good match error2k4
Shinoobi, added you. Spiffy, I'll add you when next I play. Demi, thanks for the sort. By doing that, you may have noticed a duplicate entry (DF Totoro), can you please remove it?
55 people in my friend list, and I'm lucky if I can connect to ONE of them after 5 minutes of searching. And I've got that blue icon notifying me that a Friend is currently online on CONSTANTLY. :lol
Still loving the game.
I think I figured out why I could never get good at the MK games, and why I consequently always avoided playing.
I was in the shitter just now, enjoying another good single player session of Mario Kart Dual Shitting, when I realized the whole drift turn/blue spark/orange spark thing. Ok, so the blue sparks seem worthless. But if I start a drift turn early enough and "charge" the sparks until they turn orange, by the time I'm passing the turn, if I time it and right and let go of R, bam, I shoot off past the turn with a nice mini boost.
Before, I always tried to do the mini boost in the straight-aways... which is of course almost impossible on all but the widest of courses, since you'll instantly start sliding into the first direction you hit... usually into a wall!
Now I'm starting to understand some of the underlying fun and challenge of the game. Really makes it totally necessary to memorize the courses... something I found unnecessary when I tried playing without the mini-boost. Perhaps I'll be able to start improving my record now.
