Nixed my HL2 (beta) and Portal (beta) saves. Brilliant!
I’m genuinely pissed. Never played these games before and my progress is lost.
Yeah, I know Valve has a “because FK you! That’s why” clause.

The longest running 0byte download is finally over. What was it, 9 months since it was “available” on the Steam closed beta?
Though, to be fair, it does seem to bring new fixes and better support for people creating steam-boxens

Still $9.99? This critter was part of HIB 1.
It’s probably foreboding for the sequel Wolfire is working on.(Overgrowth)

Nice that a devel is on top of the port and not “gauging community interest”
- I liked that comment in the thread
This is an android game. I know I have it on my tablet.
It’s great that it’s getting ported to Linux (moar games make Pedro happy) but… medium!

Do you still need the the code, enter the beta etc. Nope! but FK all if anyone knew.
Hows about a Linux download link on http://www.garrysmod.com/
Seven-years-old, Dude.
How’s about people don’t buy shit from bitches. I know I don’t own GMod and fuck all if I’m giving that jerk-off any money.
Well, a lot of people already own it, so it was never gonna be a good seller.
Also, Garry did generate some hate

GAH! Why do you tease me so?!

HIB 8 releases 4 new games (Oil Rush, Tiny and Big, English Country Tune, and Intrusion 2.

https://www.humblebundle.com/

Neat! One game I didn’t own.
I did get a few extra I didn’t own. (Oil Rush, ECT and Intrusion 2)
Likewise. The extras made it worth the 10 bucks

Serious Humble Sale

http://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

Only SSBFE makes with the working.
- And that is only for people who pay above the average.
Old ports exist for SS1 and 2 but they are old and good luck making them work
Which is a goddamn shame as
Really wish they would have ported Double D and the Random Encounter

M-O-O-N That Spells Lune Alpha

Dig it but HTH do you save progress?
Only runs in fullscreen (we explain)
Even after setting the resolution and fullscreen in the prefs file, it refuses to play in any resolution other than 1920×1080
Messes up with my multimonitor setup

Drifter pre-order for Linux

Available in the Humble Store for $10
After Notch having promised 0x10c it seems like no space exploration game matches up.

Makes with the working

V-

It installed AIR *shudder* gracefully as possible.

J-

Needed to install a whack of 32 bit dependencies
Air man, its what it is

P-

First time I started the game I got a big window full of Nope! I let it sit there for a few minutes but it did nothing (apparently), so I closed it and ran the install.sh file manually.

Total-

Shiny / Sounds

V-

It’s the classic play of Zelda with the updated graphics from SNES. The sound is a hair out of sync and I find it hella annoying.

J-

The Piano gives me anxiety.
It looks like a zelda game

P-

The sound gets a bit annoying and to be honest, I refuse to give retro type games from 2012 more chairs.
Other than that, it looks like the RPGs of old.

Total-

Control

V-

Keyboard only? Really? REALL001Y?!

J-

Desperately needs controller support.

P-

Wharr controller support?

Total-

Fun

V-

Stick /w Zwlda

J-

I like that every statue and monument say mean things about you
OOH I wanted to give it one chair

P-

The game works in the fun department, until you get to that point where there is so much stuff happening at once you just wish you had a more tactile way to NOPE’ing the fuck out… like .. I don’t know, a fucking game pad?!
