Now I know what you're thinking, "aww man, more Nintendo privilege" or "that zelda guy really likes zelda" or "I get it girl, windbombs are rad" or "I guess it has been two years" or "does Hobz know it's the same zelda game" or "when are they going to cover a Need For Speed game" or "Yes! French Santa, here I come!" or "again?!" Well, there's a ver…

Well we've finally done it. Luke Skywalker and a giant spinning wheel are lying dead in the corner and our eyes are yellow now.
