"You swing your arm back and forth like this, babe. That's how you hit the ball." Seokmin's behind you, breath hitting your ear as he puts one hand on your waist and the other on your right arm, performing the swinging motion. Your cheeks are warm from the touch, and Seokmin notices this, a smile on his face as he pulls away.

Your boyfriend was a sports fanatic—he loved lots of sports, and were good at a lot of them too. The first game he had bought for the Wii you two shared was Wii Sports, and he had the joy (at least, that's what he said) of teaching you how to play the game.

You loved Wii games, but disliked sports—you didn't see the hype around them, and you never understood the rules anyways. Seokmin was just so excited to show you how to swing for tennis and serve for volleyball using the Wii remotes, though.

How could you say no to a sweet smile like the one your boyfriend had?

"Seokmin, baby, I really don't think I'm made for this." You look at him, and he adjusts his baseball cap, shaking his head as the watch on his wrist shuffles with his movements.

"We're just gonna give it sometime, okay? Let's try baseball again, okay?" Seokmin looks over to you, voice soft as he exits the tennis portion of the game.

"You'll crush me! You're so good at baseball, Minnie, it's not even a competition with you." You mumble, and Seokmin laughs, kissing your cheek as he shakes his head. "I'll go easy on you, I promise. I want you to get the hang of it first."

As he continues to find the baseball setting, you watch your boyfriend from behind, studying his broad frame and muscled shoulders and arms he's gotten by pitching baseballs and serving volleyballs, no doubt.

As Seokmin worked to recallibrate your controller, you studied his nearly perfect batting form, watching the slope of his nose, bite of his bottom lip, and twinkle of his eye as he focused on the instruction on screen.

"Alright, I think I've got it. Come on, honey, let's try again." Seokmin hands you your remote, and you sigh, shuffling to get in place as you spread out from him.

"Why can't we just play Mariokart and call it a day?" You question, and Seokmin looks over to you, eyes puppy-like as he juts out his lower lip.

"Let's just try one more time, okay? Just one more time." Seokmin begs like a little child, and you can't say no, especially when he's looking at you with wide, sparkly eyes.

"......Fine. One more time." You finally give in, spreading your legs out as you get ready to bat. "I love you." Seokmin looks over to you, nose scrunched up as his eyes disappear into pretty crecsents.

Shaking your head, you brace for Seokmin's pitch, giving it your best shot as you swing your arm like he told you. Your ball flies into the sky, an announcement of a home run adorning the screen as you scream and jump for joy. Seokmin runs to you, obviously happy for you as he picks you up in his arms and spins you around.

Once he places you down, with your hands still on his shoulders and his still on your waist, he takes the Wii remote from you, eyes now half lidded as he smirks at you.

Unable to look at him seriously, you laugh, eyes lighting up as you take in Seokmin's now devious expression. It's obvious that he wants something from you, but you can't blame him, as you also want what he's thinking about.

"I think I deserve a home run kiss." You whisper, bringing your hand to the brim of his baseball cap as you take it off, revealing his messy, dark brown hair.

"I was just about to give it to you." Seokmin says, voice soft yet deep as he searches your eyes.

Your run your hands through his hair, letting the bangs fall in front of his eyes perfectly as he starts to lean in, eyes closing as his lips touch yours. His lips feel perfect against yours, and your hands go from Seokmin's shoulders to sliding down his strong back, and making their way back into his curly hair.

The baseball cap in your hands is long gone, on the floor as your hands go back to Seokmin's broad shoulders yet again. He smiles under you, over the moon at your kisses as he pulls away, breathless.

"I knew you could do it. You just needed a little bit of practice." Seokmin smiles softly, and you sway with him, hands in his as you stare into his eyes.

"I think it's because your Mii character is so cute." You tease lightly, and Seokmin glares at you, picking up his baseball cap and throwing it at you as you squeal, laughing.

"I'm just kidding, Seokmin. No Mii could ever take me from you." You sigh, and Seokmin beams, handing you your controller as he asks: "For one last time?"

While you're here, why not check out the rest of the tournament?? Prelims pt 2 ends this Saturday (pretty please vote and participate)

Happy pride again, and happy voting!!

Kurt does not play video games but he would be bawling at some of these storylines, im telling ya. he spends too much time working with mutantkind and mutant rights, he'd find playing a video game to be more of a 'unproductive time' than anything else. He can see the value in them, but he'd get too anxious while playing them because of everything else he has going on.

Meowmaid is happy you are here, Master Francis is ready to see you.

Mario Kart Wii’s Rainbow Road: An Iconic Track Requiring High Skills

Rainbow Road on Mario Kart Wii.

As a gamer who achieved first place in all 32 Mario Kart Wii tracks, Rainbow Road is the hardest course to achieve 1st place. Playing this track on 50cc or 100cc is nowhere near as difficult as driving on 150cc or Mirror Mode (where the track is inverted left-to-right).

While you might enjoy Rainbow Road’s music, you will feel pressured by the following stress factors:

Rainbow Road is the last track of the Special Cup, meaning you will have to play all 4 courses again if you rank poorly.

There are tight turns, little guardrails, and half-pipe jumps that make it easy to fall off the course.

According to a player from TheTopTens,

“Wii Rainbow Road is very fun to play on, and definitely very hard. Add sharp turns to crazy waving roads split paths, speed boosts, risky shortcuts and amazing music and you've got an impossible track.”

Wii Rainbow Road on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Rainbow Road is so difficult that Nintendo added more guardrails when the course was added to the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course DLC.

In my opinion, the newer Rainbow Road doesn’t feel the same. Driving on this course feels like bowling with the bumpers on.

I've been playing some good ol' Mariokart lately.

Mariokart Double Dash hasn't got many tracks, and none are super amazing, but the gameplay is pretty chaotic. It's unfortunate there's (obviously) no online multiplayer in this version because it would be a blast.

Mariokart 8 Deluxe has a lot of tracks and a lot of polish and an online mode, but unfortunately I get very bored playing this game. The items are tamer, there aren't any differences between the characters or karts, and I suppose the racing isn't that engaging because of the lack of meaningful obstacles or punishment on most courses.
