My Wii U is probably broken

I bought a Wii U at launch (nearly lost it when GameStop screwed up my order, too). Unfortunately, I keep seeing issues with these first batches of machines. Now mine keeps screwing up when trying to play Call of Duty.

I've said it before and I'll say it again in light of some really depressing sales figures: the Wii U is the last or second-to-last console Nintendo will probably make unless they wake up and realize where things are going.

LEGO's upcoming Iron Man 3 sets look great

Befitting of the ethos of Tony Stark, this "Malibu Mansion Attack" set looks awesome, offers a host of great pieces and should retail for less than $50. Awesome!

DIY Forts!

This reminds me of Omagles, which my kids STILL love (and we kept around since the 90s, sigh). Fort Magic is really just a series of struts and connectors which allow you to build superstructures that you can wrap with cloth for basically any type of fort you can imagine. So awesome, and my idea of a perfect toy, one which encourages creativity and active play!
