I vaguely remember playing this game when I was new to Linux. Might be time to give it another go.

Humble Bundle With Android 7 Smashes Down

Quoting: Quote from DrMcCoyI have two monitors, each with their own X screen (*), so of course I have Xinerama disabled.

(*) One of the reasons being games trying to be smart and doing insane stuff like stretching over both monitors, not letting me switch to my second monitor mid-game to talk on IRC, not wanting to run on the second monitor, or even switching off the second monitor.
I use Zaphod Heads for exactly the same reason, with the other being that I got sick of other kinds of windows appearing on the second head. I might revisit traditional stretched screen multi-head when Wayland is stable, but for now I am sticking to Zaphod.

Quoting: Quote from Mike FrettIf it makes any difference, I like Worms a little better. It just has a more polished feel. But there isn't much difference and if you like Warmux, you're probably not missing much.
I get the impression that the main benefit is probably the nostalgia for people who had a lot of fun with the original worms games. Nostalgia that I do not have.

Quoting: Quote from n30p1r4t3I loved Warmux! But as I know it, Worms was just the original. 
I know which came first, my question related to whether or not the worms title in the Bundle offered any real advantage over the free software ones.

Is there any huge difference between Worms Reloaded and Warmux?

Probably going to sit this one out.

Glare Beautiful Platformer Officially Released On Steam

Well, maybe after I am done getting cattle shipped, and after I buy Salvation Prophecy, which has been sitting in my Desura cart for far longer. Although I am still skeptical that it would actually play better than Trine for me.

Indeed, the Humble Store would be their best option for a DRM free release.

That's high-praise Samsai. Makes me tempted to buy it, if it were not for the fact I have huge backlog of games I really need to get though first. :|

Penumbra Collection Now On Desura

Quoting: Quote from Bumadar
Quoting: Quote from HamishBought it almost as soon as I saw it on Desura, but I unfortunately have ran into some problems:
http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-23562.html [External Link]

Hoping to get this resolved, but I have had no help from technical support as of yet. :(
Could also be a Gallium3D driver issue in how they implemented some of the opengl calls the game uses ?
Thing is, I have a different version of the game that works fine. As I explained in the support thread.

It only seems to apply to the Desura version I got.

Played a bit of the mod back when it was a mod. Should be interesting to see how it plays now that it is its own thing.
