Hey guys, I'm sorry to say this is gonna be the last weekend I run the tournament. Unfortunately since there is not nearly enough people who play the game now in our weekly tournament, it's actually starting to lose the glow for me. I'll set the tournament for tonight, but I'll be refraining from playing as I'm just too invested in wanted to fully complete MGS V before Halo 5 comes out.
I'll do one last update to the score board tonight after 7:30pm. It was a fun year and (almost) a half, everyone.
Your sig was too large. Maximum sig size is 500x80. - Jacobkosh.
Well, it's looking like nobody else is going to show up, so Kupi wins by default!
Thanks for keeping the tourney running as long as you did, Raziel. You're right, we'd probably need a pretty hefty recruitment drive out in the WiiU general thread to get the place hopping again.
My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.
Yeah, I had friends in the area, so I was out the entire day to go up and visit them. I agree, though - might be a good time to put the weekly tournament on hiatus for the time being. We can only hope some new content comes soon to give us the drive to race some more! If nothing else, it seems like a few people are still racing on Wednesday nights? (Though it is unfortunately a day and time I am unable to play.)
Yeah, Wednesday nights are still sort of going. Instead of the regular tournament we just jump in the public room. Its mostly just been @Dirk2112, @CGH and myself. I'd be open to moving to a different night but 10 PM ET is about the earliest I know I'll have the tv to myself.
Since we've switched I've actually found myself wanting to play more Mario Kart, even if it is so I can improve my rank so I can catch up to Corey.
Still think the original MarioKart on SNES was the best :P Ghost track and Bowser's Castle were sweet.

I still play this game a bunch online with my buddy but sadly I almost never got it to line up with you guys (I keep my wii u at his place because I'm there so much)
sad to see the tourneys go but it always made me happy how long you all kept it going.
I was soooo tempted to quit while I was ahead after my first race. I don't think I have ever gone from the back to first against murderers row.
Usually I slug it out with cravipat, but I set Corey on fire quite a few times and he lit me up with shells more times than I can count. Also, how do you take the last turn on the Animal Crossing level? I didn’t get hit with anything and Corey passed me easily without slipstreaming.
...you got me with a few pretty good green shell throws as well.
I've tried to start throwing them at an angle so I can get through your banana/shell shield. I even tried it with a red shell but it must have thought I was too close to you since it went after the person ahead of you.
I turned my system off for the night but I'll see if the replay is any good tomorrow. It had to have been the closest finish yet.
I'm also sorry about that tree level. I didn't realize the rest of the pack was so close that they'd also hit you with stuff. At least you weren't completely last.
I was just hoping to avoid being fireballed at the end when all of a sudden cravipat slams into me out of nowhere at the finish line. Surprised the hell out me. Even more so than earlier in the night when I had a racer, with a green shell trailing behind him, teleport in front of me. That didn't go as well. Anyway, I think closer finishes have been shown in this thread before, but this may have been the closest I've been apart of.

It happens. While the items were against me at times, and I finished near the bottom a lot more than I'm used to because of it, I also squandered 3 or 4 chances to win when I was the benefit of good fortune. So many butchered mushroom boosts.
Apologies in advance if I miss tonight's races. I finally got Super Mario Maker and that's been eating up my nights. I start playing for what seems like only a little and suddenly the gamepad's battery light is blinking.

Time flies in Mario Maker. You can burn 3 hours before you know it. You should try the SMMC challenge in the Mario Maker thread.
That was a fun night of suffering. I was just about to leave that horrible group when @CGH showed up. Then I was going to cut my losses and leave early when @Dirk2112 showed up. I was guilted into torture. :biggrin:
I was just happy to place ahead of the 99999 guy once. I think the highest I placed was 3rd. Also the game seemed buggy last night. I would get hit but no see any weapons shot at me. In one case I was behind Corey on moo moo meadows and I hit him with 3 boomerangs and he never even slowed down.
In my second or third race of the night I managed to come in first against that 99999 guy which is why I stayed in that group but I kept losing points after that. At some point I had less point than when I started.
It was pretty laggy for me as well. There was one person that kept warping around the track. They'd be next to me and then jumping around in front of me. It would make them hard to hit if I got anything other than mushrooms, coins and bananas versus the stars and bullet bills of the people right behind me.
Seems highly plausible. I'd imagine the Mario Kart 7 tracks aren't a huge undertaking to port, and Kalamari Desert was among them. I for one am hopeful! Might have to resurrect the PA tourney for a few rounds if this comes true. I suppose at E3 we will find out.
Nah. They make tweets like this all the time about various games and it never means anything.
Making new DLC for a 2 year old game doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Well that's kindof a skeevy thing to do. With the Mario Kart 8 hashtag and everything.

Yeah I really don't know what to think about that. Part of me says I can see it being true if only because Nintendo needs SOMETHING to fill the time before NX launches... But I can also just see it being intended as just a joke tweet...
My kids have been enamored with MK8 recently. They ask to play daily. My older son is getting pretty decent (at 50cc), but my younger son (age 5) is still coming in 12th every race.

My own interest has started to wane too. But, I could forsee a renewal if we get some more awesome DLC. So, hopefully!

You gained a little ground tonight. And in addition to the boomeranging above, you got me with a few pretty good green shell throws as well.

You also had a good night. There were a lot of races when I had the lowest place out of the three of us.

Because we were on the Winter version I used the brake a little to avoid skidding way outside.
My decision making was also very poor tonight.
You almost gave me a heart attack at the end of that last race, cravipat.

Oh, I didn't notice the #MK8 hashtag. Hmm, that's definitely odd, but I still don't think we're getting new DLC at this point.
