    Vegas and Clutchfans.

    Tuesday, January 8, 2013

    5:00 PM West Coast Time - Toyota Center, Houston, TX
    NBATV

    meetup tuesday to watch the game?

    I'm sure since it's on NBATV and it's the Lakers, they'll have it at any sports bar (obviously at the sports book )

    Book suggestions:
    • Venetian: remodeled, big, HD, nice
    • Aria: midsized, HD, nice
    • MGM: good seating, nice enough
    • LVH: really big, close to convention center
    • Cosmo: small, good location, nice property
    • Caesar's: big, good location

    Non book options:
    • Lagasse's Stadium @ Palazzo (part book, part movie theater feel, decent food)
    • EA Sports Bar @ Cosmo (looks cool, new, never been inside)
    • sports bar @ NYNY (forgot name, formerly ESPN Zone)

    I'll still be around Stack. We can catch the Texans Patriots game if you care to (fingers crossed). I think I met you once like 8 years ago when you were a bar owner or something. And I believe Kwame lives in town. Tinman might still be around too.

    Yes sir, I'm here and good recommendations on the sports books. I was at the one in the Venetian on nye for the first time since it was remodeled. I was impressed. It definitely looks like the nicest cantor gaming book out of all the ones I've seen even though they're all the same, lol. I guess maybe because it's newer, but it also seems more spacious than the others.

    @tinman: My phone didn't quite make it to 2013. I'm still phoneless and waiting on my phone to either be repaired or replaced...email me if you can.

    First Ouya, then Gamestick, now this; everybody's coming up with a brand new Android console. Vita is dead.

    CES2013, I guess 3D is old hat and 4K/UltraHD is the new hotness.

    No real point for this, when you can just use a PS3 controller with any high-end Android device and an emulator.

    These are for people who want to stream their games from their PC to their TV or onto this portable Shield. But people who are not use to playing with console control stick aren't going to buy into it. But what I want to know how does this work? For sure your PC must be on but does that mean the game must be also running in the background on the PC for you to be able to stream onto the portable Shield or does Shield itself will be able to run the game without the need of the game running on the PC?
