Quoting: "berarma, post: 7318, member: 131"Sorry about that. I have nothing against your name, but still keep changing it, hehe. Needless to say english isn't my native language.

Oh, that is quite alright. My main complaint is with the ignorant bastards out here where I live who should know better that still keep alluding that I am somehow related to swine slices...

Is this going to become a meme around here? :P

Quoting: "berarma, post: 7297, member: 131"Amish, I was thinking the same. I'll ignore him until he has something interesting to say. Why are we giving him so much publicity?

Yay, I am Amish again!

Sorry, not trying to be a dick, but my name gets mangled so much I have to take some perverse pleasure in pointing it out. ;)

On the subject of Team Meat, I think the best thing to do is ignore them like any other troll, at least this Tommy fellow as Edmund McMillan could just be painted as mistaken in this instance.

Still, it is people like this that can give independent gaming a bad name: stuck up and full of ego. It does gall me the credit that Super Meat Boy gets compared to many other more creative and constructive Indie titles by other developers, including by the Humble Bundle guys. And note that is a personal opinion and not a defence for Canonical or any other such statement. I am hardly their best friend either...

GODUS god game funded for Linux!

Black and White was a really great game right up until the later parts where it started to fall apart. Still enough quality there for me to be optimistic about this one.

Steam updates...

Look, I understand that Ubuntu is their main target, but not supporting the FreeDesktop.org system tray standard (as far as I am aware that is the problem, could just be talking out of my hat) is a really stupid situation to be in. What about Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu users?

Humble Indie Bundle 7!

I would appreciate the original Shank being offered as a bonus title since I missed out on HIB4.

EDIT: Also, who wants to place bets on whether Torchlight 2 is going to appear in a future bundle?

THQ looking at possible Linux ports

Quoting: "Anon, post: 7118"Well, maybe that bundle wasn't such a terrible thing after all? If this is indeed happening, and they decide for it, then well, damn.

This still does not forgive the HIB guys throwing off their principles for them. If they do port games in a way that I feel like supporting them, I will though.
