I got my Steam Link in the mail today. Its a nice little device. But right off the bat I had an issue with it. Not with it per-say, but with Amazon. They shipped me a used Steam Link. wtf. All the stickers and tape were broken and somebody obviously returned it. The previous owner's name was Justin. Here is a link to my review: https://www.amazon.com/review/R2QCG7PY497FZQ/ref=cm_rv_eml_rv0_rv Anyway, the steam link does work amazingly good.. if connected with a LAN cable. Wifi would probably work a hell of a lot better if I upgraded my router to something that actually supports 802.11ac, mine only connects as fast as 802.11n. Because of this my steam link is practically unusable in my living room while connected over wifi. I actually own a 25 foot (might be 50 foot, its really long) ethernet cable so it was no big deal for me to drop a cable line down the flight of stairs from my PC to my living room to try it out. With a hard line connection like that the steam link works so good, its as if my PC is in the same room and connected to the tv with an hdmi cable. The steam link auto recognized my wireless xbox 360 pc controller. The wireless pc dongle stays powered on so whenever I want to boot up the steam link, I only have to hit the xbox button on my controller to turn it on. Once I get a new graphics card I'll be able to play my entire library of games on my TV in surround sound. Oh.. and it looks like I should be able to play all my origin games with it too. As long as the streaming connection is established with Steam, I can alt-tab out of steam and my TV is now broadcasting my desktop and any and all programs running. I should be able to open Origin and play every game just as if I was running it through steam. The steam link has 2 USB ports, so if I don't want to play a game with my controller, I can simply unhook it and connect a mouse and keyboard. Maybe one of these days I'll upgrade my router and see if this can actually stream over wifi correctly. If not, having to run a hard wire cable is a bit of an annoyance.

The Steam summer sale 2016 started about an hour ago: http://store.steampowered.com/ I was half expecting Mighty No. 9 to be on sale for 50% off only 2 days after release. There aren't any games I've been actively waiting to go on sale, but I might pick up that steam link for $35.

Any Portal fans here? Me and my older brother have been playing Portal 2 co-op about once a week for the past month and we've been having a lot of fun with it. I decided to stream some gameplay this last weekend when we got to the last set of stages. I saved the videos if anyone wants to see some co-op fun and watch the co-op ending with my horrible graphics settings. http://www.twitch.tv/sledgstone/b/494434690 http://www.twitch.tv/sledgstone/b/494469639 After we beat it, we remembered there was a room with extra levels we couldn't access until we beat the game. These levels are noticeably more challenging and we've only beat a couple of them so far. When I first played Portal 2 I thought it was a good game.. but the co-op makes this a great game. Its like a sequel for a sequel. You could almost say Portal 2's Co-Op is actually Portal 3.

Valve has announced the first 13 Steam Machine designs that are now in production. The prices range from $499 to $6000 and are expected to release in 2014. Check the Kotaku link below for the full list of the different machines and prices. As for me, these prices seem much higher than what I was expecting.

http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/ Last week Gabe Newell Said Linux Is The Future Of Gaming at LinuxCon. Which was basically followed by the above website. But I bet all of this is pointing to Half-Life 4 being confirmed! (You can tell because there's 4 circles.) The one that skipped three! And they'll cast Gordon Freeman's voice actor to be Patrick Stewart! Although if it is a Steam Box (& said Steam Box is an actual PC) I'll probably cancel my PS4 preorder. Update 1 - Steam OS http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamOS/ Update 2 - Steam Machines http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamMachines/ Update 3 - Steam Controller http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamController/ And it has all been revealed! Though IF I were them I would have probably save Steam Machine for last & made the controller as the first announcement. Which would have PO'ed the actual me since I'm willing to go back to playing games with a keyboard & a mouse. Otherwise, wow, a controller, meh. Also goodbye my console gaming life. You should have been dead to me when I threw out my N64. (Or so I currently think.) This post has been promoted to an article

Steam has started their yearly Summer Sale. Expect huge discounts on numerous games over the next 11 days. The sale is good from 07/11/2013 to 07/22/2013. Don't forget, they have new sales daily and flash sales ever 8 hours. If you've been holding off on getting a game or some DLC, nows the time. If I didn't already own Defiance on PS3, I'd buy it today on Steam because its one of today's sale items.. on sale for $13.59. Thats 66% off.. and the DLC is 66% off.. I paid $59 a little over 3 months ago just for the game and no DLC.. I wish PSN would sell me the DLC pack for 66% off.. but that won't happen. Sales like this put console game prices to shame. http://store.steampowered.com/ Click here to view the article
