Quoting: melkemindSo, just to be clear, you're saying Half Life 3 confirmed? :)

No, not at all. Do not get the wrong idea; at least in no less than 5 years time. :-) Black Mesa is in development for a long time; it was a free (of charge) Half-Life 2/Source Engine mod. However, it lacked the last Half-Life chapter Xen, and in still does. So, forums are full of jokes about missing Xen chapter for Black Mesa; even HL3 would be released earlier... :-P Well, Freeman's Mind is completed, The Freeman Chronicles is about to be released, hack even Prospekt [External Link] has Xen parts; so the jokes are not pointless. :-)

Well,

Painkiller Complete Pack [External Link] - 90% off

It looks like that is the only Painkiller pack which includes all DLCs for Hell and Damnation. It looks like I will be killing hordes of enemies this week after beating Black Mesa. ;-)

Quoting: MyeulCBy the way, what does "VPKed" means? Is VPK some kind of file format? (valve-pak? The original game used pak files, IIRC).

Yeah, Valve Pak. Most of id Tech games such as Quake, Quake II and even Half-Life (GoldSrc), as well as many other games use Pak files. But, Black Mesa is a Source Engine game which uses VPK as it should do.

Quoting: liamdaweAll platforms have been updated to use FNA, it is not just the GOG version.

Well, Steam Community page of the game has no such announcement. Actually, only announcement is the release of Transistor... I checked the SteamDB page of the game; only related entry is the removal of "VMC Linux Test Pass" 17 days ago. I am not good at tracking sort of things, that's all I can say...

Quoting: HoriHow well does FNA perform compared to MonoGame?

Yeah, what is the difference between Steam and GOG versions on GNU/Linux?

Good news! One day the original game will be released for GNU/Linux and it will be great. I got Deus Ex: Human Revolution more than year ago from GameChanger Charity but haven't touched the game on Steam yet. I wonder, does my purchase from the charity count for Linux or Windows? Also, how about SteamCMD downloads? Do SteamCMD for Linux downloads for Windows games count as Linux or Windows?

Thanks for reminding that the developer has never delivered the promised GNU/Linux port of Giana Sisters. As long as they won't keep their promises, I won't get their products. Thank you.

The demo looks like a bit buggy. I have weird "_" symbols between the words in the menu. Moreover, "I" letter has seen as "Ö" and some other letter have seen as either "È" or "İ". Well, my OS is in Turkish and I am using Turkish QWERTY keyboard layout; but when I switched to US English keyboard, it did not make any difference...

Spoiler, click me

The loooong named creature at the ending would be the reason why we cannot get the key; it was optional and I failed to kill him... :-P
