So anyone want to play Mario Kart online, say, Saturday-ish?

Hey Joe. No, I haven't really had time to play, but I think it's the way to go. A little bit this week, and maybe all next week, I'll have some damned free time to study a little XML scripting, and see if I can't figure out how to hammer FG into Serenity or Shadowrun shape.

It's been a little frustrating not being able to even get started trying to tweak it, but we'll make it happen in the next few weeks. We miss gaming with you, dammit.

Tom, I haven't played yet, but I'll give it a try if ND's game. (No pun intended.)

Our wings are not tired

MM, I haven't had a chance to mess with it, but we get a really good discount if we buy all the licenses together so give me a day or so to get my shit together and then we'll work it out.

Tom and Kristin, yes I'm game to play some Mario Kart. I need to update my profile with my Wii Console number. I'm pretty sure my Mario Kart friend ID is in there. Why must Nintendo make it so onerous to connect with other folks online.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

in our weekly game I just got my dwarven ranger to fourth level and my new animal companion is a dire rat. I have a diseased rodent for a pal.

I've been playing a female human sorcerer in my semi-regular D&D game. She's from a far off land, sort of a gypsy princess thing. It's really fun playing her. We just passed the 10th level mark.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I'll second that. I also miss our D&D campaign.

but we get a really good discount if we buy all the licenses together so give me a day or so to get my shit together and then we'll work it out.
Let me know too.
