STAY THE FK AWAY FROM THIS!
TrackMania Android / Linux Port
At best this an unofficial port stealing NADEO IP. L.G.C. does not condone game piracy.
Worst? Well, best I co.uld tell it tries to connect to a .pl server and asks you to login. Login to what?
This “hack” is a Unity port so the “web” version would use the unity player. There would be no need to log into a Facebook app.
Yeah it’s not a “Linux” port but we do cover Android bundles.FKR even works with my old ARCHOS G9Works on my TF300T.The game is using Nadeo’s assets, whether it is official or not will come to light soon enough.
In form of a Takedown notice or lack thereof.
Steam News :

‘bout goddamn time!
Fuckin’ eh!
Sven Co-op goes standalone
Holy shit, I remember playing this in high school. Talk about a blast from the past
Never knew my brother had a game named after him.
Could happen?

Well, I’m keeping my fingers crossed
I wouldn’t hold my breath, cross my fingers or do any sort of physically straining activity while waiting for this.
I remember how long the original Black Mesa Source mod took.
Here’s a twitter screenshot to illustrate my point: http://i.imgur.com/0JrRYx2.png
DOTA2 no longer in beta

Zero, fucks, given.
The fanboys are already on it, the rest of us. Meh.
AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!

EDGE and RUSH are also in 0byte download form in the Linux library

Strike Suit Zero enters closed beta
http://linuxgamecast.com/2013/07/strike-suit-zero-enters-closed-linux-beta/
It’s running but fails to capture the mouse with separate xscreens.
Keyboard+gerbil is playable until you get the Stike Suit.

Humble Bundle weekly Crap # 3.1415926535
https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly
Only one game that everyone already owns?
And only if you pay more than the average
I wonder if this was what Desura foresaw happening when they decided to go their own way.
WTH happened to Ubuntu Vibes? (no update since April 14)
I’ve sent an e-mail, no reply as of yet.
I’m honestly curious since we had nothing to do with it.. For once
Arx Libertatis v1.1
http://arx-libertatis.org/releases/1.1
It works and with no more frame-rate drop during the cutscenes! Wooohooo.
Time to beat this!
I really dig these engine ports. Plays alright as well.
Operation Smash
http://www.desura.com/games/operation-smash
Whar demo? I ain’t payin’ €6 for a retro-platformer if I can’t try it first.
Direct3D 9 Support Released For Linux ..kinda
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2013-July/041900.html
This makes most open-source 3d drivers speak Direct3D natively, on par with OpenGL
And suddenly my will to drop fglrx altogether has increased tenfold.
RPMFusion or Fedora peeps should totally make this available through a yum install.
Very cool stuff. Shame nouveau is a bit shit (But thats no fault of the devs)
‘Sir, You Are Being Hunted’ Alpha Opens August 19 to All Pre-Orders and Kickstarter Backers
The most dangerous prey of all….MAN!
It was looking very good, until I read the blog post about buildings not being enterable. 2001 called, they don’t want their limitations back.

Shiny / Sounds
V-
Cock tease. Intro graphics looked hella sweet but the actual game looks like something from 1996.
Sounds? Yeah, I guess it had sounds.
J-
Was Pretty choppy on ze steambox
Looks a bit like butt to be honest.
P-
The graphics and sounds work. Of course, they would have worked a lot better if it was in first person.
The Linux world needs a Thief: Deadly Shadows type game. Hell, I’d be happy with Dark Messiah of Might and Magic at this point. Ubisoft! Get on it!

Control

Moving from first to third person is absolute shit.

Oh, the camera is just fucking atrocious
The controls are unresponsive as balls

Oh, WASD only. I can’t reassign the controls, can I? Well then…

In all seriousness, if I can’t move the character with the arrow keys I ain’t playin’ your game.

Hate Mail:
Some hate mail or what have you
http://slexy.org/view/s2WerCcu91
The generic e-mail is usually show@linuxgamecast.com. But you can contact each and everyone of us directly through the e-mail addresses on our about page: http://linuxgamecast.com/about/
As for the chairs… Venn?
Because fuck you thats why
Intel GPU
http://slexy.org/view/s27SXxKT29
A very good point. A lot of what draws people to linux is that it runs very well on less than stellar hardware. Lots of people are interested in gaming on linux and a lot of them don’t have gobs of money for gigantic stupid rigs like Venn and myself
^ this!
Your compassion for the little people is.. sickening
How about some WINE in your steam
what about limiting platinum rated games to be downloaded? But nothing else.
Works outhabox? Here, install it! It needs hacks? Sorry!

We did experiment with some tickle me Venn prototypes. We lost one of them and apparently it caused an issue trying to import a cuban missile into north korea
Also, put me down for 5 “fuck you pedro” shirts
The “whatever the hell elks” shirt should have demonic deer on the front http://i.imgur.com/XTalRy7.jpg – kudos to AngryUnit for the drawing.
