A couple of questions...

[DinnerX]

Yes. I don't know the propper name, I've always called it an Englishman's knot. It pulls your fingers in toward the middle of your palm, and gets painful. I have it on my left hand, and so I can't use WASD and surrounding keys well. I can get it fixed, but I'm avoidng it for now, for various reasons. Typing and most everyday things don't affect it, but certain finger movements make it act up.

Ow.

If the key board hurts because it's flat, maybe a rounded ergonomic keypad would help. I only know of one brand, nostromo, and I don't know how well it works or how easy it is to setup. Just a suggestion. May not be worth it.

A small table can be used for a keyboard and mouse on the couch. Some fancy mouses actually work on some couches if that sounds comfier.

Is your TV HD? Games will be blurry if not.

What inputs does your TV have? Any VGA, DVI, or HDMI?

My TV is a CRT. The only imputs are an RGB (which I have yet to get anything to work with), and 3 component/S-video.

Yeah, I'm making this hard. For a while I've been wanting to make an under TV box to play only PC games off of, but I would like to avoid having to use icons and such. Just travel around the Steam client through a flowing menu, like an Xbox dashboard or PS3 dashboard. But I do not have the talent to create that.

EDIT: I'm going to mainly stick to coop games (L4D, Liked the look of Payday: The Heist). I do plan on playing others. What games would you guys suggest? I'm also interested in strategy games, and suggestions there?

One last question, do we have any ideas where they will go with Steam on PS3? If they give wider support and use of mods/custom maps/other player made things, I would buy a PS3 in a heartbeat. (I'm keeping my 360 for Shmups and other exclusives, I feel there is enough there to justify keeping it.)
