While I think the second will be the box. I think the last will be the games that will be available on it. That's also going by the 3 circles pictures too.

Wondering.. does Logitech G27 classify as a controller? :twisted:

// nvm, it does not :(

"Controller Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows, Xbox 360 Wired Controller, or Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 recommended. Keyboard and mouse also supported."

Two things:

1. TF2 is a control-enabled game, so def us that :P

2. If you don't have a controller/compatible controller: http://redd.it/1n4cx2

Already signed up, apparently steam forgives using a PS3 controller in emulation as being compatible for these purposes. I will say with my luck I doubt I'll be picked more likely they'll close my account.

Maybe for once we'll have mixed system games. I'm kinda hoping that xbox1 and PS4 games will allow PC players to play against the consoles but there's no reason not to let steambox players get annihilated :ugly:

Post subject:  Re: The Steam Universe is Expanding in 2014

First, Hey cardboard! Nice to see you.
Secondly, my predictions are
Steam OS, obviously
SteamBox
and Console Compatibility. Meaning that Xbox users and PlayStation users will beable to access Steam through the console itself.

I'm fucking digging the new control pad, if it's as well thought out as they claim it to be it's going to be pretty nice.

Don't think this would ever happen unfortunatley, because steam is more or less a platform in itself and if you're using steam on their consoles, you're probably not paying attention to their featured games and homescreens, probably not even buying their hardcopy games either.

Still no word if they'll let us play against Steam Box on the same server. I really would like to get hold of that controller, I'm not sure it'll work but damn I love the ambition.

I think it's safe to assume so, no reason why they wouldn't. The pad itself can be faux mouse and keyboard input.

To play the Euromillions I need 5 numbers from 1 to 50 and two from 1 to 11 the jackpot is a 1 in 116,531,800 chance and Tuesdays jackpot is estimated at £12,000,000 or €14,300,000.

That said the prize is tax free (Yeah there are big Jackpots in the US but a 35% tax on winnings and having to take the money over 26 years really sucks) so what ever is advertised is what gets dropped in your bank and the largest prize won on Euromillions was €185,000,000 or £161,653,000 about $261,000,000.

Saint if the numbers you pick win 50% is yours.

And what if the numbers I picked win?

I'd say donate to SpA :p

Post subject:  Re: The Steam Universe is Expanding in 2014

If heldplayer's numbers win, pay off my tuition then donate the rest to SpA :ugly:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery_jackpot_records Seems pretty up to date on the american side.

As for the over 26 years thing, alot of people don't do that. They take the cash option, you get less, but its up-front. Then taxes... :(
