    on a side note, the weapons need some serious balancing on Elite difficulty. It's one thing to require a gamer to have mad skills and another to gamble.

    I mean, I started off 8th and all the weapons given to me, each time, were either mines, bombs, shields or mines again - only getting to projectiles by the third lap, and rarely at that too.

    This isn't mariokart Wii, the weapons need to reflect the probabilities of success at any given position (eg, gradually better luck with weapons the more behind you are). The random generator used thus far really annoys me, especially when I have perfect laps and don't miss a single speed pad.

    Please release a patch for this if you hear me!

    PS: Greetings to all the folks at studio Liverpool. Since I lived/got my degree there I had the chance to visit quite a few times although I was overqualified to be a game tester according to my interviewees =(

    Is Elite the diffciulty or the enemy intelligence? I generally stick it down to Skilled. I'm a "default whore" and almost never play anything on anything but the middle setting (which is usually default). Not sure why they jacked this one up. I might change it back.

    Detonator and the one w/ the Mines are just too much fun.

    Shit, that's the question. 22:00+ JST is always easiest, and I'm GMT +9, so uh... ask my son what time that is for you. I've had too much to drink!

    that means you're 6 hours ahead of us.. which would make 22:00 JST 16:00 Greek Super Time. I ll be online at the agreed time in the following 24 hours then. You've got me on your buddy list right? Barc0de, with a zero!
