Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

While that's still super awesome in it's own right, my first thought when I heard about Big Picture is how easy it could be to just make the Steam app have controller capabilities which could then allow your mobile device control the gameplay, settings what have you.

For lack of this, I am a little disappointed. Dah well I can dream.

Am I the only one who can't stop staring at the keyboard/bass guitar?

Commodore 64 Guitar.

[–]c0pypastry 1 point2 points ago

but does it convert the strings played into midi and then route to the sid chip in the c64? because THAT would be fucking awesome.

Nintendo has always been the one to come up with inovations :o

Loudly, and only as far as console gaming goes. Then the other two sneak up from behind with optional features they don't force the consumer to adopt with every new system.

Nice to see the big N going back to roots with good controllers that look like they will be useful for hardcore gaming, and better processing power on the console itself.

Xbox controller with a lcd installed to display developer codes/errors?

[–]Castigar2000 0 points1 point ago

This is what Valve looks like? I always imagined it would look like the inside of a massive sci-fi engine room, or at least huge and nice like Blizzard or Epic. They need to hurry up and finish polishing HL3 to its holy glistening singularity-causing perfection already so I can start giving them my money.

Given, most of the picture is blocked out by the huge and nice monitor and console, so priorities, I suppose.

I love the portal door

[–]yoyo71 0 points1 point ago

Valve is cross breeding consoles!

[–]virtualmatrix555 0 points1 point ago

Fuck that, check out the Zenith Hero JR. Personal Robot on the bottom left. I had one growing up! Fucker was annoying on battery though, rolling through the house singing "Daisy Bell." Drove my mom nuts :D

I tweeted Jeri about this. Her Reply, and I quote:
