What are you playing?

When I have had time to kill lately, it's been nothing but Sonic fan games believe it or not! Just finished the Mystic Realm again with all emeralds and blew right through the official levels on SRB2. (Analog mode ftw!) Eggrock is still a pain, though. Sonic Axiom isn't half bad either, even if some of the enemies were all animated instead of written with their own movement systems.

Well, it may have been 2 weeks. Normally I don't really go all-out on all of them either, there's just one main game I'm playing at a time and I just play little bits of the rest for a change of pace.
And yeah, the AI in MKDS is near-unbeatable, I can't manage to get better than 3rd place. I can powerslide reasonably OK, but the CPU manages to do it much quicker and smoother, whereas I actually have to use a D-Pad. I might give it a break before I try the Mirror Cup.

Oh, I thought you were actually going all-out. xD And don't worry too much about the AI. Once you get better at the "snaking" technique, you can pretty much dig trenches around them and catch up to last place before the race is even over, just like with any other Mario Kart game. =P

I'm surprised anyone would find the D-Pad difficult to race with on MKDS. Personally, I found the controls more than smooth enough to compensate for the lack of analog sensitivity. Then again, I've been playing Mario Kart since the SNES, and drove right through Gran Turismo most of the time with only the D-Pad, so it could just be me.
