If this were turn-based, I'd be on it like a Russian troll pretending to be a midwestern factory worker on a Yahoo News comment section.

As it is real time, I'll wait and see.

You guys always make me feel so dumb.

I run Mint with Cinnamon and have not hit a single issue with anything. But I admittedly don't understand most of the words or acronyms in this entire comment section. Thankfully for me, the days of needing to be a computer genius to run Linux are over.

So yeah, consider me to be that guy sitting in the corner nodding politely and occasionally interjecting with improperly timed generic platitudes.

Now I just need to know the release date so I can finish filling out my time-off request for work.

I'm kidding of course - I'll just call in that day.

Wait a minute.... Are you telling me that there is porn on the internet?!

Quoting: tuubiThe Metro games proclaim "full controller support" so I assume it's not all hardcore twitch action, but how's the difficulty? Can I expect to enjoy the story even if I'm not that keen on (or very good at) FPS action?

I have zero twitch skills and suck hardcore at FPS's and I greatly enjoyed the Metro games. There were a couple of parts that I had difficulty with but for the most part, you can play it pretty slow and methodical.

That sucks. I never had any crashes thankfully, but yeah, if you visit their official forum it's pretty clear that they are a little over their heads. It's a very small team and I don't think that they expected the success they found.

As far as the game goes, I adored it right up until I hit the final dungeon and lost all of my best guys. The prospect of starting over was too daunting.

Civ V. That series being available on Linux was the deciding factor that made me drop my Windows partition.

Quoting: redshiftBecause you're not buying anything.

I'm aware of that, but it's not really a valid reason. Crowd funding is not "buying" but it legally could (and should) be considered "investing" and there are a hell of a lot of laws already on the books that make it illegal to intentionally mislead investors.

I realize that these companies protect themselves by calling what they are asking for "donations" but I really think that, if challenged, the law would agree that since future goods are being promised in the form of backer rewards, that "investment" is a more proper term.

I really don't understand why these things are still allowed to happen. Crowd-funding fraud has happened enough times now that I am surprised regulatory laws haven't caught up yet.
