OnLive

[strongbad]

It has potential. If I can truely play decent games on my shitty computer, I will be happy.

[Hiro]

Um, It's streaming the games, not downloads. That's the spirit david! Seriously guys, can't you just say "that's a neat concept, i hope it works out" or something along those lines? Like david, he's got the right mindset.

AND HEY TYLER, YOU CAN BUY THE LITTLE BOX THING IF YOU HATE PC GAMING SO MUCH

AND HEY TYLER, YOU CAN BUY THE LITTLE BOX THING IF YOU HATE PC GAMING SO MUCH

Why would I waste my money on it?

[Hiro]

Why would I waste my money on it?

Why would you waste your money on a DSi 

[Classic]

Why would you waste your money on a DSi 

Because it has games I'll play. 

[Hiro]

Because it has games I'll play. 

Okay, but you already had a DS Lite, they play the same games, and I doubt DSiWare will be very great. 

But anyways why couldn't you just say "I'm not really into PC games" in the first place?

[Skylark]

I think it's sort of ironic that Hiro is telling people to keep a positive mindset and hope this works and everything and then attacks the DSi

HEY! BE POSITIVE


I don't think I get the concept anyways...

It's stupid and won't work, so don't worry about it.

I wasn't attacking the DSi, I was just showing him that it's not a waste of money.

But I'm not trying to make everyone like it, I'm just telling them not to be so critical of the damn thing.

The concept is that you can play PC games on multiple computers or your TV without installing them, and even a crappy computer can play really high-quality games.

[Hiro]

Cool, you know so much better than everyone else.

[Zach]

Cool, you know so much better than everyone else.

No more than how you think you know better than those of us who don't want it.

[Hiro]

I'm fine if you don't want to buy it, but you don't have to be a jackass about it, that's all.
I didn't say it was the most amazing thing either, I just I said I hope it works out and if it does, it should be pretty cool.

[Hiro]

I also think this would work well for people with Macs who want to play PC games without installing windows.

I wasn't trying to be a jackass, so I apologize if I came across that way.

I just don't like what it means for the industry. I know it is inevitable that one day we'll have a download-only, one-console kind of approach to gaming. Even OnLive isn't trying to replace traditional gaming, it is the next step up the ladder to getting rid of consoles and streaming everything over your PC.
