My wild guess/hope is a way to use a Chromecast or AppleTV for streaming your gameplay without having to move your computer.

Valve to make the sun go nova in 5 years.

According to the countdown timer, in a little under 73 hours.

...which, in Valve Time, is about 5 years, yeah.

Those symbols have to mean something.
Thing, thing and empty space and thing + thing?

My immediate thought is that the circle represents a Steam Account; Single Circle is some expansion to the existing Steam/Big Picture paradigm, the circle in brackets is extension of Steam Accounts to mobile devices, and the final Circle + Circle is the final unveiling of the Game Sharing they've been talking about.

*edit* Alternately, "mobile device" doesn't really fit with the "livingroom" paradigm; Circle in Brackets may instead be "Steambox", since it looks like a console.

I can hold off on buying all of the Pinball Tables. Also that new Scribblenauts game.

I can hold off.

I hope they hit the same price during the Winter Sale!

So help me, I'm actually pretty interested in the Steam box. My HTPC is looking rather long in the tooth at the moment, and this could actually be a good replacement.

I doubt there is a gif garish enough to encapsulate my joy and anticipa......... @vegeta_666 Is that a woman twerking in your saints row IV sig?

Even with PFX crashing, I caved and bought a few more table just before the clock ran out.

Maybe? I am not responsible for any Steam sig images! I get my sig from Alabaster Slim.

Looking forward to State of Decay landing today. I played the trial on 360 and couldn't wait to get into it on PC.

*edit* Ah, it's up. Just have to search for it atm.

DaringDirk

And, @Malakaius apparently doesn't think I've got enough balls. Thanks for the Marvel Original Pack, duder!

I do really need to buy inFlux though. I've been following @LaCabra since Shotgun Sunrise and this really does look quite wonderful.

Very excited for State of Decay, but it has to wait until after an upcoming mini-vacation so my wallet can refresh itself.
Enjoying the pinball tables I picked up along with some FTB/backlog until then.

There is one thing in Bioshock Inifnite that distrubed some people, its early enough in the game that I can spoil it but just so you don't have to appeal to the Newell for a refund like the last guy.

You have to get baptized to enter the city. Its not just any baptism but a fake one catering to the glory of the city.

would not be surprised if its aperture related. dota is releasing its portal 2 announcer pack and other portal stuff on monday

Someone must already have some crazy theories about the symbols in each of the circles on that living room page.

You know what's great about the Pinball sale? I've had 4 or 5 friend requests in the past two days. Nothing like having more people on my list with scores that make me cry.

Mudzgut

I don't want to feel more mediocre at digital pinball than I already do, but at the same time, maybe with more pinball players in my list I'll see scores I can attempt to beat rather than scores that look like the gods of pinball achieved them. Is there...is there a P/A Pinball group?

BlindPsychic

Countdown ends in 3 days, 77 days thing ends in 4... hmmm

Well, I managed to almost resist. I only got myself one pack of pinball tables! Woo for self-control!

Definitely HL 3. There's three buttons on the controller, and the cat has three whiskers on its right side. Proof!

Well if you want to get all coincidental. The original announced release date for Half-Life 2 was in September 2003 after it was announced at E3 that year.

Going back and watching the E3 2003 demo, its easy to see why it was so amazing at the time. It still looks good and holds up pretty well anyway. Hell the character models and facial animations still look better than some games in the past couple years, let alone 10 years ago.
