By the way, talking about controllers did anyone see those steam controllers? And did anyone sign up for the steam machine beta, I keep forgetting, its probably over now.

Yeah those steam controllers look dumb. I'm not sure if I'd get a steam box either, Linux sucks.

I'm sure ill buy at least one of those kind of machines in the next couple years. I really wanna try that steam controller out, it could flop but it could also be sick. I can't see valve making something like that and it end up being crappy.

Sorry about my poor penmanship. I meant to say that I'd like to try the thing before I make any judgments on it. It might look weird but I really don't care about looks if it's a got a good "personality".  You're right Saucy, Valve does their homework and makes quality stuff. Gabe Newell is the innovative type and his company puts out graet stuff. I'm sure the controller will be awesome.

I just didn't like the design. It wasn't that it was stupid looking. It was that there are no actual joysticks or buttons. It may work, it may not. But, I wasn't about to try one out just to be the first. Since I haven't heard **** about them since they came out, I assume they weren't that great. If they were worth a ****, people would have made a big deal about them by now IMO.

They actually put buttons on it now. As for the other stuff you said, it's still in development m8. Nobody knows if it's good or not because they're still working on it.
Oh and the trackpad type things they're using instead of analogs makes it more accurate than an analog stick. Think of it as the track pad on your laptop. you're basically sliding your finger across it and putting the pointer on whatever you want. They're specifically designing this thing for use on pc so it has to be as good as a mouse and keyboard. The initial testers are already saying it's more accurate than an analogue controller but keep in mind that, like i said, it's still being worked on.

Guess we'll have to wait and see. I like to stay optimistic. It could end up a niche thing, might stick around for a while but never get real mainstream. I think the virtual reality things are going to be sweet too, probably stick around for a while too. I think they will probably end up being a niche market though as well. Idk I'll try em all out at some point.

well, honestly, i think to the pc guys like you and me it's not going to appeal as much as it is to the guy that is wanting to play the pc but doesn't want to sit at his desk. It's for the guy that is happy sitting and playing on his couch with a controller on his lap. You have to admit that sitting down on a couch after a long day is far more comfortable that sitting on the desk chair.
i think what gabe is trying to do with steam is make it part of the living room and take market away from the consoles. that's also why he's releasing the steam box so that people that don't know about computers can buy an all-in-a-box solution and still get a competent rig to play the pc exclusive games.
i think what it'll really come down to is the casual players and stuff instead of us keyboard and mouse guys. i don't really see myself giving up the kb and mouse for a controller on the pc. but again, like you said, maybe.

That is exactly what the Steam box is for LT. They have stated that outright.  They want to make Steam to take over the world.
