Steam News :

Nuclear Nucular Dawn update 7.1 released

http://steamcommunity.com/games/nucleardawn/announcements/detail/1712801214238650721

Seems like a lot of learning for a game nobody plays.
Linux players can now play against Mac and Windows players.
- WHY IS THIS EVEN A FEATURE
It works, you can play on the regular servers now.
Unfortunately, Linux users came a little late to the party and other players are a bit too good for lilâ€™old me.

Ya RUBE

http://store.steampowered.com/app/292090/

â€œThe first and only official Rube Goldberg puzzle game.â€ whatever the hell that means Â
App game is app. Really, this shite should be flagged.
- Yeah, I thoght â€œThis might be neatâ€ until I realized that the reviews came from touch arcade and â€œpad gadgetâ€ (giggity)
1.99 in Play Store
2.99 on the iTunes
4.99 for clicking â€œexportâ€ ??? PROFIT!
- It looks like Steam has become the best place for Unity developers to make a quick buck.

Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink

http://store.steampowered.com/app/284830/

Nightmares of the Steampunk
Donâ€™t even need to watch ze trailer. Somebody gets kidnaped and you point-and-click shite ..the end.
FFS! Just watched ze trailer. Exact game mechanics as Nightmares from the Deep.
- Well duh, welcome to every point and click adventure ever!
- Also its the same people. Â Â Not very original thinkers these ones
Light PnC/Hidden Object game makers are better off sticking to what they know and Artifex Mundi is stuck, nailed and riveted to what they know.

Out of the Park Baseball 15

http://store.steampowered.com/app/272670/

Has anyone ever met a baseball/football management sim fan IRL?
- yeah, he hangs out with that sober irishman I met at the gay klansmanâ€™s synagogue
- I heard him and Peter Griffin hang out at the bar most nights.
3D ballpark and 3D ball flight support
New Playoff matchups editor
Various AI and core engine improvements, making the most realistic game even more realistic.

1998 THE GAME

http://store.steampowered.com/app/264080/

The interesting part of this is, I was hitting my head on the wall a few of days ago trying to remember the name of this game. The next day, lo-and-behold!
But this is one of those cult games that if you get into its mindset, itâ€™s pretty damn good. I think Iâ€™m going to get it now that it is on Linux.
I like how this thing needs to be played at 800×600. Â Â Its imperative

News:

AMD Catalyst 14.4

http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-linux-beta-driver.aspx#

AMD was forced to fix the cg shader mip mapping bug that caused Ogre3D games to segfault at launch, in order to get all the features out of OpenGL 4.4.
Guess they are taking the Steam Machines seriously after all.
Frame latency is still all over the place, but 3D performance is still reasonably better than the open-sauce variant.
I knew the drivers were shite but after reading â€œhey I can almost play L4D2 at a proper frame rateâ€ just ..damn
Iâ€™m only seeing minor performance improvements on my APU system.

Suck it

In all fairness I never expected a BL2 port.

The president of Gearbox Software canâ€™t get shite done
The hell do you mean â€œtalked to some peopleâ€? Youâ€™re the fk mothering president. Whip out your cock, recite America, Fuck Yeah (as is tradition) and go president some shite.
I mean, it would be nice if a large group of linux users just spammed this guy until we get a port, but I donâ€™t expect weâ€™ll be seeing any Borderlands on linuxes any time soon
I gave him the numbers and he asked me why donâ€™t I try it myself. I felt like slapping a bitch at that point!

Using OpenMWs coding standards. Â Â Neat

Now to dig out my Diablo CD.
CEL / CL2 decoding
Level rendering

All hail magic internet money!

Colour is expensive you know

Prequel to Guacamelee, now with less whitewashed genocide!
Looks like it was made in flash
Turn based strategy beatâ€™em up
A b&w game in 2014 is just ..racist
More than a little inspired by MadWorld for the Wii.

Shiny / Sounds

V-

The colour scheme of the menu is FK all mental.
Ship and planted models are meh and donâ€™t get me started on the chip-bit soundtrack

J-

Once you zoom out to get a good look at the scenario, everything looks samey
Soundrack is forgettable at best
AND DEM BACKGROUNDS

P-

The static backgrounds look a bit jarring. Especially after Jordan mentioned it!

Total-

Control

V-

Controls work for what they are.
Dinging it a chair since the thrust/weapon/shield thingy is in the upper left.

J-

P-

It has the exact same problem Bionic Dues had with the camera controls and the game sort of freaking out when the cursor leaves the window without it losing focus.

Total-

FUN

V-

I donâ€™t like TBS games and this did nothing to change that.

J-

I donâ€™t like political turn based strategy games and this did nothing to change it

P-

Theyâ€™re not kidding when they say grand strategy! One effective way of completely annihilating opposing factions, is to convince every one of your allies to dump toxic waste on their planets.
Have yet to be able to win a single playthrough though.
