I mix it up. I cant stand using the gamepad with the sound on while playing black ops 2 though its like too echoy. It sounds right but they both play at the same time during the cutscenes that is. I have a 52 inch tv so when i go from t.v. to gamepad it makes a huge difference and when playing games like Mario its harder to judge distance on the smaller screen.

Sounds like you're boasting. And the gamepad is for other rooms.

Use the Tv when I can, but the wife wants to watch 'programmes', so usually end up on the gamepad.

I don't think he's boasting at all. I have an HD TV all be it only a 32" as well as a surround sound amp and speakers which is far better the playing the games on the Gamepad display. The TV is also my own so no one else ever uses it so I don't need to worry about that. Personally I rather play using my TV then the piddly little Gamepad display. The only time I use the Gamepad display is when its in conjunction with the TV and as a secondary display for things like maps and stats.

probably because your monitor has less latency than a tv since normally monitor are better with that sort of thing.

I know he's not boasting. It sounded like he could be.
