Clue: it's a character from The Hobbit who was covered in feces.

We do remember to take our Alzheimers pills, right? I'm afraid that never happened, deary.

We've had Valve's internal team numbers, which includes a Half-Life 3 team, for months. A fake trademark doesn't change the fact that it's in development. There was no reason to get excited over this in the first place, it didn't tell us anything we didn't already know.

I presume they will range from substantially cheaper than next-gen consoles to a lot more expensive.

Somebody's hurt. Quick, go on the offensive!

Learn to read you silly child. What's wrong with you?

So consoles will turn into PCs, except with a pointless, restrictive OS?

It's a competitively priced pre-built gaming PC. It's for gamers, hopefully including people who'd otherwise buy a console.

God, that'd be sexy.

This is the high end Machine. They'll also be releasing cheap ones. Did you read the article?

There will be a range of Steam Machines. High end, and budget. More expensive than consoles, and less. Read the article. kthx

Youuu don't seem to have a clue what you're talking about. Valve isn't trying to make money out of hardware. You can buy all of the pieces yourself, and they've repeatedly stated that. The whole point for Valve is that the consoles come with Steam. That means they can sell them for a hefty loss and still rake in…

What's to stop someone from installing the Steam OS on a PC?

Of course it'll be exclusive to Steam... it's Valve. You know Steam is free to download, right..?

Hurr how do analogies work durr.

Yeah except this comment was just as incoherent as your last one. How does Nintendo not using 3D displays for this game somehow substantiate calling it '3D'? That's the opposite of what should be the case. Sort yer brain out.

I think the winner has to go to 'eating other animals for energy'.

Because stopping cosmic rays is hard.

Do you live in 1900 or something? That very argument could be used to prove that cars are a stupid idea which'll never take off.
