Some pics would be nice, but I'm pretty sure the game will be awesome, so expect my preorder (-:

:/
I already have all Introversion games except Multiwinia and Subversion.

My favourite game of the voxatron bundle so far is Blocks That Matter. I just love all the references to other games, as well as the gameplay itself.
Second is Voxatron (which is the only one I completed). Gish I already had.
Chocolate castle and Zen puzzle garden are fun and cute puzzle games.
The Binding of Isaac seems a bit boring, despite the completely crazy intro and weird objects (which never tell you what they do :/ ). The enemies just seem too easy to beat, even though I haven't finished the game yet. I especially do not like not being able to save... and random dungeons...
Jasper's journey I haven't played much yet, but looks like a standard platformer.

Yeah, that is the Wikipedia thumbnail. :P

I actually have two screens, a 17'' Acer AL1716 LCD and a 17'' Samsung SyncMaster 763MB CRT configured in Zaphod Mode. :D

Anyway, here is the page I was actually trying to link to:

Rah, need to register to comment. So I'll just comment here:
I would have added emulators (zsnes, dosbox&co), some engines like ScummVM or [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_Game_Studio']Adventure Game Studio[/URL] (official site seems to be down at the moment :( ), as well as gog.com (although I never used it because I still prefer to buy native games) to make it a bit more complete. :)

edit: Oh, and PlayOnLinux.
P.S.: Are there any problems with steamguard and creating a new steam installation for separate steam games? Because that's what PlayOnLinux seems to do. I haven't really used it much yet, except for installing steam and starcraft. I don't want Valve to think I'm sharing my account with multiple users...

Oh, sorry! I was talking about Minecraft.

The issue is just that, the lighting is very dark even with in-game brightness at maximum.

Regards.

What game?

I would submit a bug report to them directly. I personally don't have any issues with brightness.

Worked perfectly in a ThinkPad W520 with Ubuntu 11.10.

The only issue is that the lights in the game appears darker than in other OS... even with in-game brightness at maximum.

Any idea or similar case?

I would suggest sometime giving Ironhide a go, Bumblebee is an old project which was forked into The Bumblebee Project and now Ironhide.

Congratulations on getting optimus to work. I tried bumblebee on a Dell XPS15 but had no luck getting it to work despite all the suggestions from the the developer and my own researches. The support issue was eventually closed with no resolution and the Dell has now been relegated to running Windows 7 (which it does quite well).

From now on I'm sticking with ATI. I've had a number of different ATI systems and they've all run with no problems using the propriety fglrx driver.

Thanks for pointing out the error but I still prefer my word :p

Ps. I am a brit so the correct way for me would be [URL='http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/voila']voila[/URL] ;)

Nice to know someone actually read the article though and well enough to nit pick :D

bullet candy perfect and scoregasm are similar in some ways but both are fun and run smoooooth.
irukandji (from same developer) refuses to start: Assertion 's' failed at pulse/simple.c:256, function pa_simple_free(). Aborting. aoss does not help, so I guess unlike the other 2 it wants pulse in a bad way... and pulse was the 1st thing to vanish on this install.

I am still waiting for interview with Charlie's games.

I am not quite sure how they can get the dual-licensing working with the GPL. Might be best to use a license that does not have anti-linking protections in this case.

EDIT: Okay, having read this it makes more sense now:

QuoteThe lone developer of the Desura client writes about his intentions to create an open-source projectout of it under the GPLv3. Th server-side portion of the distribution platform would remain closed-up.

they are not even saying they plan to add linux support later. and scoregasm is not really my type. jose

I also thought about writing about this "Indie Royal" but decided against it.
With only one Linux game in the bundle we support Windows by donating.

I even sent them a message saying what I thing about this bundle.
And yet I would be more then happy to publish about them when they offer much more Linux games in the bundle.

If you email Humble they will give you a key for Blocks That Matter :)

still no desura key though :/

btw, so we have like 5 games added now, got to wonder if they all got the crappy deal like steelstorm did ? and I still don't see why they doing it like this, but that must be me. Release a full bundle and am sure people pay more then for the 1 game at start.
