Feedbackula - Steam Machine Madness!

I find it interesting that this guy really gets perturbed about people talking about some one's sexual orientation but has no problem blurting out some totally asinine statement about the Amish and polygamy. Bad show. If you're going to be vocal about one group but find it simple to slam another, then you're a hypocrite.

I was originally impressed about how you stood up for another's sexual orientation but the lack of respect you have for other groups just shows how thin your statements are. Bad show.

lol poor ouya

If it gives gamers more options then its got to be good..... for all of us (console & PC gamers).

So buy a locked out PC to save a couple bucks? hmmm.... NO

Well video games are awesome for a reason and it comes from the software.

I love your shirt

Well Valve is about to do the worst mistake in their life's. Steam OS is a completely useless thing. Everyone have a pc, they like or not, most of the people don't use the pc only for gaming and its a fact, actually less then half of the world pc users play games! Quiet weird I know but is the true! If you want a dedicate gaming hardware buy a console, and that is the reason why people buy consoles, because they don't want spend to much money to build a pc for playing games, buying a console is much cheaper and don't need build and have additional costs unlike a pc, and you can play almost all games on it.

Cool tshirt @johnneh

Well, sounds interesting, but I don't think that this is going to be successful in some way, because PC is not used for gaming only, people will more appreciate the flexibility of windows, linux etc. operating systems and a lot of useful programs, you know.

But maybe this can be installed into the HDD as second OS for a Windows or Linux based PC-system, so if you want to go play games with SteamOS, you just restart the PC and hit the desired OS you want to boot with. So, no problems using both operating systems.

I am offended by this BLASPHEMOUS image, gamespot.

So essentially it's a somewhat open-source xbox... it's not a PC by any means, there's no way they'd allow users to mess with the hardware side of things, which is major point for PC gamers. Do we really need another console out there? Somehow I doubt it... they should instead work on miniaturization of current hardware, let us put our PCs in the living room and that's all we need... well, it would also be nice to have a company who makes gaming PCs and doesn't charge your first newborn for it (I'm looking at you Alienware).

greatest game series of the decade, we will not forget it!!!!!!!!!!

it needs to be good, very good and it needs to be affordable. if it is both of those then it stands a chance, and i will be happy to get one to run alongside my aging pc, rather than upgrade.

I'm happy with my gaming laptop. If I wanted to play in front of my TV I would have bought a console.

The Amish don't practice polygamy. That's Mormons.

To me, the SteamBoxes just seem like the Wii of the PC gaming world.

Think about it: Nintendo targeted the super-casual gamers and non-gamers with their "fun" motion sensing console and moved a lot of units. Then inevitably, the casual/non gamers stopped buying as much software because the trendy hip factor wore off and they went back to doing whatever they did before pretending to be gamers. Because Nintendo did not do enough to court the Hardcore segment of the gaming community *(the people that BUY software CONSISTANTLY), they were left with dwindling game sales, which translated into less hardware sales, which in turn led to less developer support *(You know where this is going). Which forced them to release the WiiU in response to the overwhelming dominance from the BIG 2 to underwhelming sales numbers and general apathy from the gaming community.

Now Valve has somehow theorized that the time is ripe to cash in on a whole new crop of "Casual" gamers with dedicated set-top box that is easily accessible to people who don't want to build a gaming PC or buy one of those absurdly expensive pre-built gaming PC/Laptops and uber-trendy for those folks who don't want to own a mainstream gaming console because they find that far too Passé` for their highly refined tastes.

Will history repeat itself; or set a new precedence?Only time will tell.

say did anyone look at the users vote for next ceo at microsoft

http://www.nextmicrosoftceo.com/

made me chuckle seeing the results..

Go away Feedbackula

I don't "wipe my PC", Johnneh... Wait, that sounded wrong...

It seems like a cool thing but I doubt I'll get one, having a gaming PC already, I rather get the PS4

And feedbackula continues to ridicule users. guess that new direction didn't really happen, after all.

Nice Feedbackula, keep it up!

SteamOS may be the next big thing, but as a console junkie I'm not particularly interested. I ditched PC gaming years ago because I got sick and tired of upgrading. Who needs yet another thing which needs to be fed new audio and graphics cards on a regular basis to survive. It's much easier to take care of fish in a tank, and a bit cheaper, too.

you bastards come in to our village and kill our fish, pollute our water and **** our penguins. Im gonna send you back to hell where you belong!

still not sure how feedbackula went from "horroresk" to "old west" motif? its a question wrapped in a riddle stuffed inside an enigma mailed to nowheresville and lost in transit...

STEAM OS, Why didn't I think of that!!!

Let's see what happens and I'll think about the utility of this Steam machine.

@jawslover @xXl_z3r0_lXx @OortCloud33

Did you see some of the stuff people were saying about the reviewer? It was absolutely vile, I don't blame Johnny for calling people out on it.

I think this is for the people who don't want to build their own pc, and that is all. Controller is great i think, because it is revolutionary, but other than that i don't know what is new really.

Something about the new format of this show is...unsatisfying

A TV is what other people look at when I play games on my PC

RIP OUYA

I'm happy where I am =D

Hmmm..

I'm still confused as to who it's trying to target. PC gamers have their super-rigs whereas console gamers are usually happy with what they've got anyway - hence not making the leap to PC.

The choice to go over to Valve's tech is cool an all, but can it provide the exclusives only available on consoles? No, likely not. It's the Uncharted's and Halo's etc. that have kept me a console gamer the past two generations. Steam gaming may look to be good, but on a personal level I probably wouldn't be as pleased with the games on offer.

I wish Valve well, but meh... It's likely not for me.

(p.s. doesn't an open platform also increase the likelihood of players cheating via mods and hacks?)

@jawslover @wgerardi @xXl_z3r0_lXx @OortCloud33 Of you mighty mighty man, you trash on someone and then whine that you are trashed back. boo boo hoo... Fools.

Liked the new direction johnnyy :) nice one !

Liked this episode Johnny. Great follow up to last week, for sure. Cheers.

@wgerardi @jawslover @xXl_z3r0_lXx @OortCloud33 What so we're just supposed to forget all this shit just because he works for GS? **** that

@jawslover @xXl_z3r0_lXx @OortCloud33 You guys mind cooling it with the disingenuous outrage?

The Amish aren't polygamous.

Before I decide to buy SHOW ME THE DAMN MACHINE!!!

If Feedbackula is going in a new direction and all that Johnny should get a new haircut. I think he should shave the top of his head and let the sides and back grow out this time. You know the opposite of the haircut he has now.
