This is loving haxxxxx
what it is, youre being streamed games, so like it runs just like a game, but it runs smoothly and can be ran on anything.
Theres no downloads either. I'm playing borderlands on a stuffty computer :D
Anyways, what do you guys think?

I heard of this, I see no use of it for my activities.

I've read about this in Gueness world records 2010 Gamer's Edition.

Everything still runs on low settings
Only works if you have great internet
Even then still has input lag

[MasterBlockMan]

So it can play on extremely stuffty computers?

Lies.

Anyways, this is fairly old. I had a free subscription and tried a few demos. It's okay I suppose, but anybody with a bad connection is screwed. I couldn't really see this as my only means of playing games, I'd rather get a more powerful gaming laptop and just buy the games on steam or something.

So it can be used on/with a horribad computer?
Hey,
Can I put games I already have on it?

[Sandvich]

I have awesome connection so yay

I would rather spend money on a better computer which means graphics run through:
My input [mouse, keyboard, controller] (0 MS)-> CPU (<1 MS)-> My output [monitor, speakers] (total of <1 MS)
Rather than pay a monthly (?) fee for some company to stream it through:
My input (0 MS)-> CPU (<1 MS)-> 4-8 routing servers along the way (50-200 MS)-> Their server, processed (<1MS)-> bunch of routing servers back to my ISP (50-200 MS)-> My output (Total of making action games [my favorite] unplayable)

This is why we play Blockland and not ROBLOX.
One time payment and better quality gaming.

monthly? I looked at it and it said full payment. You pay for like a 3 day trial of the full version so you know if you want to buy the whole game.

does this mean i can play chips challenge again? :D

But you have to pay a monthly fee to have access to the Onlive service. The games cost money on top of that.

Oh... then this is stuff.

[dkamm65]

Wait, they changed it. No more monthly fee. It was fairly recently, so I didn't know.
