Aspyr's Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remaster Is Real And It's Out, We Have Keys For You [Key hunt is over]

Quoting: LinasI was quite young when I saw Alien for the first time. It freaked me out so much that I woke up that night screaming in my fathers arms. He was like "There is no way in hell you are watching the second one.", and I replied "Are you kidding? That was awesome!", and went back to sleep.
And have you been allowed to? :)

Dying Light Is Almost Playable On Linux, If You Do Some Tinkering (Updated)

I didn't pay much attention to this, but it is a day one release on Linux, right? Cool stuff - even though not in my country.
Great to hear they are seeking for information to make it better on Linux!

My scariest experience in gaming was playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent alone at night with headphones. I had literal shivers up and down arms and legs.

The Witcher 2 Has A New Beta For Linux, The Improvements Are Staggering

This sounds cool. I thought they had abondened this game for Linux to be honest. Didn't hear anything about it for many weeks in their bug tracker. The first version was unplayable on my four core Intel & GTX660, the last beta was close to being playable, so if I'd experience the same improvement, I really could give it a go now.

It nearly drives my to reinstalling Windows (and being on the bad side in the next GoL survey) for comparing numbers...! Liam, do you have a Windows installation and care to do a comparison?

Steam Client Updated, Broadcasting Now Out Of Beta, Still Not For Linux

I find it interesting that they're still planning on supporting Vista with such a feature. Not only is Vista a marginal OS, but it's also a significantly older OS at that. As such it's reasonable to assume that most Vista users are running older hardware that's less likely to have the power to simultaneously render a game and encode a video stream.
There are more Vista users on Steam than Linux users...
When I was running Windows, I used Vista as well. It was fine for starting games, and starting games was all I wanted from Windows. My hardware was up-to-date. And Microsoft will support Vista for another 2 years.
I'm not sure if this sums up to being worth extra work from Valve's side, though.

Quoting: GuestYes that’s my feeling too… but after two hours of wandering in the house and reading documents I got tired of it (or maybe I was just tired myself).
Verde Station would give you less time to get tired. ;)

Quoting: GuestLooks really interesting, but I think I should finish Gone Home before buying it. (I’ve played GH 2 hours so far and really enjoyed it, but can’t get myself to pick it up again.)
Both games absolutely need to be played in a single session.

Please nobody complains when Verde Station is not enough akin to Gone Home! :)
