From here on out, whenever Steam goes down, people will think it's a DDoS attack.

They've won.

 

[Atraveller]

Stump took it. Said he was going to give me a tag for it, or maybe I dreamt it.

Man I want a tag myself.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Steam down again?!

why don't you read up a little bit

That would be brilliantly devious from Valve's end.

Give me 2!

 

[Dr Dogg]

Ridiculous price tag.

Well there is another that can go up to $6k. I don't think the majority of suitors would be spending anywhere near that though.

 

[Atraveller]

No, thanks. I would like to earn mine, preferably not by doing something stupid.

 

[MRORANGE]

Give me 2!

your probably need 20 jobs.

I can build the one I mentioned with 1400 usd with a sick case.

 

[Gamerloid]

Man I want a tag myself.

Same here. I wouldn't get to choose my tag, so it's pointless unless it's something nice like Risette's "A Good Citizen."

 

[denx]

Video about the Alienware box http://www.gamespot.com/videos/a-look-at-the-alienware-steambox/2300-6416734/

That's a sexy ass little box, although I'm concerned about the cooling in that thing.

 

[Dr Dogg]

I can build the one I mentioned with 1400 usd with a sick case.

Oh easy and with change left over. Though the whole bespoke pc market is a different kettle of fish mind.

Be nice to see what the other vendors take on the Steam Controller is like. I wonder if it will be like for like or if they can deviate a little? Maybe minimum spec but can add a few things or maybe change up the ergonomics. Still release date and prices going forward would be nice.

 

[Mairu]

I don't really understand the point of these very-expensive 'unique' form factor steam machines. Oh well, I'm looking forward to trying out the controller whenever those are available.

 

[Minion101]

Seems the fun Nazis are DDoSing steam again.

 

[Clawww]

hot dang just had a 7k gold run in Rogue Legacy

feelin so blessed

 

[NaM]

your probably need 20 jobs.

That's actually very accurate in my case and I guess for many others too :/

 

[NaM]

Seems the fun Nazis are DDoSing steam again.

You don't get to 62 million users without a few enemies.

 

[xJavonta]

That's a sexy ass little box, although I'm concerned about the cooling in that thing.

Probably uses a mobile CPU/GPU, so cooling shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I don't really understand the point of these very-expensive 'unique' form factor steam machines. Oh well, I'm looking forward to trying out the controller whenever those are available.

Most PC cases are ugly as fuck IMO. I hate my current case and always want to go smaller. Which is why that tiny 8"x8" alienware box is so appealing to me.

 

[alr1ght]

Oh DDOSes. Isn't there some way to fight them? A bunch of sites have been down all week due to DDOSes.

 

[MRORANGE]

That's actually very accurate in my case and I guess for many others too :/

Don't feel bad, I'm in the same pool :|

At least we can make our own SteamBoxes

 

[MMBosstones86]

I don't really understand the point of these very-expensive 'unique' form factor steam machines. Oh well, I'm looking forward to trying out the controller whenever those are available.

Same here. I already have a PC I've put plenty into and I don't know enough about SteamOS yet to be interested. That controller really interests me though

 

[xJavonta]

Oh DDOSes. Isn't there some way to fight them? A bunch of sites have been down all week due to DDOSes.

I really hate these stupid fucking kids that DDOS stuff. Go out and get a life instead of making other peoples' lives more difficult.

 

[FloatOn]

I want to know how it is I beat rogue legacy on launch but I still haven't touched half life 2 + episodes.

I'm bad at steam.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Oh DDOSes. Isn't there some way to fight them? A bunch of sites have been down all week due to DDOSes.

i feel we just need more internet

I have 35 fucking Keys to redeem and steam is being a slowpoke. Jesus!

How? Would all 6TB be SSDs?

 

[PandaPedinte]

That's actually very accurate in my case and I guess for many others too :/

Before getting other 20 jobs I need to find a new one first. :-/

Gaudy looking LEDs and fans because "gamerz!"

You guys act like you were never a teenager who used telnet to connect to NASA's servers and write "dix" half a dozen times just for the thrill of it.

 

[Dr Dogg]

How? Would all 6TB be SSDs?

Well, putting something like a 4960x in there isn't going to be cheap. That's $1k+ on your CPU alone.

 

[Jørdan]

So the idea behind having a dozen companies do their own thing is choice and competition?

 

[kevin1025]

I can help you redeem some of them faster

 

[MRORANGE]

So the idea behind having a dozen companies do their own thing is choice and competition?

Yes.

It would be hard to maintain a standard that all Steam games could adhere to, this would counter-productive in an area like PC-Gaming.

 

[corrosivefrost]

I have 35 fucking Keys to redeem and steam is being a slowpoke. Jesus!

35?

I really wish Steam would allow web redemption. Origin and Desura are definitely better when it comes to that.

 

[Grief.exe]

I've never had this many problems getting the Steamguard email. Just not coming right now.

So the idea behind having a dozen companies do their own thing is choice and competition?

They probably don't have the manufacturing capability to satisfy the demand or the amount of possible configurations.

 

[MakeshiftChef]

I hope we get some more information on the Steam Controller. After seeing the specs and form factors for the Steam Machines I can say that I am quite content with what I have currently (Christmas was very merry gaming time around here, got a new power supply, 4gb ram, and a MSI Twin Frozr gtx760 for the PC as well as a Zelda edition 3DS XL).

But come on man! I want to get my hands on that controller!

 

[Atraveller]

35?

I really wish Steam would allow web redemption. Origin and Desura are definitely better when it comes to that.

It would still be unavailable if the site is under heavy load.

 

[kevin1025]

Any ideas/guesses what the Humble Bundle will be tomorrow? Let's guess impossible (but hopefully happening) things!

 

[Jørdan]

Yes. It would be hard to maintain a standard that all Steam games could adhere to, this would counter-productive in an area like PC-Gaming.

They probably don't have the manufacturing capability to satisfy the demand or the amount of possible configurations.

Thanks for the replies, I was caught a little off guard by the number and variety of partners.

 

[Cosmic Schwung]

Well, putting something like a 4960x in there isn't going to be cheap. That's $1k+ on your CPU alone.

Sure, and another grand on the Titan. Nearly $4000 for everything else still seems excessive.

It's kinda odd they're offering Titans in these things when a 780Ti trumps it and costs less.

 

[soulassssns]

Steam network down for maintenance or something?

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Steam network down for maintenance or something?

for the last time
DDOS DDOS DDOS!

 

[Vazra]

I can help you redeem some of them faster

Want Blades of Time or The Ship?
