Heroes of Newerth goes free-to-play (again)

I recommend mid wars, 5v5 matchmaking map with only one lane and almost no respawn timer. It's crazy fun, and people tend to rage less if you're bad in midwars.

Also, they've made it a lot more accessible recently, adding in things like range indicators and the like on skills, and having in game guides is just fantastic.

Oh god, I hope they don't release TF2, switching to Linux was the only way I stopped playing that game!

Unity 3D adds Linux support!

Quoting: "Soeb, post: 4719, member: 170"It appears that they'll only officially support Ubuntu with vendor drivers, at least initially. Which seems a splendid idea, in all fairness.
Yeah, pretty standard. No reason games made with it shouldn't work on other distros though.

Also, it's interesting to see all the news posts on kickstarter of games now supporting Linux.

Okay? Fortunately it's not 1998. And wine is not an emulator any more than mono or java is an emulator.

Quoting: "Alex V.Sharp, post: 4106, member: 136"for every 160$ contributed to the cause they will be able to preserve an acre of rainforests.
Wait. Can ANYBODY just go around buying random acres of rainforest for $160? Because I would definitely buy some rain forest if offered.

On topic: Was never much into Adventure game but Machinarium was pretty good, so I'll probably pick this up.
