Quoting: XzylResource gather because Minecraft that's why. Craft armor and weapons because Minecraft that's why.
Those things were in WoW and other games years before Minecraft existed.

Albion Online, my impressions of this new Linux MMO currently in closed beta

I suppose my big question about the game is, what's the variety of places you can go and things to do at any given point? One of the attractions of WoW to me, other than nostalgia of course, is that once you're done your tutorial stuff you can do all sorts of stuff. You can work your professions, you can farm, you can quest in a number of different locations, you can skip questing and do PvP or dungeons, there are seasonal events, and on and on.

So what I'd like to know is, how well does Albion stack up in terms of variety?

Gabe Newell Simulator Looks Like It's Adding Linux Support, Oh My
19 Nov 2015 at 2:24 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestIt's brutally ironic that this game actually made it onto steam.
I wouldn't be surprised if whoever is responsible for deciding brought it to GabeN and he said "why the hell not?"

Either way, it's better than Yohji Simulator.

The Latest Albion Online Combat Video Shows Why I Am Excited For This MMO

I'd be willing to give it a go, especially if it's F2P in a decent way. I've been playing a lot of oldschool WoW (WotLK) on a private server via Wine lately, and it really drives home my preference in MMOs. Solo questing, social guild chat, occasionally getting together for a party to do dungeons, and knowing if I have a tough quest to do or need advice, there's someone around willing to lend a hand. I'll do PVP if I have to, or occasionally dabble in it, but that's really not what I'm there for.

X3: Reunion, X3: Albion Prelude And X3: Terran Conflict Now DRM Free On GOG
12 Nov 2015 at 3:57 pm UTC

I got X3: Reunion a while back, and it's totally unplayable with either my 360 controller or my PS2 controller. This was quite a while before refunds were available, so it's been languishing away in my Steam library ever since.

Apparently it's a known issue where it just keeps rolling to one side and only stops if you're actively holding the joystick just right, but starts immediately when you let go. I tried some workarounds, but never did get it to work right.

Win A Steam Machine From GameAgent, UK & USA Only

Quoting: tuxisagamer
Quoting: KelsAh, I'd entered without noticing the restriction (prior to seeing this article). Pity they probably wouldn't consider Canada an honourary UK member.
Isn't Canada more of the US's weird step-brother?
I think of it more like being Junior Brit Scouts.

And it'd be REALLY hard to be weirder than the US.

Trine 3: The Artifacts Of Power Officially Available On SteamOS/Linux

Quoting: GuestWith the long list of Linux & OS X known issues (http://www.frozenbyte.com/2015/10/trine-3-the-artifacts-of-power-mac-and-linux-beta/ [External Link]), I'm going to wait before I get this one.
Same. It helps that I haven't started playing 2 yet, although I loved 1.
