We've heard there are going to be a dozen Steam Boxes at this event, and there are precisely twelve lumps on these cabinets, so that information is looking pretty accurate right now.

This is Adi on text and Chris Welch on photos, and we're here to liveblog Valve's unconventional press conference: no chairs, lots of bass, and some mysterious boxes under black cloth.

Looks like a hardware reveal, nothing more.

 

[Bucket-o-roadkill]

Portal 3, Team Fortress 3, Half Life 3, Left 4 Dead 3,

And SHENMUE 3 exclusive to Steam!!??..

 

[D4Danger]

Steam is down for me ;\.

that means the new iPhone will be available right afterwards

no, wait, wrong event

 

[Askherserenity]

Yeah, Steam is down for me too.

All attendees walk home with a Steambox. Make it rain, Gabe

 

[Kadin]

i hear it's just a smutworld up there on the second floor

Ha ha! I haven't been to CES in probably 10 years now and when I went last time, I believe they were at the Sahara. And it was... different. Not like back in the 90's. Then it was fun and exciting, last time it was just really dark and a bit of a turn off.

 

[kudoboi]

Shame I can't watch the live blog. Hoping for some game announcements but I doubt it

 

[RedSwirl]

Sony seriously the only people live streaming CES?

 

[greycolumbus]

Here's hoping for Ricochet 2 as a Steam Machine exclusive!

 

[Gattsu25]

Steam is down. There are no livestreams.


I'm ready for the future.

 

[Dennis]

Is this The Event?

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Maybe a little showing off of Steam OS and the controller along with the box reveals.

Gabe will be scrolling through a list of games on one of the boxes and audible gasps will be heard, thousands of pictures taken in that instant. Thousands of twitter handles will explode with posts simultaneously, GAF will go down in fucking flames while our new moderators piss on the ashes of the server tower. The skies will light up with pure goddamn electricity, visible from space. It's point of origin? Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Sirens will weep, for January 6th, 2014 was the day our eyes set upon Ricochet 2.

 

[krypt0nian]

Calling it right now. Nothing will be unveiled that we don't already know about.

Apparently Steam was getting ddos'd. Was the same guy doing it a couple weeks back. https://twitter.com/ballsonmoms/status/420353329651138560

 

[HariKari]

Black is the only one here. They are showing the prototype version without the touchscreen in the center.

Production controller not available to play with.

 

[Sentenza]

not to be the Negative Nancy here, but that's more or less what I'm expecting, as well.

 

[whyman]

So Swedish retail and online gamestore Webhallen it making thier own Steam Machine. Wow didnt expect that.

 

[outunderthestars]

Sony conference streaming on my ps3, Valve liveblog on my tablet. I am ready. let's do this.

 

[Lunzio]

Even if it had no sound, I'd watch the livestream just to see the boxes. Pictures will surely suffice. There's something to taking sheets off of surprises though - maybe I'm not hard to excite.

 

[HariKari]

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

Sorry, but what are the lumps on the cabinets?

 

[TheRealTalker]

Sony seriously the only people live streaming CES?

Samsung and others did too.... if that counts (not really gaming related)

 

[Ionic]

Any info on a video stream?

 

[jem0208]

Sorry, but what the the lumps on the cabinets?

Steam Machines presumably.

 

[alexandros]

Half-life 3, obviously! Various Steam Machines.

 

[SolidsnackooFoxhound]

Any info on a video stream?

Doesn't seem to be one.

 

[Soule]

Steam is down for me ;\.

Getting DDOSed

 

[TheGravemind]

3 minutes left -> half life 3 confirmed

 

[sekrit]

It's the steam machines team. They have said that they will tell more about the machines here. I don't get why some people are expecting something more or some game announcements.

 

[opticalmace]

3 minutes left -> half life 3 confirmed

7:59 --> half-life 59 confirmed

 

[HariKari]

Without further ado, Gabe Newell will tell us more about Steam MAchines

Gabe is at least there.

SteamDB are providing the best collection of info and integrated the verge's live blog. Here we go!

Its CES.. you really want to sit around and watch them show off tvs and laptops?

"B E L I E V E"

 

[ThaiGrocer]

Gabe looks like Jesus with glasses.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

Steam Machines presumably.

Ah, okay. Thought it was something else.

 

[inm8num2]

 

[GravyButt]

Should be interested but im not getting hyped up. I know hl3 wont be announced.

 

[Gintoki313]

If it's just the Steam Machine then I guess I won't watch (or read in this case). Hopefully they reveal something cool about the Steam Machine though.

 

[DarkFlow]

http://live.arstechnica.com/liveblog-valves-ces-press-conference/ is way better then verge if anyone was wondering.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

13 new steam machines.

[Sentenza]

Why does this not have any video stream, exactly?

That was fast, here's screeny.

 

[Syf]

One on the left looks tiny. Streaming model?

 

[Nzyme32]

 

[jokkir]

Not just one... not just two... but thirteen!

 

[Baleoce]

13 steam machines. "Each one represents a different take for the right solution for their customers in the living room."

 

[HoosTrax]

Obnoxious timing...they better wrap this up before Auburn vs FSU.
