You can get one working with Bluetooth if you're lucky (I think it needs a specific Bluetooth stack installed). More here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=975197
I use the Mayflash adapter which is easier to set up: http://www.mayflash.com/Products/NINTENDOWiiU/W009.html
The controller itself is great but the triggers aren't analog, so it's not ideal/usable for racing games and such.
The Wii U Pro Controller works with the 360 PC dongle?

hah, Vinny immediately brings up that infamous UPF episode
Sorry, I meant i just use my 360 controller because it has native support and you generally don't have to fiddle around with anything except plugging and playing (and keeping your batteries recharged)
Same, never considered it would have PC functionality
Ah, damn, got my hopes up there for a moment!

It feels like Broforce has been in early access for years, hopefully the full release is sometime this year.

it has, but to their credit they are constantly adding things. it's turning into a pretty big game. they recently just added 12-15 stages or so, which also introduce a bunch of new enemy types (aliens!) that mix things up. they're doing a really good job with it.
I'm not great at speedrunning it, but even going as fast as I can it can take me up to about 45 minutes. mostly depending on how dickish some bosses are being. super fun game.

Mayflash adapter, as already said. It's just plug and play.
Everything is tight and feels great. The triggers fit that nice balance between pressable but not mushy, and have a nice click to them when depressed all the way. The sticks feel pretty good too.
This is a problem, but thankfully most games let you button remap to the positions you're comfortable with.

Using a WiiU controller is so weird to me because i'm used to the Xbox buttons being in different places than how nintendo lays them out. I feel like i would spend so much time trying to figure out why X is doing Y stuff all of the time.
Quick Look makes this look pretty cool, but the reviews of the full game aren't very promising.

With the right analog stick being placed where it is, I can actually adapt to the Wii U layout pretty quickly. My thumb still rests on A & X when not doing anything just like with a 360 pad.
I consider this a bad thing.
Sure you can't cheat on weights day by getting an original duke controller anymore, but
I like a controller with some weight. I used to always put two VMUs in my Dreamcast controller just so it wouldn't feel so light and flimsy.
Either of the new controllers are fine and easy to use. You can probably get a feel for them in store if you want to give them a go first.

I looked at the steam page recently and it seemed like they've done a lot with it during it's time in early access and the alien stuff looked neat, I'm definitely going to pick it up on the full release.

I love that Vinny still has a grudge against cigs66 for stealing his UPF thunder.
Vinny looked so pissed during that show.

Haven't seen the QL yet, but this is clearly the truth. Lifeless Planet awakens the Giant Beast.

in retrospect though, Lifeless Planet was a shit game for UPF

He's still doing it. You're a lawyer right? Can't you send him a cease and desist or something?

The framerate is really stuttery in the Lifeless Planet QL, it's kind of distracting.

Those Danwsers questions were pretty brutal most of the time :/
Also keep getting guests since it really helps out.
LOL@ Vinny still being salty about that UPF segment

I stumbled across the one from march earlier and was wondering if we will see one this month, I guess we didn't get one during April because they had a lot of stuff going on that month.
They did not. Hope it's a case of "We recorded everything we wanted to" and not "Nobody watched that last one" because I loved it. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just not worth the editing time, but I love the occasional prepared video. It was also great to have a few minutes of distilled open-world Vinny.
edit: Speaking of open-world Vinny, I haven't watched the Witcher 3 playdate but I started playing last night. Did Vinny or Alex make mention of the terrifying adult human face trapped in a little girl's body? Performance capture nearly claimed its first victim, that face was staring at me when I tried to sleep and I wasn't sure if I would make it through the night.
IMO they could easily do it without him. The rest has not given up.
I have given up on wrestling for a while now as well. I did watch RAW from yesterday though and it was decent. Had to watch when I heard Owens was on it.
I'm sure Giancarlo leaving Gamespot don't help things either, but yeah they'd just have to do it without Jeff if they continued it now. Unless they brought him in to read Nintendo e-shop releases or something.

Alt+F1 and the Power Bombcast are the only GB features that I haven't consumed.
Daily DOTA doesn't count because it's only for bad people.

I don't think it would be beyond Jeff to check out this whole Owens thing though especially if the others (barring Dan ) think its pretty good.
Plus no Jared.
Also listening to just Dan and Alex wouldn't be my cup of tea either :/.

Alt+F1 is great, and I don't even watch the sport. Powerbombcast I listened to a couple episodes before I started watching, but have since watched every PPV.
I'm not sure, but wasn't Jared on after he got his new job? I thought he was on the show post-Nintendo. Assuming I'm not making things up, I thought he was pretty free to do what he wanted for the decidedly non-Nintendo related podcast. When he was the community guy for the WWE games he was probably under a tighter leash on that stuff.

IIRC it was before.

I am pretty sure Jared can be on the Bombcast still and it's not like they can't have other guests.

I'm not saying he's not allowed (though given that whole snafu with that former nintendo dude and his twitter stuff i'm not so sure anymore
) but he hasn't been on the powerbombcast for a while presumably because he's been working.Jeevesmeister

The problem is that wrestling is amazing right now outside of the WWE. With Lucha Underground and NJPW being hot fire there's no excuse to not be a colossal fucking mark.
If you watch wrestling, you're a mark. Even Dave Meltzerz is a mark.

Every mark is a worked gate until they get the pencil, and then its a shoot, until they work themselves into a main event worked shoot for the strap, end up giving a potato, then get a reciept, sell said reciept with a gig, and after they get some color they can kiss the brass ring and ascend to the ranks of the boys from the back to the backyard support indie pro wrestling at prowrestlingtees.com/bigLG get yourself a t-shirt.
