GOL Cast: Revisiting the trenches of Verdun

this is a game that I can't wait to have, together with Red Orchestra1-2/Rising Storm

i hope in a good sale, my incomes are low and i ethically can't get at full price :whistle:

The Humble Devolver Bundle has a few decent Linux games for cheap

i bought it mainly for Shadow Warrior, the other stuff look too pixelated for my taste but i'm ready to give them a try :)

hope they will add Broforce or Hotline Miami or Serious Sam 3 the next week..

This Heroes of Newerth benchmark video shows SteamOS as the clear winner

it's always great to see a bench where Linux nails Window$.
at least some hardcore Micro$oft groupies may re-think their OS superiority in some cases.
some of them may even think that this superiority is purely based on the closed-platform DirectX..
maybe i'm asking too much..

many thanks to dubigrasu/airspeedmph for the always outstanding video content!!
keep it up bro :)

Two Worlds: Epic Edition now available for Linux in beta form, uses Wine

Quoting: liamdaweI am only able to do this for games I own, I do not own this game and Topware don't give me keys to any of their games. Can't write about what I don't have :)
HERE [External Link]
you can find some Topware crap (ahaha just kiddin' ) for dirt cheap if you want to give it a try!

i runned TW2 with wine a month ago or something, quite cool that they are porting two world 1 too!

BTW I SERIOUSLY HOPE THAT THEY WILL REMOVE THAT CANCER DRM ASAP :><:

Gorky 17, another classic Topware published title now in beta for Linux, uses Wine

instead of these ports i would really go crazy about valve giving us the capability to lauch window$ games through wine from the linux client, without re-logging in.
as for this specific port in my opinion it doesn't add nothing as it was anyway playable with wine, but it's for sure better than nothing.

i see that it's now on a 88% sale for a week; if anyone will be interested in this game but don't want to pay full price, well there is a bundle called - RPG Champions Bundle - at bundlestars.com where you can grab this and other Topware games for 2€

Verdun, the WWI FPS has a free expansion release, game is now broken on Linux (now fixed)
29 Mar 2016 at 8:58 pm UTC

oh! i really can't wait to get this game...
let's hope a good sale is coming soon :)

Anyway it's a real shame that they can't test (or don't care to test) their own game... now they need to test and fix it, let's hope they will learn from this mistake.
