The only problem with this I see is that the CPU you got is rated by AMD at 125W, whereas the cooler is rated aby Arctic Cooling at 85W. I'd be careful there.

Isn't it like with bottles, if you hit one with another, one will break but the other one will remain intact?

Spoiler, click me

I realise planets != bottles

Quoting: filsdThanks for the report Liam! :D

As for VP ports, how is the updates on Witcher II? Are they still in Beta or they have released it for the "stable" version?

The version on GOG is no longer a beta, it looks final (version 1.2.0.7 I think). But they require a 20 GB single-file download and I haven't been able to do that these past couple of days...

Witcher 3 is by far my most anticipated game of the coming months, to the point I preordered on GOG even though the Linux version has not really been announced, hoping it will be.

That said, my computer barely ran Witcher 2 at 720p, so I'm almost certain I'll be playing this on the PS4 instead anyway.

"Terrible" was such an unnecessarily strong word. The VP ports are what's on everyone's mind in this respect, especially with the new game announced just recently. It's as good a representation of all layers as any.

Any non-Linux centred gaming (or otherwise) site will be indifferent at best and hostile at worst towards anything Linux related.

I guess people hate change and prefer to remain where they feel comfortable. It's hard to fault them for it, really.

Quoting: MaelraneWould be great if it actually was Dishonored. Started to play that pearl, then got rid of Windows entirely and it's one of the very few games that don't play well under Wine for me. So Dishonored would be really epic!

That I find quite surprising. It's a UE3 game and it runs very well in Wine - that's the way I played it in its entirety.

Quoting: WaikanoThe only real potential downer is during 8 Hour Flash sales when I'm at work...on you know that crappy Widnows Machine.

Change the user agent in your browser to pretend it's running on Linux? ;-)

That is excellent. Gray Matter, while far from the brilliance of (at least the 1st) Gabriel Knight, was still very enjoyable. I'm really looking forward to this.
