I'm a Linux gamer from Finland. I like reading, long walks on the beach, dying repeatedly in roguelikes and ripping and tearing in FPS games. I also sometimes write code and sometimes that includes hobbyist game development.

Find me in these places:

GOL Cast: Saving The World Through Puzzles in TRI

By Samsai,
So once again the world relies upon my puzzle solving skills. I feel sorry for the world already. At least we can take a look at what these interesting environments have to offer before certain doom. Let's see what TRI is all about...

GOL Cast: Dying For Greater Good in Life Goes On

By Samsai,
You know that I am often quite bad at platformers. Luckily this time the game actually requires me to get gruesomely killed to progress in this just released game. Like the title says, Life Goes On.

GOL Cast: Bureaucracy At Arstozkan Borders in Papers, Please

By Samsai,
Sometimes it would be awesome if you were given a job based on a lottery like in Arstozka, but putting me in a position of an immigration inspector might not be a great idea. Oh well, let's just do what the state says. Glory to Arstozka!

GOL Cast: Sipping On Absinthe in Spate

By Samsai,
Sipping on absinthe in a dark and potentially dangerous place doesn't seem like a good idea. But then again Spate is already pretty weird, so why not spice it up a bit more? Let's see what this piece of mystery and weirdness has to offer.

GOL Cast: Chasing Down Bandits in Braveland

By Samsai,
What would you do if a group of people just decided to ransack your village and leave you with basically nothing? Well you gather an army to get your stuff back with some extra compensation and that's exactly what we are going to do today!

GOL Cast: Exploring Ecosystems in Waking Mars

By Samsai,
Being an astronaut and exploring planets far away would be awesome, but sadly becoming an astronaut is really difficult and there won't be any missions to Mars or even Moon for a long time. Oh well, luckily we still have games that allow us to do that.

GOL Cast: Recovering Memories in Imagine Me

By Samsai,
You know, after playing various platformers in GOL Casts I've actually started to enjoy them more than I did before. Of course my platforming skills are still non-existant, but that has never stopped me before! Let the dying continue!

GOL Cast: Less Successful Space Exploration in Entropy

By Samsai,
Usually losing your ship to pirates calls for restarting that section of the game or loading a save, but in an MMO that means immediately losing 100k of virtual currency. Just thinking about all the equipment you could get with that makes me frown...

GOL Cast: Trying Not To Starve In Don't Starve

By Samsai,
Don't Starve is not just the name of the game, it's also your main objective along with staying out of the darkness, not going insane and not letting the beasts eat you alive. Following those words of wisdom might seem easy, but surviving in the world of Don't Starve won't be so easy.

GOL Cast: Catching Phantoms and Poltergeists in GhostControl Inc.

By Samsai,
In an early episode of GOL Cast I was the poltergeist, but today I am actually trying to catch them while managing my ghost busting business!

Experimenting with Steam's In-Home Streaming

By Samsai,
In-Home Streaming was part of the SteamOS announcement Valve made back in September and beta invites to the functionality have been sent to some people around the internet. Luckily I was part of that group and I can share some of it with you!

GOL Cast: Digging Deep in Dirt in SteamWorld Dig

By Samsai,
One interesting thing about indie games is that they combine things in completely new interesting ways. For example, who would've thought about mixing steam punkish robots and the western gold rush into a single game? Well, now that has been done by the developers of SteamWorld Dig!

GOL Cast: Crashing On Zombie Infested Islands in Estranged: Act I

By Samsai,
Ah, zombies. There can never be enough of them, right? Well, getting stranded on an island infested with the things after a storm nearly sinks your ship and drowns you might sound like a perfect vacation to you then.

GOL Cast: I Am So Godly in Reus

By Samsai,
Many games focus on smaller details, rather limited worlds and single important characters but sometimes you just need to kick back and assume a role of a god to whom the whole world is just a playground.

Introduction to Livestreaming on Linux Using Castawesome

By Samsai,
Livestreaming is seriously a lot of fun and it's something I've wanted to do for a long time. Thanks to projects like FFmpeg and Libav you can also do that on Linux with relative ease, but little under a year ago I started my own project to make it even easier.

GOL Cast: Playing With Magnetism in Teslagrad

By Samsai,
Some say that games are a form of art, which is easily believable when you take a look at the graphical style of games these days. This is true especially with many platformers which contain hand-drawn environments and characters, Teslagrad being one of them.

GOL Cast: Exploring The Troll Caves In Ravensword: Shadowlands

By Samsai,
I really like The Elder Scrolls games and I own nearly every one of them (except Morrowind, gotta get that someday) and I was really happy to see something similar pop up on Steam for Linux. So, let's take see what this game is all about!

GOL Cast: Let's (Maybe) Rescue Colonists in PixelJunk Shooter

By Samsai,
You know what happens in science fiction movies and books where people try to colonize distant unknown planets? Something obviously goes horribly wrong and the colonists are left to wait for rescue. That's why we are here!

GOL Cast: Being Extremely Tactical in Nuclear Dawn

By Samsai,
You've probably seen a bunch of articles related to this tactical FPS/RTS game running on the Source engine. Before buying it I had compared the screenshots and gameplay ideas to Natural Selection 2 and thought about skipping it. But thanks to Steam's Autumn Sale I decided to pick it up anyways, which turned out to be a good decision after all.

GOL Cast: Exploring Lovecraftian Dungeons in Eldritch

By Samsai,
I have played some roguelikes, including Nethack, Dungeons of Dredmor and Ancient Domains of Mystery, but I have kept my distance from these new FPS/Roguelike combos, that we have seen getting released over the past year. I have to say, if the other games are as good as Eldritch, I have no reason to avoid them anymore.
