I play PC 95% of the time I spend gaming. And 100% of that time is spent in front of a 50 inch LED TV. Big screen mode man, big screen mode. I still use a keyboard and mouse though, the only good gaming controller

The problem with that though is tv's only go up to 1080p (unless you're have a 4K tv which I seriously doubt).  One of the advantages to playing games on a PC is higher resolution and higher frame rates.  You're sacrificing one of those benefits by playing PC games on a TV.  

Birthday coming up. Was wondering if I should go with and iPhone 5 or the WiiU?

Thanks

Ok, this one is super SUPER simple if you are seriously torn between getting a iPhone 5 and a Wii U.  

iPhone 5 is a device that can be used anywhere and will have an internet connection anywhere for VERY many different uses.  I personally don't like mobile gaming so I wouldn't buy a iPhone 5 just for gaming but it obviously does have touch games.  

A Wii U is just a gaming console that can only be used at home.  You can't text your friends with it, you can't make phone calls with it.  You can't navigate somewhere with it.  A Wii U won't keep you notified of new emails, tweets, Facebook posts etc.
