Steam Big Picture
Steam announced, and released (in Steam Beta), their 10 foot interface to make it nicer to use Steam and play games on a home entertainment system.
This makes me want to hook up a PC to my TV again, something I didn’t think I’d want to do after XBMC was ported to the Apple TV. It won’t be my main PC, as I need that to have a keyboard, a mouse, and a surface to use them on. And it won’t be powered on all the time, because the heat/power usage is going to be annoying. But it will allow me to play Shank and Jamestown on my TV, the way they should be played.
While I go look for some spare hardware to put together a computer to run this, hopefully they’ll release the Linux version of Steam, so I don’t have to buy another Windows license.
