Staff
Here is a list of Channel 9 staff members.
Ping 235: Wireless Phone Charger, Risk for Xbox, and the Next Chapter of Office
Feb 10, 2015 at 3:11 PMI played *a lot* of Risk growing up. Usually played six-person games, often in two teams of three. One of my favorite strategies was to go for Africa first. Reasonably small to get the continent bonus, two main avenues to defend that both allowed for good expansion as well.
Ping 229 - Microsoft Band, Comet Landing, HBO Go, Lumia 535, Xbox One Year
Dec 02, 2014 at 2:07 PMOn PC, I'm still playing a lot of Dota 2, Hearthstone, and some Civilization: Beyond Earth. But the cheevos aren't the same :)
Ping 221: Forza Horizon 2 Demo, Alienware Alpha, Coolest Cooler, Windows Store Apps, and Lag-free cloud gaming
Sep 10, 2014 at 1:50 PMFixed, thanks for pointing out!
Ping 211: Everything from E3, the World Cup is here, Twitter on Xbox TV, New Skype, and What's in your cup
Jun 17, 2014 at 11:01 AMDon't forget draws. It does a poor job of displaying it, but it can be 41.5% Croatia, 40.0% Mexico, 18.5% draw
Ping 208: Live from TechEd North America 2014!
May 21, 2014 at 3:25 PMThe Future of ASP.Net one is also one of my picks. Another one that was half interesting/half scary is Hacker Tools for Ethical Hackers .
And on a lighter note, Channel 9 Live: The Patch & Switch Show Live has some moments ;)
Xbox One and Smartglass App for Channel 9
Apr 19, 2014 at 11:51 AMAs of Windows 8.1, we support Miracast to add wireless displays to your devices. Miracast is a standard supported by the Wi-Fi alliance. Newer televisions are coming out built in with the standard, but for now you can pick up an adapter much like the ones you list above well below the $100 mark.
Ping 204: Build Recap, Channel 9 on Xbox One, Lumia 1520s on Delta, Lenovo 11e and Titanfall Updates
Apr 15, 2014 at 5:57 PMI played hours and hours of Fusion Frenzy on the original Xbox. Such a great party game. And as cool as Xbox Live is, I do miss the days of Halo LAN parties.
Ping 204: Build Recap, Channel 9 on Xbox One, Lumia 1520s on Delta, Lenovo 11e and Titanfall Updates
Apr 15, 2014 at 5:56 PMI really loved my Dell Venue Pro (the WP7 phone). It is a shame that there wasn't an upgrade path from 7 -> 8, but we are getting 8.1 to all WP8 phones, all the way down to the low-end 520s.
