Valve to bring us 'Big picture' mode

[Blink]

An interesting announcement from Valve today:

Valve, creator of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life, Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today disclosed its plans for a new "big picture" mode of Steam which will offer controller support and navigation designed for television interaction. Big picture mode will enable gamers to enjoy Steam and their library of Steam games on more screens throughout the house.

"Our partners and customers have asked us to make Steam available in more places. With the introduction of Steam on the Mac, and soon in Portal 2 on the PS3T, we've done just that," said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing for Valve. "With big picture mode, gaming opportunities for Steam partners and customers become possible via PCs and Macs on any TV or computer display in the house.

Check out the full release.

Valve acts like a black hole that sucks all the good things in to infinity but some times we get some bugs

Actually, they would announce the end of the world, and it would either never happen or happen way late...

"Our partners and customers have asked us to design for them a better apocalypse, we believe our end of the world event will be more innovative than any other suggested."

HAHAHAHA Man your sense of humor is right the f on man...

The end will come with the convergence of Valve Time and Real Time, as stated during one of the delays of Portal 2.

Perhaps that's the reason we don't have Episode 3 yet. Valve is protecting us.

Of course, I would die a happy man if I got to play it, so...yeaaaa...
