*C’mon, man; just remember this time. It's the first Kinja MK8OT8TH, and you gotta be there. Don't forget this time...*

This is just freelance shilling. If you find that number, feel free to pass it on, so I can get paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaid for writing columns about how their games are weird and scare me.

The thing is, it’s all so scripted that I can’t imagine ever replaying it again. It never felt like I had a lot of choices, outside of maybe a few stat tweaks.

Whoa, a whole MK8 on the 8th article! Awesome. Thanks, Matt :)

I absolutely agree with that second point; my notebook is full of notes like “Boy, these white guys sure are teaching this black guy a lot of stuff, huh?”

Two things I liked about Longshot:

The latest Monster Factory had a lot of fun with the NBA version of this, exploiting the McElroys’ profound lack of Basketball knowledge to great comedic effect during their character’s early NBA career:

WAYPTW will always go up on the main AVC site at midnight central on Fridays. Unfortunately, we don’t currently have a way to schedule shares to the verticals ahead of time, so it’s kind of a “I can get to it when I can get to it” situation for now.

You and me both. I couldn’t handle it, if it had a Mass Effect: Andromeda roll-out.

I wish I were able to play FPS games so I could find a more organic reason to post this GIF, but it is what it is! :P

Well said, Clayton! All of the new features are pretty much tweaks to the original, but <b>Destiny 2</b> feels like a slicker, more cohesive version of the original game. Gone is launching into orbit for every mission (you still have to in order to travel between planets, but it’s very quick). Instead all of the…

Mario Kart 8 at 8 tonight! Going to see It at 5, which should give me plenty of time to get home and play (I’m east coast so kart starts at 9). Really hoping I don’t forget again!

My return to No Man’s Sky has stuck. I’ve actually engaged with base building for the first time, and I’m following the new story whenever I get the hankering for a more structured experience. The Atlas quest is a little bugged now, so it’s taking me twice as long as it should because I have to jump through a few…

I made it! I guess this Kinja thing isn’t so bad after al....I couldn’t finish, sorry.

Next Friday is Mario Kart 8 on the 8th, so this is the perfect lead in! I got a message on Discord that BillyBillericay, who announced in WAYPTW he just bought a Wii U and might try to join us! I made sure to have him let me know if he can buy the DLC in time - I want to include both him and the DLC if possible, but…

On Sunday, the Gameological Fantasy Football League Draft was conducted to the enjoyment of all. We promised ourselves at draft time that we wouldn’t repeat last year’s debacle and draft people for insane prices, but we were fooling ourselves. In fact, it was much, much worse.

I get the feeling we could talk Mario Kart tracks every week and never really run out of things to discuss, the courses are so tightly designed, packed full of secrets, and of course replayable. Even Grumble Volcano, which generally gives me fits, has its own evil, evil charm.

My goal is to one day get a comment on one of these articles. I missed the Mario Kart one until a day or 2 had passed and Kinja didn’t let me load the comments so I think I was able to squeak a comment or 2 in. But I completely agree with DL’s take on Baby Park. Love that track. I said it on the article, but Mount…

Thanks man! I can’t install the Chrome extension (using a work computer, they won’t let me do stuff like that). I’ll try it at home, though.

People of the AV Club, I have returned!
