Why do they call it a Steam box, because when you see it you evaporate water and walk away.

Just by looking at that peice of **** you can see someone is trying to run Valve into the ground. Give us something that isnt so uncanny in design. A **** console hybrid hipster box is not what we were looking for.

Looks like external PSU, it's probably more likely 80% heatsink.

I bet it's all about the indie game market.

Steam sells a **** **** load of indie games. Most of which they own all the marketing/sales too.
That tiny piece of **** would run indie games flawlessly.

Coming from someone who's even admitted they know stuff all about hardware.

I know of several box shaped pcoip clients, you're just an idiot.

Portal 2 isn't Indy, and Portal 2 runs flawlessly on it. You can bet you're wrong, again.

Two weeks off this time for posting a word you've been told not to use multiple times.

Next time it's a perma.

Zero Clients:

yuk! it looks like they are for business applications not games. What a waste of technology

Quote:

That only works if you yourself are willing to follow forum etiquette. You cant expect to get a decent response from others if your not willing to give one yourself when the tables are turned.

And Its not about score keeping.

Perhaps when you get legitimately criticized for something (i don't mean randomly insulted i mean got your facts wrong or said/ did something silly) instead of a cop out response, such as re-wording the criticism to negate it and thus side step the criticism, you just address it.

There is no reason for a lame side step if you have a reason for why you think a certain way or why u take a certain action and the logic and reason to back it up. Its healthy for all of us to take time to examine our own reasoning so think of it as a benefit of foruming rather then some chore.

And if you don't have a reason and/ or your just plain wrong? Who cares? So long as you admit you were wrong. It takes a strong person to admit they were wrong to say a thing or act a certain way and we all get it wrong now and then.

Yeah but can it stream crysis?

Hate language. You're not allowed to use hate language of any kind. I don't care if you say you had relations with someone's mother or father or that they are a fat loser, or that they do things you don't personally agree with, but if you call them a word that is used to hurt a person based on their race or religion or sexual orientation (whether they are this thing or not) and I see it you get a ban.

It's seriously my only rule.

as for Nvidia's new cloud gaming server:

Quote:
On the user's end, Nvidia says that users should only need about 6Mbps download speeds to enjoy smooth 720p video streams, a speed that should be well within reach for most cable and many DSL subscribers.


maybe in USA 6Mbps is reasonable but here in Aust we have pretty bad net. For example: At one location i get 8Mbps ADSL2 which is ok but at another i get 0.2 Mbps ADSL2 which is woeful.

Still after the NBN finishes up (like years from now tho) things should shape up
