/I'm in Belfast right now for work lyke, I'm here till Monday. That's 4 nights in this hotel with just my phone and shit TV for entertainment. There's a cinema 5 minutes away, I might go see vin diesel 8 one night. I'm here doing an office move, I've mostly been unplugging computers and putting them into boxes. Tomorrow I'm going to the new office where I'm told those very same boxes will be and then unbox the computers.

The food here at the hotel is awful. I got up at 5am this morning, got a train, plane and then taxi to here then worked for ages on an empty stomach. Dinner was going to be epic. If I eat at the hotel every night its prepaid and doesn't cost me a penny. I ordered a burger that had bacon and onion rings in it that also came with chips. It was fucking rank, it tasted entirely of salt. The taste of salt was overpowering. I can still taste the salt. The meat was dry also. My colleague had the steak, he said it tasted like salt. I refuse to go and spend my own monies on food when it's provided here for me. Maybe the pizza tomorrow will not be 90% salt, maybe.

After dinner I accompanied my colleague 5 minutes up the road to a Tesco Express so that he could buy snacks and supplies. I've never been to Belfast before, it's the same as England from what I've seen so far. The city is full of mentalists, I've seen 2 fights today.

The hotel room is average to poor. I showered but the shower head keeps aiming towards the wall despite pulling it back into place. The choice of TV channels isn't good, there's 7 of them and none of them have films. Vaping isn't setting off the fire alarm so that's nice. My room has a sofa in it as well as a bed, fancy.

I can play just like it was a console with the native Nvidia controllers. It's like buying games on PC and getting a free console version or something else. Why the fk did I not know about this before?
Mind blown.

Is it better than the Steambawx tho' . I don't have a tellybox anyways, so it's all a bit cold and pointless, Timmy.

K so I got a sec to look that up. No comparison really. Steam Link appears to just do the basics: ~$40 for hardware that will stream your Steam games to your television at up to 1080 and 2.0 sound.

Nvidia Shield TV is an entire system. It runs on Android. It can be your local Plex media server, you can put Kodi on it straight from the Play Store, it does all the standard media streaming as well like Netflix, YouTube, HULU, HBO, (etc x 1000....think Roku), as well as games. So it has it's own game store where you can buy all the popular games or you can subscribe to something for a monthly fee that allows you to play them. Or like I just discovered you can play all the stuff already on your PC. So I've only tested three of my games so far, but those three are from different sources: GTA V (Steam), BF3 (Origin), and Fallout 4 (independent?).

But on top of all those additional capabilities, it's more powerful, does 4K, full surround capable, comes with a remote with a mic for voice activated stuff and searching.
