Win A Copy Of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Aspyr is responsible for porting two of my favorite games, XCOM and Civ V, so I'm very thankful for them for that alone. Moreover, their commitment to quality ports is something every publisher and developer should aspire (:P) to.

And GOL... What to say about you guys? Many times I have tried to find other news sources about Linux gaming, but I'm yet to find anything that comes even close to what GOL offers. It's pretty hard to find a website about anything that can combine frequent posting without letting go of quality, but somehow you manage that. Keep up the awesome work!

SteamOS & Steam's Big Picture Mode Now Have Better Filter Options

Quoting: SkullyHere is games I can remember have broken controller support for xbox360 controllers using xpad kernel driver. (Same driver steamos is using)
I'm not sure which driver this problem is related to, but Awesomenauts doesn't work that well with a 360 gamepad either. The controls are fine, but the screen shows, e.g., "Button 1", instead of "A". Apparently, Ronimo doesn't seem so interested in fixing this: Your text to link here... [External Link]

I have almost the exact same problem playing L4D2 with the 360 gamepad (yeah, yeah, I know). The screen shows keyboard buttons instead of 360 ones.

Wow, is that true? And I, in my layman ignorance, thought OpenGL was still years behind DirectX feature-wise. Nice to know. :)

What happens if someone from an unlocked region buys the game on Steam and gifts it to someone from a locked region? :whistle:
