A Frenchman by the name Remi Gaillard has gone and done what a lot of Mario Kart fans probably wish they could do - race a Mario kart in real life. Gaillard takes to the streets with his customised racer, picking up power-ups and throwing banana peels at cars. His little speedster is surprisingly zippy…

If you need a bit of a smile today, watch this video for a good laugh, but keep watching for the awesome end event:

I had the pleasure of spending my Friday evening at Spur endeavoring to outwit, outplay and outlast my fellow gamers over dinner.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen we took our DS’s out into public and unsheathed them in plain view of the general public. We had Phat ones, finger printed Lite ones, pinks, whites and blacks too. It was a scandal second to none and naturally this exhibition did not go unnoticed. Waiters and patrons alike stopped dead in their tracks to ogle and quiz us on their way to the salad bar.

The amount of interest generated by the nine of us playing Mario Kart whilst chowing down between races was quite phenomenal. The men were naturally polite and let us get on with our “hardcore” gaming session however the ladies were darn outspoken. What is it that you are doing? Are you all playing the same game? Fortunately I was more than happy to share the joys of the Nintendo DS to them. In summary it went like this…”It is called a DS Lite which just launched in South Africa! Lots of fun with games for kids and adults.” I am not sure they believed the adults part and I didn’t have time to share the joys of Brain Age or Nintendogs.
