Back in my dual-boot days, I bought the original. It was fun, but, IMHO, pretty limited. This version looks like the real deal, and it's on my wishlist. I have to make my Patreon payment to GOL before I can buy it :D.

Planetary Annihilation TITANS (Whew!) :woot:
Torchlight II (still) :whistle:

I had these three already, so here are some keys, first come, first served:
BeatBuddy: R8KBW-9CTB2-BHJLN
Fotonica: THAPR-560H4-QBIMT
TinyKeep: AL9TY-W55MB-NQZQF
If you use one, note it here so that nobody else wastes their time with a dead code.

Planetary Annihilation: TITANS, A Standalone Expansion For Planetary Annihilation

I pointed out on the forums, after many posts whinging about EA backers not getting what KS backers (such as myself :D ) got, that KS backers paid on a promise of a game, while EA purchasers got a playable game which was pretty continually upgraded.
I feel just great about having this appear in my Steam library today, and the little "Thank You" box for having been a KS supporter made me smile. 3-4 years ago, I supported several KS games, and have certainly gotten my money's worth: Wasteland 2, Pillars of Eternity, War for the Underworld, and others, and there's Torment coming out.
Yes, I'm one very happy penguin today.

DiRT Showdown Released For Linux Thanks To Virtual Programming, Some Thoughts

As a non framerate-chaser, I'm happy with anything over 40 FPS. That said, it's distressing to see the poorer performance of Linux versus That Other OS.
Besides, if I suck at FPS (and I do :dizzy: ), I'm truly abysmal at racing games :'( .

The Current Humble Weekly Sale Is A Cracker For Linux

Quoting: fizzgigThe Edge of Space devs stated in the Steam forums that they would like to support Linux later on. They just lack manpower to do this at the moment.Which is why I did add it to my library. We'll see if they do support we penguins.

Gad. Don't I see enough car commercials with drifting? Now a game?

Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth Expansion Rising Tide New Trailer, Still A Day-1 Linux Release

So, as a Pandora:First Contact player, I tried C:BE for the free weekend.
Meh. Uninstalled and it is not a purchase candidate. It's a CIV V clone, with little of Alpha Centauri's :wub: charm, complexity or strategy. Even though P:FC is kicking my ass regularly, it's lower-priced, looks better. and is the true AC sequel.
IMHO :whistle: .

Purchased on sale, and downloading.
Yes, it's pretty aweome; I love the look (the music is less liked), and it's a bit Starcraft-ish. That is a good thing, of course...

Interview With The Developers Of Cossacks 3, Which Is Coming To Linux

It certainly looks pretty awesome, and I'm pretty interested; Linux gamers still don't have enough choices in the RTS genre.
I suck at them too (you should see me at Planetary Annihilation), but I do like to play them.
