Coder by day, gamer and film fan by night. Websites are one of many things I do. A big fan of classic/retro gaming especially of Atari systems. I can also cook. ;)
Out of curiosity, I decided to experiment with Steam’s game streaming feature which allows one PC to transmit sound and video across to another PC in your local network. In this particular case it opens the possibility of using a Surface Pro to play games that it previously […]
The recent announcement of Microsoft buying Mojang, the developers of gaming phenomenon Minecraft has resulted in responses ranging from excitement to disbelief to outright hostility.
