Nifta

Its my main emu box for my TV. It handles most up to (a large chunk of) GameCube games and (a little bit of) Wii. Everything before that is pretty flawless.

I think this is my last tour too. Just playing over and over in the hope of randomly being given a Frenzy seems the only "tactic" required to do well in cups.

No new items from my pulls in either Paris or Winter tours, and just one new (silver) item available in the shop that whole time too.

It's ending for me with the usual empty feeling that I finally quit all f2p games with.

Where is the Tarantino version of Shatner going medieval on a Clingon's ass?

All the press is finished for "Once upon a time in Hollywood" now so he doesn't need to talk about Star Trek any longer.

Is that Murray (Flight of the Concords) being the voice of the assistant guy?

 I've given up on 'waiting to buy with gold'. During the whole 2 weeks of the Paris tour only one new item showed in the store for me and that was one of the purple/premium items at 12,000 coins.

Screw that

I'm starting to drift away from this game now sadly :/

What’s even weirder is that the Wii u can play GameCube games but Nintendo disabled it. Not on mine though....

Does yours read discs, or are you using Nintendont and ROMs?

I'm entirely sure now that even the avatars you race against are faked. 15 minutes into the new tour unlocking and so far every race I've been in has had at least one driver using one of the new tour karts or drivers. I knew they weren't real ghosts but I thought perhaps the player appearances were at least real. But they're just adverts to show off the items you havent bought yet.

I finished it off and still felt like it hasn't developed, unfortunately. To finish a whole season while having so little explained... It should have reached this far by episode 4 or 5; not the end of the season!

So is there anyone in this 52 page thread who's played a game on Stadia?

I'm down in 10th. Need to spend to get favoured drivers/gear if I want to get higher. Not gonna pay to win though so I guess we'll try next tour!

Another interesting new one

Up to end of episode 6 now. Lord it's boring. The story isn't developing anywhere. Why am I still watching?

I'm in the same situation.

What confuses meet is that the streams I watch have really bad subtitles of the English lines that seem to have gone back and forth in google translate five times and only vaguely resemble the actually spoken line. But then drop all subtitles for the French lines completely?

I'm only 30 points from top spot but I can't make it!

Blimey, upgrading this one from 3 to 4 takes 8 upgrades 

Yeah, I'm guessing that item Level is going to play a larger role soon. But raising a single item from Level 3 to level 4 takes, what, 5 or 6 upgrades? Getting a library of Level 4 items will take a huge effort.

Anyone else seeing nothing of interest to buy in the actual shop with coins this Tour so far? I've already had

all of the items you can buy each day (for me).

I've a load of unspent gems (55) and I'm waiting to see what to do with them.

My strategy had been to spend gems on gold rush to get items I want.

If nothing good appears in the shop (convert gems to coins in a Gold Rush) I guess I'll do some pipe pulls when part 2 of the tour starts..

Wonder if there's some algorithm saying "don't give him good stuff to buy as we want him to throw away those gems into the pipes"

I'm up to episode 5 of the canal+ one and I realised they've skipped any semblance of a "war" part; even a "hopelessly outgunned and getting decimated" war. Lord, it's boring.

Why just one analogue stick? Just to support Dreamcast (but not most PS1) games? Odd choice.

Couldn't most PS1 games be played with this? Or is my memory failing me? I remember Ape Escape being the first analogue exclusive, but were there lots?

Yummy

Suck it, 'Briannanle'. I take first place on style I guess

Ooh, j just got the quickshaw on the pipe too. That's 2/3 now, no real spends 

Ooh, I just got Kimono Peach in a pipe tug. That was a nice surprise

Last day of the 2 week trial of gold pass for me today. Just sent the cancellation for that. I don't know if it's just my memory playing tricks but I felt the gold pass gave better rewards (new drivers and karts) in the New York tour.

I ended up 7th after I was overtaken during the night so I just missed out on those sweet, sweet rubies

Anyone seen this PowKiddy X18 (wow, what a name!)

It seems like a slightly lower specced GPD XD but a bit cheaper at about £99 (compared to £150 of the GPD XD)

Personally I cant get over the "xtreme-gaming PC" red-highlights of the physical case but it may suit some people  I'm just a snob!

Slightly larger screen than the GPD XD is nice!
