Oh, okay! I know some people aren't okay with tricks like that.

I'm not good at fire hopping, anyway. ^^;;

If I ever fire hop, please forgive me. You see, I was stuck on time trials for a long time and now I sometimes fire hop out of habit. It doesn't help that when raving online I end up having to use that to catch up.

Ah, that's why I was trying to learn how to fire hop.

I was trying to get as close to the world records as possible. I got into the top 100 of all of them at one time. I don't know if I still am. But it was neat, hehe.

Time trials are so hard. I watched the replays of the people who were in first place for the World Record and tried to emulate it until I got in the top 100.

What was fire hopping?

It doesn't ring a bell, so I might have been doing it without knowing it.

It's an exploit where you constantly hop after a boost so that it lasts longer. You could call it "Easy Mode Snaking".

Is it weird that I know how to snake, but fire hopping is really hard for me to do? Although it might be because I misunderstood what they mean by "hopping afterward" since I always see people alternate directions after doing the drift boost.

Does anyone else like to color-coordinate their kart/tire setup? Flame Rider + Crimson Slim (red), Duke + Cyber Slick (purple), B Dasher + Retro Off-road (white), Landship + Wood, etc.

Yes. That is how it MUST be. Except instead of Crimson Tires I use Metal Tires on the Flame Rider.

I think it would be better if the Gold parts were called Gilded instead. Like Gilded Tires, Gilded Kart, and Gilded Glider.

I still think Gilded sounds cooler. And is a more fitting name.

Wow.

Did you guys stop playing as soon as I took a break?

Rob is disappoint.sad

Still taking a break mind you; want to do more on Hyrule Warriors, got a digital copy of The Wonderful 101, still want to play Wind Waker HD, and I haven't gotten back to Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate yet.

And those are just my Wii U games. The 3DS is a mess too.

My little brother and I came up with some (gross) theories on all Wario tracks.

No. All Wario tracks are located on Wario himself. Wario's Gold Mine is his nose, Wario Stadium is on his butt, and Mount Wario is on his head. (The snow is actually dandruff. Bleck.)

I kinda stopped playing due to being kinda bored and kind of not wanting to deal with cheap AI or the general bullshit online racing presents. Still waiting on that 2nd DLC coming out in May.

I've been busy playing Smash/Bayonetta/Mass Effect. I'm planning on retaking MK8 when the DLC draws close. Gotta honor my >8000 RP once I jump back online.

I'll be playing a bit more once the second pack is released, too.

I'd watch if it weren't for this stupid update to the iPad making it so it logs out every time I change a tab.

I had to delete Mario Kart's game data (but not the save data) in order to fit Bayonetta on my hard drive.
