Although it seems like it would be fun to be the most famous plumber in the world, being Mario has its ups and downs. This “video webcomic,” is surprisingly touching, and was well worth my 90 seconds. (via brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com) View Media ›

The Wii U boasts a tablet with a 6.2 inch touch screen that can act as a second screen in addition to your television.
