Real life Mario Kart

Awesome real life Mario Kart by urban prankster Remi Gaillard. (via waxy)

Drunken Mario Kart

Is Mario Kart any easier while drunk? Actually yes, although they only went to .08 BAC...I'd like to see the results at .20.

Mario Kart Wii out soon

Mario Kart Wii will be out in the US on April 27!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why so many exclamation points? Feast thine eyes on this:

This game has been announced as supporting the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. This will feature online racing and battle modes, both of which are capable of up to 12 simultaneous players. It has also been confirmed that there will be online leagues, with international and local rankings. This will take place from within an entirely separate Wii Channel. This channel will also feature the option of sending saved time-trial ghost data.

IGN has several videos for your online viewing pleasure.

New trailer for Speed Racer...watch it

New trailer for Speed Racer...watch it in full HD glory if your internet connection can take it. The courses remind me even more of Mario Kart than in the first trailer.

Now that the trippy stills have whetted

Now that the trippy stills have whetted your appetite, feast your eyes on the trailer for Speed Racer, in freaking HD no less. The race courses remind me of those in Mario Kart: Double Dash, particularly Rainbow Road, Dry Dry Desert, and especially Wario Colosseum. (thx, askedrelic)

Best animated gif ever

The best animated gif ever created, I reckon. A tour de force. (thx, alaina)

An imperfect metaphor many of you probably won't get

Driving on the Interstate through the metropolitan tri-state area during a 1.5 hour downpour is like playing 700 continuous laps of Baby Park against 7 other players. I'm beat. (ps. It's a simile anyway.)
