Quoting: STiATInteresting, never had any issue with the page.
You mustn't be in our IRC then, they noticed it a lot. We have a thing that tracks downtime too, which kept pinging me when it was timing out (too often).

Quoting: GuestWell, that was fast! (Guess it's a bit later there though.)

So, before I do what's right and proper, what--EXACTLY--is the exchange rate of a Captain Morgan in dollars to pounds?

;)
I have no idea, but Captain Morgan Spiced is the best rum ever ;)

Quoting: damarrinI only noticed there were any problems last night, followed almost immediately by an email from Liam and a new server this morning. That's an amazing turnaround! :-)
I would be lost without GOL on the net :P
Quoting: MikeGreat news!
I have had a lot of issues recently with this website, being in France. Pages loaded very slowly, if at all. Glad to know this is fixed now.
Should be no more issues, page load is certainly blazingly fast.

Stellar Overload (previously named Planets³) has released an experimental UE4 Linux build, looks very cool

Quoting: OLucasZanellaI don't get it, do you have to own the game for testing? That's too bad.
(also hurts one of our principals, don't it)
Of course, it's a commercial game. It's an early Linux build of a game that's in development, no different than any other.

Here's my review and video of 'RIVE', a fast paced & beautiful action game and the last game from Two Tribes

Quoting: GuestThen that would be a steam issue since the game was designed for a regular gamepad.
No, again, developers set whatever they want as the default. They haven't set anything, so it was information for people on how to just get it working. I have two, I use one every day, I am well aware of what I am talking about ;)
An update on this: They have acted on my feedback and given the game the correct config for the Steam Controller.

Quoting: BeamboomThis is be this years big GOTY-contender against Rocket League. Simple as that.
Well our GOTY vote when it returns in January 2017 certainly will be interesting...

Quoting: CorbenIndeed massive!

edit: But I'll wait with a purchase this time... not doing the Batman thing again :-/
Glad more people are learning this :).

Never buy a game for Linux until the Linux version exists, no matter how tempting the offer is or how much you want to support it.

Quoting: CheesenessWith regards to difficulty, if you die enough times at the same point in the game (might be 10 times? I can't recall), the game will allow you to switch to "soft mode".
Guess I'm doing okay then, think the most I've died in one section is 5 times, it was that damn conveyor belt.

Quoting: ElectricPrismI had read on Phoronix the game started with T.
Don't read into it, Feral have given nothing on it other than their Tweet, which does not mention it. We will find out soon enough.
