Were you guys talking about pushing earlier?

Never again... (I still finished third, top of my team)

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

That gif never fails to crack me up.

 

[Exentryk]

^ You guys want to play in about 30 mins?

 

[Dereck]

^ You guys want to play in about 30 mins?

Depends on who else is gonna play

 

[Exentryk]

Depends on who else is gonna play

Yeah I know. If we get 1 or 2 more people, it might be okay.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I should be able to turn up in 30 minutes.

 

[Dereck]

I'm ready to play when you guys are

 

[Exentryk]

I should be able to turn up in 30 minutes.

Are you in the frantic lobby yet?

 

[Dereck]

I think I'm out, it's been too long.

 

[Exentryk]

I think I'm out, it's been too long.

Yeah, don't think it's going to work out. Let's try some other time.

I want to see a comparison to Double Dash's punches now.

4 more days
3 if we get it at midnight

I've been wondering about that. If Japan gets it on the 13th, wouldn't we technically get it on the 12th since the patch most likely needs to be downloaded for online to work? :O

That's.... Interesting.
I didn't think about it :O
Hope you're right. This is one of those cases where the update should be mandatory worldwide thanks to the huge online focus of it.

 

[DaBoss]

It'll actually be released on Thursday during the normal eShop updates and will go be up at 12PM ET. Worldwide.

Japan's getting it on the 13th. I checked.

That would make them get it on the 14th.

Exactly.

 

[PreyingShark]

...Oh. lol

Anyone know when Japan uploads updates?

If my friend gets Mario Kart 8, can we play online together against other random players?

As in, he is playing at his house, and I am playing at mine.

Yes, just add him to your fiend list and then join a random room together. It's actually pretty easy.
That's how we usually play in GAF. Following someone from our friend list.

 

[Exentryk]

Reading that the new DLC vehicles had different stats than what we currently have? Anyone know more?

[Exentryk]

Also, came across this leaked list of tracks that was posted in late Aug. The person did get some of those tracks correct. So, perhaps the 2nd set of tracks is also correct?

stats

I read Master Cycle might also be faster than sport bike?

 

[ffdgh]

Offically, we don't know any other stats outside of those 2, cat peach(same as peach), and Triforce tires.(slims)
Edit: And the hyrule glider being an acceleration glider.

 

[Azure J]

LMAO what a wonderful thing to see at the top of the page. On topic, I can't wait for Thursday. How many of the Day 1 KartGAF members are going to be around for DLC races?

 

[PreyingShark]

Isn't the Hyrule Glider also confirmed to be an accel glider?

 

[Exentryk]

Okay cool, ffdgh. I also wonder if they change any thing else in the game with this DLC update.

LMAO what a wonderful thing to see at the top of the page. On topic, I can't wait for Thursday. How many of the Day 1 KartGAF members are going to be around for DLC races?

I'll be around, but can only play at late night US hours.

That was right after the DLC was officially revealed, right? At that point we already knew about the Excitebike course, the F-Zero course (which anyone who's familiar with F-Zero could've easily guessed was Mute City), and Wario's Gold Mine. And having a Zelda-themed course based on Hyrule Castle wouldn't have been too hard for anyone to guess.

He got the other four courses wrong, and also got cup placements wrong, so I'd say that was probably fake.

Definitely!.....after I beat 150cc and Mirror for both cups.

Isn't the Hyrule Glider also confirmed to be an accel glider?

Whoops. Edited.

Okay. Let's just enjoy the current tracks for now and worry about the 2nd DLC later

 

[PreyingShark]

Almost 50 hours of MK8 so far. I have to say, I like this game a lot, though the awesome track designs have a lot to do with it and it certainly isn't close to perfect.

 

[DaBoss]

Anyone playing now?

-------------------------------
There is going to be a separate OT for the DLC release in the Gaming side right? And not this thread moved to Gaming? I forgot what was said earlier in the thread.

 

[Dereck]

Just pre-ordered

I want to play but not unless more people want to.

 

[Exentryk]

Dragon Driftway looks fun.

Wow, this looks great!

 

[Roo]

Wow, this looks great!

It does. From what I've been able to see, it's my favorite new course so far

 

[Exentryk]

Andy and other babies are going to love this Rainbow Road

[Azuran]

Hey look, it's ffdgh invading my game

 

[ffdgh]

Hey look, it's ffdgh invading my game

Figured I'd have a bit of fun.

http://youtu.be/zq9dfY4-W0s?a

It actually looks wider. Would probably fall a lot more if it was anti-grav

Can't wait to see Wario's Gold Mine!

 

[Roo]

Is LateGAF playing tonight? :3

 

[Azuran]

Is LateGAF playing tonight? :3

I'll probably be on all night or until my Gamepad battery dies.

Edit: One of these days I'll learn not to choke on Piranha Plant Slide

 

[ffdgh]

You just had to choke azure...

 

[Roo]

Sweet, let's see if there are more people playing tonight.

 

[Azuran]

I always choke on that track lol

It's okay, I just made up for it on that last one

 

[Dereck]

I'm down

 

[ffdgh]

It's okay, I just made up for it on that last one

I was combo'D into oblivion X_x

 

[DaBoss]

I swear 3 people used that mushroom (Azuran used it) that was on the conveyer belt.

 

[Burning Justice]

Is LateGAF playing tonight? :3

Depends on how late LateGAF plays. I'm doing something tonight, but that won't be for a few hours, so I can play before then.

 

[Azuran]

I was combo'D into oblivion X_x

Until today, I had almost forgotten how it feels to get stuck in the middle pack in a full room.
