Yes ladies and gentlemen, it's out.
And foregoing my genius of UPDATING THE ROUTER CAUSING IT TO REBOOT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY GAME ( ;_; ), I've played a few rounds online.

I'm kind of mixed on if I should try this immediately or wait. Maybe I'll pick it up this weekend.

How are you getting online with it? I'm not thrilled with the USB adapter being $35 when you can pick up a wireless router from ebay for $10shipped. So even if I get it this weekend it won't be another week before I can get it online(unless I'm lucky and my wireless modem works with it, but so far I've only been able to get my computer working on it, I tried another reciever for the XBox at one point and it didn't recognize it).

I picked up the game today, Gamestop had a used copy already, $27 after the discount so I couldn't turn it down. Lucky me, my crappy Qwest modem works with it as well after a pain in the ass firmware upgrade so I saved some money having to buy extra equipment.

After playing this game a bit, I think this is one of the best Mario Karts out lately. I really didn't like Super Circuit much, it controlled like a turd. Although the online option is decent, I think the lack of voice really takes away from it. I can kill 3 hours or more on Burnout if I find a good room with decent people talking. The quiet just takes away from it. But it's a fun novelty, I don't think I'd consider it anything else. Maybe if you met up with folks you know, but I have a problem doing that on Live, much less this thing.

I'm really starting to warm up to playing Mario Kart online now, it's turning out to be a good time. I don't like how you play in 100cc mode, and the random grouping thing kinda sucks since you can't pick a room or anything. But even with those, it's fun. I wish you could talk to the people you're playing instead, I'm usually sitting at home listening to a podcast or something.

What characters do you use? I started off with Yoshi, then gave Mario a try for a while. I'm currently using Dry Bone(I used to love using Koopa in the original so I figured this was as close to that as I could go). He works out pretty well until the other person is using a fast person(like Wario) and doesn't screw up, then I don't have a chance(at least on places like Choco Mountain where there is no shortcuts or anything I can take advantage of).

It has nothing to do with the game.
It's just a clan.

It is the OLRmy (pronounced: Oh Ell Are Me)

I thought I was gonna unlock ROB this morning, ran through the last 3 cups for the 150 retro. Then BAM! "You have unlocked 150 Mirror". Well, that's good, but now I have 8 more cups before ROB. I really don't plan on using ROB anyway. I've used his vehicles with other characters and wasn't impressed. Maybe if I wanted a drifter, I'd use the Luigi/ROB-car combo. I still like my Dry Bones/Tank-car(although I don't like the way the car looks as much as the original skeleton-mobile, but it's faster).

I pledge allegiance, to OLRmy, of the bemani clan of america (oh ok and other countries too);
And to the internet, on which it stands;
One OLRmy, disabled the flaw;
Incomprehensible, for humility, and funness for all!

DJRanmaS, in order to join you must put your right hand over your heart, your left hand over your nose, while standing on your tippy toes on a balance beam over looking your computer.
Oh and you have to recite the pledge 5 times in various pitches as well.
