I'm a online! beta tester (maybe)

[unozero]

Thank you for registering for the OnLive® Beta program! We’re continuing to increase the number of new participants in the program, and we'd like to consider you for one of these slots.

At this time, we’re requesting feedback from U.S. residents over 18 with PC’s running Windows (Vista, XP or Windows 7), and using the Firefox browser (if you don’t have Firefox, you can get it here). If you meet these criteria, we’ll need to run about a 3-minute performance test on your computer to see whether you are a fit for the current stage of OnLive Beta. If not, you may be a fit later on, and if so, we’ll certainly let you know.

What We'd Like You to Do

* Step 1 | Save this email. You'll need it later for reference.
* Step 2 | Run the OnLive Performance Test BETWEEN 4PM AND 9PM PDT WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK. Please run the test on a few different days so we understand how your Internet connection changes throughout the week.
* Step 3 | Pat yourself on the back for helping us out!

Wow, I didn't expect OnLive to get anywhere! Really hyped for this now.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

For a second I thought you got into the beta for the sequel to the internet. There is going to be a sequel to this thing, right?

You mean you didn't get your invite

 

[Gargantou]

Will be interesting to see how this turns out, even though it won't be my cup of tea(I'm into the concept of owning my stuff, not renting'em)

 

[bam23]

I have no hopes for this program.

 

[MorganFreeman911]

Oh god, THIS program? Have fun, I guess.

 

[Warped]

do you think the asian market will adapt to this program??, also i imagine hackers using this program to play games for free off of someone else's screen

 

[Acepilotf14]

Okay, I have a question.

I have heard that OnLive uses the power of TACHYONS.

Is this true?

 

[Gargantou]

I read that as TACOS for some reason.

I'm not, can you imagine the amount of extra shit will have to be transport across the networks, it will clog up the system

 

[unozero]

Congratulations, you've been selected to participate in the OnLive Beta Program!

They are very interested in your connection speed which means the average connection probably can't handle it.

 

[Ennui]

I don't see why people are so excited about this. It's either not going to work due to lag or it's going to look like ass (compressed, think the gaming equivalent of a Youtube video). Maybe for someone who has FIOS or a T1 line or something but I just can't see this being worth it at all.

 

[unozero]

it work does work ennui but yeah I do have Fios

 

[Adabiviak]

This is the 'cloud' gaming system, where the game content and whatnot resides on a server somewhere else? I dunno... let us know how it goes (or are you just going to be emailing them connection statistics)?

 

[unozero]

I'm already playing....

 

[Adabiviak]

So spill it. Is it working pretty well? Screenshots? What is your average up/down speed anyway?

 

[unozero]

20down 5up


sofar I'm just getting adui distortion once in a while response time is good though.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Did they install some sort of TACHYON converter in your home?

 

[TwwIX]

Got the email too a couple of weeks ago. I was too lazy to bother with it.

How far from their closest 'cluster' do you live?

Did you take a break from 4chan to post that? :cheese:
