I know it's not exactly new, but does it really get any better than Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory??

I ride a motorcycle. I've had this game for a long time now and enjoy the heck out of it. I just treat it as a silly game, not a motorycle simulation.. Don't try this one at home kids...

Battle Chasers: Nightwar has silently removed mentions of Linux support a few hours before release (updated)

So, the developers comment seems pretty reasonable, and it sounds like Linux may still (hopefully) get it, just not at launch. Better upfront communication probably would have been nice, but it sounds like their heart is in the right place. If it launches for Linux with good reviews, I'll still be interested at that time..

According to netmarketshare Linux hit 6.91% market share last month, higher than Mac

We're down to 4.94%... boo! (although still a big jump from last month, and I'd take it without a doubt)

It gives one hope that their Linux/SteamOS push may indeed not be over yet!

Wednesday Madness, a quick look at some essential Linux games in the Steam Summer Sale

Quoting: DrakkerAlso a fan of FTL, but so far I rather like Darkest Dungeons. It may be because I'm still doing low-mid level quests, but the game doesn't seem all that hard, and by thinking ahead you can deal with the occasional bad luck, after all these games are all about planning and dealing with strings of bad rolls. I did lose a whole team foolishly putting a torche in the shambler's altar, thinking that its a level 1 dungeon and it can be that bad. Yeah... sigh... heh. Otherwise, as long as you have a good healer or two in your team the game is almost a walk in the park. The occultists dish so many critical hits that they significantly lower the team's stress. It seems that vestal+occultist+occultist+whichever-warrior-is-available can't lose so far. Infinite healing, lots of crits, can deal with anything and will make quick work of the back row of any enemy formation, preventing extra stress.
Yeah, my biggest issue so far, was when I wasn't paying attention to my gold at base, and spent too much upgrading/destressing. Then I had a very limited choice of Heroes, and not enough money to properly equip them, and pretty much hosed my whole campaign after 6 quests... Learned my lesson and started a fresh campaign.. :D

Quoting: DrakkerDarkest Dungeon is 60% off.
I bought DD the first day of Summer Sale. I've been playing the heck out of it since.. It's atmosphere and ability to make you lose hours at a time is a bit reminiscent to me of Hand of Fate. I think its great..

The Steam Link & Steam Controller are on sale on Amazon & GAME

Quoting: prosoorI have Steam Link and Steam Controller for more than a year.
I am not very satisfied.[...]
Steam controller: what is the purpose of mousepad when it is completely unuseful in any game?
If I would be buying today, I would buy Pi and XboX controller. With my steam linux server, if you know how to set it all up, it does same thing as steam hardware, but better.
I don't understand? The mousepad (touchpad?) can be used in any game, it's fully programmable, with a lot of custom configs available to download with it already programmed to be used..
