Quoting: "Xpander, post: 3256, member: 92"Well Gamers wont use open source drivers anyway i think, cuz u get 3-4x less performance and missing some features with those drivers.

You rang? Radeon HD 4670, R600g, and quite happily gaming. :p

I don't know, but from the screenshots it does not look THAT impressive. Am I missing something?

EDIT: Okay, after having seen a video, you are referring to all the post effects on top. Not bad, but I doubt it would be that much of a problem to run.

I think you will find that was a lot of peoples experiences with Dredmor. ;)

Yeah, I asked Vince to do this about a week ago and got the response that they were already working on it. :)

And the updated versions are also most welcome, since I had to jump through a few hoops to get them to run on Fedora 16.

7K:AA was also something I had been following, but never got around to actually getting working. Will be playing some of it tonight. :D

That's not funny, that's just stupid. And tragic. :p

"rm -rf /" anyone? ;)

As a question, I assume it is stuck to one entry per person right?

Since I missed out on the last one due to lack of credit again:



I am actually shocked, most of the humour images are the same ones that were circulating since the '90s... it seems like around 2004 people stopped trying. :confused:

At any rate: hamish(at)icculus.org

I am kind of split on tutorials - I guess it depends on the game.

I know that I would never have gotten as far into Dungeons of Dredmor if I did not play through the tutorial - I would never have gotten the point of the game, and after wandering aimlessly through the first level, would probably never have come back to it again. On the other hand, you are right that some games are best played by fiddling with the mechanics by yourself. But to dogmatically cast tutorials off as a bad idea seems a little short-sighted to me.

And yes, I may not even be eighteen yet, but I started with many of the classics you mentioned (Doom, Wolf3D, Quake) as well as many others. So you can not just cast me off by saying that "I am just too young to understand."

Of course, I have no idea which camp Mephistopheles fits into - but from the basic premise it does sound like a game which could use some explanation. But it is your game and maybe you are being really clever and intuitive about the whole thing, I do not know.

I would never understand being offended by the presence of a tutorial though - even on games I have beat several times I sometimes play though the tutorial again just for kicks. Hell, sometimes I learn something even then...

My initial reaction is "Oh my god, it looks like the spirit cave in Prey only you get to blow shit up!"

Good show. ;)

It should be noted that some of these titles had already made their way to distro repositories (at least on Fedora) but this is probably a better fit I think. :)

Still, is Desura slowly also going to become the GoG of Linux?
