25.7GB? :O

This will take a little while to download. I look forward to playing it though, and I'll probably pull the trigger on the purchase too now that it's within reasonable reach for me!

So far, I've picked up Antichamber, Insurgency, and Rocket League.

Antichamber is pretty much what I expected, and I didn't feel compelled to finish it (partly because I use the Colemak keyboard layout and the game doesn't let you change the controls making it a pain to navigate...I'll have to come up with a better solution).

If you think CS:GO is realistic, wait until you get ahold of Insurgency. I only completed the tutorial, but if you're in to war themed FPSs, this is for you, and with the sale, it's only $1.99USD!

Rocket League surprised me the most. I can't believe how addicted I am, and 110 minutes flew by...way past a reasonable time to go to bed. So, good night everyone!

I'm still rocking an FX 8320, so I'm looking forward to an upgrade to Zen. Pair that with Vega, and I'll be set for a few more years. I might even move up to a 4k gaming system in a smaller form factor like MicroATX or MiniITX. Exciting times are ahead!

In my Windows days, I really enjoyed Just Cause 2, so while I haven't looked into whether Just Cause 3 was as good or better, I'd love to see JC3 on Linux!

Yes, I'm definitely going to upgrade to Zen at some point! My 8320 has been working pretty well all things considered.

I loved playing Train Fever! I did have one issue with it not being able to load when I used Windows, but when I switched to Linux, it worked! The only thing is that performance isn't great, at least with AMD graphics on Linux, and the keys aren't easily re-bindable as far as I can tell (since I use the Colemak keyboard layout, WASD isn't in the same place). I don't think it's worth the criticism though as it's essentially a nice update to OpenTTD.

Naturally, I'd love to see Pantheon added. :)

I hope to see some more Elementary users when Loki comes out!

This is the first time I booted up CS:GO in a while, and it's hard for me to tell if there's any difference as it was fine for me before, but any potential improvement is great in my book!

Quoting: Stupendous ManPlaying with the Xbox 360 controller, what do you do about the missing buttons, do you have a keyboard at hand? I'm playing with the Xbox controller too but have a few keys assigned to the Steam Controller which I have lying beside me, stuff like raising/lowering the rear wheels, starting/stopping the engine etc. This is why I'd love to play with the Steam Controller instead, since it has more buttons available.

I have three computers at my desktop, one of which is my custom built Linux gaming machine, so the keyboard and mouse are easily available for the times (particularly navigating through the menus and after a load is delivered) when they are needed. I do understand that a controller probably isn't enough to get by for the couch PC gamers. There was a time when I could move a mouse cursor with the controller and press an action key to select buttons, but somewhere along the line, I must have unintentionally changed a setting that disabled it. Either way, it works great for all of the time outside of menus as I have my buttons mapped to where I only need the essentials, and I even have a few buttons left over that I don't use (mostly on the D pad). I have mapped the "back" button of the controller to turn on and off the engine for instance.
