oh btw, anyone know any good UK based places for Henkei Classics? I wouldnt mind getting Roddy, BB and Megs to fill out my Classics 1.0 collection (dont want CJ, not keen on repaints)

That Kinda depends where in the UK. I'm expecting Orbital Manga in London to get them in as they seem to seel every Revoltech and Encore along with WST Dinobots.

So it seem's almost everyone's been playing Mariokart on the Wii.... I am quite jealous as mine is still in it's box taunting me with it's unplayedness as I couldn't get near the front room tonight. :-x

When you do get at it Spense, you'll have to join our little club!
Three disgruntled Brits pioneering Mario kart for seibertron

My (and Tek's) codes are on the previous page. Or, if they get lost in time, they are readily available in the official Mario Kart club over in the video games forum. I will regularly add new players to the first post as they join the fun.

You should move the wii upstairs. I did that, and I get about 10 times more access to it.

Ahhh when.... I have a wedding tomorrow which I tried to get out of to watch Doctor Who instead. Working Sunday, though hopefully I can get out of the family celebration afterwards (they should get it out of their system while I'm at the wedding) so Sunday that disc is going in.

Wii upstairs? too many TFs in the way. Not sure if that's

Bloody hell... Mario Kart sure does give you an upper body workout. My arms, shoulders, and upper chest are all aching from throwing this steering wheel around.

News Credits: 6 · Sat Apr 12, 2008 5:38 am

Awsome, huh?

I'm gonna do some more GPs this morning, get some more online races done (to beef up my skill score some more), and we'll see about a rematch there Tek.

How's the programmer thing going?

Bah, wish I had time for gaming. I have a dissertation to write :-(

Still, 2,699 words out of 10,000 have been written and I still have three days so it ain't too bad.

I got turned down already. No worries though. I'm playing with my Shinai now.

Got Armada Scavenger today. He is a BRICK. But he will make a good Bonecrusher for my Classics display. Now all I need is a Mixmaster.

I'm up to Gold on the 100cc Star Cup. Going for Special Cup Gold today.

Sat Apr 12, 2008 6:22 am

If I moved my games upstairs, I would never been seen downstairs again. It's a shame the kitchen is so far away from the stairs...

No fun for me today, gotta go attack some work, guitars later. Hehehe, my bro is mangling the Halo theme on Easy, hehehe. Some of the songs are really easy on the later stages, that's silly.

Working on a Saturday? =( I remember doing that.

Maybe your game is backwards.

100cc Special Cup Gold cleared!

Sat Apr 12, 2008 6:47 am

Not job work, the more boring kind.

4 hours a day, that's the plan.

Ah, if it's backwards that would explain why it took me so long to get past the first song

Is Mariokart fun, like, real long term party fun?

News Credits: 2 · Sat Apr 12, 2008 6:52 am

Mario Kart has always had that long term party appeal. I loved the SNES one to death even if I suck hard at racing games.

It does piss me off sometimes though when I get hit by a blue shell, then a red shell, then some idiot comes riding past on a bullet bill knocking me back from 1st to 12th on the last lap...

And when I get the lightning cloud SIX times in a row.

But it's still awesome fun.

Sat Apr 12, 2008 7:03 am

I imagen it is everybit as frustrating as it's predicessors then?

Maybe I should get it, I do enjoy racing gmaes with extra sillyness. Makes for some heated launguage....

If only! I was in the chat room with MB but I could not find the option to say "BASTARD!!!!!!!!!"

Sat Apr 12, 2008 7:32 am

Heh heh, that's right isnt it, it wont actually let you talk?

That's silly! I want to mock, ridicule and throw insults whilst I play! And afterwards, once I get my ass kicked....

What option did you go for?

News Credits: 2 · Sat Apr 12, 2008 7:35 am

The only things close enough to what I wanted to say were "That was unfair!" and "I won't lose next time!"

There is a microphone on the front of the Wiimote... I wonder if there is some sort of chat option.

Sat Apr 12, 2008 7:43 am

How childish.

Is there? I thought that was a speaker... At any rate, in my case it's probally a good thing if there's not a chat option...

News Credits: 2 · Sat Apr 12, 2008 7:49 am

It might be a speaker, I don't know. I've only had the Wii for a day!

Completed 100cc with all Gold!

Sat Apr 12, 2008 7:54 am

A whole day and you dont know what it does yet?!

I'v not even played for 2 hours, I am a bad Wii owner

News Credits: 2 · Sat Apr 12, 2008 7:59 am

Go get Mario Kart and play with us. It'll be lots of fun.

Sat Apr 12, 2008 8:14 am

I think I might. It will be lot's of fun for you, I will be busy trying to find something to blame for how awful I am.

It is still being stupid about going online though, my Xbox can't connect wirelessly either. I need to nag a parent to sort out the crazy security settings here, honestly, it's like Skynet.

News Credits: 2 · Sat Apr 12, 2008 8:17 am

Mine was pretty straight forward, though I was extremely angry to learn the Wii's USB will not recognize my USB to Ethernet adapter. Guess they want me to buy the official Nintendo Product. :roll:

Don't underestimate how bad I am.

Sat Apr 12, 2008 8:32 am

Aww, if I have to buy yet another thing for my TV-fun my lounge will aspolde from cables and adaptors and stupid ugly recharging stations!

Right back at you

Besides I would rather overestimate you and get a nice surprise than underestimate you and get utterly humiliated.

Anyway, I'm rubbish, I make anyone look good.

Yes, it's the speaker, unfortunately nintendo won't be doing online chat for the wii - it's all about makeing online play safe for the kiddies :roll:
