Worms Clan Wars Now Available On Linux

Did anyone else go into the settings and set all the best weapons to be unlimited...just me? The original was extremely fun, and especially fun with human players.
Yeah, this is basically what I did during my childhood.

In recent years I've played quite a lot with other people (either on an old N64 or on the PC) and realised it's mostly about how good you are with grenade shots and with using the ninja rope. Or if you play on the N64, it's just about how the controller chooses to f**k with you and make you suicide your best placed worms.

New Linux Gaming Survey For March
2 Mar 2015 at 4:01 pm UTC

People can define Steam Machines however they want, it's pretty ambiguous, especially to us Linux users.

Personally, I'd call it a PC running SteamOS or SteamOS session. Equally it could be defined as a Linux machine hooked up to a TV instead of a monitor or a Linux PC which uses controllers as the primary input.

March is going to be a very awesome month indeed.

New Linux Gaming Survey For March
1 Mar 2015 at 4:31 pm UTC

I put the Steam Machine question in the very first survey, the idea is to then compare the results to this one.

And then have the same question again next month after GDC when more details are announced to see if things change on the results :)

‘VULKAN’ Could Possibly Be The Official Name Of The OpenGL Successor

Quoting: DrJacksonIn my opinion, the "Vulkan" name insinuates that this API has a link with "Mantle". It's related to lava, volcanoes...
That's a good point! Maybe they did use the Mantle source code in the end then.

Magicka 2 Linux Release Likely After The Initial Launch
28 Feb 2015 at 4:02 pm UTC

Quoting: Maquis196Depends on which studio did it, afaik, Paradox is a publisher as well as a studio so I think they have different studios doing different games.

On El Dorado this weekend (aztec and/or Icelandic Norse Republic) and HOI4 when that comes out! Love them.
I just meant the company as a whole, I don't think they actually develop Magicka and they definitely don't develop Cities Skylines.

I think I'm going to make a merchant republic in malaya/indonesia :D.

Ars Technica On The State Of Linux Gaming

Indeed. No idea where they got those 10% from.
The 10% is probably based off the overall Desktop OS market, last I checked OSX eas estimated to be around 9% or so.

But obviously that doesn't equate to 9-10% on Steam, considering the OS is tied to hardware and that hardware is pretty crappy for gaming.

Magicka 2 Linux Release Likely After The Initial Launch

Paradox seem pretty busy at the moment. Cities Skylines is in less than two weeks and Hearts of Iron IV should be out in a month or so and El Dorado was released yesterday.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Exits Beta For Linux, Some Thoughts & A Sale
27 Feb 2015 at 1:46 pm UTC

Yeah the crashing to desktop thing is annoying especially when you've spent ages in a game and are about to get the experience needed to unlock the better weapons.

I'll wait until they've fixed this to carry on playing.
