Ah, Mario Kart. The game that ends friendships, destroys bonds and creates rifts that last through the ages and all because you had to hit me with that damn red shell right before I hit the finish line! You are such a jackass, Gina! Just wait until I get that blue shell because I'll wait until you're in first and home free and then I will ruin you. I WILL RUIN YOU!

Sorry, we're still fighting with a couple of friends over some extreme Mario Kart 64 sessions. And speaking of Mario Kart 64, the new trailer for Mario Kart 8 (out this May on the Wii U) shows a couple nods to the 64 version that so many of us fell in love with. This is the first Mario Kart since 2008 (not counting the one released for the Nintendo 3DS), and the first Mario Kart game designed for the Wii U console. And after seeing the trailer, we are already cracking our knuckles in anticipation. Because people will be going down.
