Quoting: BeamboomThere's nothing wrong in buying a console to a 4 year old, "Crazy Penguin". My 4 years old daughter is already an experienced Lego Online gamer, and just recently I purchased Lego Marvel Superheroes to her for the PS3.Well, my 4-year old brother handles the Wii pretty well, but getting a console specifically for a 4-year old I'm assuming is a single child? How are her hands big enough to even effectively use a PS3 controller (my brother can't)?

I challenge you to find some XBox titles besides the Lego games that a 4-year old can enjoy. I'll bet that it's about the same amount.

Quoting: wolfyrionI am the Godfather of my best friends son and we had to buy him a console for his birthday in order to play some real games instead of the games that his currently playing on his Ipad :PI'm happy you didn't get him a steam machine too. I'm amazed you bought a 4-year old a console at all.
Guess what... We bought him an Xbox One!
Even though I wanted to buy him a Steam Machine it was a HUGE NOPE!!!
He is 4 years old and the games/titles plus the performance that the Xbox has is far more superior than the currently Steam machine.
We have spend like 300 Euro + 1 game included.
We bought also some Lego Games as well because he loves Lego Titles for another 100 Euro and thats it.
Now we all enjoying the awesomeness of the console... and I am so happy that I didnt get him a Steam Machine.
I challenge you to tell me some SteamOS Titles for a 4 year old boy that he would have fun...

Major new release of open source livestreaming kit 'OBS Studio' fixes Linux window capture issues

Quoting: liamdaweIn the Windows version, there is a capture option labelled "Game". It is basically a preset mode for capturing gaming. It's not in the Linux version for some reason.Quoting: cprnSorry for kind of unrelated question but version 15.0 on my machine doesn't show "Game" in list of possible sources - do I have to install some library or plug-in? I used "Window" and it worked with XCOM: Enemy Unknown but didn't with e.g. Limbo...Do you mean when selecting a source for the Window capture the game isn't listed?
Works fine for me:

Looks interesting. I'll put it on the wishlist, though I might wait till its final release.

Shadow of Mordor. I'm about 20% through the story right now, playing about 1.5-2 hours a day for the past week.
What have you been playing on Linux recently and what do you think about it?

XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Knights of the Old Republic II. Both great games, though I keep getting stuck on a large battle in KOTOR. First it was on Nar Shadda against a horde of Gand, and then while still on Telos against the largest group of Czerka mercs.
Next month marks seven years of me running GamingOnLinux, how should we celebrate?

Quoting: wojtek88How to celebrate?I second these ideas.
1) Tournament in 7 games,
2) All the time rank of 7 best articles in GOL,
3) Your's rank of 7 best games you've played on Linux,
4) Samsai's rank of 7 best games he has played on Linux,
5) Comunity rank of 7 best games they played on Linux,
6) GOL giveaway of 7 Steam keys of 7 great games running on Linux
7) Giveaway from 7 GoL users of their keys that they have never used in the bundles (I've given away some keys, but I have one new that may be very interesting for Linux users :) )
What's most important - do all the 7 listed above points.
That's my idea :).
