Commercial Steam Machine looks like a small refrigerator
http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/25/commercial-steambox-prototype
-
“And, while the company wouldn’t tell us about the boxes’ internals, it did confirm that the hardware will run all Steam titles in 1080p resolution at 60fps.”
-
That is so fucking misleading!
-
-
AMD APU + R9 270 GPU… because Mantle! >.>
-
I’d like to see AMD finally cave and release a PROPER Linux driver for once. I’m not holding my breath though.
-
$499? Oh, good luck /w that.
-
Like the Xi3 this is not a real Steam boxen.

IBuyPower, a name you can trust in computing
Almost 7 months since the first Linux Beta, Still Not Working
http://store.steampowered.com/news/?appids=248410
-
€28 for a game that barely works and only if it’s in the right mood, is way too much
-
I completely agree with the above but at least they are actively trying to unfuck it.
Distance Alpha 2316
http://refract.com/post/68145835540/distance-alpha-2316-changelog
-
The 2315 Released finally brought controller support to Linux.
-
The layout can only be described as cruel and unusual punishment.
Nuclear Dawn makes with the working (thank pizza hipster for pointing this out)
http://steamcommunity.com/app/17710/discussions/3/648811852606424192/
-
It’s not exactly optimized and hangs on close.
-
Playable
-
€3.05 during the Fall sale.
-
Still crashes for me.

MOAR Gallium3D performance improvements
-
Basically, they’re sharing code from the r600 driver to the Southern Isles architecture to help get better performance for the Radeon 7k series.
-
Now it just needs OpenGL 3+ and better 3D performance.
Scraps Kickstarter

Think KSP /w cars and guns
-
Multiplayer? Damn negro, that’s all you had to say
Minetest 0.4.8 released
-
I suppose its worth a look if you demand your minecraft experience to be FLOSS
-
Or if you’re too cheap to pay for a minecraft account
-
PokerTH has a Linux version
http://pokerth.net/download.html
-
This just peaked my curiosity, since I didn’t know of any THold’em that worked natively under Linux.
-
It’s empty most of the time though

-
http://www.indiedb.com/games/grapple-knight/downloads/grapple-knight-v0186-linux

Its supposed to be a tribute to nintendo hard games of the past. In that regard it accomplished what it set out to do.

Old school platformer meets Rogue without having to resort to some stupid gimmick. Mega thumbs up from me.

Final –
This is a definite buy! With Steam’s Autumn sale currently going on and the Winter Sale after this, you have 0 excuse to not get your hands on a key.
Hate Mail:

Again, it’s capture HARDWARE with some special sauce.

That’s good news for me, whenever the beta rolls around.
