I typed your model into the search and it showed they are there.
Thanks for the link! :) If I get it to work I'll ditch Windows from that computer too. :)

Calling All Web Designers, We Need A New Look

Quoting: liamdaweIf you are getting logged out after a few hours then something's not quite right, do you change any browser settings? If you do anything like user agent switching that will break it most likely.
I do occasionally change the user agent, but this issue happens independently of that and on both my work and home computers and my phone. And I don't have any such issues on other websites I frequent.

I have a Windows partition on one of my computers too. I've hardly used it the last couple of years, but it's there until I find a driver for my Epson Stylus Photo PX700W that can handle printing from the photo paper tray. :-/

Not exactly design related but I think it would be nice if logged in sessions lasted a while longer than they do today. Now I always have to log in again if I haven't used GOL on a particular device in a few hours.

Super Win The Game Releases Today For Linux

Quoting: micmonI gladly paid for this because I wanted to thank the developers for YHTWTG in the first place.
Yeah, me too. I figured the price was definitely worth it for the enjoyment I've gotten out of YHtWtG alone. Now after having put some time into Super Win the Game I realize it's not going to appeal to all fans of YHtWtG, but I personally really enjoy it so far.

Also, here's some interesting reading about the process of porting the first game:



Thanks for pointing me to those articles, von.

Game Saves Are Messing Up Our Drives!

Ah, there's no separate function for config path. Yeah, that makes it less ideal, but it's a step up from the mess we have now at any rate.

So if all developers utilized SDL 2 we would be in a lot better shape than we are in now.

GOL World Tour: Linux Gaming From Germany

Quoting: GuestWelcome to Turrican! Ahahahahahahah…

On a side note, beware of The book of unwritten tales, the linux build has been broken for years and they don’t care, still selling it… (Yes I’m going to mention it in every article that talks about this game.)
I finished the game and actually had no issues with it whatsoever (GTX 750 ti / Nvidia 344). The Raven on the other hand had lots of graphical issues, it didn't crash or anything and I completed the game just fine but squares and things would appear on the screen.
Those issues are present in all versions of the game though, from what I've heard. I assume the issue stan is referring to is that the game crashes if you attempt to open up in-game settings while the Steam overlay is active. I don't think that was ever fixed despite a lot of people having issues with it. I personally think it's pretty minor though and it's extremely easy to get around.

Borderlands 2 Released For Linux With A Sale

Alright, bought the complete bundle from GameAgent! This particular game doesn't interest me much at all but hopefully the next game they port do. (Fingers crossed for Age of Empires II (even though it's Microsoft published).)
