Is the Dutch solution to Loot Boxes more evil than the problem?

July 25, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Transparent Loot Box - DotA 2

The Dutch banned Loot Boxes and Valve removed them in June. Wesley Yin-Poole has a nice write up the situation over at Eurogamer. In essence; Loot Boxes are gambling. You pay money for them and don’t know what you’ll get back. The situation was made even worse (or more addictive) with loot box trading and […]

Valve announce multiple Steam powered machines

September 25, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Did you safely predict Valve would launch a SteamBox after yesterday’s SteamOS news? I did. I was wrong. The company has gone for multiple boxes, Steam Machines if you will, from a range of unnamed hardware partners. Valve aren’t happy with the PC world. For a start, the number of PCs being sold is dropping […]

The most dangerous unboxing ever

September 23, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Some people may have grown tired of unboxing videos. I understand why. That said; someone can always build a better box. Combine that mysterious box with the fact that it was sent to Valve, the makers of some wonderful computer games, and suddenly the unboxing gets interesting again. Could this be an unboxing for science, […]

Big Picture: Steam on your TV

September 10, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We know Valve is serious about hardware but we don’t yet have a Steambox. Today, though, we certainly narrow the gap. Valve has announced “Steam’s Big Picture”. Start with a dedicated PC (and, yup, many gamers have something spare… I may have a laptop or two tucked away), one HDMI cable and you’re ready to […]

Valve job listing seems to confirm hardware ambitions

September 4, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There have been rumours about Valve getting into hardware before. Fans seem to rather want a Steambox console but so far all such whispers have turned out to be false. It’s also the case that Valve are worried about Windows 8. The prospect of a Windows 8 store (one that might grow like an apple) […]

A Doug Rattmann movie – Aperture: Lab Ratt

April 1, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Doug Rattmann, aka Ratman, is an interesting character from Portal mythos. He helped save Chell. Rattmann was a scientist for Aperture and worked on the project – although it’s believed he never worked directly on GLADoS and, in fact, argued against trusting her. He is the one responsible for “The cake is a lie” warning. […]
