It’s no secret that the team at nclud loves Mario Kart, and we’re pretty good at it too. But the biggest question asked almost everyday is, who is the best? Well, this Saturday we answer that question once and for all, with the official nclud “Wii Love Mario Kart Intra-agency Championship”. The entire nclud team will be competing; Doris is even flying in from Florida and Michael from Oklahoma – it’s kind of a big deal.
It’s 8 people playing 4-player mode 5 rounds of 10 races set at 150cc aggressive setting. Trying to figure it all out? Don’t worry, there is a bracket for that: http://wiilovemariokart.com/bracket.
Want to make things interesting? Print out the PDF version and place you’re bets. Gambler’s tip: Mike Google’s shortcuts, DeSandro is the only one to drive in manual mode, Lauren has semi-consistently got first place for the past month (lucky streak), Martin and Alex will go out of their way (even if it means giving up first place) to squash, star or in anyway cause harm to another player, and then there is Doris and Dan – well … yeah.
It’s exciting, it’s amazing and it’s slightly ridiculous; so how do you get in on this action? Well, while you’re probably don’t have the skills to compete on our level (calm down, just kidding), all are welcome to attend the kart-off … at the nclud studio this Saturday, the 12th, starting at 4:30pm EST. Come for the awesome and stay for the holiday party; it too is going to be slightly ridiculous. Feel free to RSVP on Upcoming: http://upcoming.org/event/4887358
And yes, of course we’ve created some sort of ridiculous over-use of HTML5 and CSS3 for your online viewing pleasure – you’ll be able to watch of all the action online live at http://wiilovemariokart.com.
Take a sneak peak preview of our race from today:
Oh yeah, it’s on the twitter too; follow the action @mariokart.
Come out on Saturday and cheer on the racers; consider it the longest and most exciting pre-game to ‘A Better Holiday’ Party.

I am in town on business from New York. A group of us were on our way to an event last Saturday night and drove past your office. The general question was, “What is that place and what the heck are they all watching on the TV?”
Now I know. Happy Holidays! And who won?

Peter,
Thanks for checking us out ... we always get a lot of great guesses from strangers wondering what the heck our space is for!
@michaeldick took 1st place in Mario Kart—surprises us all, but well deserved.
