Using your phone as a controller now possible with Google Stadia

Google has revealed a new feature Google has added “Phone Link” to Stadia, allowing you to play games using your smartphone as a gamepad on Android TV devices, your Chromecast, and through a web browser. Previously, Stadia required that you have a dedicated Stadia controller to play games using the service; you can use the phone link to connect a third-party gamepad. These include Xbox and PlayStation controllers that can be connected through Bluetooth, wifi, or USB via the Phone Link accessory.

To connect and utilize this is simple, the “controller” icon has to be pressed in the Stadia app, and “Phone touch gamepad” would then be connected. Tapping this will launch a new menu that confirms that you can use your phone as a virtual controller to play on any screen. To utilize this fully, one would have to use the same Wi-fi network to operate this within a local server.

Stadia’s “bridge mode” is very helpful in this instance. The game streaming platform will immediately recognize any controllers connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth or wired connection. Once connected, the controls on the screen disappear and you will have gaming access for your phone; with this, “Playing on TV” is shown on the screen.

You can use your phone as a bridge to connect unsupported controllers to your TV for playing. With Phone Link utilized, you can connect third-party controllers to your smartphone and then have those controllers work when playing on your TV.

YouTube channel 9to5Google has outlined much of its setup here:

Using your phone screen as a controller may not work for many 3D games due to the lack of tactile controls. This means it lacks the precision of an actual gamepad. But, if you don’t have enough controllers for a multiplayer experience, it is a useful tool.

Stadia’s “Phone Link” tool is available to use now.

Arabian horse winds up in a perilous position…

Red Dead Redemption 2 is known for its stellar craftsmanship, and it has set a precedent for game development in recent years. However, no game is without glitches.

Very occasionally, glitches do, in fact, occur in Red Dead Redemption 2. Due to the immaculate state of the game, these glitches stick out even more. One Red Dead Redemption 2 player has captured a perfect example of this after reaching their demise due to being run over by a horse and buggy.

The minute-long clip shows Arthur’s much-desired Arabian horse getting stuck upside down on top of a carriage, being dragged around town whilst its legs continue to kick in the air.

For whatever reason, the horses in Red Dead Redemption 2 can sometimes seem to break the laws of physics.

Do not stress. The clip ends with the horse being dislodged. Hence, no horses were harmed in the making of this video.

There is no doubt that Red Dead Redemption 2 will go down as one of the most excellently crafted games in recent history. Its level of detail is perhaps unparalleled. Due to this, situations like the one above often seem more comedic than anything else. However, if players would rather avoid such physics-defying glitches, then they should probably avoid horses together.

The Dark Lord’s Deal Of The Day

Let us all be honest with one another. Life is not complete without a mouse pad. Regardless of where you are or what you are doing, it is highly advisable to carry one round with you in case of emergencies, much like a towel. Consistency is king in the mouse world and even the smallest divot on a table top, or coffee smear can genuinely affect your life force. This fine example of mouse pad comes with an image of our favourite reaper of souls Mathael. He spent a number of hours thinking about his pose for this as he realises the importance of being immortalised for all time. This is one of many accessories and add-ons we currently have for Diablo 3. Reap the benefits; it is good for your soul!
