In a sense, it seems fitting that right now, as the NFL Draft is going on that we would get an announcement for another massive “non-sporting” sporting event. Say what you want about eSports but it seems to be a growing industry. Valve being as awesome as they are and with DotA 2 gaining popularity [...]
The kid knew all of Valve’s dirty tricks. He fell for them anyways. Team SuperGiant and Valve have teamed up together to create an ‘Announcer Pack’ for DotA 2. I’ve loved DotA for over a better part of a decade but I also came from HoN where announcer packs were fairly common. They even had [...]
Steam was updated today with some brand new features, and to celebrate said features they’re having another sale! Didn’t we just have one like a week ago? Why yes, yes we did… Feature-wise, the Big Picture mode that had been in closed beta is now available for the rest of us losers to use. I [...]
Word on the street, or the internet rather, is that Valve is hard at work on its new next-gen Source. Dubbed Source 2 by the will of the internet (we’re a creative bunch, aren’t we?) the engine is being worked upon, but is waiting for the proper game before it makes its debut. According to [...]
Steams’ Greenlight has been live for just under two weeks, and the first group of titles to be approved by the Steam community have been announced. Unsurprisingly, the group is headed by none other than Black Mesa, the re-envisioning of the original Half Life, built on the Source 2007 engine. The other titles include: Cry [...]
Valve’s Kickstarter-esque community awareness program, Steam Greenlight, has been launched – or in other words, given the green light. HA! I crack myself up… Alright, having spent the last few minutes on the floor in an uncontrollable fit of laughter, I’ll continue. Steam Greenlight is a program that lets the Steam community rate and comment [...]
Yeah, so real life got in the way this week, and unfortunately Proximity Chat is going to be late by about a day or so. We are very, very sorry! But to make it up for you we’re going to make sure to knock this show out of the park! And next week we’ll be [...]
Most of the time ‘mixup’ is a pretty bad word. “There was a ‘mixup’ with your taxes – you actually owe a bajillion dollars.” “There was a ‘mixup’ with your schedule – you don’t get your vacation and you’re working the next 39 days straight.” Well today there was a mixup, and you should all [...]
The Rumor Apple is rumored to be working on a brand new “Kinect-like video game console,” and said console was the reason for Apple’s visit to Valve HQ last week. The console will reportedly come with the oft-rumored Apple TV, which is set (in Rumorville, mind you) to be hitting stores sometime in 2012. The Apple [...]
