Baldurs Gate revamp may get Linux version
2 Sep 2012 at 9:32 pm UTC

Strange that as someone who was born in and lives near Edmonton I seem to be the only one not drooling at the idea of getting more Bioware games on Linux. :p

EDIT: Hmm... just across the river where my where my father works in fact:
We're located in Edmonton along fashionable Whyte Avenue, down the street from the original Bioware office.

What I really want to know is the DRM situation of these titles...

Unitroids runs fine for me on Fedora 16 and LXDE. The AngryBots link does not seem to work.

Steel Storm 2 development update

Quoting: "KIAaze, post: 5269, member: 16"Why are some videos playable in HTML5 and other not anyway? Can't Google convert them all to an HTML5 compatible format? Or at least the newly uploaded ones?

Not trying to take this thread permanently off topic, but certain videos will not play because of advertisements, and not all of them have yet to be converted. The problem in this case was that it was uploaded without WebM support, which is strange and I do not know what went wrong. It has been a long time since I have tried uploading anything to YouTube - so I do not know - but maybe there is a toggle or something?

Small complaint, but when I tried to play the video it says that there are no available formats available, and when I went to download it there was no WebM version (which probably explains the error). As someone using HTML5 video on YouTube with Linux this can be a little annoying. First time I have seen that error in fact (there are videos that plain won't work, but those do not play with HTML5 in general).

Does anyone else feel old about optical media being something special and not the norm? ;)

Tomes of Mephistopheles new screencast

Quoting: "motorsep, post: 5190, member: 154"I used Fraps on Windows. There is nothing on Ubuntu 12.04 to record good quality screencast :(

glc is pretty good once you get it installed (which can be a bit annoying as it is not packaged by most distros for some reason), and if you do not want to mess around with scripts and terminal commands you could use my Soul Capture program with it. ;)
