Switch Joy-Con Controllers Are Compatible With PC, Mac
The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers might be specifically made for the hybrid system, but they'll work with PCs and Mac computers.
The Verge reports the Joy-Cons can pair up with PC and Mac computers, as well as Android devices, through Bluetooth functionality. On PC, you will need to use an app like JoyToKey, but apparently the small controllers sync up easily with Mac.
Now the packed-in controllers aren't the only Switch accessories that are compatible with PCs. The Switch Pro Controller also will connect to a PC via Bluetooth.
What the Inside of a Nintendo Switch Looks Like
Tearing open the box is one thing, but actually taking apart the Nintendo Switch is another.
Yet, that's what the Fictiv Blog did. Instead of playing games on Nintendo Switch, they decided to see what's under the hood, or actually the screen in this instance. Take a look at one photo below.

WWE Fastlane: The 5 Worst (and 3 Best) Moments
Barring a last minute announcement about a special WWE Network Event in the nest few weeks, Fastlane was the final PPV before WrestleMania 33 in Orlando. From the fallout now, it looks like we're officially getting Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho and a Universal title match from Goldberg and Lesnar.
Fastlane, unfortunately, was full of missteps - creative choices that don't exactly bode well for the Grandest Stage of Them All. Usually, with these day-after lookbacks, the "Best"s will outnumber the "Worst"s, but that wasn't the case this time around. A curiously noisy crowd was deadened by a mid-show lull of Hour Two RAW proportions while the Women's title picture became even muddier and muddled. Let's take a look at the 5 Worst (and 3 Best Moments) from Fastlane!

15 Things We Learned on the Set of Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman touched me!
Hey, don’t judge. I'm lucky enough to be able to say that my job has afforded me the chance to visit a fair share of movie sets over the years, and one thing I’ve learned about superhero movies in particular is that, more often than not, you don’t get to see the actors in full super-costume mode when you're there. But back in February of 2016 while on the set of Warner Bros. and the DCEU’s Wonder Woman, I got to meet Gal Gadot while she was dressed in her full Amazonian regalia. And… she touched my shoulder when she said hello! (O.K., maybe you had to be there to full appreciate it…)

Logan Director: Full Spoiler Discussion
Full spoilers follow for Logan.
As the final chapter in Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine saga, Logan is a film that puts a definitive button on the character’s journey. It also takes Wolverine, Professor Xavier, and newcomer Laura (X-23) to some very interesting places, while also establishing a scenario for the X-Men team itself that most studio franchises would balk at. As such, spoiler talk is essentially inevitable when dissecting the most compelling aspects of the film.
Which is exactly what went down when I met with Logan director James Mangold to discuss the new movie. Mangold, who also helmed 2013’s The Wolverine, is always a great filmmaker to talk to, a smart and funny guy who offers thought-provoking insight into the whys and hows of his films. Read on for our full chat.
