I recognise the name of this one but I have never played it myself, what are your thoughts on it? Let us know in the comments!

To be honest, bards tale 1, 2 and 3 where fun back in the days and spend many many hours with them, the totally crazy battles at times... "you encounter 99 skeletons", drawing maps on paper, balancing your party etc. etc.. You can get them for free at http://www.abandonwaredos.com [External Link] and they run just fine in dosbox.  

The bards tale shown in the video can't really be seen in the same light, it's not a bad game, has some good humour in it but its not the bards tale, not in gameplay or depth, your not even controlling a true party, its a nice adventure game but that is it.

"So in future we could see a Battlefield FPS title on Linux thanks to Lars and DICE."
Sorry but I read that article completely different, he feels its needs a good killer game but it won't come from them and indies are more suited for linux.

Quoting: Quote from HamishBought it almost as soon as I saw it on Desura, but I unfortunately have ran into some problems:

Hoping to get this resolved, but I have had no help from technical support as of yet. :(

Could also be a Gallium3D driver issue in how they implemented some of the opengl calls the game uses ?

just a question here:

"we are working on a steamos version"

this can mean 2 things not ?
 1- we are working on a linux version but we don't like to use the word linux
 2- we are making it so that this pc game which is normal keyboard/mouse controlled is now really well playable with a controller so it works great when you stream it to steamos (so not necessarily a linux version)

maybe am to sceptical.

Quoting: Quote from adolsonExcellent! This was my favorite of the PixelJunk games.

+1

Quoting: Quote from LiamdaweI must say, this looks fantastic!

It really is, it looks simple but the game play it amazingly fun and addictive, specially the levels with loads of lava and you run out of water if your not careful, its a must buy this one :)  and of course nr 2 also if they bring that out, adds a whole lot more to it

It did not after an update, so deleted all and re-downloaded and that solved that error.

now after the cut-scene:

Uncaught exception thrown in Thread[LWJGL Rendere Thread5,main]
RendereException: compile error in:shaderSource[name=Shaders/LightningAdv.frag, defines, type=Fragment, language=GLSL110] : error:0(469) : errir C7011: implicit cast from "int" to "float".

sorry :)

Quoting: Quote from Mike FrettThese are really great RPGs with great stories. I'll be sure to pick this one up as I did the last 2. I just hope the viewing area is larger on this one, the last two were very small and it was hard to see without being two inches in front of the Monitor.

could not agree more, thought it was just me who was crawling into the monitor on these 2 games, glad it was not ;)
