The Hidden Profile of the madmonkeyrider

I am so weird,so psychotic you'd think I was a hermit.Maybe I am,maybe I'm not but I'll tell you what I am certainly not a retard.I am a picky man with everything,books,food, and even video games. I like to freak my enemies out by making them think I'm out to kill them. TV and me don't mix if it wasn't for Simpsons,Family Guy, NCIS and the fact that my video game system needs it I'd throw that thing out. By the time you finish reading this I'll probably be cruising on my Trek bike. Might I add I'm a dinosaur. I barely know how to post this blog profile let alone program a computer. Books rock if they are good few fit my standards(Lemony Snicket,Seekers and Warriorcats fit a few). I also made up my own language.Currently working on a fun novel,Icelandic language and culture and getting muscles.I like all temperatures so long as it's below 120 F and above-20 F.My kinda afternoon is a hot afternoon sleeping in a hammock taking a siesta with lemonade.My evening is cold with a book,hot choclate in a rocking chair near a fire.I'll admit to being lifeless....for now.Say that to my face and you'll be literally lifeless heh heh heh

Mario Kart Comparison

Yea 2 posts one day,I'm really going for it I don't intend to post tomorrow and my sister Asm has gone so crazy with her novel "The Stones of Destiny" she must have the computer more so yeah.The novel isn't that bad,but I'm once again posing about a video game comparison(once again non-video gamers don't read on)

Yesterday it was 3D Mario's now it's the best racing franchise(except maybe for Out Run or Crusin') ever it is famous for having the same concept but different niches per game since is debut in 1992.Still don't know? Turtle Shells,Bananas,Items Boxes,Mario? Give up it's (drumroll)........MARIO KART!!!!!

Lets start with the original and most challenging Super Mario Kart

Average Track Score: 20/20(I like the tracks alot 64 still has the edge though)
Music:13/20(The tracks and music aren't compatible)

Final:17/20(it acually fares worse than DD and Super fares better but by fairness they tie)

Now for the 6 of 6 the online and motorcycles wii have Mario Kart Wii


Mario Kart Wii

Battle:17/20(It's nice better than DS's by what I hear and see but it doesn't have it's 3D precursors edge plus no free for all demoting the score to 17)
Average Track Score:19/20(Better than DD worse than DS and 64,but at least they're seems to have some effort made I can't help but feel it's Super Mario Galaxy Kart)
Music:15/20

Final:16/20(I left out challenge because personalluy haven't played it but I've seen other reviews and seen videos on utube,otherwise it'd be like the others)

Mario Kart 64 wins and Wii is in dead last but I haven't really expierienced it,of the 5 I've played DS appears last

Thus ending this long post and review

Hope you enjoyed(This might be the last thing you see before you doie of WoW addiction)
