Hello, you holiday penguins! The festivities are slowly starting to come to an end but I figured I would still brighten your monitors with a Friday Livestream! Yes, even Christmas Day festivities aren't able to come between me and the GOL Friday tradition!

Developer WayForward has been developing games for consoles for well over a decade, and have now released their first game for Linux.

We announced back in February that the developers of Republique were working on a Linux port, but needed some middleware to add Linux support. However it seems like this never happened, and the efforts to bring the game to Linux have been abandoned.

I know everyone doesn't celebrate the same occasions and holidays and what-not, so I will simply say Happy Holidays and wish you all the very best.

The story driven puzzle platformer is now officially available for Linux with the Foxtales DLC and is currently on sale.

Roll up, roll up, it's time to empty your wallets. Steam is having a big winter sale with an insane amount of games on sale, and some serious bargains.

The last GOL Survey results of our Linux & SteamOS user survey for 2015, wow what a year! The next survey will be available on January 1st and run for two weeks as usual.

Join top CIA tough guy, Snake Logan as he battles for his life against ferocious monsters created by an evil and twisted mastermind. A free game now available on Linux thanks to GOG.

This one is quite vague, but a new job posting may suggest that a Linux port of Elite: Dangerous isn't out of the question.

Another one, oh boy! In the same day we have Saints Row IV and now Saints Row: Gat out of Hell too! What a nice early holiday present.

Oh baby! Saints Row IV is now available on SteamOS and Linux, and I can't wait to give this insane game a game.

Insurgency was very exciting to have on Linux, as it's the most tactical FPS game we have available. The new updates have made it much more fun too, with gamepad support and decent Steam Controller support added in.

I love keeping an eye on Maia, as it's one of the only building sims that isn't going for some sort of retro style. Progress isn't quick, but each new release does push out some big new stuff, and this new release is no different.

Bombernauts is pretty much bomberman on a year long diet of steroids, as it's insane. We should get a game of this going sometime.
