So I got a free 12 month subscription to Onlive...

[Snaffle J. Bean]

I'd use OnLive, but I already have a computer that can max out most games. Plus, with real games you have the advantage of 3D/surround sound if your sound card supports it. With OnLive it's all stereo, and sometimes the games aren't even maxed out.

I'm going to give it a spin, see how it works out.

No, it's like if someone were livestreaming a game, but you have control of the game. You basically play it on someone else's PC and the you receive a live video of it.

Yeah. And you can play demos instantly, since it's already downloaded on the dedicated OnLive computer you using to play.

Yes.

Think of it as the PC tower at the Onlive HQ, and your monitor, mouse, and keyboard connected to it over the internet.
