But the real question is where can I get such cutesy penguin myself? :)

If you act fast you can grab a key for the demo of Disgaea 2 and it runs on Linux already

Quoting: tuubiBagged a key. Thanks for the tip Liam (and nameless GOL follower). I've heard good things about these games.
I am not actually nameless. :P

It officially launches on 30 January, so I was quite pleasantly surprised to find out that it runs on Linux already. Didn't even have to select any beta or anything. <3

Quoting: Al3sI'm surprised the Steam Controller is the most used. I've never used it but I thought people wouldn't want to risk it and the xbox360 is proven to be good already.

I'll keep an eye on it next time I have to buy one, but I'm using a xbo360 at the moment and I have a thrustmaster gpx still in reserve
I have to admit that XBox 360 controller is a more comfortable controller as far as contollers go. But Steam Controller has completely replaced all other input devices for me, and I have not touched a keyboard and mouse ever since I got it. Granted it's not really for competitive play, but I can do ok against bots in CS:GO on easy to medium difficulty with a Steam Controller. I also completed Postal 2 with a Steam Controller. I still struggle with RTS games where you have to click all over the screen, but it's doable. All without lifting by butt from the sofa. :)

I wonder what machines both 32bit users have? :)

Solaroids: Prologue is coming to Linux thanks to FNA

If FNA is the same as XNA, but works on on all platforms, why would anyone use XNA in the first place? Honest question.

Happy New Year from GamingOnLinux

Quoting: NovenTheHeroI am just waiting for my free key to arrive in my email.
They were distributed two weeks ago. I am afraid that chances of getting a key are slim at this point.

Interstellar Marines, the once promising sci-fi FPS is still alive and a new update is out

I was excited about Interstellar Marines long time ago. Unfortunately it went nowhere, and there still does not appear to be any plan or direction as to what this game is supposed to be or how to get there. Which is damn sad...

really? semantics? you realize the "os" in floss is for open source?

The semantical difference is important.

I am sorry, but it is not. Naming wars are not appreciated here as stated in posting rules.
