......A fate worse than death.

That's so incredibly awesome. Only Square!!!

Yeah I've been lurking NeoGAF lately because Kotaku has been unreadable for ages now and you dudes don't post enough here, but it's a real mixed bag.

People were doing it today on NeoGAF. I would like to get some sort of PC gaming. This gen I had a 360/PS3/Wii but I feel like my basis could be better covered with a PS4/Wii U/PC. Most of the Xbone games I'm interested in, like Titanfall are also coming to PC.

Yeah maybe, I still here a ton of people complaining about updating drivers and what not. I don't know, I'll hold off on purchasing anything until after these Steam Machines hit the market. This could be an affordable way to get into PC gaming, then if all I need to is figure out how to install Windows while not overwriting SteamOS...

A little disappointing, I was hoping to get pictures, specs, and all those juicy details. A beta that, like Dean said, we all pretty much have no chance of getting into, is a bit underwhelming... but I'm excited about this technology. EDIT: This title should be changed to Steam Machine ... or Steam Machines?

You can sign up for the Steam Machine beta now.

Great first episode! Hopefully we see J. August Richards again as I'm a big fan of Angel and thought he did a good job in this episode. Good balance between tying things into the Marvel universe and having the show stand on it's own, the connection to Iron Man 3 was a good way of making it feel part of a larger universe but if you'd never seen IM3 before it wasn't like you' done confused. An interesting thing to note that is besides Maria Hill (and Coulson who's now in the comics) every character was original. I can see they might not want to use up a Luke Cage, She Hulk, or Daredevil on an unproven TV show but if this thing becomes popular enough maybe we'll see someone like Carol Danvers or Jessica Drew pop up. Another thing I know I've mentioned before, but I'd really love to see Thor/Captain America/Peter Quill/etc for just one episode around the time those movies open, could be a great way to promote the new films. But for now I'm happy with original characters.

Wasn't it our good friend FLD who couldn't get Ass Creed 3 running on his computer? That guys like 3x smarter than me, so if he can't figure it out, I'm totally doomed.

As someone who isn't a PC gamer what is appealing about this to you so far? Basically at this point it is: 1) An OS you install on a HTPC to play some games natively and stream the rest from your current gaming PC 2) An OS you install onto a gaming worthy PC and give up anything released for Windows with the incentive that AAA support is coming. 3) An OS you dual-boot alongside Windows. To put things into perspective there's under 200 native-Linux games on Steam with AAAs apparently coming next year. But obviously you won't see many (if any) devs porting their old games over unless this gets huge. That would also not apply to DirectX-powered games. Honestly, unless they get some sort of crazy built-in WINE solution I don't think this is enough to appeal widely just yet. It's a start but once you actually sit down and imagine how you would use it you see that it's limited (or really expensive.) I definitely see this appealing to the crowd who have a computer in one room and don't want to run a 50 foot HDMI cord into another. I'm not in that crowd currently but I would have considered it in my previous apartment. Like I said.. if this catches on. I don't like the Windows OS, I haven't used one I like since XP, and I'm not a fan of the direction Windows is heading as a platform. So if in the next few years, most PC games are being brought to the SteamOS, I'm open to the idea of having a computer solely running SteamOS, as gaming is all I'd ever end up doing on a PC since I have an iPad and a MacBook to due all my websurfing, music downloading, recording, video editing on. Or if nothing else, because it's free, I could install it on my MacBook, nothing to lose. Still doesn't fix some of my major issues with PC gaming in general; compatibility issues with hardware, controller support, etc... but we'll see what Valve has to offer tomorrow.

I hereby declare: if SteamOS catches on, I will get into PC gaming!! But only if most major games and high profile indie titles (looking at you, Cube World) make it to the platform.

Wait, so I'm confused. Can the SteamOS actually run games itself or is the thing useless if you don't have a gaming PC? I just want to enjoy PC gaming without the Windows aspect EDIT: Ah Kotaku had it written up better than IGN. I really hope Skyrim is one of those games being built for SteamOS. I'd seriously to try that game on PC.

Still need to finish Gravity Rush....

A no-brainer but nice to see officially confirmed!

I too picked up GTA V. I tried to hold out but I got sucked in by the hype train why? Because I'm a goddamn sucker, that's why. That said it deserves of all the accolades, it's a great game. I'd love to see this on PC/PS4, it'd look great I'm sure.

Add me to your friends list and don't be afraid to ask me for a hand if you ever need it!

What server are you on? Join Cactuar!

Thanks for the help! I did it yesterday and got my dragoon status. The jump attack is exactly as cool as I was hoping, just sucks that I can't look like a dragoon till level 45. Going back to a level 1 marauder wasn't fun but thanks to the hunting log and my chobobo mount, it didn't take too long to level up. That guide you shared came in handy, I didn't realize that parties shared limit breaks.. oops! Fortunately no one ever got mad at me, I only ever used limit breaks against bosses in dungeons, which might be a good place for a DPS limit break anyways.

If writer's goal was to make Korra unlikable then they are doing a fantastic job at it.

I don't think there needs to even be a challenge, Proteus, Gone Home, Dear Esther, etc are still "video games". Video games is an outdate term, but it gets the general point across. Just like how "rock and roll" doesn't always 'rock'. Hell, it barely even rolls these days, but the term rock, rock and roll, rock music, etc still gets the point across. The term "video game" clearly comes from the days of Pong and titles like that, which were clearly games to be played via video. The medium has evolved and so has the definition.

Yeah I guess that's what I'll have to do.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN/WHERE THIS AIRS IN MY FUCKING CHERRY COKE-LESS COUNTRY. DAMMIT!!!

Yeah as someone who's never played an MMO, I was a little disappointed about all the spammers in the past few days. You can't even blacklist them from the chat box you have to type their names in manually. I too am addicted, Fred. Have you gotten to a job yet? How does it work? Do you start off at level 1 again?

You're still really early in! It's definitely the longest Naughty Dog game I've played. I think you'll have a few more times where you almost turn the game off, it can be pretty brutal.
