With that said, I’ve been playing it pretty much all day (while I should be doing other things) and have to admit that I’m not good compared to the majority of you all.

Don’t worry, though. I’ll keep practicing and pretty soon I’ll get about the base 5,000 experience points (or whatever they call that rating)… :)

My Mario Kart Wii Friend Code is 3866-8418-2060

If you haven’t picked it up yet, I cannot recommend Mario Kart Wii enough. After owning it for about 8 hours, it’s easily in my top 3 Wii games so far.

Have I told you how much I’m looking forward to the Wii? :)

]]> http://www.marusin.com/2006/10/10/me-as-a-mii/feed/ 0 It’s that time again… http://www.marusin.com/2006/09/14/its-that-time-again/ http://www.marusin.com/2006/09/14/its-that-time-again/#comments Thu, 14 Sep 2006 21:53:43 +0000 mike http://www.marusin.com/2006/09/14/its-that-time-again/ I haven’t done an “Up With/Down With” in quite some time. With that said, there’s no better time than the present!

Up With:
- Fall being right around the corner (courdoroy has officially gone into rotation)
- The Wii finally being getting a release date (more on this later)
- My new Timbuk2 “Blogger” bag (am I loser since this originally caught my eye because of the name? um, yah)
- My “Good Luck Cat” not catching fire (yet)
- The continued success of my steak taco obsession (this may become the name of my “band”)
- Things that charge over USB

Down With:
- iPower Web Hosting (I’ve been dealing with them because of a client. WORST HOSTING COMPANY ever ~ and I felt that way before I got hung up on by their tech support!)
- The media/news (re)coverage of September 11th (reminds me of David Cross’s “9/11 Remix” routine)
- Printers in my house. I’ve never had good luck with any printer I’ve owned.
- Being teased.

]]> http://www.marusin.com/2006/09/11/its-a-good-week-to-be-a-nerd/feed/ 0 wow http://www.marusin.com/2006/05/09/wow-2/ http://www.marusin.com/2006/05/09/wow-2/#comments Tue, 09 May 2006 19:00:46 +0000 mike http://www.marusin.com/2006/05/09/wow-2/ I just finished watching the Nintendo Press Conference from e3 (well, I actually listened to it and flipped over to the window every once and a while when things sounded interesting). As you know around here, my allegiance to Nintendo has really heightened since I picked up a DS at the beginning of the year. I have been interested and intrigued by the Wii, but was still a bit apprehensive until some actual news was announced…

There is definitely a vacation day or two coming my way this fall (or I guess I should say, sometime in Q4 2006) when the Wii is released. Between the games that have been announced (Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Red Steel, Zelda: Twilight Princess, etc.) and then watching the demo at the end where the Nintendo crew played the tennis game (part of “Wii Sports”), I will be pre-ordering, lining up overnight or whatever it takes to get one.

Update: Here’s the video of all of the Nintendo execs playing tennis. You can’t tell me that you’re not intrigued after watching this… :)
