@wirestyle22 Alot of how well it works will just depend on the wiring of the house itself, my recommendation is to purchase a kit from a place that has a good return policy.
I basically said the same to him. Wireless sucks for streaming but I can't imagine this would be much better.
It's generally lower latency and far lower interference in most cases. It will generally be far more like wired ethernet than wireless unless you start putting lots of devices on the powerline network and getting collisions. For just one device, should normally work exceptionally well.

@wirestyle22 If he has a Coax running through the house, I've had real positive experience with MOCA adapters. (The will not work with satellite tv though)
Do you have a link to those? I have some coax running in my house that isn't attached to anything.

This is what I have used in the past
I think the may have newer versions out than those.
They won't work past an amplified splitter, but will work through passive ones.

Haha, nope, at that price I'll just run CAT6. Thanks for the info though I'll keep it in mind for the future.

It's good for my friend because he is renting and cannot run cabling. I passed it along to him.

I used them in a house that had no attic/crawl space and plaster walls... wifi worked horribly in it so I had to place several APs in the house and connected them back with the coax that was installed when the house was built... about my only option.

It was so innovative at the time in RTS controls, but now it is the norm. I loved how you could select all units of a given type, no matter where they were on the map, drop them into a control group, and send them on their suicidal way.

Yeah. Native support for high widescreen resolutions, innovative controls.... Wasn't there even some multi monitor mode with the map running on the second screen?

Oh, I'd forgotten about multi monitor support.

Loved Titan Quest

Seems that GTA V with the latest update has finally gotten rid of the cheaters/modders. Anyone here still playing it?
Got a bit hooked during the last weeks, and buying it on kinguin it should be quite cheap by now.Other than that I will probably always be in love with Age of Empires, particularly AOE III still has a reasonable amount of players should you care about RTS.

Still playing from time to time, I want the new Company stuff to be available in private sessions though...

An online friend of mine just posted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk6eAS2kONk a couple days ago. I've watched it a couple times now and I keep laughing about her reactions. I hope you guys like it. She plays on our server along with Rai, Shayne's son, and I. @Nic has logged in, too, though he seems to be short on time or impetus to play.

Finally got Mass Effect, the original, working on Steam. Playing that this weekend.

ran CPUID hw monitor during a 3 hour GTA session - 1080, High settings, locked to 60fps with an EVGA GTX 960 SSC. CPU temps maxed at 57 degrees C and GPU at 75 degrees C (with fans @30% power) - not bad!

Which GTA?
