Summer & Mario Kart Wii

Journal Entry: Wed May 7, 2008, 5:30 AM
Another month towards summer, and I'm gearing up for good things! Yesterday was my birthday which was cool, unexpectedly got some lovely messages from friends and the weather was brilliant - couldn't have asked for a better day! It's been burning hot, and considering I was going to hop into the Tunnel to spend a weekend in Paris I have effectively saved myself £144! :thumbsup:

I haven't been terribly productive the last week or so, hit my wall in the art side of things so to speak...nothing I draw is coming out very well, I'm assuming it's due to the want of lounging out in the sun instead. Hopefully things will pick up once I'm over this heatwave!

That said, when I'm sheltering from the sun I've been having loads of fun playing Mario Kart Wii - I know I spoke about it in the last journal but I can't recommend the WiFi multiplayer enough! It's a right laugh bumping people around hahah. The only thing is that in Battle it auto-teams you, so if you have uneven numbers of people in your room it's a little unfair. That's why I want to register some more people who would like to join in!

I'm not really into playing against complete unknowns online, so I usually set up my own room for friends and the like to come play. It's nice to know at least one person you're playing against! I'm trying to gather up as many people who would like to have a game with us, ideally having 12 people would be the best outcome. If you would like to come play, then drop us a comment or a note with your FC - I don't usually have a set day or time to play but I might have a go at setting up a game for Friday. If you're free and would like to come along, then send us your info and I'll try to arrange something. Anyone and everyone is welcome!

If there is enough interest, I might set up a poll about it. If not then oh well, at least I tried hahah. Hope to see you soon!



Vienna & Mario Kart Wii

Journal Entry: Sat Apr 19, 2008, 11:12 AM
Been a bit busy lately, just got back a few days ago from a week over in Europeland with :iconmailtroid: & :iconimiak: and also their friend Yuki. Brilliant fun, celebrated Mailtroid's birthday, played lots of great games and went on various adventures throughout the city of Wien.
Had to travel through Heathrow's new Terminal 5 amidst the horrors of the baggage troubles that had plagued it the previous week - but considering I wasn't travelling too far I wasn't really concerned about my bag getting lost. At first I thought it just looked like every other airport I've been to, but it certainly does have a...er...je nes sai quoi about it. The restaurant I stopped by to waste time at had the best coffee! The day I was travelling was thankfully bright too, so I could take advantage of oogling through the big glass panes that cover the side of T5. Very nice indeed.

As much fun as Wien was, it was nice to touch down on English soil again. Good ol' Blighty...didn't realise how much I missed it until I was gone hahah. I really should organise more outings within the UK, I've been to almost every bloody county in the south I could work as a tourguide.

Yesterday bought myself Mario Kart Wii, having a blast playing it too. The bikes are so fun to ride! Only problem being I'm absolute rubbish at it that I can't get those three-star rankings. Probably take me a long while to update my license hahah. Haven't tried out the online features yet, but really do want to have some matches (and battles!) with people. If anyone else has MKW and you want to have some races then drop us a line. Anyone and everyone is welcome to play - I'll most likely lose anyhow, I've not got the complete hang of it yet. The retro SNES Battle Stage needs to be played badly hahah! :thumbsup:
