Warp Pipe Adds 8-Player Mario Kart, 1080 Avalanche Support

Posted by simoniker on from the many-tentacles-pimping-on-the-joypads dept.

Thanks to the Warp Pipe site for its announcement that the latest 0.3.1 version of their Warp Pipe tunneling software for GameCube has been released, with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X flavors now sporting a bugfix allowing a full complement of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! competitors ("you can play with up to 8 players via two Cubes"), and partial support for new GameCube snowboarding title 1080 Avalanche, albeit with "some stability issues", for this software which "enables you to play LAN-supported GameCube games over the Internet for free with other GameCube gamers."

    You've got it right there. CLEARLY, anyone who has fun playing console games online has been duped by marketing and needs to get back to playing PC Counterstrike.

    Well, I better get in a few more games of Top Spin, or Crimson Skies, before everyone else wises up to this.

    It is far, far better to play the same computer AI over and over again. So I can learn every nuance of 'okay, there will be a guy over here, and if I throw a grenade right THERE I will kill him.'

    Or better yet, I will devote myself to playing single player, so I can be like that guy who can beat Mario Brothers in like 8 minutes.

    Playing against humans on-line is just stupid! Why would I want to play a game against something as unpredictable as a people?

    NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. CDs hold more data, therefore they are ALWAYS better. Never worse, you are a victem of Nintendo's brilliant marketing scheme.
