Sounds good, as long as you don't mind!

Yeah, it's alright. PM it to me whenever it's done.

So, do you not want anyone to draw your OC? I need to do something productive, and I've been wanting to practice my drawing.

I can't draw digitally, but I'm a mediocre artist traditionally. If you want it scanned from paper, I can whip something up, but I understand that digital would probably be more to your liking.

Here's an idea. Traditionally draw it, and I can trace it in Inkscape to convert it to digial. I kinda want to do something productive anyways.

Also, to the OP, add a cutie mark image by itself. It's halfway cut off in the reference.

I tried my luck at the Halloween giveaway, no luck. Might as well try again!

What kind of jobs are listed for your channel?

Pretty much anything you can do to help. You can edit, make videos, give ideas, anything you can do to help.

And yes, I'm part of all of this.

Thanks, I appreciate it a lot. Can't wait to see it!

Here it is.

This one was fun. Inkscape kept on crashing every time I tried doing the eyes, so yeah. Here it is now. Hope you like it.

EDIT: Then I forgot the wings >.< Added them in.

I'll give it a shot. Sorry I haven't taken this sooner, I haven't been logged in for a while. Anyways, I'll do it. Nice OC design, by the way.

Holy McGloopenstein there are a lot of entries. May as well try my luck, though. ENTRY.

And, same as Cyangust, there is a distinctive lack of pony in my room.

GOD DAMMIT BRAIN I HAVEN'T HEARD IT IN 6 MONTHS THEN SUDDENLY OH MY GOD YOU JUST GOTTA HEAR IT I MEAN REALLY

No replies, been 6 hours.

Meh, why not. I'll start working on it. Nothing better to do. Just don't expect the mane to be the best, I'm still just starting out.

And, thanks to sleep deprivation, it's finished.

The mouth was kinda awkward, since the coat color was practically the same color, but I tried my best. Let me know what you think, I'll change anything you need me to, make it bigger, change the color, etc.

I also made the little bits in the hair gold, because it didn't really look right having it all be the same color in my opinion. Again, I'll change it if you want me to.

I...

I really like it!~ But on my profile page all I get is a bunch of plot. XD Would it be too much of a bother to move them a bit, if it is, don't bother to. I can keep it just like this. :3 Thank you!

What's your screen resolution? Because the background it looks normal for me. Could you send a screencap of it, so I can fix it?

Here it is.

I know, it probably doesn't look very good by itself. It will look better once it's set as the profile background, blocking off the empty space.

And yeah, it looks low-res. I had to save it as JPEG or else the image would be too large.

And that's just making an excuse for it, and for people to lazy to learn about what they're buying. It's not that hard to look up GPUs and see what games they can run. and CPUs are so easy to pick that's not even a issue.

What do you mean "making an excuse for it"? Making an excuse for the Steam Console to be a good idea? I don't know about you, but I don't think somebody should be forced to do 12 hours of research to find compatible parts for a good PC just so they can play a video game.

I'll try making it. I'll also probably vector both of the images so it fits in with everything.

I'll get to work on it right away. Any special requests besides the background?

Why don't you ask the OP to add that information into the original post then?

 

Anyway, when explained like that, I get it, I guess.

Sorry, It's just that the post I made explaining it was on the same page as yours. So yeah. It's just getting annoying trying to explain "Valve is targeting console gamers and will make it as simple as possible, having a Casual, Hardcore, Mid-Range, etc kind of categorization for the different models" And that translates to "blah blah blah console blah blah cheap blah blah same as a pc"

So basically... I'm going to be putting Steam onto my TV to play games? Wouldn't that just be like hooking my computer up to the TV with a HDMI cable? I don't get it.

*Slams head on table*

I EXPLAINED IT ALREADY. WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP ASKING THIS SAME GODDAMN QUESTION?!

Valve is targeting a larger audience of gamers. Console Gamers. Believe it or not, console gamers are more prevalent than PC.

Explain that to mine then, I actually get minor lag on really intensive games like AC3 during sections with a lot going on like chases. I didn't say consoles were bad, but you can build a PC that overpowers them easy and for not that much. 

 

 

I am a console gamer, I literally own everything from a Atari 2600 to a Xbox 360 and a Wii, and I plan to build a gaming PC someday as well because I'll play on pretty much anything.

 

And you're missing my point, the fact there's going to be multiple versions with different capabilities is going to make just as confusing. 

No, I responded to your point already. From the same post:

And for different models, it will most likely be put into the bear basics for names. It will be less intimidating to decide between a "Hardcore or Casual" Console than deciding between a

Diamond 7870PE52GV Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFire X Support

or

Asus GeForce GTX760-DC2OC-2GD7 GTX 760 1x Dual-Link DVI-D 1x Dual-Slot

Sure, people may understand what all this mean, but really, not everybody does. Not to mention, this is only one part, theres the similar decision between CPUs and Motherboards.

I mean really, do you expect Valve to make console gamers have to learn what every part of the console does for it to work?

Yes, but console versions of games are specifically tuned to work on the weaker console hardware, this would just be playing the PC versions. 

*facepalm*

You still aren't seeing my point. I'm not arguing about the performance and hardware. I'm saying that Valve is targeting a larger audience, CONSOLE GAMERS. Whether you want to believe it or not, a majority of gamers are console gamers.

And for "customizability" it will most likely be put into the bear basics for names. It's less intimidating to decide between a "Hardcore or Casual" Console than deciding between a

Diamond 7870PE52GV Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFire X Support

or

Asus GeForce GTX760-DC2OC-2GD7 GTX 760 1x Dual-Link DVI-D 1x Dual-Slot

Sure, people may understand what all this mean, but really, not everybody does. Not to mention, this is only one part, theres the similar decision between CPUs and Motherboards.

And, as Katana said earlier:

Here's the steps for a PC gaming machine in the living room, as it is.

 

-Make a list of parts on Newegg that fit your price range, including a full copy of Windows.

-Buy the parts, collect them on a workbench

-Assemble a computer, hook it up to your TV and spend half a day installing Windows on it, as well as updates and necessary programs.

-Install Steam.

 

Then, each time you want to play after coming home from work:

-Switch to HDMI1, boot up the computer

-Take your wireless keyboard and mouse from a drawer, and log into your Windows account.

-Use the mouse to open up Steam

-Open Steam Big Picture

-Sit back, relax, and enjoy your living room PC!

 

Here's how it will go on a Steam Machine:

-Buy a Steam Machine

-Hook it up to your TV, then log into Steam!

 

And when you want to play after coming home from work:

-Pick up your controller on the table, and press the center button.

But here's the thing, the $200 model will probably only play the most resource-light games, and you can hook a PC to a TV in a multitude of ways, HDMI output, media streaming systems, ect. 

The Xbox 360 can play Battlefield 3 at a solid 30 FPS, and it's only $180.

Anyways, that isn't the point I'm trying to make. As I already said, the Steam Box isn't being made for people who already have powerful PCs for gaming. A lot of people don't want to buy or upgrade a computer because they think it's too expensive, complicated, and/or just don't like the Keyboard and Mouse setup.

I don't get it, like at all. As it stand there's no reason to get one of these instead of just building a PC and installing Steam on it. I forsee this winding up just being just a novelty like the Ouya is turning out to be. 

I don't think I'll get it...I can do all of this with my new laptop. TV? Got an hdmi cable with my name on it. Gamepad? Tons of my games support it, the few that don't have mods. Steam? Already on it. Customization? Sorta (but I don't like customizing in my case, but a desktop can do this) Living room? How about anywhere? I don't mean to attack it, but I don't understand it....am I missing something?

The Steam Box isn't simply "Oh, you want to play your favorite Steam games in your living room? Here's a Steam Box!"

They're targeting a larger audience, namely Console Gamers or people who can't afford (or intimidated by price) by a high-end gaming PC/Laptop they can play all their favorite games on. I mean, I can't blame them. An initial $200 pricetag is much prettier than a $1000 one. If you already have a good PC to run your games on, it is pretty much just the novelty of playing games in your living room or friend's house without having to lug your tower around. Having an even larger audience will most likely increase the sales of pretty much every game on the Steam marketplace and, I'm praying this will happen, will lead up to the sudden release of Half Life 3.

Also, with the controller, in the announcement, it "tricks" older games into thinking it's being controlled with a keyboard and mouse, and is extremely customizable.
