Quoting: GuestMaybe you had some savegame that i can use? Or you didnt completed so much?
Sorry for the late answer: I didn't get there, and not even discovered the areas south of "Deep Friah". I guess the save game won't help you much. Do you want it anyway?

Quoting: KelsCan't wait to see people ragequit over the motorcycle fight again!
I don't know anything about the game, but a remastered edition might fix stuff that would make people ragequit. Like the director’s cut of Broken Sword improved the goat puzzle...

Although I'm a big adventure fan, I missed this one back then, so it will actually be the first time I buy it. :)

Valve have hired another developer to work on Linux graphics drivers

Quoting: ShmerlI noticed, still it doesn't explain the origin of the term :)
Ah, ok, I thought you might have met the term for the first time.
It might make a bit of sense when thinking of it like a company hiring someone to not only tell them how they solve a problem, but actually helping them doing it.
But I'm also not a friend of the term. My wife read a job offer to me about an "IT cosultant" and asked me if that would match what I'm doing, and I could only tell her "I dont know." It's so unspecific...

I'm reducing my stack of shame at the moment and I'm undertaking not to build up one anymore.
Not trying this for the first time, though. :)

Editorial: On paying for Linux games when you already have a Windows version

I think it totally makes sense for such a game. It's old, and it's somewhat special. About everbody who's interested in it will already own it. There's no money to be made by a port except when asking for additional money. That said, some recognition for those who already own it, like a cheaper upgrade, would be nice.. On the other hand - it's so cheap in the first place...

The third and final chapter of upcoming point-and-click adventure 'The Journey Down' now has a release date

It's totally awesome, as the main character would say!

And, by the way, the third part is the only thing I ever backed on Kickstarter.

Quoting: ShmerlWhy is contractor work called "consulting"
That's normal in software development.

Quoting: STiATI wanted to comment to @Shmerl. But gamingonlinux decided to time out on me. Again. As daily several times. Too pissed to write more right now.

The new server was supposed to be better, since we got it, I have more timeouts and low loading times from austria than when I ask my wife to cook dinner (I'm cooking... for good reason ^^).
How long does it take you to write messages? I never had this (Germany), but then, I'm mostly writing short messages...
