At the end of the day Valve is doing sneaky shite because there is a kernel level market for hacks.
It’s Valve, they’re a big corporation. Of course they do sneaky things.
As long as they keep providing a decent service I’ll keep using their things, just like Google.

Strife Closed beta
64-bit only
I have to note that their website design is much better than your typical linux game fodder
Waiting on Feb 28 to try this sucker out
Never did get an invite, but if it’s 64bit only then I suppose I don’t mind.

Paragon Evolved

Unity Quake 3 in a Tron suit
Demo starts, menu interaction is fine.
No ability to change key bindings
The demo freezes for me whenever the window is in focus, in game.
If I change focus to another window it seems to run perfectly fine. It’s when I try to interact with it that it throws a hissy fit.

Bitchin’ soundtrack is bitchin’
I liked the art style but fell in love when it was brought to my attention that it could cause fk mothering seizures \:D/
Knocking it a chair the decided lack of children

Shank in a full metroidvania outfit.
None of the gritty stuff
It’s all colorful and cheery

Where Shank and Mark of the Ninja fell short, Guacamelee succeeded.
Tight and responsive controls paired with an out-of-the-box working PS2 Dual Shock can only mean one thing…

Pacing is spot on. Really, piss me off just enough and I keep coming back.
Most modern games are just too easy

Little disappointed the chickens don’t try to kill you after turning red.    Pollo Loco indeed
Gotta love Luchadores
P-
On the first go, it sucked me in for over an hour without me even realising it.
It’s like Shank and Dust: An Elysian Tale got drunk in some random mexican bar and this was their dumpster baby.
At least it doesn’t take itself seriously. Unlike the aforementioned two.
Random pop culture references are actually pretty mild and, considering the general tone of the game, well placed.
It does prey on the mexican stereotype to get some cheap laughs, but it does so successfully.
Have to duck it a chair because, like most metroidvania games, it resorts to having you backtrack like some obsessive compulsive lunatic in order to squeeze some extra game time.
