N-E Mario Kart 8 DX Get Together (Theme Night this week)

[Glen-i]

OK, here we go!

I like it when my themes are easy to think up!

So, seeing as we've been playing Mario Kart 8 for 10 years, let's take it back to the tracks that were introduced in the base WiiU version.

If we have time to do a fourth GP, I'd like us to do Special Cup as well. Might as well go the full hog, you know?

[S.C.G]

Thanks for the games.

(A bit earlier this week, only two races at the start missed this time)

Fun races, lots of close ones and a few runaways.

Apologies for choosing the wrong course at the start.

I wasn't aware it was a theme night.

It's no biggie, it was a bit last minute once Dcubed mentioned it was the 10th anniversary.

[Glen-i]

Player's Choice tonight at 8pm.

[darksnowman]

Thanks for the races.

Everyone else after GP1 to Glen-i:

Ego: No.

[BowserBasher]

Wow Great turnout. Not seen that many since the final wave night. Made for some manic racing there too.

 

 

[Glen-i]

Kinda hard to pick out manic moments when everything in 10 player races is manic.

Anyway, I don't know what started this resurgence in players here, but I'm all for it!

[Helmsly]

Yeah nice turn out tonight

Here, let me fix that for you. (And not in a sarcastic way, like most of the time that's said)

Yeah, the name change of twitter's web address is messing up embeds. If you replace x with twitter, then cut and paste that, it should work.

The way I’ve been doing it is to click the three dots (…) at the top right of the tweet, select embed post, then copy the top link. That’s still set as a Twitter link. 

[Helmsly]

Thanks guys. Annoyingly this will be the last time we'll be able to upload our NEMK Get Together clips via twitter as Nintendo are removing support from the 11th.

Wonder if that's why it's the only thing here that got through the filter I'm using.

A short-lived victory.

Yeah, you'll have to use a middle man. @Cube provided a link to an excellent app for Android phones. Choose stuff on the Switch, select "Send to Device", scan the QR code, and it immediately saves them to a dedicated folder. Relatively painless.

Player's Choice tonight at 8pm.

Seems it’s just not happening for me tonight, keep getting dc’d.

I also got DC'd just now,

[Glen-i]

Pity about the connection problems, it was all fine on my end.

 

[Josh64]

Was fun, though I did terribly today lol, and got disconnected near the end, on my favourite level too, Yoshi's Circuit! 

Glen-i, my mii used to sound like that! For some reason mine has a different voice now  

I updated my Mii not long ago, so maybe that also changed my voice somehow?! 

 

[S.C.G]

Thanks for the games.

(In two parts or whatever reason, seond part is here)

Did you change the favourite colour? I believe it's that colour that determines the voice used.

[BowserBasher]

Well that was fun and insane at times.

 

Man having to typing those hashtags out now is not gonna get annoying at all

Thanks! I did! Back to red it is! Sounds so weird otherwise!
