moift, mcd, do you guys post hilarious fake info on meetup threads, too? ("Let's meet at 'Bill's Bar' in downtown Buttopolis! *snicker*") Or is it okay, because it's a video game?
posted by Plutor at 10:57 AM on November 26, 2005

Yes to both.

It could've been worse, adamkempa - you could've asked about the Nokia N-Gage or the 360 Core...

I've added you, Adam: see you on the track! Look out for the Numel icon. You other guys, if you're going to take the piss, you're supposed to be funny.

Don't sweat it, Adam. As I said the minute I get the game I'll look you up.

There was an Xbox live thread a while ago, too, though that didn't get as much nay-saying. Presumably because Xbox games are somehow more grown up... pffft.

I, for one, wasn't naysaying. (Did you think I was going to welcome some new overlords for a second there? PSYCHE) I think the DS is the best new system and this game is probably a lot of fun, I'm just a little sore that I'll have to wait until at least xmas for it. Xboxen and mmorpgs are stupid, this is the best game thread yet.

I understand Mario Kart doesn't have any kind of chat, though, so I'm not sure adding mefites is even really worth it unless we go whole hog and have a tournament for fantastic prizes. I think dreamghost still has some fantastic prizes left over from a previous online contest he defaulted out on.

Yeah i dont know where you get your info? Bub.

But both me & moift have Nintendo DS. I even have mario kart. If my brother was not borrowing it i would be sending a barrage of koopa shells at you knuckleheads rightnow.

I also have tony hawk if anyone wants to play that.

I'm not a naysayer either, I'm just a dick.

And ladies, it is a dick worth mentioning.

I can't find the port to plug my super nintendo into the network :(

I cried when I found out that Kart GC wouldn't be on a network.

There's always Gamecube Online from WarpPipe. I haven't tried it in a long time, though.

Not had much luck with the matchmaking service, so far it has failed to find any games. Kind of irritating that they've not put the UK wifi site up yet either.

This is true -- there is no chat, but:

This is also true. Supposedly, this problem is alleviated by adding a bunch of people directly.
