To be honest, very few games trigger the neurons like some of the games I loved as a teen or in college. I feel you.
I mean, the first time I saw Donkey Kong I almost lost my damned mind. Now, I can fly a dragon through a UHD world with my VR glasses on, and I'm like "Meh. . . just another dragon in just another massive universe."

Yes indeed. I have fond memories of playing Mario kart. Hitting someone with a red shell is normal, hitting with a green one was priceless.

D3's a good game, it's d2lod where every run is a loot pinata. Still no druid though, sadface. It's getting great reviews for the switch, it was in the running...but....I opted for another great game that ported.

Starlink Battle for Atlas is $19.99 on Newegg right now, which is like $55 off. I don't know much about it, but I just bought a copy for the Switch. Might be worth checking out especially for kids. It's the one with the plastic starship and you switch the pieces on it to change it in game. You have to put a promo code in or it's on sale for $39.99. EMCERRR48
IGN rated it 7.0

Well, Odyssey was a great call. We've all got the flu, and we ran that thing until the controller batteries died. A great time was had.
I was going to go with Mario Kart right away, but actually we have in on Wii, and I'm wondering if I really want to shell out for a new version when the old one is still fun.

I bought the game 2 months ago and I have a nice chantodo-Tal Rasha Wizard. Can do GR45 solipsist lel, struggling, but that's the best gear to the moment. And its fun how people react.

On Wii or Wii U?
If on Wii, then it's definitely worth it. Mario Kart 8 has new characters and new tracks. (And some old ones)
If on Wii U, then it might not be worth it. Unless you didn't get the DLC. It's the same game except for maybe one or two characters I think.

You are on the US region, do characters mingle between regions? I can start anew, on a US server but you should be fun to play with. Snd yes, i am not complaining, but d3 is more of a loot pinata than d2.My nephew of six, that fears not the horror is slowly building up to 70 via campaign. He says imperious is a dickhead.
Oh well at least I can boost people and offer unwanted gear. I do lack the time for good farming.
