This is why TRS80 Gaming is into casual games and keeping casual gaming hours. There’s a world and life outside of video games, and addiction is no joke.
Google Stadia is a streaming videogame service. It’s not the same as streaming videos from videogames. Stadia is a way to stream videogames over the Internet from the cloud and play on any screen.
This means you can buy a game such as Destiny 2 (yes it’s on the initial games list), stream the game to your TV and play with the Stadia controller!

This is incredible, someone has used the tools provided by the game Mario Maker to create their very own first-person adventure game!
Instead of creating just a simple level, they took it to another level and created 3d Maze House.

What was a really fun game, Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled, is now having microtransactions added to it after it’s been out for a few months. I’ve played it and it’s a fun game, really fun in the old school racing game style. You can pick it up and play for a few minutes or a few hours, depending on how you feel.

There are community created LTMs (Limited Time Modes) available for Fortnite Creative. They are Beach Assault and Prop Hunt. For those who haven’t tried it, Fortnite Creative is the toolkit that you can use for creating your own map that includes whatever you want.

We’re aiming to provide more frequent updates and a membership forum at some point. We are also thinking of having more contests and giving away t-shirts and games in the future.
Here is a list of the best headphones for gaming. Please note that a few of the selections are based on other people’s reviews and a few of them I have personally owned (I will indicate which ones).
While it’s nice to play video games on a TV with a nice 5.1 or 7.1 surround system and hear the shouts and roars of gunfire and cool orchestral music of Destiny 2 and other games, it’s not always possible. This is especially true for mobile/tablet games where the sound quality can be a bit tinny or can annoy people around you.
So here’s a list of the best headsets for gaming.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.6 ounces | Yes | 3.7 out of 5 | Under $100 | |
| Bose QuietComfort 35 II | 0.52 lbs | Yes | 4.4 out of 5 | $300 to $400 |
| Turtle Beach Stealth 600 | 1.3 lbs | No | 3.9 out of 5 | $100 to $200 |
