I love Chromebook Perks, but I can usually not claim them due to the fact that they're promotional efforts by companies in collaboration with Google to get sign-ups for their services. Despite this, I like to cover them so that anyone who has yet to try out the paid version of a creative app or … [Read more...] about Get 3 free months of Amazon Luna+ and Nvidia GeForce NOW with these new Chromebook Perks

Nvidia GeForce NOW begins letting Chrome users stream games in 1600p at 120fps
Until now, you could only stream Nvidia GeForce NOW games via Chrome in 1080p. For any fan of cloud gaming, this has been a potential drawback. Services like Stadia streamed in 4k resolution, but now that that's pretty much dead, it would seem the competition has decided to step up its game - … [Read more...] about Nvidia GeForce NOW begins letting Chrome users stream games in 1600p at 120fps

Google has some fantastic game developers in-house whose talent is sadly going to waste
I'm probably in the minority when I say that I quite enjoy most of what Google puts up on its Arts & Culture app. Experiences that help me to understand and relive history are of particular interest to me, and I'm glad the tech giant is doing its part to preserve history and bring it to life for … [Read more...] about Google has some fantastic game developers in-house whose talent is sadly going to waste

After 12 years, YouTube’s 4K streaming option may soon be locked behind a Premium paywall
Google can do whatever it wants with its products and services - I know that there's really no stopping it or changing its mind when it's made it up. We see this most evidently in the death of Stadia, and no matter what the end user thinks or feels, money speaks. What really bothers me though is … [Read more...] about After 12 years, YouTube’s 4K streaming option may soon be locked behind a Premium paywall
YouTube TV may finally be worth trying out again thanks to new “standalone” pricing
In my opinion, YouTube TV took a nosedive when it started losing a bunch of networks to content provider negotiations going south. On top of that, the base pricing of $64.99 USD was untenable for me and many others. Sure, it may be a great deal for those seeking cable replacements, but in the world … [Read more...] about YouTube TV may finally be worth trying out again thanks to new “standalone” pricing

[Opinion] Here’s why I’m not worried if Amazon Luna snatched up Assassin’s Creed Mirage exclusivity
Update: I've changed that title of the article to better reflect that this was an opinion piece. Amazon Luna does not have exclusive rights to Assassin's Creed Mirage, and there is no update on this situation yet. I've also changed "that" to "if" in the title to reflect the fact that this has not … [Read more...] about [Opinion] Here’s why I’m not worried if Amazon Luna snatched up Assassin’s Creed Mirage exclusivity

Google Search Knowledge Graph is testing an awesome Material Design makeover
While watching the Ubisoft Forward event which took place yesterday (yes, Stadia was taken off of the Assassin's Creed Mirage blog post for some reason), I saw an advertisement for something called Mythic Quest.

First look: ChromeOS 105 ‘control overlay’ lets you play Android games with your keyboard
Octopus is an Android app that lets you tie physical input devices like gamepad face buttons, and triggers, keyboard keys, and mouse clicks to tap or swipe hotspots on your touchscreen.
