Everybody needs a hobby. Mine is pretending to be somebody or something else.
I’ve written several articles about my recent foray into laptop gaming. I purchased an ASUS TUF gaming laptop, Logitech Keyboard and Mouse, and Logitech Headphones to use with my big screen in the living room. Everything has been working well until a week or so ago. I noticed that when my laptop was connected to […]
Until now, wirelessly streaming games to the Oculus Quest 2 has been limited to using development drivers in combination with specialized software like Virtual Desktop. I’ve written step by step guide to getting that option working here. Now, Facebook has enabled Oculus Air Link which allows streaming of Oculus Store apps too. It was a […]
I jumped on the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate bandwagon at the very beginning. The service started out strong and has only gotten stronger. When they added game streaming to Android devices I knew that I had picked a winner. I had just started playing The Outer Worlds on my Xbox and the ability to play […]
Recently, I purchased a gaming laptop with the intention of connecting it to my home theatre and answering the Call of Duty from my recliner. The laptop did exactly what I wanted, but it didn’t take long to learn I had overlooked something. I planned on running an extra Bluetooth keyboard and mouse that I […]
I’ve have owned so many laptops that I’ve literally lost count. Some of those systems, like my Surface Book, are capable of playing games. However, none of them are, or were, dedicated game machines. I’ve helped my friends and family pick out their portable game machines and have spent plenty of hours playing on them. […]
Many times when a new release is a mashup of other titles the results are abysmal. The ideas they borrow from more popular games are not implemented well and don’t form a cohesive experience.

The Virtual Desktop method of streaming full PC Steam VR games to your Oculus over Wi-Fi works very well. It is difficult to setup and many of the on-line guides I have encountered are missing steps and key information. I’ve written this one based on my experience in getting this to work for several people.
As of firmware version 23, the Oculus Quest 2 supports 90 FPS both in Quest games and desktop VR games via the Oculus Link cable. This is a major upgrade for Quest 2 owners and for those thinking of jumping in the VR pool. In my opinion, the new option raises the Quest 2 to […]
Ever since I first put on my Oculus Quest and jumped into a VR game, I’ve wished that I could pair my noise cancelling earbuds with it. The sound system built into Facebook’s virtual reality goggles sounds pretty good, but it isn’t quite loud enough to fully overcome the amount of ambient noise that it […]
I have quite the man cave chiseled out of my basement. There’s office space, a gym, and a nice place to sit and play games or watch the TV. I’ve always wanted a classic arcade cabinet like Pac-Man, but there’s literally nowhere to put one. One late night while flipping channels, something on HSN caught […]
