Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The Microsoft Xbox Stadia”.
So there’s been a lot of news lately about you, know the new gaming service from Google. Google stadia. You just have your controller, your smartphone, your tablet, your laptop. You can play games anywhere.
Of course, that’s not a real product yet, and many of you doubt that it will ever be a reality. The way that Google was showing it off. So I decided to make my very own version of gaming anywhere, but with the more traditional approach of using an Xbox.
So this guy right here, the games G 170 Sentinel. This is a like suitcase looking package that lets you jam in an Xbox and you get a monitor and it all folds up almost like a console in a laptop. So I’m calling this creation the Xbox stadia, the Google stadia killer. You know you can just plug it in and start going, no matter where you are in the world, even if you’re camping, you don’t have power when you’re camping, maybe you like to camp with power. Look at that Wow 350 bucks. So it’s I mean it’s a few dollars, but keep in mind. You’Ve got the display built in so you’re getting a display, you’re getting a speaker setup. It’S all designed around this idea, just flip it open and play, and this whether you like, playstation or xbox, you can pick okay. This is uh.
What are you putting a bag controllers and stuff? It’S factory-fresh right there? Oh okay, a remote control. They give you a short HDMI, cable with a right angle, connector, so that should be convenient. It’S nice that they included that a power brick. Obviously whoo. Here we go. It really is like a suitcase or a briefcase. Oh here we go we’re getting a big peel here. Are you ready it’s a big peel coming up, who Willie do you’re a big fan. I hate a big peal like that.
The orange peel once again factory-fresh all right, yeah up like this whoo. So once again, this 1080p, it’s an LED panel. It’S got a matte finish on it, it’s not glossy, so that should be good for reflections. Also, a lot of controls here on the front power switch volume, up/down brightness, and I like that they have those without going into the menu system cuz. That can be a bit of a nightmare for the frequently used buttons. So you could just reach up and you got them straight away.
Power goes into this port right here you can see the speaker units right, underneath the display two headphone outputs, very convenient and then, of course, the HDMI in that I mentioned this whole region over here is like a neoprene, wetsuit kind of material and it’s padded. It’S got like a memory foam underneath so hopefully it’s gon na treat your console very nice and protected and comfy and whatnot. This will do an Xbox. This will do a Playstation and these straps hold it in place. Okay, so here’s that both this is an Xbox. Obviously, so all we’re gon na do is slide in a slack through here.
Actually, this one fits really good. Get the straps going tightened up too simple doesn’t move around too much now you might be thinking like. Who is this for? Why aren’t you just gon na get a? I don’t know a gaming laptop or something? I think the idea here is a bit more social, like maybe you show up got a couple controllers, maybe you’re into sports games or something you can have a little versus mode, and maybe you already have an Xbox to begin with. But again, this isn’t the kind of thing you’re gon na bring with you every day, you’re gon na bring this to class in college. Could you you just pretend it’s a laptop? You know where they take notes in the auditorium. Is it just you just flip this open? I don’t know if you could get away with that these days.
I’M not sure, I’m not advising you do it. I’M just anyhow. Let’S see how we close it down. That’S what it’s like! Okay, it’s it’s smaller than I expected it to be. When you see it unfolded, it seems huge, but like this, you can get away with that. You show up you pop it down.
You flip the switch. Look at you. We’Re gon na hit the what the right angle one over here. You think like that, that’s a nice setup! This guy goes right over here, so you’re gon na have two power cables coming out of this. Keep that in mind you do have some cabling showing and of course, if you have headphones that will be showing as well, but it’s not terrible. So it’s a pretty smooth Center. Nonetheless, okay, oh all, right, we’re 100 sound just for a quick test hundred brightness. Now keep in mind very brightly lit environment.
We’Re in so that’s gon na affect the appearance of brightness. On this display as well. Man haven’t played a Capcom game in a while, oh by the way, we’re playing Resident Evil 2. This is uh.
This is Welles recommendation. What does it say? Saving requires an ink ribbon, no autosave stronger enemies, normal gameplay, assisted it has a missed, recover health automatically. That’S rude! There’S no way, I’m doing that. There’S no way, I’m doing that. I’M definitely doing standard come on man, Will’s, hitting the lights to spook me out over there wow. This looks pretty good. Oh it’s a nice man. This is spooky stay back, sir.
I got you straight shoot keys. Is that doing anything wasting my bullets right now? Wow. He took a lot of bullets. I think I only got one bullet left now.
Now I’m dead yeah I’m gone. Oh yeah! Oh, I got another boy for that purpose. I discovered another bullet I’ll.
Take I’ll. Take the cutscene right now. Let me out of here. That’S the thing: I’m always wondering what this all-new situation, the amount of time between you getting bit and you going zombie, it’s always up for dispute. Sometimes it’s like instant other times.
It takes an hour like that dudes gon na emerge from the truck he’s, obviously zombie mode, maybe not at that explosion. You know you wan na know something I kind of like this thing. It’S kind, it’s a it’s cool. It’S not the brightest screen.
I’Ve ever seen up, but I do like that it has the matte finish and 1080p at this size at 17. Inches is plenty of pixels, so you don’t really need anything more than that. I surprisingly ended up immersed. I wish the speakers were a bit louder, but that said, you have to do a headphone jack, so you can use those and really you’re talking about a package. That’S just unique in and of itself like if this is what you want to do. I understand the potential criticisms. Obviously it is a bizarre device, it’s but that’s kind of that’s kind of why I like it cuz it’s a bit unusual. As far as like the different gadgets that you see out there, you know you hear about like athletes, for example, that go on road trips. They want to bring their video games in the hotel room. Things like this. You could take it to a party load up. Madden NBA NHL have a couple controllers and you just you, have some instant fun all you do you unplug right, you unplug this.
You won’t plug this. You take your little cable out, it goes into the bag and then the whole thing closes up. Look at that. I mean you’re like a secret agent, console gamer.
I call it the Xbox stadia. That’S what I just named it. I coined it the package together, it’s the Xbox stadia, obviously I’m just joking with that. It’S not the same thing at all, but nonetheless, if you ever wanted to have a portable Xbox, this has got to be the best way to do it. .
