Games to Look Forward to in 2015

2014 was a year that saw the Wii U finally start to develop it's base of games to be the leader as far as quality games goes among the three main consoles, which makes sense due to it being a year older than the XBox One or the Playstation 4. So, which games am I looking forward to the most in 2015? Well, that's what this is all about.

Who Are Today's Big 4 of Thrash?

Warning! Do not take this article too seriously! It's meant to be a light hearted way of looking at who the four top bands in thrash today are. So, anyway, we'll look at who those bands are, and we'll also look at which band is their closest match from the original big 4.

My All Time Favorite Video Game Series

This is the type of thing that may change a bit with time, so I guess it would be better to call this the 2014 version of this list. Anyway, there are a ton of video game series out there that I absolutely love. Some have as few as three games (when I consider it to really be a series), and some have 20+, or even more than that. Here is my list.

Dispelling a Video Game Myth and a Bonus

There has always been one video game myth that has bugged me. As someone who does laugh at how the Call of Duty games really seem to all be the same thing over and over again, when my favorite series is given the same treatment, I will defend that game series with great confidence. The series is the Legend of Zelda, and every time I hear anyone say anything about the games being the same, the first thing that happens is that I totally lose respect for that person, the second thing is that through a civil debate (at least I keep it civil), I make sure that person realizes either how ill informed or just how unintelligent they are, and here's how (some spoilers ahead, although I'll try to make them minimal).

Mario Kart 8 Review and Rankings

On Friday after work the first thing I did was run out and get Mario Kart 8. While I knew that this wouldn't be a huge departure from the rest of the series or anything, it wouldn't be a groundbreaking game in the series or anything, but at the same time, I'd liked every Mario Kart game that I had played before, so of course I was going to like this. Also, this being another game to play on the Wii U doesn't hurt either, a system that I feel is still hurting for games. Anyway, to give you an early hint of what I thought about the game, my right thumb was sore from Saturday through Monday, and I haven't even had a chance to play it for more than 1 cup since Saturday night.

Underrated Games Among Fans of their Series

I've been playing a game lately that will appear on this list, and I've realized that there really is no reason for that game to have as many people in the fanbase for that game series to be saying some of the things that they do. So anyway, I'm going to go over a few of these games and give my reasons for why I think that the fans that say these things are either biased in some sort, or are plain flat out wrong.

Who Are The Most Intense Bands Out There?

I'll start this off with a disclaimer. I have not heard every band in the world, so this list is limited to just bands that I've heard. Anyway, I do have a solid knowledge of music that is out there, and a lot of my friends will sometime ask me who I think are the heaviest, fastest, or just the most intense bands or music acts out there. Well, I'm going to answer a lot of those questions here. My use of genres is really only to allow the reader to imagine what any bands they may not have heard yet actually sound like. It's not for me to pigeonhole a band or anything like that, because a lot of these bands cannot be really pigeonholed into a single genre.
