I use a G700. It's pretty nice.

I wanted to get a Cyborg RAT but they are like $100-$150 and I've been using Logitech for as long as I can remember.

 

BTW i have a smoking hot wife

Proof or never happened.

 

Damn, she's smokin'!

I'm concerned about the long-term effects of having such a powerful magnet so close to my gonads.

Unless you have sperm that wear metal armor I wouldn't worry about it.

Remember when Firefox was on version 3 for years and now they're on like, version 25?

Someone's getting a Ferrari!

I tried that too.

Alright, well. I have a problem...

It turns out if you don't have Steam Guard enabled on your account you can't trade. When you enable it you have to wait 15 days before you can start trading.

Sorry.

I have coupons to get rid of too!

You think it's "one of the worst games ever" not based on gameplay, scenario, or physics, but on the cut scenes at the beginning of the game? That's hardly fair.

Books? Books?! This is America, we just read blogs, listen to talk radio and watch TV. We base our reality on opinions masquerading as facts. Thats how we do things here. Do not rock the boat, people don't like it when you start thinking, exploring topics, and actually studying a problem. They prefer you to just listen to what they tell you and nod lol.

 

Wealth and Poverty of Nations; Progress and Poverty; the Bottom Billion; Poverty, A study of Town Life. Those a few that seem to be popular and have catchy names. lol

Aren't books just the opinions of the people who write them? Is it that much different from a blog?

 

One of the worst game ever. I've acquired Max Payne 3 about 2 month ago or so. I just installed it on my PC. I can't withstand graphic aspect of the game. It's causing headaches, literally. All cinematic scenes have rainbow flares, pictures have dualization.

I can't play it. At all.

 

That sounds like your opinion, which is wrong, but whatever.

I've always thought Titan Quest was pretty awesome. Diablo 2 and Titan Quest are definitely my favorite action RPGs.

That guy got the wrong part of the Oreos.

 

Toss the outsides. The inside white goop is where it's at.

 

So much effort. So wrong in execution.

Yeah, it's like the whole point of Double Stuffed Oreos. I've never seen a double cookie Oreo!

Is the loot system as good as D2's system? I heard it was then I heard it wasn't. I loved the random chance of getting a unique awesome/ weapon or armor or a completely useless one

 

I think it was like normal, superior, ethereal(d2 exp) magic, set item, rare, or unique all class based magic items that always have extra properties pertaining to a class

 

I never got around to D3 but may take it up some time. I played D2 a little in august for the 2 days my internet was down.

Around the time the expansion for Diablo 3 comes out next year they are patching in "Loot 2.0", which takes into account there being no auction house. I assume it's supposed to be an improvement. I haven't looked into it too much.

I get that, but what is it for? All I see is it surrounded by Italian.

What is this for?

I would ban you if I could for posting a crappy CAD comic...

I'm sure you could find some reason...

 

No politics!

No religion!

No nakeds!

No pron or pron references!

Keep it classy! (In magazine terms Maxim would be pushing it...)

120x120 only!

There!

Technically the rules don't say anything against posting porn or naked pictures in topics, just for avatars...

If their controls are supposed to simulate a mouse I imagine it will be very similar to a laptop track pad. On a controller right now you have sticks, if you push up on the stick you'll look up (or down if you play inverted) until you let go. On Valve's track-pad-stick-replacement-things you would hold your thumb towards the top of the of the pad. If it's simulating a mouse it wouldn't keep moving up like a stick, it would just stop at that location. Sticks are an analog movement that can control the rate and direction of movement. A track pad that is moving as a mouse can't do that unless Valve has to specifically tell the controller games that need analog movement get analog movement. That way if you hold your thumb towards the top of the pad it will keep moving up, like a stick would. Then Valve has to tell the controller specifically which games need mouse like track pad movement so it doesn't control like a stick, like RTS games. It would be super complicated if Valve has to go through and tell each game how to see the controller.

Unfortunately I won't get hands on with one until I buy one. No one I know will buy one and I'm definitely not getting in the beta.

At least Valve gives tons of information about what they announce unlike certain other companies who reveal something and...that's it. They don't give any specifications or anything until another huge gaming event. It's going to be interesting to see the Steam Controller in action since they say it will act a lot like a Keyboard/Mouse. Having read more about it, I'd be interested in even trying it out without going in with a negative mindset about it.

Have you tried to play an FPS with a laptop track pad?

A Steam controller. Ehhhh....Hmmmm....Uhhhh...Errr.

I wasn't expecting that.

The rumor going around is that the next announcement is a new version of the Source engine, but that information is from 4Chan. I don't believe anything on there.

Regardless of their actual Steam Box/Steam Machine whatever thing, I'll definitely be making a cheap PC with SteamOS if the streaming to the TV is good. It would be awesome if they partnered with Sony and made it so you could install a SteamOS app on the Playstation 4 to stream from your PC to your TV, but that would be crazy... OR WOULD IT??

 

 

 

We have designed a high-performance prototype that’s optimized for gaming, for the living room, and for Steam. Of course, it’s also completely upgradable and open.

 

It's called a PC Valve, I've been using one for over 20 years...

 

I really don't see the point of this. What is the advantage of getting one of these over making a PC with an ITX motherboard and installing SteamOS? Is this just for people who don't know how to make a PC but want to play PC games?

 

Your're not the target market.

 

I get that much, but I'm trying to figure out what the target market is. Are they trying to take sales away from the Microsoft and Sony on the console front or just trying to give PC gamers that don't make their own PCs something to put next to their TV?

Frame rate still drops into the low teens, just like GTA IV. Awesome.

 

I'm not sure I see the benefit of a "Steam box". It would just be a PC that goes in your living room. I can do that now.

 

It would have to be something real special to peak my interest.

I think the target market is for console gamers/budget gamers. Who want to play PC games (with cheap deals) on a big screen (big picture mode) without the fuss of moving a rig back and forth between 2 setups. If it is cheap enough I might buy one myself for my TV.

 

What does a "Steam box" have over a Playstation 4 or Xbox One besides the hassle of having to mess with video options to get the game to run properly? I think if you have a good handle on PCs you can build one already and if you don't you can stick with consoles. I think the number of people that want to play PC games on their TV but have no idea how a PC works is a very small market.
