I just had my first chance to play with Onlive.com. If you’re not familiar with it, Onlive.com is an online video game streaming company. Essentially, you install a small “player” on your computer that allows you to run video games that are actually hosted on another computer somewhere else in the world. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill Facebook games – things like Farmville or Solitaire. We’re talking about real console/PC games like Just Cause 2, F.E.A.R 2, Red Faction, many more.

The cool thing about this system is that it doesn’t really matter what kind of computer you have — the heavy lifting of displaying high end graphics is done by their computer(s). I ran Just Cause 2, for example, on my 2.5 year old MacBook Pro and it was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. The software is never installed on your computer — you are simply streaming the game over the internet.

If you like playing PC or Console video games you should really check out Onlive.com. They are giving away 1 year memberships (essentially a beta program) right now so you can see how the system works. I’d highly recommend taking a look — this could very well be the future of gaming!

I found this Halloween Pez dispenser display at a Cub Foods store in Maple Grove. There’s something not right with a Halloween display of ANY kind in the middle of August. My children haven’t even gone into full mourning mode yet with the impending school year approaching.

Is this a ploy, perhaps, so that when we are doing our back to school shopping we can offer little Jimmy or little Suzy a Frankenstein Pez dispenser in exchange for their wrapt attention when picking out folders and pencils?
