Whats a knuckle duster? Brass knuckles?

I like this game and have owned it since it came out but i didnt notice until recently that there was actually stuff to do lol. I knew I was supposed to get milk but I always ended up running around and causing mayhem. Never made it to the game studio part until recently lol. Cant say Im very far in the game at all but its still really fun.

I remember that when I was as a kid, I bought either a megadrive or a masters system in Germany, I dont remember which, and brought it to the US and I was disappointed that I couldnt plug it in and use it. lol Maybe now I can finally play some of those games.

GOG.com Don't Plan On Introducing Linux Support In The Foreseeable Future UPDATED

Quoting: Quote from philip550cthey can still follow their policy and just use ubuntu (come on guys the distro choice is obvious) and let the community figure out the other distros.
But is it that obvious? With Ubuntu trying so hard to become incompatible with every other distro under the sun it may not be the best bet on its own anymore.
Yes I still think so, since ubuntu is valve's choice its gonna get the most support for gaming (games already ported and running, drivers, etc.. ) and gaming peripherals and the largest userbase as well. If they really wanted to be good, they should choose ubuntu and fedora and we can handle the rest. I think ubuntu's choices lately are making them more commercialized too which would probably be looked at positively by developers. I only hope they dont become so different they are their own OS like Android.

wow so they really want to loose out. Since Steam on linux was released, I have purchased about 600 games and most of those are windows only (which I dont use much), I would have purchased all of those on gog instead even if only a fraction of those worked in linux. Thats ok though, I guess they dont need $1000 from me. Also thats a really dumb argument, they can still follow their policy and just use ubuntu (come on guys the distro choice is obvious) and let the community figure out the other distros.

Also you can update nvidia drivers from apt-get easily. I do it all the time. I havent installed nvidia drivers (not including on my cuda computer) from cli in years, I just add the x-swat ppa and it updates with everything else.

Must be because they are both Russian games.
They aren't Russian games they are Ukrainian games. I don't know why You wrote otherwise, but I don't like it.

And some more info:

And if I remember correctly the game takes place in Russia.

Metro: Last Light Devs Continue Pushing Towards Linux
22 Aug 2013 at 11:14 pm UTC

I am so excited about this. About 2 days before it was announced here, I was thinking that it would be awesome to have on linux as almost all the FPS I love are native. Will wait to purchase so it counts as linux sale but I will not wait for sale price, will purchase full price probably day one. Don't care, love this series. Metro 2033 would be great to have as well but I don't think we will be getting a lot of back catalogs for games as sometimes its not worth it to them, but hopefully linux is a standard for future games and cross platform will be standard from the get go.

Tropico 5, City Builder Will Come To Linux
15 Aug 2013 at 9:35 pm UTC

Quoting: n30p1r4t3Great news. The title is a bit confusing. It seems that the tropico 5 city builder (like editor) is coming to Linux. Maybe you could reword it? Like Tropico 5, an Island City Builder is headed to Linux.
I agree, I thought this was a level editor as well. Which would be odd, but similar to dedicated servers and such running in linux

Are GOG.com About To Support Linux?

Quoting: Quote from Quote from KristianJust look at what they did with The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition. Also they support mod tools. I am a huge advocate for mod tools. So for reasons like that I would say that the GOG situation is complicated. But overall I still very much consider them good guys. I just have some pessimistic tendencies and I am going overboard NOT to get too excited. 

Call it 3D Realms forums regular syndrome if you want... all those years hearing magazines hype their next cover followed by people in the DNF forums starting threads speculating that it wold be DNF(Which I ended up enjoying as one of only three FPS games I have completed from beginning to end(What can I say, I suck as a gamer), the others being Quake 1 and Bioshock Infinite).
What did they do with Witcher2?
And you beat all 4 episodes of Quake1 ? I play that game at least once a month still and I haven't beaten it yet lol
Yes but I can't beat the second level of Duke3D, after trying intermittently for the last 15+ years... I really do suck at games. Majorly.
hmm lol I guess you do. I also play Duke3d a bunch but I beat that one. I like it more than duke nukem forever. But seriously what did they do with witcher2?
