Nice work, this does count as Monday!

Also, congrats to Sword 'N' Board which just got funded today [External Link]

The newly announced Sword 'N' Board stretch goal for adding reagents to upgrade gear sounds interesting, and is not excessively ambitious at another $1400 since there are still 3 days left, including hopefully the customary big finish of a successful kickstarter project

The Wine development release 1.7.1 is now available
31 Aug 2013 at 5:20 am UTC

The ubuntu version of wine is patched to make it work with pulseaudio, but the upstream wine doesn't have this patch. To use this development version of wine, there are a couple of workarounds you can try:

* stop pulseaudio while using wine
http://wine-wiki.org/index.php/Sound_Troubleshooting [External Link] see "Stopping pulse"

Or,

* reconfigure alsa to let pulseaudio use one device and wine a different device so they can run at the same time

Actually there is a third choice, try to forward port the pulseaudio patch that ubuntu uses to the newer wine, but if you were that confident about hacking wine source code you wouldn't be asking for help here ;)

These games could go in a new category of the wiki, with people contributing screenshots and their impressions

Yes in theory I could start such page, but really too busy at the moment so hoping for another volunteer

ShinyLoot Game Store Interview And Giveaway!

GamingOnLinux is the best source of news for crowdfunding Linux games; nothing else even comes close. The wiki, Liam's interviews, and Munt's roundup are all full of awesome.

Hamish and Cheese are really good writers too, though a lot less prolific.

A fine demonstration of the new multi-quote system there, Munt ;)

In Munt's defense, he does always mention whether Linux is a stretch goal, and the U55 section even has the wrap-up recommendation "we'd better hold our horses for now"

"In the running" section does take a more conservative approach of not mentioning games until they are at least getting close to the Linux stretch goal, so U55 will probably not be appearing here again in future weeks (achieving even the base goal is a long shot).
