N-Europe Get Together! (25/05/2023)

[viceview51]

I would love to start this post by saying you can count me in for this evening... But, unfortunately, I'm unable to do it for the foreseeable future. 😔

I'm now a 3 month old, and quite happy, dad; at this stage I don't have a fixed schedule at home and the freetime is spent doing house shores.

I've only been able to put an hour or so into the switch in the last few months very late in the evenings where my own batteries are almost done for the day.

I hope that soon enough, when Mario Kart 9 or 10 is out, my baby girl 👶 will be able to join for a few races. 😊

Watch them ditch Smart Steering now...

Congrats, dude. Hope your sleeping isn't too horrendous.

Player's Choice tonight, because I spaced on it being the first week of the month. 8pm.

Theme night next week.

[S.C.G]

Thanks for the games.

Some great track choices this week. (you're welcome)

Also worth mentioning, we had some communication errors near the end of the "first" GP... but we still for three full sets of races in.

(Just skip forward once the stream gets to the 12 minute mark, about five or six minutes to get back to the races)

Right, next week will be a theme night, so I'm getting the graphic out there now.

Theme Night: Thursday 8th June

You know, off roading sucks. We're sticking to tarmac, and with tarmac comes a great opportunity to go really fast.

[BowserBasher]

I thought we were going Mario theme with the courses and then Tokyo snuck in there. Good theme would have been great with a set kart like the some street racer kart.

Anyway fun night of races here are the highlights, and one very lowlight lol

And the lowlight of the night.

 

[Glen-i]

A reminder to you lot that there's a theme night tonight, refer to 2 posts ago to see.

[BowserBasher]

Well that was certainly a turn up for the books. Not in a long time have we had such an abysmal night of positions.

The following is one of my great final laps ever.

And yet again, myself and @Glen-i having a great finish to a race.

 

[S.C.G]

Thanks for the games.

Well that was interesting... the first time in a while that I've changed kart parts, that setup seemed slower initially, even on 200cc, but it soon picked up.

Neo Bowser City was predictably a train-wreck, though speaking of trains, it was cool to see the predictability of the train on Kalimari Desert go off the rails in the extra GP.

The tracks with the most traffic were easily the highlights of the evening, with some very close finishes.

N-Europe Get Together! (08/06/2023)

[Glen-i]

Oh right, almost forgot to post mine.

Slightly better angle of one of @BowserBasher's

 

It's alright though, I beat him in Big Blue purely because of slightly better acceleration, so it balances out.

 

[Glen-i]

Player's Choice tonight at 8pm.

[S.C.G]

Thanks for the games.

Some close races, I was quite pleased with how the Kalimari Desert and Mount Wario races went.

There were some nice throws with the shells, bananas and bombs too.

Some very fun races with some unexpected results tonight.

Sorry @S.C.G

 

None of that was me @lostmario, it all came from those behind me.

Oh right. I see how it is. Shift the blame, eh?

Just a heads up, but there's a possibility that I won't be able to play Mario Kart for the next two weeks, so you might have to host.

Cool, I can do next week, but the week after I’m away on family holiday so will not be available for the 30th June either.

Players Choice tonight at 8pm

(just in case @Glen-i can't make it I'll be hosting)

[Glen-i]

No worries. I'm here. I can host!

[S.C.G]

Thanks for the games.

Nice to see @Ugh first aid joining us this week.

Some good track choices, and fun races all round.

(plus a good few 'everybody saw that!" moments)

N-Europe Get Together! (22/06/2023)

[BowserBasher]

That was the most mediocre week for me in a long time.

 

Would just like to add that I may not be here for next weeks games. Going away on holiday this weekend.

I'll hop in tonight. Haven't taken a look at the new tracks yet.

[Glen-i]

OK, it's just 3 people, I'm gonna cancel it for this week.
