Full Steam (Machine) Ahead
About this episode
The episode discusses the Steam Machine's pricing and the hype surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI.
On this week’s episode, Chris, Gita and Luke discuss the recent price announcement for Valve's console-competitor, the Steam Machine - it's $1,049 USD, but unfortunately that's kind of just what computers cost now. All that said, Chris does make it sound like a pretty cool little PC. Then we'll turn our attention to the grand monolith casting a dark shadow across the gaming release calendar: Grand Theft Auto VI. Has there ever been this much hype for a game? Will there ever be again? And why does none of it strike a chord with Luke, who is ostensibly a GTA guy? And finally we'll hit the Mailbag for a little bit of inside baseball, and to sing a song for some unsung heroes of video game development.
