I haven’t had much time, so there was just a bit of arcade-ish racing tonight, first in Mario Kart Wii again. Someone on my friends list sent me a challenge ghost that I could race against, so I did with the Funky Kong + Flame Rider combo, and just barely beat him by about three tenths of a second. I also did the Flower Cup in the 150cc class, and was surprised to score two stars on it given how close some of the races were.

I also spent some time back in TrackMania United Forever, playing for a while on a Brazilian server with a bunch of custom maps. The players there were pretty good, so I usually only placed mid-pack (highest was 4th, out of 25-30 people), but some of the maps were pretty crazy and difficult to learn, too. My global rank has fallen to around 15,000th place, but that’s out of around 550,000 players now, as the game (or at least the free version) spreads.
