I haven't gamed on a PC in ages, but this SteamBox thing is really interesting to me. They've been hard at work porting their system to Linux over the last year and have 100 maybe titles right now.

I was curious and installed the Steam client on my Ubuntu Laptop, a modest i5 with Intel HD 4000 graphics. I tried Team Fortress2. I sucked at the keyboard controls, but the game play/graphics are generations better than DZ on Android. If MF could port their game to SteamOS (basically a fork of Ubuntu 12.04) that would be pretty awesome. With launch in 2014, we're probably talking about DZ2 at this point. I know MF has tried to get into Stream in the past... Dead Trigger was part of GreenLight...

Anyway, that hardware running DZ on the TV with good controller support would be pretty sweet.

Steam has sweet games. That's how I got hooked on the original counter-strike.
