So I was in PlaynTrade the other day…..
So I was in a local video game shop called PlayNTrade last weekend, and to my surprise, I saw a couple pieces of true nostalgia. The had the original Sega Master System, a Sega Genesis, and even an Atari 2600. Since purchasing a used Gamecube for my kids, I decided to get rid of an old NES that I had been holding on to since last year. Cool place, PlayNTrade- much better that this other place that used to be around, and they let you try out anything in the store.
One item that really caught my eye was a portable NES handheld. What a WEIRD looking contraption. But seriously, I was actually thinking of buying it. Hard to tell if these are actually going to sell but I guess for that niche market, they rock.

No commentsVideo Game Streaming Technology
I’m not exactly sure how I ran into this, but this is a very interesting concept. StreamMyGame.com has developed a video game streaming technology that allows to stream video games from your gaming workstation over to any of you additionally connected machines on your LAN. For example, if you have a laptop that is moderately equipped with a video graphics card, or better yet a Linux machine (*YES, a LINUX machine), and you want to play Crysis on it, just as you do on your more that adequately powered Windows machine. Using this technology, this would allow you to stream video games from the one “super” machine to the “not-so-super” one.
Take a look at this video. It’s very impressive:
