General Chat

I don't think it would replace a good gaming PC honestly, but it's a good alternative for more console-centered gamers.

Would it do mouse and keyboard? Because that would be awesome.

[Obsidian]

I imagine it would, since there's a good chunk of games that don't natively support gamepads. Either that, or Valve is going to create some sort of software layer that translates inputs from the gamepad into keyboard commands for the games, which wouldn't be very difficult. Though, I could also see developers looking at the Steam Box announcement and thinking "Hey, we might want to issue patches to natively support gamepads in our games."

 

Either way, if you want a preview of the games that'll be available for the box, look under the "Linux" section in the store.

What happens if this actually succeeds? I mean Valve already has a pretty big hand in the PC gaming market. What if they also start to get popular among the console crowd? Even if it is Valve, there is a thing as being too powerful.

Just trying to level out the playing field with EA.

I think the General Chat is slowly becoming Random Thread 2.0

[Humin]

Gee, what gave you that idea?

I just recently got cable television after maybe 5 years of not having it...and found a new obsession:

 

The Cooking Channel (as opposed to Food Network)--Iron Chef America, Good Eats, Unwrapped...

Good Eats is amazing, and one of the reasons I enjoy cooking so much.

Yes. Yes there is. Try living in Montana for 4 years, where you have snow and possibly ice on the ground 24/7 from October until April.

 

 

All taken where I lived:

Montana sounds a lot like Norway.

[Psychotic Ninja]

It's worse in North Dekota and Minnesota.

[Kirkreng]

It's been so long since I've been in Norway. Gotta go on vacation there again, been missing that snow.

 

Edit: What's with people Ninjaing me today.
