Well, Nintendo has finally succumb to the first step of becoming EA. Making useless DLC to promote some sort of sporting event that is happening in one country. In this case, they added... Mercedes Karts? Well, we're off with flying colours seeing as though about five people will look at that and say: "Wow, a Mercedes in Mario Kart? Just what I've always wanted!"
It's a ridiculous idea. You have all of these unique, creative cars and you decide the first of many DLC's will be a Mercedes? To be honest, I do think this marks a step for Nintendo. It's the first time they've added DLC from what I can remember and I want to see where they can take it. I'm sure they'll be adding more Karts, hopefully some of the classic maps that weren't featured and maybe some new characters. Of course, you would have to buy a Wii U first, which not many people have done and I'm also guessing that this DLC will not be free. It'll probably cost you roughly 69p, the same amount as a cheap iPad app.
This could be a big break for Nintendo, but it could also break them.

In Memory of Robin Williams
Well, I woke up this morning expecting a nice day, was going to watch some IT Crowd followed by a session of writing my book, but that changed when I looked at Facebook and saw "Rest In Peace Robin Williams, you were taken away too early from us." Obviously after two minutes of being awake I was rather tired and didn't know what to make of the situation so I fired up my laptop, went to Wikipedia and searched for Robin Williams.
Believe it or not he has died. He was found dead in his home and was pronounced dead there.
As soon as the news hit many celebrities such as Simon Pegg, Eddie Izzard, Bill Lawrence and so on took to Twitter to share their grievances. I'm sure a lot of his fans are very upset, including me. Robin Williams shaped a lot of peoples childhoods with movies such as Jumanji, Flubber, Mrs. Doubtfire and Hook. Not only was he an outstanding actor, but he was a superb stand up comedian and amazing person too. The whole intro to Aladin was improvised by Robin Williams, using his creativity to think up the beginning.
Obviously Robin Williams will be missed dearly by his family, friends and fans. Just remember how creative the man was and all the work he did to make us laugh, cry and share our emotions with his work.
"You're only given one little spark of madness You mustn't lose it."
