If you were thinking of treating yourself to one of those mysterious Steam Boxes for Christmas, then chances are you've already bitten the Black Friday/Cyber Monday bullet, so sorry we couldn't get this episode up any sooner. Now might be a good time to look at the current state of Valve's hardware eco-system though - Patrick's been using the Steam Controller for a few week's now so we thought it might be useful to see how he's getting on with it. There have also been some reports that Valve's Steam OS might not be running games as well as the competition. All this and more on another hardware-focused #NOTplaying Podcast!
