Yeah, I mean, winter is long in Maine, but you're picturing the Overlook hotel when even the small towns are much more like the Castle Rock series. King hasn't ever lived in honest rural areas.

This right here. It's silly that every gamer site is throwing up hands and exclaiming that Stadia is a failure because a console does it better. Forrest for the trees, etc. I also never played Destiny 2 and I spent several hours over the last couple of days with very little lag or issue. It works.

Stadia is for plenty of people. People who don’t have the means or desire to buy a console because they don’t play games 40 hours a week, but want to be able to jump into a game without waiting or overhead. The folks who settle for mobile games, but would rather try AAA games. It’s also for people like me, who is a…

Jesus, y'all are a bunch of tinfoil hat wearing doomsayers. Stadia is going to be just fine and will do exactly what Google intends it to do: push the industry forward. The founder's will get the bugs out tomorrow, the curious will jump on board with titles like Cyberpunk and the rest of the industry will realize that…

I have a PS4 pro and a switch. I'm buying because it's cheap (for me) and why not? If it works, I'll play cyberpunk on it next spring. If not, I'll have another gaming system,but one I can play in any room of my house, which my PS4 can't do and my switch can only do for an hour on a 7" screen.

If that had been done by a white dude, Bros would be giving high fives all over Twitter. 

If a corporation pays a studio and model, is it still cosplay? Doesn't seem it to me.

Great, yet another reason for my son to refuse to give me my phone back.

Hard to say without one. Since it is wonky on chrome os I'm not going to jump to try it. I will say that it seemed to work great on my pixel 2 XL, but I don't like the screen size. That's my limitation (and my old man eyes).

Oh man, I need to get that goose game. The trailer alone had me cracking up.

I mentioned this elsewhere, but I've tried remote play (which just launched on Android last week) and it only works well on a PC or my 6" phone. It's fine, but I prefer to play on a TV where possible.

I did do the Odyssey beta on a Pixelbook and it was really great. There were a couple of times where I had latency issues, but really no more than I would expect. That beta really sold me on Stadia.

The big difference for me is that I don’t have a PC. I have Chromebooks, but my only PC is for work, so aside from the switch (which I am not really a fan of), my house doesn’t have a lot of gaming portability.I have used PS4 remote play, but it for some reason doesn’t work well in chrome os and playing RDO on a 6"…

Yeah, you care to explain how streaming games will "ruin the hobby"? Or are you just here for the hyperbole?

I’ll tell you why I’m getting it. I have a PS4 Pro, a Switch and a 60" TV in my living room. One of my kids has an Xbox and 40" in his room, I also have a 50" in my bedroom. We also have 2 Pixelbook and 1 Acer Chromebook.

There have been a couple of different updates on the controller. Wireless will only work to the Chromecast ultra at launch. You'll need to connect to USB for chrome or Android playing. Word is that Bluetooth to other devices was not working quite 100%, so they are turning it on later. 

I get your point about it not being in beta, but Mike’s point is also a good one. This is a lot like an early access period.

I love Darkplace as much as the next dude, but nothing beats Nathan aka The Oggmonster.

The hottest takes always come from barely skimming the source article.

My only disagreement is that the choices you make in Odyssey don't seem to really matter, at least not like W3.
