So Mario Kart Wii comes out on Sunday, and it has online play.
Anyone want to race?
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You wake up. It is dark.

You see a whole new thread. Woo-Hoo!
We'll be getting Mario Kart on Tuesday, same day as GTA4. If I can wrestle the screen away from the GTA party, I'll meet you there.
Also? Most perfect thread name possible.
Also also? I know I promised no new people influx, but the hub has been saying "so when do we find out about the gaming thread?" for days now. I suspect we're going to finally suck him in to the hivemind...

Our wings are not tired
I so totally want to get sucked into Mario Kart and GTA4, but I'm not sure I've got the time right now. So many things to play with!

If it weren't the end of the semester today and payday for both of us tomorrow, I might slightly flip at the thought of OMG BOTH GAMES AT ONCE... but, you know, it is. And it's not like I actually have the time, but I so need the new toys.

I might have to try that. Is this the first online game for Wii?

Smash Bros. also has online play.
If anyone wants to hook up with me, my Wii number is in my profile.

Have you Catan fans played Carcassone or Caylus?
I've played Carcassonne a decent amount. I like it, but I prefer Cities & Knights. I think Caylus was the game that the guy in the Paris game store was trying to sell me. A medieval French city, something like that? In theory I should love it!
I just got Ticket to Ride Europe for Christmas and enjoyed that quite a bit. I think I still might prefer Acquire or Bohanza to all of them, but those are both different sorts of games.

We really need to sort through the game cabinet at some point. It's such a huge mess that I don't even know what's in there, and we have some great games.
