To be fair, my Mobility HD5650 is very doable for Linux gaming. But then again, the 13.1 drivers (now the legacy ones) SUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED. So yeah… nope!
-
Would you ask “Is HD4650 doable for Linux Windows gaming?”

Something used for making mathematical calculations, esp. a small electronic device with a keyboard and a visual display.

Yes, you can play some older indie titles but have no illusions of participating in the Steamy goodness.

Now, here’s the thing. Linux system requirements are (usually) higher compared to Windows when it comes to gaming. Check with the judge.

Eeeesh 354. Mine scores 553 on that website.

Like OS only multiplayer for Brütal Legend

Good on the Double Fine critters for having these ready on launch day.

Good to see a famous name promoting gaming on linux
Good news, everyone – Linux version of GMod almost done ..kinda
http://garry.tv/2013/05/11/linuxxx/
-
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. Is this still relevant? I’d rather see the Source Movie Maker get ported.
-
Apparently GMod is still a thing. A big thing. More the merrier.
Half-Life 2 ALLTHETHINGS!
http://steamcommunity.com/games/220/announcements/detail/1729658462273384426
-
HL2, Half-Life 2 Ep1, Ep2, and Half-Life 2: Lost Coast all make with the working.
-
Mmmm! FSMdamn, Valve! This is some serious gourmet shite! Me, Jordan and Pedro would have been happy with L4D2 right, but you spring this serious GOURMET shite on us!
-
First time playing HL2. This must have been face-melting in 2004.
-
Still one of the best games of the past decade!
-
We now have the entire Orange Box on linux. That’s pretty cool.
News:

Linux still crushing the average but slightly less purchases vs MAC.

Well, I wanted a copy of Costume Quest and Brutal legend, and they’re on linux now
OpenXcom 0.9 released
http://freegamer.blogspot.com/2013/05/openxcom-takes-giant-leap.html
-
Downloaded it to see if it was at least as much fun as Dune Legacy, then it reminded me why XCom was the first game I honestly disliked.
-
Need the original art assets, $4.99 on Steam
-
Went from a fairly incomplete version 0.4 to a fully playable and enhanced version 0.9.
Salvation Prophecy: A Military Space Epic – native linux port released

A dev who doesn’t sheep along with the “AMD-on-Linux-sucks-so-don’t-bother” Movement! RESPEKT!
-
Crabwalk is baaaaack!
Rawbots free during Kickstarter

-
Shite don’t run, son.
-
64bit only, because they don’t really want people to give them money.
-
Did you look at Valve and go all “Pfffft! We know better!” #doingitwrong
-
In all fairness the $29.99 “early access” version has a 32-bit build.
-
You people need to get with the times, maaaaaaaaan

Hey, controller support! Neat!

Keeps crashing on the first level with FK all error output.
-
I’m not getting any crashes
-
No crashes here either.
rtcwcoop 0.9.5 Released
http://www.rtcwcoop.com/2013/05/rtcwcoop-0-9-5/
-
“This is the first release I consider stable.”
-
Added banning and tempbanning
-
Added obituaries for players
-
Fixed dead bodies blocking bullets
-
Fixed loading screen on widescreen setups
-
What about the improper syncing between clients, like we experienced in our Playas?
-
Perhaps we should give this one a part 3

It’s Steam but i’m dinging it a chair because VSYNC should not be default.

WIN win and win. Did I mention win? \m/

Can’t complain about an all metal soundtrack
P-

For once I didn’t experience any of the vsync issues other people complained about.
-
Yay! They don’t discriminate against certain types of Metal just because “some people” don’t like it.

Controls
V-
-
Clearly constructed for a console. Four years after the console release and random gerbil clicking was the best you could come up with?
J-
-
Controls are a bit jittery, I was able to play with keyboard controls.
P-
-
Console oriented UI, lack of proper graphical options and defaulting to vsync.
-
I spent a good 10 mins to make it through the bridge at the start because that car is impossible to drive
Total-
Fun

You tricked me DF. If this had RTS anywhere in the description I would have noped the FK out.
J-
-
I can’t hate this game. I like the atmosphere, the soundtrack and the little heavy metal references. It ain’t perfect, but I certainly had fun
P-
-
Like Venn said, it’s an RTS in the guise of a hacky-slashy, driving sandbox. It’s like Road Rash meets Age of Empires 2 with the “HOW DO YOU TURN THIS ON” cheat.
