Mesa users be warned. Linux version of Worms W.M.D. is quite sketchy, and needs a bunch of workarounds, like setting LANG and Mesa GL version overrides [External Link], and even then it may not be stable. Worms Clan Wars is even worse.

Humble Indie Bundle 19 adds in Action Henk and JYDGE if you pay more than the average

I think I will skip this one. I used to buy a lot of bundles, but then I figured that if I don't spend €1 or €2 or €5 on a bunch of games that I might play at some point (yeah, right), I can get a €20 game that I really want instead. Math and self-control, two skills that have eluded me for far too long! :P

Unfortunately it is stuff like this that gives Linux a bad reputation among game developers. Works fine on Windows, export to Linux and get all sorts of input, rendering, and performance issues. Except it is not Linux that's broken, but Unity.

This looks great. Even the first person perspective looks very playable, which is how I prefer to play racing games. I hope the game gets finished.

I don't know. The whole Linux push from Valve could have been a play to drive a hard bargain with Microsoft. I guess we'll find out how dedicated to Linux Valve actually is soon enough.

AT SUNDOWN, a top-down shooter where light is your enemy

Thought the same about the trailer. Could not understand how the mechanics are supposed to work.

The 'Humble Staff Picks Bundle: Scribble' seems like a nice deal for Linux gamers

Everything with the exception of Aragami has been bundled before. Heck, Tempest is bundled right now in another cheap bundle. Bought it for Aragami, but not very impressed otherwise.

Quoting: ZlopezThis time I got a popup about the survey. Only one I got this year.
Once a year seems about right judging from my experience.
