Some thoughts on the Shadowrun series

Great article. I love all 3 games and I had very different experiences with each one since I decided to play completely different characters. Like some of you I also tend to create a clear background for the character and stick to it throughout the story.
I played a bit of the pen and paper RPG but what I'm really looking forward is the Battletech game which I'm a big fan of.

A note about the sources of our information and how we really don't rip others off

This is my only source of gaming information so I really appreciate that you cover important issues and news, even if they were covered before somewhere else. I don't read somewhere else!
And I feel you always mention your sources and link to them. I even discovered most of these other places, that I don't visit regularly, because of GOL.
Keep up the great work!

Quoting: TheBoss
Quoting: ShaoluRandom idea: What if there were a tasteful set badges or something that could be shared with Colossal Order and others? It would help these games and this site get recognition at the same time.

We had Sobkas working on a congrats image, but he's been busy with stuff and it wasn't final.

We may have some sort of badges or something next year.

I think badges would be great to give to all the top spots in each category. And maybe a special GOTY page/section here in the website. It could have a list of the winners for every year, some pictures and such.

GOL GOTY Awards Coming Up, What Do You Want To See?

I think categories is the best and genre can be a good way to do it. Its nice to have a top 3 on each genre that you know you can pick up if you want to try out a new game. I always found it strange to have a FPS competing with a platformer or a strategy game for example.
But at the same time there can be general awards: best story, best gameplay, best graphics, best sound, best music, best port, best technical quality, best day one linux release, "best game I never played", etc... and of course LINUX GAME OF THE YEAR! :)
It would be nice to have other awards for best porter, best store, best linux support, etc...

This will be exciting!

Telltale games and Hearthstone are the port's I'm most eager to see. And the ones I was hopeless about, so maybe there is still hope after all...

Quoting: peteSounds similar to the problem I had, but with Schenker XMG P502 PRO (Clevo P150EM) and a Nvidia 670MX. From one day to another nvidia stoped working.
Took me some messing around with it...

This is how I got it back up:
- use the xorg edgers ppa
- install nvidia-340 (the others like 346 didn't work)
- deaktivate xorg edgers ppa (so no new updates can mess things up)
- install primusrun from git (to get Metro Redux working)

I hope I didn't forget anything, really took some time...
Thanks for the tip, I will try it next week, because I'm traveling this week. But I'm using the nvidia-340, I guess the only difference is deactivating the ppa.
The primusrun is only for the Metro Redux?
