YouTube Gaming Live?



Amazing news that YouTube Gaming is just about to be launched. In fact by the time I edit my news  video and blog post it could already have been launched in the UK. This is going to be Major competition to Twitch with online streaming. YouTube are going the whole hog turning their YouTube Gamer site into a complete dedicated Stream and community service. 

Main points are:


  • YouTube live streaming boasting “over 25,000 game pages and even more gaming channels.”
  • Offers much more than Twitch. 60 frames per second streaming
  • HTML5 playback
  • DVR functionality
With the DVR functionality YouTube streams are going to be that much more amazing. With the ability to join a stream which has already been running for quite some time, you the viewer, will be able to go to the beginning of the stream and watch what you have missed.

I am definitely going to be streaming to YouTube and testing the service out. SO stay tuned in to posts or videos.... I will let you all know what it is like.

Unboxing Zombie Bookends



Just uploading another YouTube video of my latest little geeky piece of kit. Zombie Bookends. Sick and tired of having all my PS4 games balancing for less than 10 seconds and ending up as a pile behind my desk (certain little daughter likes to push them) I decided I needed some bookends.

I have also been playing a lot of H1Z1 as of late. So when I saw the Zombie bookends my mind was in that zone and I had to have them.

Here is all that you need to know about them

  • The bookends are made from steel although thin steel.
  • Anodized in black
  • They will need looking after as the zombies themselves bend very easily
  • They will hold your books though even although they are not very industrial or heavy steel.
  • They have a long base on each side which will prevent toppling over.
  • Very happy as they hold my PS4 games up nicely.
  • Dimensions are : H 15cms X W 14.5cms X L 8cms

Here is the video on YouTube which also is a little news update on H1Z1 as it all seemed rather relevant.




Cheers

More Technical Smoke..... PS4 faulty on delivery!




So not a great month with the failure of the center fan on my graphics R9 Tri-x 290x card. Now the Sony PlayStation that we ordered off eBay has arrived with a faulty Bluetooth module.

Sapphire Tri-x upgraded already?



So my wonderful Sapphire R9 290 TRI-X Card is no longer. It lasted one month. Okay, being a bit over-dramatic. It still worked. Basically a bearing in the center fan was faulty and it was no longer spinning true, causing a continues ticking sound and I could see that it would not last too much longer before it seized.  So Amazon being as good as they are refunded me but had no stock to replace the card.
