Looking to use Linux as OS in STB media streaming device. So many to choose from (and many suck). Can anyone recommend a good Linux "mini PC" XBMC video box?
Was hoping to buy a 4GB RAM 32GB/SSD "mini pc" set-top box to decode/play media files. SO many options but many look good on paper but actually suck. It's almost impossible to buy a good one (here's my eBay seach) without an expert opinion. Ultimately, I'd love something that can run Ubuntu or Mint (or even dual boot between that and Android). Anyone have any recommendations? The hardware out there is ridiculous, and even if you get the best specs, you might be stuck without updates and no firmwares, etc. Any help appreciated.

Fancy two letters commands
I recently met two fancy two letters long but very powerful commands i.e. tc and ss
I'm wondering what other short but strong commands do you know?
Cheers

I am the CEO of an indie game development company facing bankruptcy after having their game featured by both Google and Apple. AMA!
My Short Bio: I'm the CEO of an indie game development team 6 (3 on a salary) man strong, located in Finland. I've been in this business for close to 4 years now. I've put my heart and soul into this, survived through panic attacks and constant disappointment. I did this because I wanted to be passionate about something again, after not knowing what I wanted to do for 7 years while studying something I had no passion for.
We jumped into this together with my brother, just the two of us. We didn't know much about developing games when we started, my brother had coded a couple of simple ones using Flash in his spare time. I myself had no experience what so ever. We were gamers, we thought we could be great game developers.
For the past two years we have been working on a game series called Battlestation and our second Kickstarter is about to fail once again. Our newest mobile release Battlestation: Harbinger Google Play (Battlestation: Harbinger Apple App Store) was a huge success for us in a sense that the game was featured by both Apple and Google as "Best new games" and "New&updated" respectively. Still the sales are not enough to cover the development expenses.
I know a lot of the industry, ask me anything!
My Proof: Battlestation Twitter
Update: Oh wow this is blowing up! Our home pages can't sustain the traffic! I'm so humbled by all of your questions. I will do my best to answer all of them!

Asked to pay $22,000 by popular YouTuber for our game to be featured.
Hi all, Ben Tester here from indie game devs, Wales Interactive (developers of Soul Axiom, Master Reboot and Infinity Runner)
On one of my normal PR rounds I received an email from a very popular YouTuber with a few million subscribers offering to have one of our games featured on their YouTube channel for a rate of either $17,600 for 2-3 talking points or $22,000 for 2-3 talking points AND a description link.
Upon reading this my jaw dropped. Is this real? Are there developers out there that pay that sort of money to have their game featured in one video?
OK, so it's obvious that receiving a LP'er or YT star feature your game is great promotion and will certainly help spread the news. It will also no doubt have some sort of effect on your sales, right?
An interesting Tweet I saw from SteamSpy this afternoon claims there doesn't seem to be much of a correlation between number of Steam sales a game has after it's been covered by a popular YTer (in this example, they used TotalBiscuit and up to a period of 20 days after the feature of an indie game on YouTube).
EDIT: Since this was posted, SteamSpy have Tweeted that there is some correlation between the two. This can be found here
So my questions are...
-
Are there any devs out there that have paid to be featured on YouTube? If so, was it worth it? or do you regret the decision?
-
Are there any devs out there that have noticed a correlation between their sales and a popular YouTube feature?
If you have any other comments on the matter, please feel free to join in!
Cheers all, Ben.
EDIT: I must stress that I emailed the YTer first to ask if they would like to receive a free code for our game to play for their channel. The YTer did NOT mention anything about making a 'positive' promotion nor was this a scam from a fake YTer. Finally I'd like to state that I refused the offer.

Please share your resources about posing models
The internet is full of information about almost all aspects of photography, but I'm still having difficulty with finding information about posing models. I don't really know where to start and I never know how to pose my subjects.
I've learned a lot about classical poses from this video. Do any of you have links to more videos like this or any other tutorial-type stuff about posing? Please share!
