I’m trying to connect to the Nintendo WiFi Connection with Mario Kart DS, and it just isn’t working. My DS and my home wireless network are playing just fine. It is just that Nintendo’s servers are being crushed by the onslaught of DS owners who want to get their Mario Kart on. In the meantime, I am playing offline and enjoying the game.

Also, I noticed that the Xbox LIVE servers are down, as evidenced by our gamer cards not loading correctly. The Internets are definitely crashing. Very scary indeed.

Oh, and the X360 is paid off. WOOT!

If you want to play against me in Mario Kart DS, my Friend Code is:
0 4 7 3 0 4
1 2 0 6 4 9

Edit: Setting up the DS for wireless play was ridiculously easy. It took me less than two minutes.
