Got my account and have $10 dollars worth of games in my cart already.

The main oddity I have noticed though is the assumptions about my Personal Information. It automatically listed me as being in the United States and that I was born on this date in 2000. The birthday shenanigans I can accept, but it is very easy to probe one's country through the IP address, rather than insulting the user by saying he is an American. :P

Such riffs aside, so far no issues. As long as the WINE games are marked I do not have too much problem with them; on Desura and Humble Store I accept the same treatment when it comes to DRM after all, so this is relatively minor.

I had actually been expecting a larger roll out later in the year with a whole bunch more new to Linux titles, but this will do me for now.

Quoting: RutineThat's good news, I was interested by this game but disappointed to see there was no Linux support when I heard of it. Really good news ! :)

Linux was a target platform from the word go though - it might be pushing the line a tad far if we start demanding same day release for Linux even for the likes of "Earliest Access".

I noticed Aspyr has Duke Nukem Forever in its back-catalogue. Not that it would happen, but wouldn't it be amusing if DNF ever showed up on Linux? :P

Quoting: Bumadarnot sure how one leads to the others, I assume you mean decent port ? but then so was DoD (no idea of he helped on that) so all should be fine.

Icculus did also work on Dungeons of Dredmor, and while the port was decent, the game was and is still buggy as hell. Not enough to stop me from playing it over and over again though.

While I am sure this hiccup with Ryan can be resolved, I just thought I would share that I have just discovered that Alternative Games are not only still in business, but are actually quite active considering they have been behind the ports of Klei Entertainment's games for the past few years:

The last I head from them was only about their work on the Frozenbyte titles, which are now being handled in-house directly by the developer. Worse comes to worse maybe RWS could try talking to them.

Quoting: seguleh@Hamish: nice CPU, have U tried "XCOM" on it?

I do not play Steam exclusive titles, but I imagine it would be bottlenecked anyway by my now aging 2008 era GPU if I did try and play it.

This is really rather strange as it is all still on his IcculusBoard on Trello:

Is the problem really just that he has simply fallen out of contact with you? If so maybe just the press on this issue might help sort things out.

Regardless, I really do hope you get this situation resolved, as I have been looking forward to these updates for a long time. I am perfectly fine with being patient, and I respect your efforts immensely, but I do of course want to actually be able play with these at one point or another. Best of luck in getting this fixed.

Thankfully, as Toploader mentioned, things like UE4 supporting Linux from the get go should help iron out some of these issues.

Quoting: segulehIf its interesting for some1, my specs: 2 core Phenom [email protected], 4Gb RAM, GTX 460SE. As U can see, it's definitely not a modern "gaming dragon" :D

So about comparable to mine, except you have a newer GPU and I have a faster CPU:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE 3.2 Ghz
Video Card: Diamond AMD Radeon HD 4670
Memory: 4 Gigabytes DDR3 PC10666, 1333 MHz
Hard Drive: 500 GB Western Digital Caviar Black

I do need to upgrade my graphics card one of these days...

Quoting: GoCorinthiansNope. Someone that ofends a game well liked by majority of gamers...doesnt even deserve arguments!

Care to chill there GoCorinthians? He has an opinion that is not yours. Deal with it.

At any rate, it really has been way too hot here to play any games, which is a problem given my backlog. I am currently playing through the full Amnesia series since I recently purchased AMFP, but so far have only gotten through the first Amnesia campaign again. I still have Justine to go through, and then I need to get to AMFP which still remains uninstalled despite the fact it is shown on my desktop wallpapers.

Other than that, I played through and finished LIMBO as soon as the native Linux version came out, and I have been on and off messing around with FTL: Faster Than Light. I should probably just get around to trying out some of the new expansion content given the fact that I now have basically given up on defeating the mothership; if anyone is going to do it then it will be my older brother who I got hooked on the game. I myself still kind of prefer Dungeons of Dredmor if I want to mess around in a rougelike though.

Then of course there are my usual standbys, matches of Quake III Arena in which I currently have over 17300 recorded frags, and the occasional game of Blood and Blood II through DOSBox or WINE respectively.
