Happy Bday! Lol, my bday was just a couple days ago on the 31st. And I actually did the same thing...I got myself Mario Kart 8 to gift myself haha

Nice, well happy belated B-Day! Always gotta treat yourself! ;) How are feeling about your Mario Kart 8 purchase? Got a good couple sessions in over the weekend with some friends and I'm pretty happy with it. Loving some of the new changes like the increase to 12 racers at once now (though things are much more crazy/hectic now!), and the way Lakitu picks you up almost instantly after you fall of the track without any item loss penalty!

Oh, and happy b-day! How much of an old fart are you at this point? I think a few of us are bordering on "what, you still play those things?! how old are you?" :P

Yeah, I found out Shenske had this a while back when we did a trade and I was pretty jealous too! Untill I bought it from him, that is! (well, my girlfriend bought it for me for my B-Day :P)
Well, I wouldn't say I'm an old fart just yet, but I'm getting there. Turned 25 yesterday so I just made the Quarter Century Club! BTW, where the fuck did 24 go? I'm kinda scared with how fast life flies by now! I'll definitely be one of those "what, you still play those things?! how old are you?" guys! I'll be playing these things until my hands seize up ad refuse to work anymore! And since I still prefer my NES, SNES and Genesis over anything else, as long as my thumbs still move, not even that should stop me! ;)

Actually I'm pretty happy with my purchase, the game looks great, playing on the game pad is very convenient when I just want to hop on for a race or 2 while still watching TV and the changes and additions are pretty good. I do have to get used to only having 1 item though lol I hate feeling vulnerable if I have to use an item between item box points lol
Multilayer is crazy hectic too and also a bit cheap but I still have fun

Yeah, I definitely agree with you there. More racers = more chaos!
Those of us that have this should get our friend codes together. I'd be up for some multiplayer with some fellow TCP'ers!
