Before getting to the Valve stuff, the Humble Mobile Bundle 2 has launched. Offers 4+2 Android games and 4+1 soundtracks, with Child's Play and EFF as the two charities.
Valve has announced that Steam Machines are going to be a thing (as opposed to the Steam Box). They have their own design, which I assume are what will be given out during the beta, but are forming partnerships with hardware companies, so a variety of hardware options will be available to consumers. Think Android or Windows and how you have widely varying hardware specs for the complete devices you can purchase. Some are more powerful, some are cheaper, and some are quieter.
So long as they can get some good hardware out at the beginning, this should do well.
Also, there is a beta program you can apply for, but there are requirements you have to satisfy first. You can find those on your own because I want in!
This leaves just one announcement left, with the two circles being added together. Some are speculating it will be a controller, which would be nice (especially if it is launched immediately), but that does not really seem to fit with the image. The circles are SteamOS after all.... I still think it is going to be some kind of connectivity thing, like some special multiplayer system. We'll find out on Friday!
