We all like to believe we arent assholes. I'm not going to go out of my way to tell you I am.

Who the hell brags about it? I'm barely passable at any of these things, but I lament that fact, I don't brag about it.

Bravo. BRAVO.

Christ, I have a serious problem. I read that as Holiday Valve Bundle and got all excited. I NEED HELP.

Why yes, because in their twisted world view those pets would have never been in a home good enough for them so it is instead better to put the animals down. BECAUSE LOGIC?

Followed by, "Holy shit he knows what he's talking about!"

Why does everyone keep saying this. The Steam Machine doesn't have exclusives. It doesn't work that way. The box runs a copy of SteamOS which can stream games from your computer. This means you can get the game for your Windows PC, or SteamOS PC, and then stream it out to your Steam Machine. That's not an exclusive,…

Those buttons around the in the middle touch screen, while having the traditional letters of a game pad are likely intended to be used as a set of select/start style ancillary buttons. Take a look at the button layout for Portal 2 and look what they're using those buttons for.

Officially dubbing this thing the "Steam Roller"

Ok, so the comments here are ranging from hyperbolic to outright vile. You need to take a step back, breath, and think about what Valve is describing here. If this thing is even half as responsive/accurate as they're saying it's going to put the analogue stick to bed. Have a little faith.

To anyone angry about this result please keep in mind that your excitement of the potential result has to be tempered by rational thinking in regards to the likelihood of the project ever being completed. You can do this by looking at the project and asking some simple questions like:

Wow this seems like a "duh" moment, but often those are the most overlooked things so it's great to see some of these ideas put into practice.

Fuck I'm adopted into a Jewish family. I've yet to meet anyone who claims I'm not jewish, but it's gonna suck when it happens because it's never fun to talk to assholes in public where you have to be nice and they can be unapologetic monsters.

But... but, EVERYTHING is made with me in mind right? I'm an average, straight, white male. IT HAS TO BE!

It sounds like a unruly boar got loose in the hulk. That's not exactly what I hope a genestealer sounds like.

Anyone else think it's a little weird that they have the Death Company clearing a space hulk? That's not exactly in their charter...

And the race is on!

Sorry but you can include me in that arithmetic. So that makes it It's needless for two, and it's expensive for two.
