Anyone else get the “Step 1” email?
-
Three paragraphs (and five steps) to join the alpha?
-
Yeah… I’ve completed all the steps and you know what? It’s not available yet!
-
Protip: You send a link to the game. I play the game and provide feedback.
-
Or…you know just provide a link to the game…
Voice work
-
It goes like so. You have a for-profit game? Ask for my rate card. Go into shock. Then we try to work something out.
-
Now, FLOSS games? Ask the guys at 0 A.D. No cost. Always willing to help out.

The devel tossed out the following logic “we’d have to make the minimum supported specification NVIDIA cards only.”
-
Until AMD unfucks itself
-
Oh so they didn’t test on AMD, just did the usual “AMD on Linux Sucks!”-thing and went on their merry way. ಠ_ಠ
-
I have to agree. What a way to bitch out. How the fuck am I supposed to play shit on my giant TV!?!

DOTA 2
http://www.dota2.com/thebetaisover/
-
“The Mac and Linux builds are currently in testing and will be available soon.” -
“soon” =’s Valvetime™-
Until then, there’s only a missing executable to keep us comfy. -
HA! Knocked Steam offline for a few minutes.
-
Looks like a scaled down version of HON
-
Oh, everyone claiming DOTA2 “is the last straw that would make me switch permanently from Windows” No, it’s FKN not. STFU and EABOD (in a bad way).
-
Someone on Reddit went so far as to say once DOTA2 was on Linux and AMD graphics drivers were as good as in Windows. Oh dude… You’re stuck with Windows!
-
Noooope! Now that type will move the goal line.
-
-
Good for valve. This is gonna sweeten the pot for some people who are on the fence about kicking their windows partition.
Guns of Whateverthehellitscalled 1.3

New gun, new ship, new costumes, higher level cap.

This is what I call a patch! If this was EA they’d charge €20 and call it DLC.

It’s kinda like Natural Selection, only based on the id Tech 3 engine.

YAY! For bot improvements

Start it up, connect to a server, crash

Linden Lab (makers of Second Life) buys out Desura
http://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/linden-lab-makers-of-second-life-buys-out-desura.2147/
-
BREAKING! Failed project buys failed project. In other news; water wet, sky blue.
-
I wouldn’t call Second Life a failed project. It’s aimed at the needy attention whores on the internet and I think it does wonders in that respect.
-
All those people playing the same game, together in one place on the internet, not clogging other mediums/games… That’s a positive thing if you ask me!

Makes with the working

on both ATI and Nvidia
P-
-
Had to force enable VSync from AMDCCC before I could even create a profile.
-
How do you cock up the menu so bad?
Total-
Shiny / Sounds
V-
-
Retro, pixel, platformer. It’s like Mari0 /w puzzles.
J-
-
The Visuals aren’t horrible but the sound is
-
I know there is a bias against pixel platformers
-
but the music gives me a headache
P-
-
I would excuse retro graphics and 16bit sounds if there was something about the game to redeem it. Unfortunately there is not.
Total-
Control
V-
-
The menu navigation was upside down using the gamepad.
-
After playing for a bit I obtained the portal gun THEN we need a hat pad. Had to switch to the key/gerbil.
J-
-
The controls can get a bit tedious with keyboard and mouse
-
Controls are equally as tedious with the controller. Logitech generic controller didn’t work but ps3 controller did
P-
-
Save for the jump function being a bit temperamental and having to keep the button pushed for almost a second to do the full jump. I don’t really mind the controls much.
Total-
FUN
V- –
-
Fun is a strong word. I’m going with challenging on this one. This is something you can pick up, tinker with, and forget about.
J-
-
After about 30 minutes I got reaaaaaaaaaaaaal bored with this one
P-
-
The game screams: “We wanted to make Portal. But our budget only allowed for a 2D retro-platformer and no snarky, homicidal computer voice actors stepped up.”
