Mario Kart progress

I've been systematically trying to beat one "engine class" at a time by getting gold trophies in each circuit. Today I beat the last of of the 100cc circuits, Special Cup, with an epic performance on Rainbow Road. So my license has little gold marks all the way across now on 50cc and 100cc.

Yeah, and that means I unlocked the Mii as a driving character. And he has a special little red jumpsuit. He says really stupid things, so I think I'm gonna stick to driving Wario. "So long losers!"

It's amazing how much fun Diana and I have been having. I was starting to worry that I wasted my money buying the Wii, seeing as how I've only bought Wario Ware and Paper Mario (the latter of which is tedious and boring). I am going to try and play through Super Mario Sunshine though if I get more inspired.

Still need to beat Half-Life 2 Episode 2 in the Orange Box for Xbox 360, as well as Tomb Raider Anniversary. I'm sure I'll revisit them eventually.

Yeah, the suit color changes based on the color you chose for your Mii. Mine is orange. I'm in the 150cc races, but it's really tough. Maybe I'm just not as good at the game.

I struck out at three stores on Friday looking for this game. I should have picked it up at Best Buy when I was there on Wednesday. I did get a chance to play it on the display there, and it was a lot of fun. I'm going to give it another week of looking, and then I am just going to order it off of amazon.

You should still buy Galaxy after you beat Sunshine.

Did all the classes and mirror tracks to gold cups - now working on star ratings and time trials to unlock the rest of the game.

That's insane... you play WAY too much! I'll probably go as far as the mirror tracks and whatever is left to unlock might just stay locked!

By the way, if you have Amazon Prime, video game shit seems to arrive next day to Cleveland, at least most of the time.

Nah, just good. ;)

Ironically, I was just thinking about how much I've slacked with Mario Kart lately.

All this MK talk really makes me want to get it... partly just to beat Gonch.
