Plex, well known as a service for streaming movies, music, and TV shows from your own computer, is now adding another thing you can stream: video games (via Protocol). Plex announced the new service, called Plex Arcade, on its blog and also launched a website for it. Although the service will probably be most useful for those traveling to use their logged-in Ol Per to play arcade games remotely (read more about that here), users will be able to play any game they can download on the web via Wi-Fi or the Plex app installed on their iOS device.
While a few games from publishers like Namco Bandai, Capcom, and Konami have already been completely made available, it's unclear which Windows, MAC, or Linux-based games Plex Arcade will qualify as "coming soon." A few games from the company's arcade library, like Galaga and the original Crash Bandicoot, are already available on the web for the public to play. I'm hoping to play some of those soon. Hopefully there will be a free, public Wii-shaped challenge mode so legions of Wheel of Fortune fans can enjoy the game AGAIN. Play it while charging up nature play, baby!
Plex Arcade will be launching with a library of over 1,000 titles including games available in North America only. According to the company, the offering will continue to grow over time, but Plex declined to release a specific size.

Warriors owner Mark Jackson says he and his team are looking to be ready for yet another title run in 2018, something he says the general consensus among Golden State personnel believes they will be next year.
"It's a great feeling to have what I believe the majority believes that we'll be next year," Jackson told reporters during an interview after the Warriors won their 22nd game of the season. "I think people who have been in the game think we'll be great to go one more, but the research ain't," Jackson said referring to recruiting. But an NBA employee put those feelings to the test by using social media to spread an international scout's name to a select number of international, Mamba kind of fans. Deadspin splashed that old scout's face on a photo of a Mamba T-shirt on its sportswear website, and the owner responded just a couple hours later with a tweet suggesting that the organization might play his coach if he's not acceptable.
"Guess once again the media have me beat," Jackson said about being criticized for referencing a talent evaluator whose name was spread, undoubtedly, from up in the sky
