Thank you for creating this website and investing so much time and work in it.

It is definitely my number one GNU/Linux gaming news site. :)

I just wish I had time to actually play games now too... :(

I enjoyed "Blocks that matter" a lot (even though I still haven't finished it, like a lot of other games from the bundles), especially how they included references to other games from the bundles in some levels (and Tetris obviously).

And this one looks like it references Portal. Hopefully it's just as fun as their previous game. :)
I like that they kept it in the same universe.

Wow, that is an impressively long and detailed article. I will have to read it later. Kudos for the work put into writing it!

Reminds me of Uplink. :)
Also, the map looks like a Gall-Peters projection, which seems like it would make sense in this kind of game.
Oh well, some equal area projection [External Link] at least.

Why does it not show the tux icon yet in the steam store page?

I still haven't gotten Anomaly to run on my PC, but I'm really happy to see this new fully-DRM-free fully-GNU/Linux weekly bundle. :)
Looks like I will have to try getting it to run again.

Benchmark results:
Average FPS: 16.6
Resolution: 1440x900
Performance level: High performance

Not bad. In fact, I would say it works even better than the Valve Source games on my PC!

I tried Portal yesterday, and get the same problems as with Team fortress 2 and Counter-Strike:Source:
It looks nice and seems to be fluid sometimes, but every few seconds (or every second), it lags a bit and the sound stutters.

Note: Posting CLI output on this forum is still not very nice. I had to deal with interpreted [\size=] statements from lspci and there is no scrollbar, making this take up a lot of space.
I think [code/verbatim] tags could be quite useful... ;)

We do not yet have a DRM-free distribution partner for Linux yet, but we expect to have one available as an option by the time we ship for our Linux customers.

Well, how about Gameolith or Desura? :)

As for Steam, I can confirm that at least "Dynamite Jack" and "The book of unwritten tales" work without it. I'm quite sure there are a lot more.
(Although Dynamite Jack seemed to lag from time to time. I'm guessing it was because of trying to access the net/steam to synchronize achievements or other stuff.)

The one thing I haven't tested is trying to "install" a game downloaded through Steam. Being able to somehow download DRM/Steam-free installers for multiple platforms would be nice.
