How I Turned My PC Into A Gaming Console

Video Description

Ever since I moved my gaming PC into the living room, I wanted to complete the experience by trying to make it behave as close to a gaming console as I possibly could. That means, having my controller be able to wake it, have it launch into Steam's big picture mode, and having my AV-Receiver and TV turn on as well as switch to it. Did I succeed? Yes, and better than I had anticipated.
