Hi has anyone of you already tried the steam remote streaming, for me 
this is a huge game changer. For instance I am playing Brothers a Tale 
of Two Sons in my living room on a macbook pro, while the hosting pc is 
downstairs in my working room and as long as I have enough bandwidth in 
the wifi network, it works really flawlessly. No need for a console 
anymore, this stuff is better. (If it works with the game)

It's not a solution for me. If I had a Windows PC, I could play games
on it directly. I don't have one because I don't want to support a
dedicated Windows machine. (Tried that in 2003. It was a waste of time
and money.)

Hoping that SteamOS (Linux) takes off enough that I never have to.

I tried it recently "playing" AoE3 on old notebook via WI-FI.
The only problem: you can't have separate game settings (like screen resolution).
It's inconvenient.

Otherways good idea.

In the big picture mode, streaming
advanced settings you can change the screen resolution.

In game it still renders 1920x1080. I do not need that resolution
because notebook's native is 1280x800.
