Just added you though, Pap. Just in case.

Gonna take a 30min break. Hopefully more players will be on by then.

Stratos · « **Reply #11 on:** March 12, 2009, 07:33:32 PM »

One round? Pretty plz?

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

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 12, 2009, 07:48:26 PM »

OK, I plan to stick around. I added everyone.

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.

vudu · « **Reply #13 on:** March 12, 2009, 07:49:16 PM »

Anyone still playing?

Halbred · « **Reply #14 on:** March 12, 2009, 07:52:25 PM »

I probably won't make it right on time. I have to go get a birthday present for my wife and a college-boy fridge from my folks. Shouldn't take too long, though.

I'm just sitting on the Friends menu. I was contemplating going through some single player races because I don't have anything unlocked.

Add me if you want to play.

vudu · « **Reply #20 on:** March 12, 2009, 08:06:20 PM »

pap and I are playing right now. You have to wait until our game is over until you can join the room.

EDIT: Yes, I added you and I saw that you were on. We're playing our last race now.

Mop it up · « **Reply #21 on:** March 12, 2009, 08:14:06 PM »

I'll be starting soon. I have already added every code in the first post and will add the others when I log on.

I hope to see a twelve-player here tonight!

vudu · « **Reply #22 on:** March 12, 2009, 08:14:29 PM »

Race is over. We now got 4 people in here. Anyone else joining?

Mop it up · « **Reply #23 on:** March 12, 2009, 08:20:49 PM »

If you can wait a few minutes I'll be there!

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #34 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:09:52 PM »

I didn't do that well, but I haven't played the game that much.

Mop it up · « **Reply #35 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:11:08 PM »

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.

GK · « **Reply #36 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:13:11 PM »

Just waiting. Hoping to get a good number of us on at once.

Mop it up · « **Reply #39 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:16:01 PM »

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!

I'll be returning in a few minutes.

vudu · « **Reply #40 on:** March 12, 2009, 09:16:40 PM »

Does anyone have a room open or should I start one?

Cool, same here. Though I forgot to hit record on that last one. ^_^;

Let me know when the next room opens up. Gonna check between time trial runs.

Yep still here. Just did a quick(& painful) regional.

Stratos · « **Reply #47 on:** March 12, 2009, 10:17:11 PM »

Don't forget to add me. I still have blanks on three people.

Who's NOA REGGIE?

NOA REGGIE is playing MADWORLD, to rip some MUTHA FUCKING BALLS OFF.

Dasmos · « **Reply #49 on:** March 12, 2009, 10:35:44 PM »

I am using Pro's NOA REGGIE Mii.

Team GP doesn't work that well with only 5 players.

Stratos · « **Reply #50 on:** March 12, 2009, 10:44:01 PM »

Team VS isn't turning out to well for us...

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #51 on:** March 12, 2009, 10:48:10 PM »

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).

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #52 on:** March 12, 2009, 10:53:18 PM »

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.

GK · « **Reply #53 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:07:25 PM »

Taking a break. I'll catch the next match up

Dasmos · « **Reply #54 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:09:20 PM »

I have to go now anyway, I was probably going to play one more round.

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

GK · « **Reply #55 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:12:43 PM »

We had to try to see how much it'd fail.

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

Mop it up · « **Reply #56 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:17:09 PM »

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!

Quote from: TJ Spyke on March 12, 2009, 10:48:10 PM

There is a topic on GameFAQs which explains them:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=942008&topic=43533083

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.

GK · « **Reply #57 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:18:23 PM »

Regional? I'm in!

Just found another VHS to dust off.

Stratos · « **Reply #58 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:18:39 PM »

Other than the Team match failure it was a good time. I wouldn't mind hopping on later but I'm done for the moment.

GK · « **Reply #59 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:49:00 PM »

Ok, I'm Karted out for now. Good gaming everyone.

Mop it up · « **Reply #60 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:53:38 PM »

Thanks for joining GK, it was fun! Though what was with all of the items attacks in those last Regional races? I thought we were friends!

GK · « **Reply #61 on:** March 12, 2009, 11:55:26 PM »

I was only aiming for you once. One time I was trying to pick off the other guy & you drove right into my green shell. Haha.

Alright, since my friend roster is now full I'd like to know who of the people I've added are fairly active players and would like to keep me added.

Dasmos: You're pretty good! But we might face lag issues since you're halfway around the world from me...

GK: We had some good Regional races, I'd like to keep you if you are active.

Pap64: I didn't see you on, so I must have missed you. Are you fairly active?

Stratos: You were renting/borrowing the game, right?

TJ Spyke: Plan to play the game some more?

vudu: I didn't see you either.

UODuck02: You didn't show up at all. If I don't hear from you within a week, I'm deleting your entry.

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.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #65 on:** March 13, 2009, 09:29:34 PM »

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.

GK · « **Reply #67 on:** March 14, 2009, 05:14:11 AM »

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

Mop it up · « **Reply #68 on:** March 14, 2009, 04:06:53 PM »

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.

GK · « **Reply #69 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:06:55 PM »

I'm off work Thursday - Saturday so I'll probably catch you on one of those nights.

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.

GK · « **Reply #72 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.

Stratos · « **Reply #73 on:** March 15, 2009, 06:58:47 PM »

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...

Quote from: Stratos on March 15, 2009, 06:58:47 PM

I know this wasn't directed at me but I'm going to answer anyway! I use a USB capture device called the DVD Xpress DX2 by ADS Tech.

GK · « **Reply #75 on:** March 16, 2009, 12:11:21 AM »

That sucks, Mop. Hope things get better pc-wise for you.

As for my capture device, it's the Diamond VC500 One Touch Video Capture Device. It's also a USB plug in.

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.
