Perhaps the "Steam Machine" section could have an option regarding the Steam Link? I just got one and it's fantastic. Not just for games but also streaming Netflix/Amazon Prime/movies/desktop etc.
So I've gone from being on the fence regarding a Steam Machine to definitely not getting/building one (at the moment anyway) as the Link fulfills my needs.

I backed this. I backed a few back then but never again. I'll be dropping an email to Kickstarter. I'm very patient but this is just taking the piss.

Am I the only one playing Football Manager 2016? It's the demo actually - it takes you through to January in the season, so a hell of a lot of play time for a demo! I play the "Touch" mode and they've just released a new version of just that, which is cheaper. Which is good because the full game's too pricey for me. I'll be picking it up when funds become available.
So much choice now ^_^

The trailer looks great. Trouble is I've never come across this one until now and now the sale is over :dizzy: I'll have to pick it up another time.
For the first time in a while I didn't buy any games in the sales, I have so many backed up waiting to be played!

I backed this... back when I actually backed Kickstarters. Lesson learnt. Could be a long wait yet.

Sunday Section: What Was Your Biggest Linux Gaming Letdown So Far This Year?

I've not really experienced a big letdown personally, unless I include Dead Island's initial failings (totally unplayable) but that was fixed eventually and I ended up really enjoying it.
My only other gripe (at this point!) is unoptimised/buggy releases in general. Someone else mentioned the disparity in performance between the Linux and Windows releases, for example.
I could post a lot more enthusiastically about all the good ports/releases I've thoroughly enjoyed ^_^

Alien: Isolation Released For Linux, Prepare Your Spare Pants, Port Report, Review & Sale

I've got an incredibly annoying problem which I've not seen reported by anyone else!
Horizontal mouse movement just stops dead, as if i'd stopped moving the mouse. I'm trying to turn and it won't go any further. If I repeatedly move the mouse back and forth it will start working again after a couple of seconds and I'm able to continue the turn. It makes the game unplayable. GTX 970 (355.11), i7 4790k.
I'll fiddle with it a bit and report back. Any ideas would be most welcome, thanks!
Edit: Forgot to mention I'm using a G-Sync monitor @ 144 Hz. 1920x1080.
Update: After much messing around with refresh rates and various other settings it turned out to be my WM, Compiz! :dizzy: No such problem with JWM. I normally game from Compiz (i.e. Shadow Of Mordor) and have zero issues but it's only a simple keypress to switch WM (even whilst running Alien Isolation, which made it obvious), so no biggie in the end.
p.s. Lovely game... I've yet to meet the alien though!
