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

You know the situation's not that great when there are schools advertising the fact that they have campus-wide WiFi. >_>;

I think this university actually says that too. o_O
Residences are the only places without Wifi though.
...Well, I think a couple residences have it. Not mine 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.

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 ><

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?

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).

Is it just my imagination or did the number of Metal Marios really increase with every race last night ? :P

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.

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? ._.

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.

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.

I did say constantly... lol.

I dunno... I've actually gotten a 2-star rating thanks to item rape even though I still follow good lines.

Wanted that mario kart

You can download it in e-Shop if you put/have any funds on your 3DS (and if you have enough room on your SD card).

Same here. I still need a 3 star rank in some mirror courses, but I just don't have the motivation to try them again :P

Read my response again. I'm sure falling off the course so much as once guarantees you won't get 3 stars.

Yes, party tonight.

And it's true! MK7's 3 star requirements are basically, "Get 1st every race and don't totally suck while doing it."

EDIT: Such a feat would be much harder to pull off on MKWii and MKDS, though, since those games have actual standards. >_>

Nope. Not on MKDS anyway. It's super easy to get 3 stars on MKDS since you can dodge blue shells easily and reliably on 150cc, and there are no gliders.
NaomiMinette
Meh... I haven't even heard of Blue Shell dodging till you guys told me about it, so needless to say, it took me a few tries to 3* everything.
Azure_Kite
Oh hey guys! I'd love to play this weekend, but you know. I kinda don't have my 3DS. Which sucks since I preordered Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, and I can go pick it up now <_<

This party was filled with so much petty revenge lol, and time spent by me at the 2 extreme ends of the scoreboard.

Double post bump
Y'alls need to get on Skype this time, it's so much more fun and convenient actually being able to communicate while racing. I don't know how many things I didn't type out between races because I forgot about them.
NaomiMinette
I'll get on only if there's at least two others that get on it. Otherwise it's just mostly awkward silence if just one person's on.
