The promise of cloud gaming excites me. In this video I offer my initial thoughts on Amazon Luna. I focus mostly on the quality of the streaming experience and how well Luna handles input lag. So this video isn’t going to be a full review of the Luna platform. I’ll have a video for that […]

The demo of the new Zelda game, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, was just released on the Nintendo Switch eShop. I jumped in to play the video game not expecting much.

To vote with your wallet simply means to buy products from companies that align with your personal ethics or needs while not buying products from those companies that don’t. It’s easier said than done, for sure. Not everyone has the luxury of choice when it comes to some essential products. If you don’t make enough […]

People who hate Stadia used to bother me. I like Stadia. But I also like Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo and any other company that wants to contribute to this wonderful world of video games that I love so much. My annoyance wasn’t so much due to an affinity for Stadia specifically. I was annoyed because this […]

I just found out that Cyberpunk 2077 will release on Google Stadia on the same day as it will release on consoles and PC. So of course I pre-ordered it! Wait, why did I do that. That actually seems kinda dumb. Look, Cyberpunk 2077 looks like it will be amazing. I don’t question my excitement […]
