Doesn't bother me if we don't have one this weekend (at all). Still, if anyone shows up, I'll play.
mm201
I checked my friends list a few times last night and no one was on, so I guess not.
I should be there tonight, provided there is a game.

Nope! It was just an innocent stalking that somehow turned into 4 MTO players joining us with absolutely nothing done on my part.

There were 8 people as it was, so... >.>
NaomiMinette
I'm just asking because it'd be so much easier to track them if they were a part of osu!'s community, but I guess if they just randomly drop in, that's fine.
mm201
I gave them the community code so they can stalk us better.
NaomiMinette
Heh... Does that mean we'll be having a constant full room?
rust45
I won't make either Kartparties this week as I'm going out to the track. I probably won't make next week's either.
NaomiMinette
I've recently (if 1-2 months count as recent) been addicted to Super Mario 64 ROM hacks, and I'm currently trying to 100% playing a third one, so I may or may not forget today's kartparty.

UPDATE: I'll be eating out at McDonald's later, so if a kartparty is sill going on by then, I'll (re)join it; however, I won't be able to chat with you all.
CNM501
I'm back~ and ready to Kartparty! Though I may be late and probably not going to Kartparty for long. Still pretty tired. Basically just arrived back in Aus as I write this. XD

Yay!

Also, today Blaze has shown why you should never play MK7 on McDonald's WiFi.
Soaprman
Did he get big mac special sauce all over his 3DS again? Blaze, you ninny, don't make such a mess when you eat. Geez.
NaomiMinette
My local McD's wi-fi is horrislow, but I know of other McD's that have faster net. Oh well. Anyway, welcome back, CNM :D And poot you, Soap >_>

UPDATE: There's a chance I won't be able to make tomorrow's kartparty due to my sister visiting and us visiting my hospitalized mom. Even if could still somehow play, I probably wouldn't be in the mood for it since my sister's bound to chew me out (family reasons).

Oh please, it's called "taking a break". :P I did that last Monday when I played MK7 locally with some buds. I kicked ass but that's besides the point.

Also, second session starts at 6:15 now, but please be there at 6 so we actually get started at 6:15.
NaomiMinette
Whoa wait, why'd you move it later?

I'm playing White 2 and I'll be there for sure.

1) It turned out to be just enough time to let me finish Black 2 first.

2) As I said last time, the guy I moved it forward for wasn't showing up so I moved it to a time that was more reasonable for the rest of us.
NaomiMinette
I would've been "done" (entered the Hall of Fame) sooner if my sister wasn't here... I'm also catching every single (currently obtainable) Pokémon along the way (for Critical Captures) as well as getting every single item I can so I won't have to worry about it later. I've just recently gotten my 6th badge, so unless I pull an all-nighter (not happening), I won't be "done" by tomorrow's kartparty. (I also would prefer if I entered the Hall of Fame sometime either tomorrow or Sunday. *personal preference*)

Are you prepping for a big tournament or something? I can think of no other reason to be in a hurry to complete a single-player game.

Also, you say "worry about it later" like it's a chore that you're trying to put behind you. It's not. It's a video game that you play for fun. Relax, maybe try chewing and savoring your food before you swallow it.
NaomiMinette
I wanna get this out of the way ASAP. Is that so hard to understand? ._.
Soaprman
Yes.

Ugh, whatever. Anything you guys say won't make me change my mind. So, again, I won't be kartpartying till probably next weekend.

Awww... As much as I would love to join in on the next Kartparty, making fun of Blaze :P, I unfortunately will once again, have to pass this session and possibly the next session. Important assignments due and an examination week I gotta worry about. Sorry guys D: I will definitely keep Kartpartying as soon as I can.

You all are jerks <3

So who will be there this friday ? I'm just asking cuz last time it was only Ekaru and me. xD

I should be able to make it now. I'm just doing post-story stuff on Pokémon White 2 now, but obviously that can wait.

In other news: Mario Kart 7 is available for download in the e-Shop. GO GET IT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! (Not sure if this is a global thing, though.)

I tried ><
I played mushroom cup 50cc and it was too slow :? so I went straight to 150cc and never looked back. I don't see how people can play on 50cc :cry:
NaomiMinette
I actually enjoyed 50cc since the races actually felt longer, speed aside. (Don't ask me to explain that; it's just an unexplainable feeling of mine.)
Azure_Kite
I liked 50CC because I was almost guaranteed a three star rank

But at least 150cc + mirror is a challenge. Still have to 3*** most mirror courses, but I only have one 150cc course to 3**
NaomiMinette
3*'ing only becomes an issue if you're constantly being raped by items and/or falling off the track. Other than that, just keep drifting, pulling off mini-turbos, and shortcut if you can (don't risk it if you think you won't make it) and you should be fine.

I can get raped by items and still have no real issue 3-starring. >_> The trick is to simply be able to take good lines. Oh, and use a max accel combo.
