The steam store currently going down like a sale is probably a good sign for this thing.

I admit it looks slightly odd but seeing someone holding it and the feedback from IGN make it make sense. The switch looks better but I've never enjoyed holding it wihtout some silicone grips on there. The weight is more of a concern but it seems to be in big iPad territory (I think it weighs similar to the bigger pro) so I'm hopeful it will be comfortable like IGN say it is.

On the Switch comparisons I understand them but I think this is going after a very different thing. I own a Switch for Nintendo games. The indies on it are a bonus. This is about playing nearly all games that come out portably and probably in addition to something else. They don't need this to do Switch numbers. They need it to sell enough to create the portable PC as a new market which I would guess is in the few million range. I don't think they will be expecting families, younger kids and too many non-pc gamers to be getting this thing, especially initally.

I'm also not sure a cheaper but more limited version would have much appeal. The market for people who want to play only less demanding PC games portably might include me but is probably not a particularly big audience. And they could probably only get to this price with making a fair number of units. Similar lesser specced small scale things like the Aya are in the $800-1000 range. Playing big games on a portable is definitely not for everyone but the existance of a Switch Lite that's doing pretty well sort of tells you there are plenty of people who are probably happy playing the bigger Nintendo games only in portable mode.

This is awesome, thank you. Perhaps I've missed it but some sort of key for which ones are being talked over might be useful. Just so we have the sock puppets ready to do our own Giant Bomb theatre for the others.

I would love to see the Robotron design come back! I think these were limited PAX designs, but I would also buy the Vib Ribbon and Game Genie shirts instantly.

Vib Ribbon would be very much my thing too.

I'm in the EU and if you fancy low level play or some Salmon Run that would be great.

@the_devoid: It starts up spins the fans for a couple of seconds then restarts. Every now and then it gets as far as the BIOS splash screen and then does the same.

No voltage change, I was just putting a tiny boost to the multiplier to see how it would work out. I did get the 2500k near launch so it has more than done its time I guess. Everything around it has been replaced at least once bar the fans and case. I'm lucky enough to have the spare cash to build something new so a Sunday on PC Part Picker looks like my future. Thanks for the advice.

So I thought I'd try a modest (200 MHz) overclock using Easy Tuner which seems was a bad move.

I got one boot to a windows BSOD of inaccessible boot device and now it won't even make it to the BIOS. I've tried resetting the CMOS both through the jumper and battery and swapping the memory into a different slot all with no luck. Anything else I should try before I start scraping together the pennies for replacement parts?

These Armadillo-bear things are my favourite critters I've found so far. You get 4m high ones that waddle about and every now and again hold their shaking heads in their hands. I feel you Howard.
