Mario Kart 8 Official General Discussion

[AkatsukiYoshi]

No worries, guys. Thursday is a really random day to stream, so I understand for folks that can't make it. I'd stream later at night on Thursday, but with the DLC being released, twitch is going to be a NIGHTMARE as far as streaming goes that evening. Perhaps even the daytime, too, for all I know. If worse comes to worst, I may have to put it off a day or two if the twitch traffic is absolutely horrible that day.

Things are still subject to change. I may even end up streaming earlier in the day, possibly, if I think that would be more likely to work out.

Also, thanks to everyone who came to/raced in the stream last night! T'was a fun time, and I apologize for having to cut it a bit shorter than usual. Twitch just wasn't cooperating and the poor chat was a whole race or more behind what was happening.

Twitch wasn't really working for me at all yesterday. I was going to join the chat and ask to join the room, but Twitch decided not to work at all.

Anyone wanna race?
Looking to get some in before the DLC drops!

I just need this now, I for some ridiculous reason was under the impression it was out in March :') Glad its being released earlier though!

So who's going to be staying up/waking up and getting on when the DLC releases? I know me and Jingle are. (4AM karting really is the best honestly.)

I'll be at work at 6AM, so I won't be able to play until I get back. Ah well.

By the way, guys, I'll be streaming probably around 4PM EST! Maybe 4:30PM-ish, since I'll try to eat before I stream. I considered making it later, but that's not going to happen, since a friend of mine will be streaming around 7-8PM EST time and asked me to join his MK8 stream later.

As much as I would like to join in too, the release date for me would be around 3am-5am. I don't think I can stay up that late sadly.

Yeah, I intend on waking up then and playing straight through until it's too late for me to water my flowers on AC.

It said May everywhere up until the start of this month. And still does ingame. But damn them confusable 'M' months.

Just to be clear, the maintainance will be from 12:30 - 2AM PDT, (4AM CDT for me) and the DLC will be released at 2AMPDT (4AM CDT). Is 2AM PDT when it releases for everyone, or does it release at 2AM for each specific timezone/region?

 

[Lauren]

I was under the impression it was that time specifically which would make it around 10am for me. But I hope 2am, if so I'm staying up.

 

[Dr J]

wish I didn't have to work all night now... I could be playing as Isabelle tonight instead of after work in the morning >.<

(Ya'll still aren't allowed to use her.)

 

[Javocado]

I'm so pumped for this
My pants are already off

It would be 2AM PDT for everyone, but it might release around 12:30 instead. The Smash update last week had maitnence for 12-1 AM and the update was released around 12:05.
