I hope they port the previous games as well - Arkham City is effing amazing.

Valve's Steam Controller Now Has A Later Shipping Date

I'm sure it's a fine controller, but who pays $150 for a gamepad? I guess some people do, since there is apparently a market for them, but yikes, I would never spend that much on a gamepad, even if I had disposable income a plenty.
The irony, of course, is that I've seen a lot of Microsoft fanboys complaining that at $50, the Steam Controller was overpriced.
But that's the price of a wireless Xbone controller, as well?!?

Larian Rep Responds To Criticism Over The Linux Delay Of Divinity: Original Sin

Usually, I'm the Windows troll of the community, but in this case I cannot defend Larian. People have given them money and waited for over an year. And instead of going out and saying they apologize for the delay, they're being dicks about it. Not acceptable.

This is the point, why use dx when you have opengl that works on Windows, Linux, Ps4, mobile and Mac?
I guess it boils down to which works better. Also, I've seen a lot of people on Phoronix call for the quick death of OpenGL and it's replacement by Vulkan.

Interesting. I guess after the initial reactions from the early batch demand has increased. I really can't wait to get mine on 10th.

Kingdom, A Sidescrolling Strategy Game Released For Linux, Some Initial Thoughts
22 Oct 2015 at 6:08 pm UTC

There we go. Much obliged :))). I like the game a lot. It does boil down to tower defense but overall is a breath of fresh air. Considering it's only 10 bucks I think it's worth buying. Plus, I have the feeling the developer(s) will be adding more interesting content soon.

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: maodzedunGreat news again. Still, I'm a bit puzzled you haven't covered the release of Kingdom yet, Liam.
No need to be puzzled, it's called family life :P
We are your family now *cue creepy music* :))).
But in all seriousness - check it out once you have the time. I'd say it's a must.

Steam Controller Motion Controls Look Very Slick

Quoting: FredOAfter seeing this, I'm sold on the controller now. It's strange that this feature wasn't advertised more, because it's a killer feature in my book.

I would be interested to know how well it works with Dirt Showdown?
I think Valve won't talk much about till till release and IGN and PC Gamer are idiots that wrote reviews of the controller based on something like two hours of play with main gripe: "not Xbox 360 controller". Btw don't get me wrong - I love my 360 gamepad but this is ridiculous.
