[VIDEO] I am Super Hyped for Fallout 76
I am quite excited for Fallout 76. I’ve never played an online, multiplayer game (I know, I know), but I LOVE the Fallout series. So, allow me these few minutes to talk about how much I’m looking forward to another Fallout game.

[VIDEO] Google’s Project Stream has Plug n’ Play PS4 Controller Support! More Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey Gameplay.
More Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey streamed via Google’s #ProjectStream Beta. After fixing my Ethernet connection, I’m able to play at 600/800Mbps and…it…is…lovely!
I also learned that #ProjectStream has plug n’ play support for PS4 DualShock Controllers. This is HUGE! Trying to get a PS4 controller to work on a Windows machine is normally a pain. But I’m using Chrome, so the OS is no longer a concern.
Project Stream is Google’s attempt to bring 4k video game streaming to everyone with a computer and a modest internet connection. In this video I let you experience the Project Stream as I experience it, playing the just-released Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, for the very first time. Could Project Stream be the future of video gaming?

I Am Super Hyped for Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption releases very soon, and I am absolutely giving in to the hype. In this video I discuss one particularly…um, interesting…game feature that could speak to the level of environmental storytelling and immersion we can expect from Red Dead Redemption 2.

30 Minutes of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey Streamed With Project Stream. It’s Great!
Project Stream is Google’s attempt to bring 4k video game streaming to everyone with a computer and a modest internet connection. In this video I let you experience the Project Stream as I experience it, playing the just-released Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, for the very first time. Could Project Stream be the future of video gaming?
Overall, I’m really impressed. My computer is old. My graphics card and processor are woefully inadequate to play Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. But I was able to stream reliably. There is some frame-skipping but not enough to be annoying.
