PS @lostmario at least I wait until after three GPs before rage quitting. Just had an absolute nightmare in that race, I'd had enough. If I'm not having fun playing, I'm off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats fair, I used to get like that when we did this as the league. Just got so angry and it wasn't fun at times cause I felt I got robbed of a better place. Since we now just do this for fun Im more relaxed and don't care as much if I get booted from first to 4th when I was about to cross the line for the win, 😂 Yes it's annoying as hell, but there's nothing at stake so I just pass it off as "that's Mario Kart". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually doesn't bother me, no league points on the line like you said so no big deal but that race... I was getting hit by everything. When I start getting angry with the game, that's the time to stop. I was having an ok ish night before that with 2nd place in both GPs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, I imagine it also helps now that you have other people there in voice chat to laugh along with, and laugh at when misfortune inevitably falls on them. But I do agree that if a game is making you angry, you need to take a break. So you're both right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I do agree that if a game is making you angry, you need to take a break. So you're both right? I think it really does. I think it helps that it feels more like you are playing with others even more so when you can chat along too. The banter and laughter means that everyone is in on it. Plus I know that I’m not the only one that gets screwed by the game cause within a few minutes we are all laughing at someone else getting suddenly bombed. And yeah I do agree that if a game is making you angry, then best take a break from it. Because it’ll just make you feel worse when more stuff goes wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 23 Thanks for the races. Not for the first week, I held B on the start line of the first race then it took me a few more to remember to swap over to the joystick which I've been trying to get the hang of for a while. Both lapses likely down to F-Zero 99. Not that you'd know it from the standings—pretty much a steady Eddie there. DK Snowboard Cross, the one pick of mine that made it in this week, was by mistake. I meant to go one more to the right and select Yoshi's Island. Wouldn't you know it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, sorry. Connection issues with 3 Switches on one connection. Anyway, I take it no-one here is actually interested in playing Mario Kart 7 next week? Because so far, it only seems to be DCubed and me who are actually up for that? Edited March 1 by Glen-i Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still have my Nintendo 3DS XL, and my original copy of Mario Kart 7... so I could play it, I'd just need to switch the Wi-Fi on to play. How many players would make it worthwhile?

Posted March 7 Well, I guess no-one is interested (or able) in playing Mario Kart 7, so I'm calling that off. Normal Mario Kart 8 shenanigans tonight. That said, @Dcubed's place is currently without electricity, so we might not be able to join in tonight. So until I say otherwise, @BowserBasher will have to host. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 7 OK, all fixed. I should be good to go then. Don't have time to whip up a theme image though, so that will be next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 7 Some insanely great racing there tonight. Sorry @lostmario, there was no need for me to use that there. The amazing this was that this then happened again on lap 2 and lap 3 exactly the same way. It actually helped me win the race by getting the shortcut on lap three to take the win and the GP.

Posted March 14 We're overdue some battle mode. I trust that we're smart enough to eventually do all 8 courses over the night. See you tonight at 8pm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
