Steam Big Picture - Preview

I've had my chance recently to play around with Steam's new feature Big Picture everyone can if you head over to View -> Settings -> Beta participation: -> CHANGE... then subscribe to the steam beta.

Big Picture works a lot like the Xbox360's built in system or the PS3 I just say the Xbox because I think it has more of that kind of feel to it, it's a media center for your PC allowing you to play games from your couch all with the HD Quality of the PC. Really the way they have it setup is pretty neat it's easy to navigate and find what you need, there is even a nicely built in web browser it functions much like chrome with the frequently visited sites, favorites, etc..

Blog Update

It has been a long time coming since I updated the visual scheme of my blog but with the seasons changing over, the weather getting colder and with learning how to photoshop I figured I'd put in some new images and update the look of the site. ^^

I'm fairly happy with how it has turned out so far, I'm always open to suggestions let me know what you guys think! and if you have any ideas drop them below. ^^

My next few reviews coming out will probably be for They Bleed Pixels, Borderlands 2, and then Secrets of Grindea in the far off future when that game is released. I am looking forward to writing them. ^^

I also realized due to my ad blocker program being installed I couldn't see ads put in the layout lol, so I didn't see them. >.< Which I imagine looked horrible, but I removed them all. ^^

"Darkness called… But I was on the phone, so I missed him. I tried to *69-Darkness, but his machine picked up. I yelled "Pick up the phone, Darkness!," but he ignored me. Darkness must have been screening his calls."
