There was a idle thumbs game playing thingy where we played SotC together, 1 colossus per week. (I failed to complete it)

I liked the R&C Future games quite a bit. I completely forgot to get the HD versions of the PS2 games, but now I see that in 2 months a new R&C game will come out for the PS3: Ratchet & Clank: Nexus

But most of the good old games are not frustrating, they are simply quite difficult overall. Modern games are quite often frustrating due to meat circus segments. Maybe these meat circuses exist because they are most of the time a baby game, until that point.

Nope. Darksiders 2 is pretty much just more of Darksiders 1.

There's no real puzzling or fight planning in HL2. DX/DX:HR/DX:HR:TML are mostly about planning on how you are going to approach the situation. Puzzling depends on which plan you want to execute and usually comes in the form of hacking and key finding.

idle thumbs... get it?

Well, if you want thinking about fighting, there's: - dishonored - mark of the ninja - deus ex: human revolution

That still looks creepy

Well... you said you wanted to play games that required you to think. None of those other games really require much thinking (don't know about xcom though)

yeah I read that. It was more a question towards Chris (or anyone else that tried it already) on how it feels like.

So there is tactile feedback on those trackpads? How does that work?

If you like The Swapper and Gunpoint I'd suggest Fez and Braid. They are both action puzzly.

I think it will be cylinder shaped and called: Steampipe

Yes.

If you're only interested in streaming I'd suggest to get one of those all-in-one thingies with a proper graphics chip. So, an atom with a geforce; or a i3 (the new one, it's much closer to power usage as an atom); or that AMD APU thingy(*). For example Zotac has ok barebones (just need to add a disk, memory). The main reason to go for a standard solution is the form factor, it's simply much smaller then when building something yourself. (*) Linux drivers for Radeon are still shit as far as I know. nVidia and Intel do have properly performing drivers. But for streaming I guess all you need is proper VDPAU support. (i.e. hardware decoding)

If there will ever be a Half Life 3 Valve will make it run on all Steam supported systems. Because it's proof for other game creators that the Steam platform is a platform they should also release their games on.

I think O+O will be "game sharing". Given the streaming feature, it will probably be a small step to include twitch streaming from Steam.

Streaming would be awesome for the Liunx HTPC I made last week. Now I can play all my Steam games from my bed instead of getting up and walking all the way to my workstation (which I guess is about 6 meters max)

So were' still doing this?

I can join in 30 minutes.

I will probably join late. I'm not sure when I'll be back tomorrow.
