Mario Kart Wii -- 11 March 2010, Worldwide Wi-Fi #02

So finally I'm getting around to what I started days ago...and I guess I really didn't show a lot of foresight when I didn't consider the possibility of being completely hung out to dry without any Internet connectivity with which to follow through on my threats to keep you (whoever you are and however you got to this video page) entertained in my weeklong absence.

As I mentioned before, this is just me stretching my legs and putting the foot back on the pedal for a nice change of pace...and it's truly unfortunate that the rest of the races from the night's session proved to be unusable...particularly because all the people I ran into in the segments that actually were usable liked to pick N64 Mario Raceway and Rainbow Road the whole time...

So I pulled out the inner darkness and dusted off the Jetsetter, because it's one of those vehicles that I've really got to scrape the rust off of if I'm to avoid completely embarrassing myself in. It's also pretty much the complete opposite from the Cheep Charger that I was using in the previous video.

I'll point out that the first thing that I really wasn't doing too well with it was "dodging" incoming threats by either boosting straight into them or jumping towards the fringe of the track and losing a lot of speed.

Oh, and the first race is a definite testimonial as to why I tend to use things up too quickly and squander them instead of holding on to them for just the right moment...because you never know when something's going to happen to completely deprive you of its use.

Hopefully you don't mind the déjà vu and all, but I'm sure it either proves that I'm beyond all help or that I'm somehow steadily getting back into my groove...or rut, whichever one, I'm just glad to be back in it.
