That's excellent news!

Interestingly, the Feral radar is showing the "Depth Charge" game coming sooner than Mad Max...

I 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! :-)

Fear Equation, a turn based strategy and horror title is now on Linux

The trailer makes it look nothing like a turn-based strategy.

Harvet will be thrilled you chose his eyes over those of Harvey, which are the ones everyone seems to be buying these days.

Life is Strange released for Linux & SteamOS, some thoughts and a port report included
22 Jul 2016 at 9:41 am UTC

It runs at 7-11 fps (opening scene in the storm) on my Geforce 330M on the 340.96 driver (Core i7 laptop though) at 1280x800 in a window. No graphics corruption that I can see. Interestingly, changing details from low through medium to high seems to have no impact on framerate (maybe a frame less). Considering what type of game it is, I'd say it's marginally playable ;-)

SC Controller, the open source driver and GUI for the Steam Controller is making lovely progress

I love the steam controller so far but some things really annoy me: like why can't it recharge its AA batteries from USB?
It doesn't? I thought it did have that feature... :(
It really wouldn't be a good thing if you put in regular alkaline batteries.

Want to play the classic racer Need For Speed II SE on Linux? There's an open source engine for that

Oooh, I loved this game. I'm pretty sure it's not aged well. :-) I have the disc for it somewhere, I wonder if I can find it...

What have you been playing on Linux recently and what do you think about it?

I have been trying to play some Stasis, but it's currently too broken to take it seriously. The atmosphere is excellent, I'm really looking forward to having a functional build.

Other than that the PS4 has been taking up my spare time, but I won't talk about that. :-)

The adventure game Moebius: Empire Rising is supposed to be releasing for Linux soon

Quoting: damarrinThe first Gabriel Knight was one of my best point-and-click experiences. Jane Jensen's games went downhill after that, but I'm still hoping for a fun time. I already have this on GOG, got it in a surprise sale where they were giving out random extra games, hope the Linux version gets added there, too.
Well... Gabriel Knight 2 was better than the first one and Gabriel Knight 3 had one of the best 3D ideas for graphic adventures I remember. The story and puzzles a bit worse than the others though. Gray Matter went downhill, I agree, although still enjoyable.
I remember hating the FMVs in 2 (the young guy GK was in stark contrast to Tim Curry's voice) and 3 was just bland. I liked them all, more or less, but I think 1 was the best of the lot.
