First things first: It's great to have a day 1 Linux realease, after all the struggling the developer had with Linux and its users with The Stanley Parable. Thanks, mate!

I bought The Stanley Parable and it didn't appeal too much to me, so I watched this one in a let's play. Perhaps I shouldn't. While it's still very strange and even less a game than The Stanley Parable, I feel it has more to say, at least to me.

So, consider not watching, but buying it...

This War Of Mine Finally Fixed For Linux, Includes Other Fixes & Workshop Support

Quoting: GuestSomeone knows what the exact issue was? I’m surprised that it’s a glibc issue; I thought if a game worked with a previous glibc then it should work with new ones too.
To be honest, I did not understand it, but you'll find informed comments in the following thread:

Quoting: tuubiThey don't officially support earlier releases for the same reason they don't list all the other distributions the game works with. Would take a ton of testing and make them responsible for maintaining that compatibility.
I totally understand that. But This War of Mine gave me and many others big troubles, to the extend that I tried to refund it.
And it's still worth being played!

I just hope this won't stop it from working on Debian Jessie...

But still: Everybody should play this game.

New Linux Gaming Survey For October

Quoting: MyeulCIs local multiplayer considered as multiplayer? I've found myself fond of these games lately.
I would think so. Multiplayer is when two people or more play together, wheather they are sitting on the same couch or on the opposite side of the world. (Random association: I always liked the thought of playing Call of Duty, being a German, with or against Polish or Russian players. What a better world it would have been if our grand grand fathers would have done the same back then...)

The Journey Down On Kickstarter, Funding Final Chapter Of Point-And-Click Trilogy

Quoting: aLChapter 1 was great... chapter 2, not so great... unfinished and unpolished everywhere...
I found chapter 2 to be better and for sure more polished than chapter 1.
Chapter 1 even had some voice recordings with wrong voice AFAIR, at least not matching at all.
But both are great IMHO!
