| thumper | morning | 21:46 |
| thumper | I expect this will be in interesting week | 21:46 |
| thumper | with CES on | 21:46 |
| thumper | I also saw rumour somewhere that steam is producing a linux based "box" for gaming | 21:46 |
| ajmitch | that rumour's been pretty widespread lately, almost confirmed by valve | 21:47 |
| mwhudson | huh | 21:56 |
| mwhudson | that would be interesting | 21:56 |
| G | of course, a Steam linux-based console/'box', if done right, is likely to create a bit of pain for the other 'open' game consoles | 22:00 |
| mwhudson | thumper: when are flying through wellington? we're flying up to auckland around then | 22:02 |
| mwhudson | thumper: would be pretty hilarious if we overlapped | 22:02 |
| thumper | mwhudson: Wed 16th, back Wed 23rd | 22:02 |
| thumper | although on the way back is through CHC | 22:03 |
| thumper | cheapest flights to Gisborne is through Auckland.... | 22:03 |
| thumper | weird, but true | 22:03 |
| mwhudson | ah, we're flying on the 18th | 22:03 |
| mwhudson | most flights in and out are the tiny planes i think | 22:03 |
| thumper | DUD->WLG->AKL->GIS is cheaper than DUD->WLG->GIS | 22:03 |
| mwhudson | maybe the aucklands are bigger | 22:04 |
| thumper | maybe | 22:04 |
| mwhudson | your family would be like half one of the beechcraft :-) | 22:04 |
| thumper | heh | 22:04 |
| mwhudson | heh "Gisborne Airport is one of the few airports in the world that has a railway line, the Palmerston North - Gisborne Line, crossing the main runway." | 22:06 |
| thumper | http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a448829/linux-based-steam-box-confirmed-by-valve.html | 22:08 |
| thumper | http://www.examiner.com/article/valve-s-steam-box-to-be-released-q1-2013-to-compete-with-ps4-and-xbox-720 | 22:09 |
| thumper | so, yes happening, still up in the air as to specs | 22:09 |
| ajmitch | nice to know | 22:10 |
| ajmitch | it might mean a few more games being available on ubuntu | 22:10 |
| ajmitch | since ubuntu by itself probably isn't enough of an attraction for game developers to spend time porting | 22:11 |
| thumper | apparently blizzard has a native linux WoW client | 22:20 |
| ajmitch | yeah they've had it for some time. but have never wanted to release it since they've had to support it | 22:21 |
| thumper | :) | 22:21 |
| ajmitch | and given how intrusive their anti-cheating system is meant to be, I'm not surprised | 22:21 |
