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.
