My poor wallet doesn't know what's hit it this week. :O

Metro 2033 Redux & Metro Last Light Redux Launch On Linux, Sorta (UPDATED)

Mmm, still "not available on your current platform" when I try to launch it from the store page.

Oh well, hopefully it becomes available before the weekend. This (2033 Redux) is something that I'll be installing and playing ASAP.

This isn't for me. If anyone wants to watch me play a game, they'll have to come watch my monitor.

Good video, well put together, and very enjoyable to watch!

I'd not heard of openttd before, but I see it's in Arch's community repository, so I'll have to check that out. :D

Grr. I wish people would stop referring to Windows builds like this.

That aside, I'll be getting this on day one. It looks amazing.

Football Manager 2015 Released This Week

It'd be a Steam Machine console exclusive, but can you play it with a controller? It isn't listed as controller-compatible as far as I can tell.

It's nice to see that FM2014 wasn't a one-off in any case. Unfortunately, I don't care for football, so I've not played a football manager game since Ultimate Soccer Manager on the Amiga.

I shudder to think how much money it has made me part with between then and now! :whistle:

GOL Survey Results: October

Looking good. :)

There's a small typo in the third question (did you use wine) -- games has an extra 's'.

I'm not convinced that the windows partition question is quite right. I think a better question would be:
Do you have a Windows partition which you use for gaming
  • Yes

  • No -- I deleted it last month

  • No -- I deleted it over a month ago

  • No -- I don't use it for gaming


It'd give it a bit more scope, while retaining the same the same focus.

Just my thoughts.

I use propriety nvidia drivers because nouveau was always buggy for me. It'd break every alternate kernel update, and bug reports never seemed to go anywhere. Now that gaming has taken off on Linux, I don't think I'll be switching away from propriety drivers fro a while.
