MMOing in comfort - Grieve - 02-28-2011
This is pretty cool - an RDP iPhone/iPod touch/iPad app that lets you play PC games (for example WoW, or any MMO) or PS3/XBox 360 games while relaxing on the couch, in bed, outside, or wherever else you might want to try it. Even allows mappings of swipes on the screen to in-game actions.
Might not want to PvP on a smaller screen, but great for logging in to check your auctions, do some crafting, etc.

Maybe for people under 30.
I can't imagine a worse eye killer. Most of us lose our eye sight at 40 but playing on something like that should drop that to age 35.

I just turned 40 last month, so I'm in the "old geezer" camp with you, Maul and Dophuz myself now.
However, if you hold an iPhone two inches from your eyes, it's probably the same as looking at a 24" monitor...

Or... we can get one of those gigantic magnifying glasses.
