Awesome!

I think I have a key for chapter one and two.
If someone wants to have it, drop a PM.

Valve makes adjustments to user reviews due to review bombing with 'histogram' charts

Quoting: BeamboomI long for the day when the world no longer put way, way waaaaay too much value into "user reviews". Most regular users are unable to consider anything obectively, nor do they have proper ability to put things into context and weight the various elements of the game.
Most users are totally able to judge if they had fun, and what I want of a game is fun.
The only problem left is judging if their fun will be my fun, too.

When I want deeper information, I read game magazines.

Homestuck adventure game HIVESWAP: Act 1 releases without promised Linux support

Looks nice. I never heard of these adventures, are they good?

Back to Bed, an interesting and slightly weird puzzle game is currently free on Steam

While it looks nice, turning right (or was it left?) until you arrive where you want to go doesn't make a puzzle game. Keyboard/mouse control was awful, and the computer generated voice would have been better left out. No, just no.

The End Is Nigh could be on the way to Linux

Quoting: abelthorneThat's interesting and quite unexpected, as the developer of TEiN said that he wouldn't make a Linux port (he's not a big fan of the OS, to say it lightly). It's good news if he's open to a third-party port.
Quoting: bythecloudsWouldn't hurt to mention that this is a McMillen game (yes, the guys behind Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac, the games that have a lot of following). So it's a really big deal for the fans of their games (who I count myself among). Don't really see the need for downplaying it TWICE in the article.
So, the makers of Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac wanted to stop supporting Linux? :-/

Quoting: buenaventuraLiam, how could you not name this article "The End is Nigh for Linux"? Are you not British? ;)
Shouldn't that by "The End is Nigh is nigh for Linux"?!? :o)

There's a brand new Humble Bundle with almost all the games on Linux, oh my

Quoting: GuestLmao it's called 'My Ex-Boyfriend the space Tyrant [External Link]' and it's gay as fuck.
My confusion wasn't helped by the fact that there is a Space Tyrant game as well that looks kind of fun.
I fell for the very same confusion. For the records, here's Space Tyrant (might or might not be suitable for any ex boyfriend):

Planet Nomads drops plans to have co-op and multiplayer

Quoting: Ehvis
Quoting: Crazy PenguinSure it's true! I can expand my team by 1-2 people adding & fixing multiplayer. No impact at all for your single player experience! ;)
Wow. You've never actually worked in a real world company, have you?
Now it gets ridiculous! Out of arguments for your single player experience? Or should I say FUD?
Adding people costs money.

Quoting: CybolicSo, what exactly are these games? I tried watching a few of the videos, hoping to learn a bit about the gameplay, but they all seem to be just slideshows of "titillating" characters.
Found this video?

Planet Nomads drops plans to have co-op and multiplayer

Quoting: Crazy PenguinAs I said it is my server which is running 7d/24h on which I'm playing with MY FRIENDS!
We understood that and it's great, but while I don't know about you and your friends, many people have this real life going on and still would find it difficult to find time slots to play together. My best friends do shift-work and I've got two babies to take care of, and that's just two obvious examples.
