It looks very similar to the Wii U gamepad IMHO, with the exception of the inverted right control stick and button grid position.

Especially since each player could use half of the controller thingy.

Don't forget Mario Galaxies 1 and 2 (2 in particular is an unbelievably excellent entry in that series).

Since they added the "Ninteno Account" with Wii U, your eShop purchases are just associated with the account and not the particular console.

It's notable that the video never shows playing on the small screen and the TV simultaneously. If you can't, that would pretty much eliminate the possibility of Wii U backwards compatibility, as well as the ability to play Virtual Console DS games that are currently available via the eShop. It doesn't appear to have…

Or that he namechecked a lot of things that The AV Club's audience traditionally loves (Kids in the Hall, SCTV, classic Looney Tunes, etc) so nobody's super mad about the stuff he said? I don't think AV Club's commentariat are pretentious blowhards on the level of, say, McSweeney's, or The New Yorker's Humor section…

It's an "event"!

I'd say Theologians by Wilco does it for me pretty much every time. It starts out lightly enough with a catchy little piano vamp, but by the time it rolls around to the album's titular lyric it starts giving me chills every time. It lulls you into a false sense of security and then sneaks up on you with some heavy…

Yeah it prompted you to do that in the early days. That was back when you couldn't write on each other's walls either, and poking was really the only way to interact.

What has Office Space got to do with sales? The Orlando Jones magazine subscription guy? As far as I recall, Peter's job is as a software engineer doing Y2K bugfixes.

It's still "in Africa" geographically, so I don't think that counts as an actual anachronism. I guess it wasn't technically a country at the time. Though that could be easily explained as the character not caring enough to know the difference.

I hope they change it to The Goddamn Batman for the unrated director's cut.

Call it The Fakeblock, it's cleaner.

Yeah, he also pops up in a bunch of Elmo kid's books, but I've never seen him on "Sesame Street" proper.

I was always jealous of the relationship Smalls has with his mom in The Sandlot. She commands him to get into trouble for Pete's sake! Plus, she's played by Karen Allen, so you can't really do better than that.

Great, but I don't think you can make a convincing argument that Luke is a better character in A New Hope than Rey is in The Force Awakens if part of that argument is reading something on a website that was written thirty years after the movie was made, the fact that it's considered canon doesn't really change your…

If you allow explanations that aren't from the movie, then you can just tell yourself that there was a point where Rey did extensive training in all the things she does in the movie that they didn't show, so that shouldn't bother you either!

That is never established within the movie. A T-16 could very well be his land speeder or a piece of his uncle's farming equipment as far you can tell as a viewer of the movie.

It seems a little overly forgiving to translate that to "pilot training." I shot a groundhog with a 22 on my grandmother's farm. I am not a trained aircraft pilot.
