Looks neat and the price sounds like it might be right. Also, big talk about how hard it was to get a Steam Controller on launch day. Tips on avoiding family trips. Are steam machines incoming too? MK II the movie seems like it might be better than ok! We all played a lot of Diablo IV. Fans think Scott looks like Lorath. Dunno about that.
