This is great news. I hope the price is reasonable.
Valve has brought the Steam Machine back, and this time it's an impressive, compact, SteamOS-powered box that aims to further bridge the gap between gaming PCs and consoles. We went to Valve to try it out.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

A couple weeks ago, I had to go to the bank. An older woman, ahead of me, pulled out a $55k cashier's check, so her daughter and son-in-law could put a down payment on their first home...
Anyway, I got my check fee waived because I helped the branch manager carry a heavy box on my way in.
