2 - So Bill, do you actually have Mario Kart for the Wii? If you do let's link up and race.

3 - Paul - ah - I've been married for 22 years.. I suspect I'd be impaled on the pole if I even suggested it.. She did say, when she opened the package "I bloody hope its not Wii Fit"... Phew..

Darren.. I've played for a total of 10 minutes.. I suspect you might win.. Now, on *real* bikes, cars, or carts, and I might have a fighting chance..

4 - Haha excellent Bill!

I gave the Wii to my son 2 weeks ago as a birthday gift (oldest excuse in the book ) and he got Mario Kart as a present as well. As a result the two words most mentioned at our place atm are... "Time Trials" (no, no profanity allowed, he's only 7! )

5 - Ever since I got back from Copenhagen with "presents", it's been Wii Star Wars non-stop around here. Both my kids are totally addicted.

6 - The cartoon is so apt! Especially on the multiplayer racing.. and doubly so on that damn rainbow track!
Lego Star Wars is a classic, we've played it through twice.
And WiiFit is a winner.. { Link }

7 - Oh but the rainbow track is great, just don't fall off!

The Bowser Castle ones, on the other hand...

8 - LOL, falling off is the very problem.. fine at 50cc, but soon as you get to 100 I just loose it, and I've not been near 150 on it yet.
but yes Bowser's castle is another PITA

9 - Yeah I know falling is the problem, I was joking I actually managed to win Rainbow on 100cc on my 2nd attempt - I wanted to unlock the Mii so badly!

Bill, extra session for ILUG: "Exchanging Mario Kart friend codes" ...?

10 - If that suggested ILUG session from @9 does happen, can someone make sure they record it for the rest of us? I'm jonesing to have a race with others in our corner of the blogosphere

Oh, wait, I know, a new section for Yancy to store on PL!
