Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Now Available DRM Free From GOG
27 Nov 2014 at 1:41 pm UTC

I bought days ago the Sam & Max collection, it was very cheap and looks great (as any telltale game). I hope wine can handle it well. In my dreams they will support Linux lol.
Since the Linux support arrived, GOG is definitely a great option to get games, their philosophy is great.

if the game would run at all I would try it. For the moment I had played a lot the android version, and its great.
This looks like the first mmo I will play lol, and looks addicting, even when its just a mmo simulation.

Rich Geldreich On The State Of Linux Gaming, And It's Not Good

Many benchmarks have shown than the nvidia driver runs similar on both OS, so to think than the ports are not optimized as good as possible (or opengl is not that good) makes sense. I mean, if those are not the reason, and the nvidia driver is supposed to have similar performance on both OS? what else could it be? the kernel? (I dont think so). Just saying.

Quoting: Astro
Quoting: BeamboomThis right here is what I talk about in my post above. Ferals work on Xcom is the exact opposite of garbage, it's one of the best ports to Linux so far, and to sit an spew out stuff like this on forums on the net... We're just in no position whatsoever to do so!
A lot of people contact me after reading my comments about Feral. We talk and I recommend them contact Feral and ask them don't port any more games on linux. So, I don't need to argue with you here. Sorry, nothing personal. What I need is just leaving my comments and do what I do.
So, they port Xcom to 64 bits, your current distro is 32 bits (in a 64 bits able hardware), and you want them to stop porting games to the linux platform just because you dont want to reinstall your distro?
I really want to understand your point, but when I try I fail. Maybe you should contact steam support for a refund, that would make more sense, but I guess it's not possible due to you should had read the requirements of the game before buy it.

Postal 2 No Longer Being Worked On By Icculus, RWS Taking It In-house

I think icculus should stop new projects and focus on fixing the ones than already exist, how is possible than Goat simulator still not works at all? This article just prove that point.

Steam Hardware Survey For October 2014, Linux Rises Again (UPDATED)

Quoting: mastereduManjaro is Arch. As Linux Mint is Ubuntu. And NO, Ubuntu is NOT Debian.
Manjaro is based on arch, linux mint is based on ubuntu, and yes, ubuntu is not debian, is based on debian. But I wonder how is this related to was I was talking about.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroIf you add together the distros they list, it comes to 0.83%, so the remaining 0.35% must be "other". That seems to fit our own results as well.
That makes a lot of sense, thanks for the info, but they should add that "Other" category, so we could see if it grows and how it behaves.
