Half-Life Running on Android Wear (Android Watch)

Post by GSZX1337 »

Tech YouTuber Dave Bennett has gotten the original Half-Life running on an LG G Watch. The experience isn't ideal for reasons other than the obvious detriments of running a First Person Shooter on a watch: The frame rate peaks at thirty frames per second and dips all the way down to 2 fps, and it tends to crash frequently.

Here's a link to the Ars Technica article: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/07/m ... content%29

And a link to the video itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnGscfbCz1g

It's not as impressive as running Doom on a printer (it's just running Half-Life inside SDLash3D), but it's just great to know that if I need my Half-Life fix, all I need is my watch. :lol:

That's probably my favorite as well. Either that or Doom on a printer.
