OK, I’ll stop being a grouch for once and smile at something trying to be nice, and not because one of the kids in this ad is named Owen. It’s pretty sweet. It’s Microsoft’s spot for the Super Bowl this weekend, highlighting the Xbox Adaptive Controller.

Joining Owen (no relation) are Sean, Ian, Taylor, and Grover, surefire candidates for a Goonies reboot if I’ve ever seen one. They open up matter-of-factly about their physical limitations, in which they don’t have the full use of limbs and digits that other players do to manipulate the Xbox One’s twin-analog gamepad.
