  • Best Youtube Browser in gaming:  I discovered this entirely by accident.  I was using the browser version of Youtube (because the App sucks--just like it does on PS3 and 360).  With the Wii U, you can watch a video on the controller and the TV at the same time?  Awesome, right?  No?  Well, shut the fuck up and listen.  With the Wii U, you can throw the video on the TV Screen and browse the comments on the controller.  Still not awesome enough?  Well, with the Wii U, you can throw the video on the TV Screen and then navigate away from Youtube, browsing the entire interweb with your "Tablet Controller" while the video plays on your TV with absolutely no loss in quality.  Yeah.  I thought you'd see things my way.

This made me laugh so hard.

Options, Options, Options

Let's use Black Ops 2 as an example.  You want to use that new fangled controller instead of the TV?  Go for it.  You want to play split screen with both players having their own screen?  Done.  You want to use old fashioned Xbox controls?  It supports that.  You want to use gimmicky Wii Remote pointer controls?  It does that, too!  You want to touch me in my secret area?  Send me a PM.  You want to quickly customize your weapons layout?  Nothing is faster than the touch screen.  What I'm saying is that the Wii U lets you customize your experience more than ever before!

Bahahahaha

I've watched plenty of porn on my WiiU. You're doing it wrong.

The problem is that far too many porn sites are flash as opposed to HTML5... I personally look forward to the death of flash.

I agree, this is an awesome console, my only bitch thus far is that I can't get a download version of BLOPS2... I have decided to buy as little optical media as possible this gen. Why bother when adding a 1.5 TB drive is about $100 bucks.

Screw looking for games in stores... it is cold outside (-30 with windchill)


Almost every one has a "m." mobile site. Just add that to the url and you'll be fine as it will swtich to a nonflash version.

But CoD BLOPS II performs better on the 360....Not really a reason to go out and buy a brand new console when the older, cheaper one runs it better. 

 

But see that's just it. It realistically doesn't run "better" on any console. They are all about the same to anyone actually playing the games. They're identical.

Except... on WiiU you can play on gamepad only (easily most comfortable way to play), with "standard" controller, or with wiimote/nunchuk.
On WiiU you can play local multiplayer without splitscreen.

Sorry, but WiiU is the superior choice overall.

The only thing any gamer would notice is the average lower player count for multiplayer. But that doesn't mean there are no great online matchs to play. Just not as many at 3 in morning.

I tried porn hub. Did not work. xhamster did though.

Try adding a "m." to the front of any porn page you want. It will force the mobile view and thus HTML5. Plus it wont' be long before flash is gone anyways.

Too bad all the internet features don't work very well for me due to the weak wifi transmitter in the WiiU. It will start loading an internet page, pause, load a bit more, then time out before completing.
My laptop in the same room, ps3 in the same av stand both load it in a flash. Oh well the games work.

I thought this thread had died. Glad you guys enjoyed it and I didn't think anybody would find that "secret area" comment!

I can't believe you couldn't figure out porn on it. Man... I had that working on the first night.
