There are 3 upcoming Valve's announcement.
1. Steam OS 2. TBA 3. TBA
One is already announced. The OS. Wasn't that surprised. I simply laughed. I really don't know whether Valve is crazy, cocky, or genius (or all 3).
What's your thoughts so far? |

Regarding 1. I have been reading comments on Engadget. I will be one of those people who simply hooks up his pc to the tv. I don't need another os. Life is short and dinner time is chancy Eat dessert first! |

2: Half Life Episode 3 3: Valve will be doing a spaceship MMO and although it will be totally 'like EVE' it's -not- biting off EVE. also kickstarter.

since when has that ever stopped anyone from posting there?
anyway I must say I am somewhat curious about the steam os. Might be interesting if it could run windowsgames without a need for emulator, but doubt that'll happen |

No they went one step further.

Quote:Of course, most of the games on Steam are Windows only, and are not compatible with Linux. To combat this, SteamOS allows for any connected PC running Windows (or OSX for Mac games) to sling signals to the SteamOS machine over the network.
Basically what they are saying is that you need a computer with windows streaming to your computer with SteamOS in order to play games. Of course anyone with half a braincell will realize that you can gain the same effect if you just sit at the windows computer. Out of Pod is getting In the Pod - Join in game channel IG OOPE |

it does open the door to some pretty awesome stuff. it might also make the desktop computer the "new" living room console, needing only a cheap-ish steambox attached to the tv.
will this be the PC comeback at consoles? who knows, but the times seem to be exciting. [img]http://eve-files.com/sig/grimpak[/img]

The cynical git in me says half life 3 is a no no.
Heres my guess.
1. Steam OS 2. Steambox im guessing they call it pistonpower or something. 3. Team fortress classic 2. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

yeah, so basicly its still a windows computer playing the game and you just remote acces it. So you are still running on windows, AND it has the added benefit of needing a fast(I assune) and definetly stable internet connection to do so thats not what I call one step further, but rather 1 step back and a few to the side
playing singleplayer games online, now where did we hear that before? Wont work for me anyway as Im at sea with crap internet 6 months out of a year |

Well, i dont know about other games, but in a pc used by day care kids, its been using offfline steam for about 3-4 years, mainly playing games like plants vs zombies. No problems :) dont know about good games though like bioshock maybe or games from ubicrap.
Btw, that PvZ still got the old dancing zombie, none of that new dancing zombie remake :-P |

OT: Every time I see the name Valve, I think of the book A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole,. The obese, eccentric, intellectual nerd mama's boy protagonist has trouble with his "valve." Example from his diary:
GÇ£Social Note: I have sought escape in the Prytania [a movie theater the hero goes to] on more than one occasion, pulled by the attractions of some technicolored horrors, filmed abortions that were offenses against any criteria of taste and decency, reels and reels of perversion and blasphemy that stunned my disbelieving eyes, the shocked my virginal mind, and sealed my valve.GÇ¥
Anybody read that book? Some pretty good comedy in there.
On-topic: Looking forward to the new "share Steam games with family and friends" thing. Can now go head-to-head with my kids in Mount & Blade and Worms Armageddon! |

True, same for me :) I am interested of the idea tho', modular steam machine perhaps? People are coming up ideas for modular machines. Like the modular phone here. |

That wholly depends on how much money you want to spend on it.
edit: touching on the controller.
I would very much like to get my hands on the controller. It looks it could be more comfortable to use than the 360 pad that I currently use which ends with me having cramps in my thumb from hammering the ABYX buttons.
Regardless, I am glad that Valve is trying to do something different and new in that space. Allow me to be frank. You will not like me. You will not like me now, and you will not like men++ a good deal less as we go on. |

Yeah that controller is a surprise.
The touch pads will be interesting. Cant imagine how it will be different from the thumb sticks until i get my hands on it but worth a shot.
Love how the steam promo shows them playing civ 5 too. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

This is going to be interesting, I really hope this will eventually reduce the dependency of having to use Windows for gaming PCs.
Gaming is really the only reason I use Windows anymore. |

If I were valve I probably wouldn't make HL3, the hype has already killed it and it may not be even produced! Secondly it leaves a lot of room for some great fan fic's. That and they have a chance to ME3 the whole darn thing, so be careful what you wish for. wumbo |

Guess I am one of the few who actually liked the ME3 ending. Finaly a non-holywood "everyone lives happely ever after" ending. It showd balls, and then theye go and change it -_- |

..also helps to maintain those paying customers' faith when a fourth game in the franchise is in development. Rainf1337 on Twitch |
