it goes up to 3. 3s pretty hardcore though, iv only seen very few people racing online who have 3 stars on every track in every cup. mirrors a bitch, thats my weak spot. but i never play single player now i just always race online cuz its more fun. tho i dont play my wii very often anymore. anyway, just race me before you keep bigging yourself up then get beaten by a gurllll

I had a Wii but ended up selling it since I never had time to play it, I'll just play my friends whenever I'm at his place
but I'm pretty sure I would dominate anyone in mariokart, I was double dash god and consistently beat people from Japan on MarioKart DS

haha, yeah beating the japanese is always so satisfying, even though for all i know it might be a 4 year old. whenever you look at the world rankings online on the wii theyr all japanese and swedish. i think they must be pretty into nintendo in sweden. my mate has been to a few smash bro's tournaments there. hes a smash pro. im crap at smash

I used to play computer games professionally, it was always interesting when they would have tournaments with the console players and in the down time someone would bust out something like Mario Kart
you have a room full of people who make a living playing video games yelling at screaming at each other playing Mario Kart. a lot of money was won and lost on those matches. this one guy would make bank whenever someone had the early Mortal Kombat games, he would neglect to mention that he hasn't lost to anyone in about 3 years.

Yeah, I remember back when arcades actually existed in Hull, I was like two fights away from completing X-Men Vs Street Fighter and this Japanese guy strolls in, sits next to me and fucking puts his 50p in for a match. I was like 'What the fuck dude!', given that he'd just breached the one universal code of conduct and challenged me without asking.
Whatever, he was playing the language card I think and just picked his characters without another word.
So i'd pretty much written my game off anyway.
Turns out he just could not handle my Akuma/Gambit double team.
He got destroyed. Then got up and left.
I went on to finish the game. I swear I didn't stop smiling all day.
Kinda makes me miss video games a bit, I made a concious decision a whie ago to stop playing them because they we consuming too much of my time.
Although Street Fighter 4 is out soon.....

Professionally? Explain
One of my mates is a computer games tester for Codemasters. He literally just has to sit and play games all day until glitches come up, then he makes a note of the glitch and the type of glitch. His ID card for work is well funny, it's all trekkie and has "mission-statement" on it and stuff. Sounds like a cool place to work anyway.
The trocadero centre in piccadilly circus has this amazing arcade in it that i go to some weekends if i can't think of anything else to do. Mario Kart GP is awesome. They'v got Tekken 6 too which i don't think is out till next year, but theyv had it for months and theres always an enormous crowd of people around it. And theyv all got player cards with their data on and u can see how many wins and how many losses some of them have had, its ridiculous. i remember watching them 'cause i'd run out of coins to play any games myself and this one guy had been beating everyone for soooo long then this way pretty japanese girl came up and absolutely battered him. in my head i was all like "yeaah u go girl!" haha.

I pretty much made a living by just going to different tournaments and walking away with a nice paycheck. Also never had to pay for hotel or airfare as whatever team I was playing for at the time would pay for that. It was a fucking awesome life but you get to a point where you just can't do it anymore. I played Quake 3 and Quake 4 on the computer. I could play Quake 3 for months and never get bored of it but when all the tournaments switched to Quake 4 it became insane because I hated the game so much but still had to play it 8-10 hours a day and before tournaments we would play 12-14 a day.
my girlfriend at the time loved it though because we were in a I guess long distance relationship (she was still in high school in Orlando when I started college in Gainesville) and people would tell her the typical "oh your boyfriends in college now he is gonna leave you for some girl up there" and she would laugh and state how I couldn't meet anyone because I never left my dorm room (which was true)

12-14 hours a day on a game you hate.
Jesus dude, that's some dedication, I'm not even up for that long some days.
