Yeah my girfriend 
In addition to that I always watch TV and play handheld games (or browse the web) at the same time. I often find myself watching TV while playing 3DS / PSP even though I just bought a great new game for my PS3 / Wii. I recently purchased Assassin's Creed 2 and Mass Effect 2 (always wanted to buy those games but somehow never got around to do so) but I hardly ever play them. I don't even know why - both games are great but I'd rather play New Super Mario Bros. 2 and watch TV at the same time. Console gaming isn't as pick up and play as it used to be. With the Wii U gamepad I hope it will be easier to play in short bursts, while watching TV, in the bedroom, etc. It gives me a chance to better integrate gaming into my daily life.
Not sure if people around here can understand this but nowadays when I read a review that says "it will take a you good 50 hours to finish this" I feel discouraged to purchase the game. Uncharted and God of War are two of my favorite gaming series because they don't feel like you need to invest ten years of your life to properly play through them. The Wii U gamepad will make it easier for me to put more time into my games because it increases the number of situations in which I feel like playing a game. I hope in the future I'll be able to look forward to the more epic games out there again.
