Quoting: Brian LinuxI remember going to this site in the old days, sad day indeed. Also the one with guy smoking the pipe? Does anyone remember what the name of that site was? I

That was the Linux Game Tome and it provided a very useful database of games. It's something that should be replicated by someone else. Linux Games can suffer from lack of visibility.

That's why this site is important. I have bought a number of games after reading about them here.

Glad you like our stuff :)

Quoting: PerkeleenVittupThere's this new Linux gaming site coming up: http://www.linux-gamers.net/

That's hilarious, April 1st.

Edit: Just for reference, they aren't new. They were my other inspiration.

Quoting: XeekeiHonestly, I didn't even know about the site. Though that doesn't mean it wasn't a big deal. I hope Ryan can buy the domain.

Honestly, I hope buying it isn't needed.

Quoting: Ser Eduardo MogambroI'm not sure if "not being able to defend yourself" isn't a way they wanted the game to be. Actually the physics are pretty neat, if you ask me and you can "dodge" the missiles if you move at the right moment (and they can then hit another player ;))

This exactly, it tells you when a missile is heading your way, and I've managed to dodge a few quite easily.

Quoting: melkemindAnother problems is the sub-standard performance of Unity games on Linux. Wouldn't a Linux developer choose an engine that runs better on their own platform?

Unity Technologies is in the process of changing the way they handle their GL render by unifying it some. Also they're adding in GL4.5 support which will only be supported on Windows/Linux. Something not even Unreal has. As UE4 only supports up to GL4.1.

Indeed, that is something I look forward to. I do hope some developers update to the Unity versions that will have the new GL render in like some are doing with Unity 5 now. I fear it's a quite a while away though, and not many developers are even going to Unity 5 even now.

This should be fixed now, according to the spec remove the end date will give it a day status.

Quoting: ripperPlease stop embedding Twitch viewer in the articles, give just a link. If you don't have Flash installed, it pops up a download dialog in Firefox with a swf file, and that drives me crazy. Twitch deserves to be boycotted for that.

That's firefox behaviour, not twitch, go bug the firefox guys.

Quoting: KeizgonOkay, now I'm starting to get a bit annoyed with Steam's releases. The only way I can even notice this release was through GOL (thanks), but honestly there should be a feature in Steam to see all new releases, not just ones Steam thinks is "popular"... The only way I know how to notice these things is through upcoming releases, but how the hell was I suppose to notice this popping out of the blue? Makes me question what else did I miss, and that's not cool.

You can see all new Steam releases here: http://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=&sort_by=_ASC&os=linux&page=1#sort_by=Released_DESC&os=linux&page=1

It doesn't add in older games that gain a Linux version though, unless Valve add it in themselves, so you still need to check us for those :P

Edit: Gave wrong link.
