N-E Mario Kart 8 DX Get Together (Fresh Prince Theme Night This Week)

[Glen-i]

So hey, all you regulars. Have any of you noticed that "Clubs" has appeared on the top of the N-Europe site recently?

Well, Ashley and I have been fiddling around with it, and it seems to be a decent way of having a way for the site itself to remind you of when we play Mario Kart.
Yeah, as a notification, like when someone quotes you.

So I've made a club for our usual Thursday sessions. You forgetful types out there can join the club, click the event "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe", and set yourself a reminder for when Mario Kart is a certain amount of day/s away.

Still testing the waters with that feature, but if it works as I expect, I might do similar for Smash and the NSO apps.

EDIT: Also, I sent a whole bunch of you invites anyway, so you're not ignoring me!

To follow up on what Glen said, if there's any questions/comments etc about how the club thing works let me know. We're still getting to grips with how it can operate but hopefully it will make managing things like this a bit easier.

Did you speak with lostmario about resuming Mario Kart hosting duties?

Can't say I did.

Am I missing something?
I could've sworn that I took over for that?

Pity.

What benefits are there for anyone that joins this club?

[Ashley]

Well it's basically what happens now, but you'll get notification about when things take place and can sync it with your personal calendar if you wish. 

Just a more dedicated way to manage it rather than posts in a thread (although you can also have threads within the club and obviously post in here). 

[darksnowman]

Thanks for the info!

Heads up, Glen-i can’t make it tonight, so @BowserBasher will have to host instead.

[BowserBasher]

I may not get home in time tonight. Looking closer to 20:30 for me to get home @S.C.G can you host. 

[Dcubed]

I can host if @BowserBasher or @S.C.G can’t make it in time.  I’m off work tonight, so I’ll be IN!

Just gonna have to tear myself away from these endless failed attempts at Attack Ship Perfect Agent to do so…

[Dcubed]

Thanks to everyone who joined for a fun night 

Got a couple of funny clips that I’ll upload at some point later.

That was a rollercoaster of emotions. 

[BowserBasher]

Thanks @Dcubed didnt get back till 9pm. M25 was pants as usual and even giving myself 2 and a half hours it took me over three hours to get home. 
 

I’ll be back next week. 

[S.C.G]

Thanks for the games.

Here's a link to this week's stream.

Well... half a stream is better than no stream.

Wow I had a bad night. I’ll take that second in the final GP though. 

[martinist]

Came last just about every race. Mostly because of the kart setup. Will probably have to change it, has terrible acceleration so every time i get hit by something it takes an age to get back up to speed.

Heh, that's funny. I literally said to @BowserBasher that your setup is less then stellar last night.

Acceleration is easily the most important stat. Don't let that go below the halfway point.

[BowserBasher]

Yeah it’s fun to try different setups but it does seem that there are ones better suited than others. Remembering worst theme night ever… evil. 

[Glen-i]

Next week is the start of September, which means...

FRESH PRINCE NIGHT!

If you want to go all in on the theme, here are those excellent Miis @RedShell made for you to try and recreate.
Of course, I imagine most of you regulars already have one from a previous year, but if you wanna switch it up, there they are.
