Dawn of War III looks like it might come to Linux

Quoting: ahjolinnaI cant stand people like TotalBiscuit or angryjoeshow nowdays as they arent what they where before...I dont like them for different reasons TotalBiscuit is horrible gamer and his opinions are just all over the place and his part of this stupid "pc master race shit" same goes with angryjoes (more or less) but what makes it worse with angryjoe is that his has become complete sellout and really lazy.
Well, tough shait mate. TotalBiscuit never claimed to be a great gamer; he is a a video games critic for all intents and purposes. Hack, it sounds like one needs to be a outstanding footballer to commentate football matches; are you insane or what?

Are you aware that TotalBiscuit is one of the alpha testers of DoW1 to ensure the balance when there was no early access bullocks going on. He lifted his SEGA boykott most probably for the sake of covering DoW3.

Angry Joe? I stopped following him years ago for the health of my ears and sanity...

DoW3 eleminates any possibility of creative strategy by forcing giant mecha elites and base turrets. Thanks to those and early game unit refunds, turtling works pretty well. However I believe there is still hope for DoW3; Steam workshop seems to allow fan made turretless maps. Moreover, as DoW2: Retribution turned out to be the best in DoW2 series, I put my faith to Relic's wisdom.

Immortal Redneck, an FPS set in Egypt with rogue-lite elements releases for Linux soon

Pros to Crema and Liam for using the term "rogue-lite" instead of "roguelike" nonsense.

Steam now has a bunch of Anime shows you can buy, also a sale on Anime games

My biggest problem with Crunchyroll is the region blocked content and Flash Player requirement for desktop users. I reject to use VPN for the content (ie Dragon Ball) that I pay for and push my PC to its limit to just watch 1080p low bitrate video due to forced Flash Player. If Steam provides region free content without needing Flash Player, I would seriously consider buying for it. BUT, Steam client's video performance is already mediocre and I haven't notice any of Dragon Ball anime series or movies on Steam yet...

So, I played... Black Mesa

Quoting: SolitaryI am somewhat confident that you do not have Snarks during first encounter with BlackOps.
As I have pointed out I have cheated to let snarks eat them. But, if I am not mistaken there was a some sort of storage section that player encounters Black Ops just before Lambda Core; it should be bm_c3a2a of Lambda Core. That's a pretty late game that player should be holding almost whole arsenal.

Arma: Cold War Assault released for Linux & Mac, but it's separated from the Windows version
14 Mar 2017 at 6:38 pm UTC

This is strange... As the game is ported by Virtual Programming by using eON, the Windows build is there under the hood which means cross-play between GNU/Linux, macOS and Windows shouldn't be an issue. When Feral Interactive fails to deliver Linux/Mac to Windows multiplayer due to "differences in the maths" on different operating systems, it is bitter but understandable.

But, selling cross-platform multiplayer compatible game with different app id is "a bit" greedy. VP clearly does not want to deal with OS statistics to divide the income with Bohemia Interactive. Thankfully the price point is so low that it wouldn't be counted as a big issue. But I dearly hope that wouldn't turn into a common custom for Linux games.

The awesome looking FPS 'STRAFE' has been delayed, with no set Linux release date now

Question: What does Strafe add to Quake/Unreal formula? Aside from weapon customization, pretty much nothing. They picked the esthetic that I despise the most; voxel art... Here comes from John Romero; "if you make a game with Quake engine but it could be easily made with Doom engine, you failed". It is 2017, they use the most recent version of Unity engine but the game looks like Quake 1 and plays like Unreal Tournament (1999). Sorry, they need to add more than cheesy 90's trailers to convince me.

Quoting: Mountain ManDo you have snarks by that point in the hands game? I can't remember.
Me neither. During my initial playthrough, I killed them with grenade launcher; that was the most solid way to stop them. Following playthroughs, I simply cheated, spawned the weapons I like and let snarks to eat them... :P

Quoting: Mountain ManMy method for dealing with the ninjas in the original is to plant laser mines around the level and then hide until they blow themselves up. This works surprisingly well.
One word; snarks. ;-)
