This week I havent played anything yet, last week I gave Frozen Synapse a go and it is really interesting to play. It is an action turn based strategy game. How can a turn based game be an action game? that is the interesting bit.

fanzy some 3D gaming though.

Finishing Blood II on an old Dell D600 with Windows XP because my replacement drive still has not shown up because the bloody shipping company did not get the defective one sent to Western Digital until about two weeks ago despite me sending it out over a month before and paying $40 dollars to ship it.

After that, I have large pile of native Linux games I have got on sale to burn through when I do finally get the new drive: the Rochard "Hard Times" DLC, the Dungeons of Dredmor DLCs, FTL: Faster Than Light, and the games in the Humble Double Fine Bundle.

And I should play through Amnesia again to get ready for the sequel, and actually finish "Justine".

I've been playing NS2, Stealth Bastard, Brütal Legend and many others. I've also been training for the impending doom, which goes by the name of Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs, by playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent. ;)

These days I've been playing Master of Orion.
It was a sale on GoG.com.

Unpacked via innoextract on my user's home directory and run with my distro's DosBox.
At first time it was a bit difficult to get timidity do the Roland emulation and been detected by DosBox (Gnome 3 / Pulseaudio system).

But it's worth the effort.

Just bought Kentucky Route Zero on steam (on sale at the minute), and it's great. Lovely stylised graphics and great sound, and a good story so far too.

I'm planning on installing yquake2 and running through Quake II for old times sake. I have no memory of ever playing the expansions, so I might have too grab and play them too. ^_^
New Hamish 30 Sep 2013
I definitely can recommend playing Quake II through Yamagi.

Currently revisitng TF2 after taking a year or so off it. Also since Ive just moved from Gnome-Ubuntu to Arch i'm not getting as much gaming as i would like. Playing the original Deus Ex through Wine.

Are you using an OpenGL renderer with it?

It makes things run smoother in WINE, in my experience.

Knytt Underground, at present.  I like it!  Controls are very comfortable, and my little kid likes it so far :D

I am indeed, and it works fine in that respect. Since my switch from ubuntu (where my winecfg was set up and i was using the wine1.7 repo) however i seem to have lost my sound and the mouse jerks around really wierdly. Going to mess around with the wine library settings and see if i can fix a few things.

Edit:

I fixed my issues so if anyone is wondering here is how i did it. The sound is fixed by getting the lib32-alsa-plugins and just for good measure the lib32-libpulse. The mouse doesn't seem so bad after a bit of tinkering in the xorg settings with the acceleration. Horray for arch and its lib32 packges and wines helpful debug output.

To actually get back to native games, well, I am currently going through the original Trine. And I played a few bot rounds of ET:QW last night.

Playing through the complete Penumbra: Collection again now that my support ticket has been answered, starting with Overture.

Dogs are easier to kill than I remembered. Is my singing "here doggy, doggy, doggy" supposed to be bad when it comes to appreciating the atmosphere? :P

FORCED Co-OP. I love this game.
