Man, I don’t even really keep up with wrestling anymore outside of the WWE video games, but I still enjoy when you guys talk about it.
Fun as always!
I do recommend Matt to play DmC, not going to recommend over Bioshock Infinite, because they are just too different, but Bioshock is huge and it won’t end in one sit-through plus DmC is fun from begin to end while Bioshock is overwhelming, a roller coaster of emotions that probably would require more than one sitting to fully appreciate.
Snakeoil.
I’m amazed that you managed to entertain me talking about wrestling since I don’t even know most of the wrestlers nowadays. Very entertaining… keep it up.
If the menus for the games on OnLive seemed like maybe they were from PC versions, that is because they absolutely were. The service was initially pitched at PC gamers who didn’t want to upgrade their rigs anymore but still wanted to enjoy the newest games at high resolutions on their living room HDTVs. Turns out, that kind of consumer doesn’t really exist in large enough numbers. The service streams the games from a high-end PC to the OnLive set-top box, so you’re essentially playing a PC game over the internet. While the service doesn’t seem long for this world, between the upcoming Steambox and Sony’s approach to backward compatibility support for the PS4, which will apparently stream PS3 games in a similar fashion, it’s hard not to think that maybe OnLive was maybe just a few years ahead of it’s time.
