A couple of things: We finally got Mario Kart for the Wii. If any of yinz know a good website with guides or cheats, please post it here or PM me. I seem to do really poorly online, but I think its because I don't know shortcuts or how to drive very well. But that is one fun game. I usually play with my 3 year old who crashes into a wall near the start line and won't take our help to get back on the track...so at least I won't finish last.

Mario Kart with kids is awesome! Family get-togethers always end up with a heated round of Kart. My six year old is the king of finish line victories with a well-timed shell. His uncle (a very competitive guy) is still mad (probably because we always bring it up...) about one unbelievable come-from-behind loss to Ian.

I've only played online a few times but didn't enjoy being schooled repeatedly.

I love that game. My wife and I will play it. It's funny, because when I play against my wife, or my friends, or heck, even the computer, I win most of the time. But when you play online, some of those people are just ridiculous. I usually finish the middle of the pack.

Fun game though. I only know of gamefaqs that can guide you through some of the courses.

Well, and NHL too.

NHL 10 and nothing else

Anyone get marvel ult alliance 2? I was planning on getting it but I got guitar hero 5 earlier in the month, and really feel bad about spending that much $$$ on video games inside a month. Plus, I got city of heroes a few weeks back and that's been taking care of my nerdy superhero gaming fix.

The bread is delicious.

An added bonus about mario kart I learned during the playoffs is that it takes exactly the length of an intermission to play through a whole circut.

LOL! Now I have another 25 tuxedo-wearing pistol-toting Nazis to cap before the actual soldiers mow me down again.

Been playing through Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in the Trilogy, as well as the original FF on emulator... about ready to head into the Mirage Tower now.

So when your character in Mario Kart starts sweating (?) they sometimes get a speed boost. What makes this happen? It seems to be random.

It's been awhile since I played (maybe I'll have to fix that this weekend ) but I'm pretty sure that's when your drafting. If you hold it there long enough, behind the person in front of you, eventually you'll just get a nice little speed burst for a few seconds and pass em up.

NHL 10 until Modern Warfare 2 drops. Oh and WoW

That not sweat, that air flowing by you. If you ride close behind the person behind you, you get the draft and then can blow by them, much like in real like NASCAR.

Playing Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in the Trilogy. As far as I can tell, there are no differences from the original so far (not that I really expected any).

I just completed what I consider to be the coolest section of the entire trilogy... the trip through Xenoresearch. It's like you step into a horror movie for 10-15 minutes. Very creepy and extremely well done.

Nice! Get to trade paint with Donkey Kong et al. I like how they trash talk a little bit when they pass (well at least Yoshi does).

ODST come tommorrow. Firefight mode FTW

[newarenanow]

I'm pretty pumped. I just need to beat the Super Story for Episode VI on Lego Star Wars tonight and I'm 100% done with the game.

Guitar Hero 5 in about 5 hours. Had it sitting in my Jeep all weekend and didn't get to touch it since I hung out at the girlfriend's place on Saturday and Sunday.

Note to self: DO NOT FORGET TO SEND IN RECEIPT FOR FREE GH: Van Halen!

It's been back to Fallout 3 since the DLC came out...finally up to about level 22 (and halfway through that) going safari on Enclave soldiers.

(Believe it or not, Bethesda doesn't pay me I just want to see that DLC will be profitable enough on the PS3 that future games won't be considering Xbox exclusivity....lookin' at you, Rockstar!)

If I get a PS3 this year, I'm getting the GOTY edition with all the content on it.

That would be my recommendation as I haven't yet seen the stand-alone game for $10 (Amazon still lists it for $44.99 even while they have the GOTY available for preorder).

I like ODST better then the other Halos. It comes with all the Halo 3 multiplayer maps on a seperate disc.

Firefight is good but you gotta make sure you have friends to play it, there's no match making for it.
