So how does the Shield work, exactly? I know it's a streaming device, but does your PC have to be on in order to stream the games? Or does it actually have the games on board? Also, does it have to be online at all times to stream games?

I'd love to be able to play my PC games on the go, but when I looked into the Shield a while ago something about it sounded like it just wasn't for me
