In this episode of the Cheerful Ghost Roundtable we talk about Valve's new SteamOS and Steam Machines. As always we discuss the games we are playing and dive in to Valve's new console news and what it means for our gaming habits. Is a Steam Machine a good thing or should we just stick with Sony and Microsoft?

I think I probably like the characters of GTA V more than Travis. I thought Franklin was more of the "good guy," Trevor was the crazy "bad guy," and Michael was in between the two. Still, I liked all three main characters, I thought they were cool. I wasn't fond of some of the other characters (like Trevor's ICP-looking friend and Maude). Poor Lazlow, though. Still, the game did have plenty of "nasty" (to put in in a more PG way) people and so some of the characters were that much more fun to "take out." As Franklin (spoiler alert!) I didn't kill Trevor or Michael, I chose to take out Steve instead, since he suggested I kill one of my cohorts, plus he was one of the "nasty" characters (meaning he violated the Wil Wheaton philosophy). I did enjoy the game and thought it was beautiful and fun, but too short. I've barely spent any time in GTA Online, but that may change soon. I was, however, pleased with the character I created. Ok, that said, I'm going to get back to watching the video.
