        Getting through 150cc is not easy, sadly.

          Oh, yes, then, I've been working on ***ing 50cc because I'm a completionist nerd. Like eight times now someone's fucked me on the last third of the Rainbow Roads. >:(

            Don't unlocking cups 100cc also unlock everything in 50cc?

                They do! Steve gave us that heads up in one of our MK8 features.

                  Well, I probably can't *** on 100cc, anyway! So there! I suck!

                    I thought you meant by completionist you already unlocked everything in 100cc and wanted to do the same in 50cc. 50cc is for babbies.

      The twitch page is showing that the game is Plants vs Zombies. Also I'm hyped about the puppy we're getting.

      I asked in the stream, but kept having to hop up for work stuff and may have missed it. Are there any plans to do any live streams from E3 or is it all going to be recorded stuff?

        E3 live streams would be pretty awesome.

        I like this idea. I think the only roadblock we will run into is the internet situation, but I think it could still happen.

          Seems like a good way for the Shack to potentially get some more exposure. In the very least an end of the day recap and discussion would be pretty cool.

        That was indeed enlightening. Sad.

        Yeah, that's the one big WTF in this game. How can Nintendo have nailed everything else in this game but missed this?

        They seem pretty fun with a full 12 people, but it's too sparse with just 4.

        That's disappointing. It was sooo good in the SNES and N64 versions.
