Speaking of such things, what is the current state of the Enchanted Edition?

Star Trek Comes To Linux, Star Trek 25th Anniversary & Star Trek Judgement Rites On GOG

Quoting: ShmerlDOSbox configuration is pretty trivial. So I usually prefer to use my system DOSbox with GOG games, instead of the bundled one.
Even though I do often use the convenience of the pre-bundled Dosbox wrappers, I would still prefer it if GOG would allow me to also download an unmodified version of the games for this exact reason. Some of us also still have old DOS machines lying around as well.

Humble Indie Bundle 14 Adds New Games For Linux Including Contraption Maker
14 Apr 2015 at 4:11 pm UTC

So the Bundle only just broke over $1 million, with the highest payment made by anyone being just $200 dollars. That makes this Bundle's performance rather similar to the first Humble Indie Bundle right? Despite having several high profile games like Shadow Warrior and Torchlight II.

It makes me wonder if the proliferation of other Humble Bundles has gone on to weaken the Humble Indie Bundle brand. The previous Humble Indie Bundle only managed a little more than $1.2 million as well, although in that case I can say that even I did not buy it.

Trine 3 Has A New Gameplay Trailer, Looks Fab
12 Apr 2015 at 4:45 pm UTC

Quoting: muntdefemsAnd who isn't excited after seeing something like this? :woot:
My own initial opinion has not changed all that much I am afraid.

3D platforming does not have that great a reputation for a reason, and it remains to be seen how organic all of this will feel when one is actually playing the game. I am perfectly willing to let Frozenbyte surprise me, and I do want the game to do well, but I am still a little skeptical about how this is going to work out.

In terms of story and presentation it also does not seem to bring much new to the table, but of course with the little that we know of it now it is still too early to make any kind of certain judgments. As I said, I do want this to work, but as someone who is quite familiar with the previous Trine games, I want the new instalment to live up to the rest. As things stand, I have yet to be convinced, but I am far from dissuaded either.

Just a little skeptical, that's all.

Humble Indie Bundle 14 Is Out, Outlast & Shadow Warrior New To Linux
9 Apr 2015 at 5:23 am UTC

So I have now installed Shadow Warrior on two machines using R600g. The frame rate can vary quite a bit, and it does slow down in some places to such an extent that gameplay can become a bit of a slog, but it is certainly playable.

This is on both a Radeon HD 6870 (Arch Linux) and a Radeon HD 5750 (Fedora 21).
