OnLive: The Future of Video Games

Unfortunately when it was announced a couple days ago I was a tad bit too late on the domain game, though I snatched onlivegaming.org and .info

I was gonna pick something up... and then realized i had no time to develop it anyways.

Here... these were all available the last I checked some time yesterday. I would register them myself, but as he just said, too many projects on the go.

Quite possibly, yes.

If I were a betting man then my money would be on this being an april fools joke. 1ms lag my ass. Anyone played a first person shooter lately? What type of pings are you getting? Maybe 10ms if you are lucky?

So for example you press left on the controller that's at least 20ms (back and forth) until the character actually moves left.

It is a joke.

this will fail just like that gamers network that promised a high speed nation wide network just for gamers.

They quickly realized the nation's infrastructure still isn't ready for it and that the network nerd who pitched the idea to them telling them it could should be shot.

Shit, games are perfectly playable up into the 150-200ms lag range. Someone has misquoted someone somewhere if they are claiming 1ms. It's certainly no April fool's joke. Plenty of media have now tried the system and have reported on it.
