Humble Indie Bundle 6!
19 Sep 2012 at 6:48 pm UTC

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 5489, member: 122"No love for Shatter? It's totally the best game in the bundle :D
matter of taste i guess.
most boring game in the bundle for me.
Rochard so far seems the best... and unity engine works fine

currently playing Borderlands 2 and tomorrow Torchlight 2 unlocking..damn too much games at the same time :)

My test list so far:

Rochard - runs super good. can alt+tab, switch workspaces in fullscreen mode, pressing esc key to bring up menu ugrabs mouse so i can use my second monitor etc. this is how all games should be.. Unity engine seems nice.
Shatter - works fine but just not my type of game.
SPAZ - installs fine. 2 Fps in the menus. havent even tryed to lag beyond menu with that framerate.
Dustforce - works fine without issues
Torchlight - haven't tryed the native version yet, completed the game via wine without issues and TL2 preload is also waiting for release date.
Vessel - waiting for packages.

System Specs:
Processor:AMD Phenom II X4 955 , ~3.4GHz

Motherboard:Gigabyte GA-970A-D3

Quoting: "Kame, post: 5460, member: 102"I'm guessing they must have discovered some super bugs in the Linux/Mac builds of Vessel just before the HIB launched, can't see any other reason they'd be late like that.

"Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen issues concerning our Vessel ports for Mac and Linux, these versions aren't quite ready for prime time. We will be getting Vessel out to bundle buyers as soon as possible (24-72 hours)."

but yeah..one of the best Bundles so far

Torchlight 2 in 2 days tho...so i wont be playing Torchlight much cuz i have already completed it via wine

SPAZ starts fine but framerate in menu is like 2 fps.

Steam Linux Beta Is Getting Closer!
9 Sep 2012 at 10:12 am UTC

i played SS2 with the native client(beta installer from loki). didn't have any problems.
played co-op with friend on the windows client. for me it worked well without issues.
HD version would be really nice if they get ported to linux as well. tho they work great through wine.

Steel Storm 2 new dev video

ubuntu with unity is known to have perf issues. (hint! compiz)
unity 2d should work better..or some other desktop environments like xfce or mate.

Quoting: "motorsep, post: 5190, member: 154"I used Fraps on Windows. There is nothing on Ubuntu 12.04 to record good quality screencast :(
don't have windows for fraps...
weird thing is that i can record xonotic just fine with my script... same engine?
glc is pain in the ass for me...it works..but its doesnt want to record audio and cannot use the output file directly in openshot...have to encode first..takes lot of time.
