I'm loving this game. Trying to get the most efficient code for each segment is a really nice challenge.

Steam Replaces The Linux Tux Logo With SteamOS
27 May 2015 at 11:56 pm UTC Likes: 5

One of my work friends has a pair of shoes with the tux logo on. I once told her about it to which her response was to call me a geek and tell me she didn't care. Very few people give a damn about that penguin really.
This move had to be expected as we get closer to the full SteamOS launch and I wouldn't be too surprised if Steam further distances itself from the association with Linux, at least in the short term. Rightly or wrongly, Linux gaming has a reputation for being inferior in the eyes of a huge percentage of gamers and launching a console with a close association with that reputation wouldn't make much sense.

Speculation: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords For Linux Leaked By The ESRB

I loved this game. It's made even better by one of the restoration packs that restored a load of uncut content. If it hadn't originally been cut then I think this would have been the best of the KOTOR games.

A Look At Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Scandinavia Expansion

I will definitely be buying this. Who knew that a truck sim could be so much fun. My only problem is the price. Does the expansion really justify the £15 cost. Do I have the option of driving my pimped truck into a Norwegian fjord and paying peanuts for someone to retrieve it and repair it for me?

I think it's broken. I don't see GTA V on there.
Other than that, however, I love it. It's a really nice addition. Maybe some developers will want to add their own games in future.

I just reinstalled fs-uae with the intention of playing 25th anniversary again. I might get the talkie version from GOG instead now

SpecOps: The Line For Linux Is Official, Being Ported By Virtual Programming

Quoting: sarmadGreat news. It looks like Steam Machines will launch with far more AAA games than the PS4 launched with. Can't wait for November.
It would be a lot nicer if we were looking at some brand spanking new AAA games for the launch. I can only hope that happens.

Very nice. Been waiting for this game for a while and just now purchased.
