Why OnLive’s Phone & Tablet Announcement Turns Me On

I’m so excited about this I don’t even know where to begin!

OnLive in general has always excited me really. When I was able to play Assassin’s Creed II on my big screen TV through the little Nettop that I had attached to it for media purposes with very intermittent lag (which was never in game play) I was kind of hooked. At the time the game selection was down so that was a bit of a bummer and I already have a 360 and gaming rig so I kind of left OnLive on the shelf. I did get excited again when they announced their TV accessory that was roughly $99 but again, there was no reason for it; the lack of game availability, pricing model and the fact that I already had ample and sufficient gaming equipment.

In the back of my mind though I had always wanted OnLive to succeed and when they announced the pending $9.99 monthly subscription for unlimited game play I became excited all over again. For $9.99 I could test out countless new games before buying them and then if I didn’t feel the game was worth purchasing outright I could just play it through OnLive. Unfortunately by the time the $9.99 plan was announced I had once again put it on the shelf.

Then today, like the several times before, OnLive grabbed me by the belt buckle and yanked me towards it before undressing me and doing things to me that would require a NC 17 rating on this post. I enjoyed it thoroughly as did my light saber…. GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER! At least while mine is in there with you anyway. Unless you are a hot chick then come on in. Ahem, back to OnLive and it’s legal services.

OnLive now runs on Android Tablets and Phones with iOS devices coming soon! In addition to touch screen support there is a universal controller coming out that allows you to control OnLive on any device. This is an amazing announcement for many reasons:
