Tough “Guessing Week” 🙂
Yep.
When does the rubber band effect come into play?
I don’t know what this is. Last time I played Mario Kart was on the GameCube.
I believe he’s referring to the miraculous recovery of AI opponents late in the race to make the ending a bit more interesting.
Just a guess though
I must be old. I have no idea what mushrooms or bananas are. Since I am at -5, you can go ahead and purge me.
Not old. Just no fun. 🙂
Seriously, though, if you want to well-waste a whole season of your life, you could do worse than with Mario Kart.
Great, Joel. Now I feel both old AND no fun! More seriously, thanks for the splanation. You can purge me though.
