Now now, he's a liberal arts professor. Don't be bringing in all those mathematical symbols.

more warm up thoughts:

-NSMBWU/LU is not a good set of pack in games. Feeling pretty bleh about the game so far after a half dozen levels or so. I'm debating selling the physical dual pack and just using my free download code to grab it with MK8 instead. Anyone interested?

-Also, I can't use my Wii Classic Controller Pro in NSMBWU as far as I can tell (and I have tried). I don't like playing with the giant gamepad, especially since it just reproduces what is on the screen (needlessly at that). I don't like playing with the Wiimote since I need to use more than 2 buttons and a D-pad. Guess I need the Wii U Pro controller.

-The Wii U screen battery started blinking after just a short while while playing games because for some reason it had to be on to do all the Wii transfer stuff, even though I didn't need to look at it. The battery life on this is bad, but it seems their decisions about when it is displaying content make it infinitely worse.

-At least in my house, remote play with Vita works better (and further) than remote play with Wii U, whose range is very limited. The PS4 and Wii U are next to one another and on the same network, but the Vita trumps easily.

-While cute, the Wii -> Wii U transfer process is awkward as hell. Also, why should it remove that stuff from my Wii instead of just copy it? WTF good is my Wii now other than as a cheap component GCN box (and homebrew/netflix/etc.)?

-WTF two power cords?! Why no USB charge?

-MK8 and Super Mario 3D better be fucking awesome, or I am gonna have buyer's remorse really, really quick

Honestly saw that coming a mile off.

You'll probably hate the other 2 games.

fuck my keyboard's alt+shift buttons.
That's "pf, useless phds" for you Latin reading folk

That would have been funnier if you actually quoted some Greek like the phrases they use in Age of Mythology

the funny thing was that all but 2 of those letters are actually used in math (is δ used too by any chance? I don't remember)

Omg geez, you did all the research about it failing. Did you not research the actual console before buying. By the way push the home button and you can turn off the screen from the controller menu.
