I'm thinking you meant "streaming". Well your in luck, you already have the setup for gaming and might need a few more parts to complete. Software installs: Adobe Flash Player and DivX Hardware: USB WiFi receiver or Ethernet (Cat5) cable to router for internet connection. Websites: (use at own risk); Google: free tv project, solar, letmewatch or any other video sites; YouTube, Vimeo, etc. Also, ovguide has a directory too. Hope this helps.

no, pretty sure the author meant Steam (http://www.steampowered.com)
And here is the link to the game mentioned http://store.steampowered.com/app/115300/?cc=kr
Unfortunately, there is no way on this digital plane of existence that that poor old Acer AspireOne is EVER gonna p[lay that game.
The system requirements are just to much greater than the poor old netbook can can handle.
It's either gonna take the new steambox(complete steam powered game system), a MUCH more powerful gaming laptop(multi-ghz dual core, with a dedicated gaming video card) or, probably the simplest and cheapest, an old refurbished xbox360.
