Tempted to pick up Aquaria, it's really cheap and I've heard good things. But I dunno if an action game is my speed right now.

I'd love to play it, but I probably won't. Something about the Half-Life games, as much as I love them, gives me really bad simulation sickness, even when I expand the Field of View. I have no idea why, most other games I'm fine with on 90, but the entire Half-Life series leaves me queasy for hours.

The concept appears to be similar to what the devs of the poor, doomed, Wander were trying to do. Non-language interactions in an exploration based environment without combat. Unfortunately while their hearts were in the right place the whole thing just fell apart upon release, which was a shame.

Good news, but I'm gonna keep playing and enjoying Minetest. I do agree though, this is one less barrier to someone switching from Windows to Linux, they can keep playing the thing they like.

I'll probably be finishing up Oxenfree, which does have an appropriate supernatural theme to it. That's about as horror as I like to get these days.

Quoting: ElectricPrismWhat does Linux People think of Voxellands & Mine test?

I play Minetest a fair bit (I'm playing it now!) and I love it. Loads of mods, a pretty solid game engine that's under active development, free and open source, and not a bit of the community's efforts go to profit a company that's hostile to Linux. What's not to like?

As to VoxelLands, I tried a couple of times and could never get it to run, so I gave up on it in the end.

I'm not feeling so hot today, so I'll be giving the stream a miss. Sorry!

Quoting: hardpenguinActually, I don't think that Insurgency is about terrorists. But that's just me nitpicking since it's one of my favorite games :)

What if....you're really the terrorists!

I sincerely doubt my machine would run it, but great news all the same. Glad to see more stuff from the big studios coming over.

Last time I tried installing this, it gave me a black screen that I had trouble getting out of. Sound worked fine, though. I'll have to give the new version a go, see if it's any better.

Edit: It's not any better. one monitor goes black, the other is forced into a low resolution. I hear sound, but that's it. Alt-F2 doesn't get me out of it, requiring a reboot to get out of the damn thing. The forums don't appear to have a search function, which makes trying to find any information frustrating at best.

Edit 2: Going into Darkmod.cfg and switching fullscreen to "0" fixed it, although I can't change where the window is on the screen. Turning fullscreen on again in the menu works, except then it moves to the other monitor (where I don't want it) and turns off the left one entirely, forcing me to go into settings, turn it back on, rearrange my monitors and taskbar once I'm done. Not acceptable at all to me. It's also apparently impossible to alt-tab out of the TDM window, nor alt-drag to move the window so it's not obscured by my left-hand menu. Shoddy work on this aspect of the game all around and gives a really bad first impression.
