Seemingly unfair, untimely and unforgiving deaths which are also permanent.
Oh wow, games are getting more realistic every day. :)

Volo Airsport, An Air Gliding Game Released For Linux, We Have Keys To Throw At You

As a loyal penguin I am perfectly content right here on the ground. Flying is so overrated anyway. I mean, what's the big deal? A humble penguin should not engage in such reckless activities anyway. We penguins say: when on ice you feel nice, fly through the sky - sure way to die.

Could still try it in a video game though. Purely for science, of course.

Quoting: coeseta

Exactly my thoughts when I read the quote.
Oh come on, if they want to say PC, let them have it. It is just as meaningless as the whole Linux vs GNU/Linux debate. Sometimes the distinction is important, but most of the time it is not.

Nothing is released on Linux until it is released on Linux.

Please do not buy games based on promises or rumours just because they are on sale. In the best case you are depriving the Linux porters of their payment, and in the worst case you are just buying a Windows game.

I am a huge fan of Penumbra series, and enjoyed Amnesia, so I have really high expectations for this one. By the way, Amnesia and A Machine For Pigs should not be mentioned in the same sentence. :P

Get Your Hands On A Steam Controller Early, If You're A Developer

I wonder if this is actually some sort of "Developer Edition", and if so, how it differs from the consumer version?

Caves of Qud Science Fantasy Roguelike Now In Early Access For Linux, Some Thoughts
16 Jul 2015 at 7:36 pm UTC

I am usually not that focused on graphics, and have nothing against retro look, but this is pushing it. Even among indie games, I would consider this to be extremely niche.

End Of An Era, LinuxGames Website Looks To Be Shutting Down
16 Jul 2015 at 7:25 pm UTC

Makes me sad when anything Linux fails, but a website needs to be taken care of and nurtured, otherwise it will just fade away. And that is exactly what has happened. I do hope that LinuxGames contributors and editors will find a new place to write a lot of exciting stuff. Like this one is pretty decent. :)

Been skeptical about this game, but if Paradise Lost is released for Linux, I may reconsider.
