    This is awesome. But I wonder why they stopped at UAC1 support when most modern devices are UAC2.
    It's like Nintendo actively strives to be backwards.

    Thankfully using splitters works with the Switch.
    I use my Xbox One as a splitter to feed my Modi Multibit.

    Os is android based iirc. It's a bitch to get that implemented iirc. Also, what splitter did you think I should use? My USB 2.0 splitter just isn't working with my switch and Modi Multibit.

    I don't have a xbone, so HDMI split won' work for me. I thought the input lag on that was atrocious?

    Finally got around to playing Divinity Original Sin 2 and damn, is it good. The opening area on the ship wasn't that impressive to me but the area that you get to after that really hit the spot. It's still early but I already feel that this game is going to compete with some of my all time favorite single player RPG's.

    I started out playing with Fane as a main, but then realized I might like him better as a companion and to have Prince as a the main instead. So far I'm digging that choice a lot, Prince can be pretty up-tight as a companion but as a main you get to shape is personality.

    I finished AM2R about a month ago (I'm late to post) and if anyone is at all a fan of 2D Metroid games this, despite not being Nintendo, is second to only Super Metriod in the series IMHO. It's really brilliant.

    I meant HDMI to TOSLINK splitters.

    The Xbone does introduce some lag but isn't as bad as you think. At least when used with a low lag PC monitor and both the Xbone and other console set to the monitor's native resolution and colour space. Less processing = less potential for additional lag.

    Nice one. My party are approaching level 10 and currently questing around Driftwood. After the initial difficulty curve (I found it pretty brutal until I hit level 4 ish) I'm really enjoying it. There's clearly a ton of content in the game and I'll admit I'm using the wiki and discussions forums quite a bit when I can't work out a quest/puzzle. One thing I've mostly neglected so far is crafting, which I really should remedy.

    If someone in your party decides to turn to the dark side and get some thievery skills, pickpocketing vendors is a good way to get a chunk of cash. Just be sure to get out of there quickly afterwards before they notice!

    I played Hollow Knight too, definitely one of my favorites of 2017. Soundtrack and graphics very fantastic. I did find some boss battles more than a little hard but I persevered and even managed to unlock the "secret" ending.

    I actually really like the difficulty. So far, it has been good clean challenge and gimmicks to up the difficulty (looks at all the NES Castlevanias).

    The music is wonderful. I find it very reminiscent of some of the music from Super Metroid: Greenpath somehow reminds me of Maridia and so on.

    For indie lovers: Hyper Light Drifter. Unique atmosphere with Souls- like gaming mechanics.

    I love the sound design on that game. Gives it a wonderful gritty/desperation feal. Just wish it was a bit less pixilated art design.

    One of my favorite games in a long time. Everything about this game worked for me. I guess they patched it at one point early on and made it easier. I thought the difficulty was just fine at launch.

    Did you guys try PSVR? Somehow I wasnt paying attention to this tech. Just bought it yesterday just for fun to spend on holidays.

    Tried Star Wars Wing mission. It's an add-on VR mission to the Battlefront. Have to say I was shocked from the experience. VR has completely changed gaming.

    Bought GT Sport and played it with the DS4 motion sensor steering. Goodness. How did I miss this?

    I'm borrowing Resident Evil 7 from a friend tonight. Not sure I'll be brave enough to play it lol.

    Amazing tech, this VR is. Try it, you must.
