UncategorizedBold Move, Nintendo
Here is the next big game for Nintendo’s Wii U displayed on my TV. Do you see something strange in this picture? Hint: look at that screen on the controller. It’s dark! No graphics!

Miss GTA V‘s Trevor yet? Well, the character’s voice actor, Steven Ogg, had a guest appearance last night in a new show called Broad City.
