Can't you imagine tuning into an episode of Breaking Bad on your TV while you scroll through tweeted reactions on the GamePad that's sitting on your lap? Or watching the Super Bowl while commenting on the GamePad with your friends?

Since the Wii U will know what you're watching, that second screen could help supplement the experience in ways that a laptop or tablet can't. (And although Microsoft has promised similar things with SmartGlass, we haven't seen anything like this just yet.)

No. I like playing awesome video games. :)
