the 1976 Bucs of gaming. No amount of practice going to make him stop being a Ryan Leaf of gaming

He's a little bit better than me at this point, but Ive only played for a day of course.

In all seriousness you are remarkably good with that stupid wheel. I got one for free with the game and haven't even taken it out of the box. You need one of these bad boys:

Cant seem to find these damned things.

Resigned from what might be the best job I will ever have.

Transitioning from a tech level job to a manager role. Had already been sitting on MBA for two years without moving up. Felt any more time and the degree and the time/money I spent on it would have been wasted.

Still I have the best current set up and am leaving it in hopes of a better overall career. Super nervous, doubting myself, but I guess to support the growing family it was the right move.

Growing up sucks.
best of luck moving forward!

Heh thanks. Yea I can't really complain, I'm probably just as good with the wheel. Except for when I drift the wrong way around corners which seems to happen every other game. I did that on the last lap in 2nd place and ended up in 7th ;_;

Ive used many different drivers, different karts/wheels/etc....

I just cant find any that seem to go fast enough. Why is there no damn description of what each part/chassis does in the game? Stupid

I have to admit, like with Mech, sometimes it's more fun to make you miserable than winning the race.

You're looking at the stats right?
 
Playing MK online I have found that the best players generally use the heaviest characters with karts geared purely for speed. If you get someone who knows what they're doing with that kind of setup it can be just about impossible to catch them once they get in 1st. I usually roll with Shy Guy but he is light so his top speed isn't great, plus I prefer bikes which also keeps my top speed down some. It's not ideal but I just enjoy playing more with that setup.

Yea you were beating up on us with one of the lowest speed setups possible lol

I go for speed and weight just for getting in first place and not letting anyone catch up without shells

Found a list online with the fastest times on each course and what set up wad used. On most of those (75% or so) it was Wario on superbike with racing slicks.

That's how I do it too Cajun. It's Mario Kart. I play cause the graphics are bright and cheery and it makes me happy. Same with NSMBU. People complain about it constantly, but I just like the sound the coins make and "it's Mario time!"

I just know someone is going to try to do this at some point:

Those are time trials though, aren't they? A lot of them involve stuff like perfect drifting right on the edges of the track. Do that in an online race on something like Rainbow Road and you're asking for getting pushed off unless you play with no items.

Im too casual for this shit lol

To be fair, you just started playing. Some of us have been Mario Karting for over 20 years, so there's going to be quite a bit of experience gap.

Unless you're snes apparently.

You can approach it casually or hardcore gamer perspective. I like that.

Wow having to work more than a half day for your millions must have been a nightmare. What a trooper for making it through. Such a hero and inspiration.

Also isn't the "burnout level" for quarterbacks um...0%? When was the last time a guy capable of being a starting quarterback in the NFL walked away from the game?
