Is it really over already?
Nya, I wasn't able to reach the 1st place one single time.
At least I reached the 2nd place many times. xD

Sup guys. Another pokémon player reporting in for kart duty tomorrow. 
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.
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.Blazevoir wrote:
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*)

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.

, 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.)

...Oops. I knew I was forgetting to do something yesterday.
There were only three people (including me) yesterday, but two of us weren't really in the mood to play, so we didn't have one.
I was feeling too sick last night to play. At least we had a good run in the alternate friday timeslot.

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 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.)
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**

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.Blazevoir wrote:

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

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

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.Ekaru wrote:

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.
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 <_<

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.

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.

I made the sc once by fluke. I was using the custom in the video--clown car, slick, super. I don't know if there's something special about its hitbox that allows it to work.
But at least I've gone through the paces of learning the RIW shortcut and cut about 10 seconds off my old time. (now 2:05:564)

But yeah, you need an extremely small kart for it to work. Anything bigger won't be able to fit. Not that many players with the skill level required to pull it off consistently use karts that small nowadays, and they aren't going to switch just for one course, so you won't see it very often. It should still be patched, but it's not going to ruin online or anything.
Do you have skype group for parties?
We want to get others to join us so we can rage at talk with each other while we play instead of having to type out the stuff.

I can make the Daisy Cruiser shortcut reliably!
(with Clown Car. No such luck with Train or Egg1.)
Now I decide whether I should change my main just to troll on one track.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leXiwtX1NB4 - This is what explained it better. You need to slowly move forwards and hit the second brick of the orange/white rail. If done right, your kart will be 3/4 of the way inside the brick and you will fall down. At 0:03 you can see shyguy embedded in the white brick. This is what you're aiming for. Don't fall at full speed.

Clown+roller also feels a lot more feeble than my regular, so I won't main it.

After messing around with a voice changing program as well as Skype settings, I'm pretty sure I can make myself sound different now. Granted, it's not an "official" voice that I'll be sticking with, but expect the next Skype call to be awkward
The program has issues with loud noises, so if I laugh or yell/rage... well... At any rate, I'll probably have it set up to where I have to press a button to talk just in case.

So like, Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed has this Swarm item. What it does is put a giant swam of wasps in front of 1st place. If 1st place is skilled then they can maneuver through the wasps but it's not easy. Furthermore, the wasps last for a certain amount of time so the racers close to 1st will also have to deal with the wasps.
...I wish this game had a similar item; it's actually a fucking brilliant item because it's fair, promotes skillful driving, and can still screw over 1st by timing the usage of it to be when it's hard to avoid.
Oh, and I want that game now. I'll probably be getting it for the PS3 whenever I get the $$. Supposedly it's the best Mario Kart alternative in over a decade.

I actually enjoyed the first S&SASR, so I was thinking about getting this one, too. Still, I probably won't get it right away.
I have the iOS S&SASR and I find the driving mechanics suck very much. The only good thing about it is how easy it is to snake (If not for the gyro controls anyway >____<)
Crash Team Racing was pretty good.

I played the Wii version with a Classic Controller, so driving/snaking/drifting wasn't an issue for me.
I absolutely loved CTR when I first got it. 110(?)% save file ftw~ (Man, those practically endless turbo boots <3)

Also, according to the reviews I've been reading they redid the physics and items. That seems to be part of the reason why the game's getting mainly positive reviews. There's a very good chance I'll pick it up tomorrow for the long weekend since I've always wanted to play as Tails in a racing game that wasn't garbage.
Let us know how it is. I most likely won't be getting it right away

Er, I mean, I got Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed for the PS3 (no point in waiting for the 3DS version, really; I already have MK7 for on-the-go fun, so why not go for 42" HD fun?). I'll tell you how it is when I get home and can actually, you know, play it.
Time to go finish cramming for my Calc II test that is in like half an hour.

This is probably a massive "if": IF I were to get a Wii U, I'd probably get S&ASRT as my first game (since the NSMB games tend to be short and don't really have much replayability, especially if there's no one else around who'd play with you). Career Mode sounds interesting as well.

Well, you gotta wait for the Wii U version to get a patch anyways, unless you are willingly to not connect your console online until after you beat World Tour since an online update causes glitches.

Zombi U looks quite interesting in my eyes. Well, and in addition my grandma promised to immolate some money, too.
So I think it's decided then. I'll get the Wii U this Christmas.
