Now that I've actually had some time to play with the Wii U, I'm pressed.

I got home a little late last night so The Wife was already home watching her design shows. Usually that means I'll be annoyed because I have to watch them or she'll be annoyed because I make her change the channel. When I saw she was watching those, I happily sat on the couch next to her, picked up my Gamepad, and played the Wii U.

I downloaded Mighty Switch Force: Hyper Drive, browsed the internet, messed around in Mii Verse, and had a good time without disturbing The Wife.

My only complaint about the Wii U itself is the load times for the menu's and various apps, it can take anywhere between 20-30 seconds which is just insane. I really hope they address that soon.

Still though, it was cool to be playing a game, get stumped, and then go check out Miiverse for the solution, and then hop right back into the game all without leaving the Wii U or even needing my TV.
