I have to agree with this. As a massive lego fan and two kids that love lego, the lego games are great.
We have a Wii but they stopped making games for that.
When Proton was 1st released I went and grabbed Lego:Incredibles but there were some real big issues with it and Proton (sound and glitch).
The recent beta's ( 3.16-5 onwards) pretty much solved this. The Xaudio merge was a major fix for sound as the lego games moved to xaudio from around 2009. Likewise further improvements have fixed the glitches
At the moment we are working our way through Incredibles & StarWars TFA before jumping into Hobbit (recently got for free!!!) and then Jurassic world

Heroes of Newerth drops support for Linux and Mac

The most disappointing out of all this is the Linux build was the easiest and most reliable to maintain. OSX was a pig and windows would break every now and again....

Quoting: dubigrasuRegardless of the current situation, is still a bit sad news though. I remember these games way, way back supporting Linux when few others did.I remember that, I was working with [S2]Slacker as he was really optimising OGL. I was busy doing regression testing of all artefacts for what he was doing.
Edit: and oh, it worked (at least at one point) very well on Linux, I have this comparison from few years ago:

Heroes of Newerth drops support for Linux and Mac

I am really pissed at what Frostburn have done with this game. I had been playing it since Closed beta... Did tones on linux techsupport, was a global moderator, wrote and vetted in-game bots, helped with ogl stuff and SBT.
Then a month or so ago they released the two kongor update (which i hated in SBT) which completely changed the game for the worse as it was simply Kongor's of Newerth as well as BridgeWars (they messed with midwars soo much).
That said, the game was on its final last legs as Garena went into the US offices a couple of months ago and basically immediately terminated peoples contracts and a subset was given extensions of 3months (prob some golden parachute... ) to finalise aspects of the game.
The game is essentially dead in NAEU while in asia it is doing ok.
S2 fked with a good title and WZA sealed it with his bad balancing. It is/was an extremely toxic game but the plays were good. Sadly missed, especially due to all I put in but meh, bad management is bad
I am glad I jumped to DOTA when I did, it has vastly improved from when I first tried it (post launch) and it got me out of HoN before they pulled the rug.

Quoting: GuestDid anyone even play this anymore?Up until last month I still did.. I had about 2-5min queue times so it was alive enough to be commited.

Double Fine release the first official Psychonauts 2 trailer

I can't wait for this!
Psychonauts1 is great and considering both my kids are getting into open-world platformers, this is perfect!
I might have to contact humbleBundle because I can't activate my Psychonauts1 on steam so they can start playing that

ooo nice!!!
My daughter is sort of getting to the end of Yooka-Laylee and while Psychonaught2 would be great, its delayed. A Hat in Time looks a perfect free-world platform game

This is good. I have a steam link and it is great for the kids in the living room.
I do dread the day my link breaks and I don't have some sort of steambox in the living room. Being able to deploy a RPi is a good fallback

yup me to.
Shame there is no coop, but reading over a few points they stated I see their dilema in this.
The only bit that seems odd is the walking... it looks like the Necro is ice-skating

LEGO® Star Wars™ III - The Clone Wars™
