• Brutal FreeDoom - Unloved

This wad recommended to me awhile back and I got it running but never ended. I just got to the point where I got a red skull key. Totally lost in the maps but I am loving it.


• Tales of Maj'Eyal

I've been playing this game at night for about 30 mins at a time before going to bed on my bedroom HTPC. My wife loves the music and like to read out loud the story as it unfolds. She also like to heckle me when I make a dumb move and get my character killed.


• Protostriker M

I am on the search from SHUMPs that are no twin stick shooters since I hate using the sticks on modern day gamepads. I just want a gamepad and buttons to enjoy my games. This is a great little freeware gem. I am about it end this one as well.


• The Fall 2: Unbound

Still on the first level of this game. I loved part 1 and I am eager to see what's in this game. I just ran enough of it to make sure it runs excellent on my machines and it does.


• Xonotic

I have guest coming over tonight for drinks, potluck dinner and fragging. I have 16 machines ready to roll but due to weather only 12 are coming. We doing no bots then 1) Domination 2) Last Man Standing 1 Life Each and 30 Deathmatch. Winner gets bragging rights.

Steam still has one big advantage left over the others so far : you can get a refund.

Quoting: ArehandoroNow that we are talking about GOG support. I contacted them to remove certain games from my account and the agent mainly told me that it was a difficult task for them to perform and didn't want to do it for me. They suggested then that I should hide the games and get on with it xD

Quoting: x_wingMy problem is that they don't help us to get new Linux users in our platform. I can teach my girlfriend of how to install games on Linux using Steam but trying to teach hear how to use Linux installers from GoG or how to install an Windows only game with wine it's out of question.

They can be very nice guys and help advanced users to workaround some problems, but they're not being helpful in order to improve our platform for gamers.

Quoting: x_wingI mean, it's just a game downloader launcher, there is no technical difficulty for doing so (well, at least if you don't start your project using .net technologies :/).

Quoting: x_wingThe low to nil involvement of GoG with Linux users

Not sure what you are talking about. GOG developers are quite actively helping Linux users, even with issues like this [External Link].

Just wanted to echo this.

GOG are very Linux friendly, they wouldn't throw us copies of games (even way before we were an affiliate) to help us cover stuff if they weren't.

Having one element of what they offer not on Linux sucks, sure, but it doesn't make them not friends of Linux gaming.
