Sorry I can't make it this month guys. Harass some other staffers and try and get them to play in my stead. :)

When are other people planning to hop on? Do we only have 7 people or do more tend to show up last minute?

BTW guys, if you got the game last year and registered me, I have a brand new code, that's the one I posted here. Make sure to register me again just in case.

Sorry about using the Mach Bike, I didn't expect you all to be using karts because, well, in every friend match I've ever played everyone is lame and uses the Bullet/Mach/Bowser Bike!
I'll probably be on all night, playing Regional with the Standard Kart if there aren't any rooms going on.
You did alright TJ for being out of practice.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I am recording every race, so if I'm racing with you, try not to do anything incredibly stupid as it could end up on YouTube for all of the world to see! :o
I'll be returning in a few minutes.

I made a couple of idiotic decisions in the battles (like when I used a mushroom and ran right into someone who used a mega mushroom.
I had fun in the matches even though I lost. Gives me more reason to continue practicing (and trying to unlock stuff).
Not online related, but is there a guide that explains how you get a star rating in single player grand prix? I am trying to get 1 stars on all cups but am having trouble on some (even when I get a perfect 60 points I will sometimes only get an A rating or even a B rating).

Sorry guys, but I fell asleep while playing the game. When I checked again, no one was online.
I will check again later to see if anyone is online.

Good matches everyone, except the Team GP. That was never going to work.

Hmm VHS ran out in the last moments of Ghost Vally. Guess I shouldn't have recorded on SP after all...Opps.

Nice races, guys! But I wouldn't recommend any sort of team race/battle when there is an uneven number of players. The random matchmaking didn't make matters better either... Usually players with the lowest rating are paired with players with the highest rating, so I don't know what happened there!
If there's any staggering players left playing, does anyone want to play Regional VS? Play nice now! :-*
Basically you not only need to place first, but also have a huge lead, be in first most of the race, never drive off-road, and never fall off the track.

I added you, but I was only about to play from about 7 to 8 Central time. I participate in every WiFi night, but chances are I won't play much online outside of that. If you plan to participate in future WiFi nights, you might want to keep me on. But if you're full feel free to yank me and just add me again next Wifi night.

Stratos: You were renting/borrowing the game, right?
Yeah, I used my little sisters copy. But it was a clean save on my Wii because I do plan to acquire the game soon. A friend is planing to sell all his Wii stuff and I called first dibs on everything including a copy of MK. So my FC will stay the same.

Sure thing, Mop. Just let me know the next time you're up for some racing.

vudu: I'll consider it. I have a few other inactives who I could probably delete without consequence.
Stratos: If you'll be acquiring the game soon then I suppose I could keep you around.
Pap64 and GK: I play the game quite a bit, at least one day out of the week (usually more), so you could probably find me on if you check at the right time. 9PM EST is when I generally start, and sometimes go as late as 2AM. If you'd rather set aside a specific time to play someday, then feel free to PM me.

Dasmos: You're pretty good! But we might face lag issues since you're halfway around the world from me...
And out of practice. I used to play at least a couple of times a week with Mario, Bill, RAB etc. But I don't know if they still play often. I also used to play worldwide and regional a lot too, but stopped because every match I was in had people using retard glitches to crash the match and get points.

I like the videos you posted. It's nice too look back and see how it went from other peoples views. Thanks for putting effort into them.
Do you do much video editing? Would be interesting to compose a montage of the best moments of a Wi-Fi night. You might be able to have NWR post it on the main page too.
Title: Re: Official NWR WiFi Night - Thursday, March 12 - Mario Kart Wii - Chat Thread
Post by: GK on March 15, 2009, 11:08:56 AM
Nah, I never tried editing. Good idea though, would give me a reason to toy around with Window's Movie Maker.
I'm still uploading but it's taking a while due to the little file space I have left(upload 4 races, put 'em online, delete originals, repeat) & my capturing device visually sucks when you record something in a format other than avi. I plan on getting an external hard drive later this week to make some room though.

I've played around with Windows Movie Maker a little bit. I've been curious about making game videos. What sort of capture equipment do you use?

So does this mean you're not an active player and I can delete you if I need a new slot? If that was you when you're out of practice then something tells me you're too good for me anyway...

It's interesting that you mention this, because that's what I had planned to do. However, I think my computer is dying... It is running pretty slowly, and it really struggles when I use my video editing software. I still tried to create the video anyway, but the clips are all cut short and either run choppily or are sped up.
Sorry guys, but no videos for this month! :( Maybe I can have things sorted out by next time...

Not at all, I'd be up for playing whenever. I just haven't been seeking matches as actively as I did a couple of months ago.
