The game is also in the Humble Jumbo Bundle 7 [External Link] for those interested.

The greyest MMO so far? Perfect for the chromophobes among us.

Quoting: GuestOh man.. saw that Beyond Good & Evil screenshot before reading the title and got all excited. I freaking loved that game.

It is a great game, and the PC version is very affordable on Steam and GOG. Should work perfectly on Wine as well. Maybe GOG could do a wrapjob for us? I've been tempted to buy it on several occasions, but I don't buy Windows games.

Oh, and Dolphin is an excellent project with an even more excellent development community. Well done that lot!

The beta works and so does the environment variable hack, but they should really get the fix released. This is getting ridiculous. Looking at the GOL statistics, you'd think that most of their customers should be affected by this game-breaking bug, but the good folks at Feral seem happy to do nothing at all. Even the official FAQ [External Link] still promises "no issues" on all Nvidia drivers since 352.21, which is obviously wrong.

Quoting: ElectricPrismCould also batch email users 7 days before closing each week asking if details are the same.

You mean once a week? That could get annoying quickly. I suspect most of us rarely update our hardware or distro-hop. Maybe once every month or two, and should be optional.

No, he said 7 days before. As in send an email a week before a new survey is going to be done.

Ah, sorry. The "each week" part confused me.

Quoting: AnjuneI suppose pixel art is more of a statement these days than a limitation to overcome.

More artistic choice than statement I think, like black-and-white versus colour photography. Could be a statement of course, but I must admit the message eludes me.

Quoting: AnjuneI do like everything about the look of this game... except for the red noses. They conflict with my pathetic need for glamour.

Hehe, we're such a glamorous bunch, us Linux gamers.

Quoting: morbiusOn the other hand, Max feels like a grown man pretending to be a teenage girl.

Who do you think writes this stuff? Teenage girls? ;)

But sure, a story either clicks for you or it doesn't. No need to argue or rationalise in my opinion. Games that get praised for their stories often tend to seem clichéd or faux-deep to me (Gone Home, Bioshock Infinite spring to mind), but there's nothing wrong with others enjoying them. And I do enjoy them as well despite the fact that I'm not crying through the end credits.

I haven't played Life is Strange yet, but it's on my wishlist. Somehow I doubt I'll be moved to tears, but that's okay. Real life is strange and dramatic enough. I play adventure games for the same reason I watch movies or read novels; to be entertained.

The drama is through the roof! The needle blew clear off the angst gauge! Captain, she can't hold it much longer! if we don't get it out quick, I'm afraid she's going to blow!

Just close your eyes and think of England. It'll be over soon.
