    Default Yay, new toys!

    So the woman went to a cool dinner party last night and they gave out gifts. So now I got me a Chromecast, as well as a Wireless Mobile Projector which will play things up to 80"!!

    So who has either one of these? I assume someone has to have a Chromecast, and how good is it?

    Nice!

    You need Chromecast if you want to subscribe to HBO legitimately so you can stream GOT.

    Let me know how you like that, I'm thinking I'm going to get one of those. I can't continue on as a lawless pirate... can I?

    I've got a Chromecast. Don't really use it much but I did cast some college bowl games to the TV. The picture is going to be as good as the signal to your computer.

    Send me the projector. I'll test it out for you.

    I've had the patch over my eye since episode #1!! I don't have HBO.

    That's what I want to test, the projector! Would be awesome if I can figure out how to play regular movies with this. It appears it's only mobile stuff though, but I'll figure out a way!

    Damn, I just looked up the projector and it sells for anywhere from $250-350. I hope it's quality! Gonna try it out in a few minutes and see if I can get it going.

    If it can reach the internet, my cell phone, accepts USB, plug into computer, SD card... all kinds of ways to find porn.

    I haven't even touched the chromecast thing yet. The projector was kicking my ass but finally got it to work. And even better, not even mobile, got it connected as a dual monitor for my computer! And I just turn the device a tad and it's on the wall at about 50" or so. I ran a few movies to test it and it's awesome! Much better clarity than I thought it would have. Will have to test better tonight when no sunlight can get in the room.

    I need to head to the store for a small tripod. Also a better HDMI cable as the one they give you with this is like 1 foot long.
