So I was at my brother's playing MK8D with him and his kids, and holy loving poo poo- when did the A.I. get so spitefully aggressive at loving the players?

My last experiences with the franchise was MK, MK64, MK-GBA, and MKDS, and I swear the game never hate hosed me like this game does on the higher difficulties.

This is hilariously toned down from the Wii MK. So never player that one if you don't want to rage. Feels great to me.

Hey, are you listening to a word I'm saying?
Oh boy, my copy of Zelda and my case just came in. If we're still doing case chat, the Butterfox case looks and feels pretty solid and probably doesn't have any surprises to it, but it smells like a new pair of shoes in the least pleasant way possible. I'm going to air this fucker out before I use it for sure.

My Switch still hasn't arrived, but I guess I could.. pass the time tasting the cartridge.. You know, just to see what the fuss is about.

Also, they really need to revamp the eshop. There are some games where if you don't know their name or haven't heard of them, you will never find them. The only categories are recent, and popular. If a game isn't recent and isn't popular, you have to search for it by typing the exact name. We need categories and a complete A-Z list.

Hard reset your Switch

Hold power button down wait for menu to pop up
Select 'Power Options'
Shut down Switch, then boot it back up.

Ta-dah, working online.

I was playing with my brother last night and he had the blue shell target him in multiple races when he was in 7th or lower. What gives? The race was basically over, is it because he was "first" of the people who hadn't finished yet?

The PDP case was horrible garbage that I had to return. Thankfully the store just got a bunch of HORI cases which is exactly what I wanted it. It's a tiny bit more bulky but rugged enough to survive a drop. Plus it looks nice.

Same story here. The PDP backpack is great but the case feels like lovely cardboard, returned it for RDS's heavier duty case with space cut out for the Joy-Con triggers.

Look on the bright side.



The blue shell has always been pretty fair with me especially now that there's a super horn. If you're in front away from the pack you can get pretty drat far ahead otherwise picking up coins and such.

The super horn was pretty useless in vanilla 8 but with double item boxes here, I'm finding it more useful since I have safely get rid of an item while still keeping a shield for red shells and having a higher chance of getting one while in first.

DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


Three of us got together last night to play some local wireless play and discovered the wireless on the Switch is buggy as poo poo. It seems like it doesn't like mesh networks really at all. I have Google wifi and it's been solid as hell for other devices.

However, with three Switches, we kept having issues with the lobby disappearing for one of us or random "Communication Errors" in the middle of races. It basically made local wireless play unusable even though we were all only about 10 feet line-of-sight from an access point. Two people seemed solid enough and would continue to work, but with 3 players one would always drop (didn't matter which.)

What we eventually had to do is Friends Only Online Mulitplayer and that worked for hours on end without problems. So, the three of us had to round trip on the internet in order to play when we were all in the same room.

Also discovered that the Switch doesn't set any kind of hostname when it connects to the network which just seems rinky-dink amateur hour stuff. Maybe, someday, Nintendo will learn how to do this whole networking thing properly.

Once we got it working though, we had a shitton of fun.

I think Directs are ultimately better because you can just focus on what needs to be said, no technical hiccups like you say, no cringe-induced stage announcers doing stupid poo poo, and no nervous as hell devs with their obvious need to tell everyone about his string fetish

I don't know if it was endearing to a lot of people, but he def had 0 stage presence and poo poo like a Direct ultimately serves a game better as you get straight to the point with a little intro (That can be filmed numerous times until it's usable) by the devs, and you just get on with the drat thing.

The Sony, Ubisoft, and Microsoft presentations are always these overblown productions with the cringiest loving over-the-top productions

Just show the drat games people.
