Steam News:
I see a penguin
http://store.steampowered.com/app/49520/
- But will it blend?
- Not in online mode.
- No clue what you’re talking about.
- Known bug causing crash on menu.
- I really like how on the ball they are with bugs that come up
- Cross platform multiplayer works. Â Â Played up to the first boss with Mike Teehan and his friend on windows, no issues
Â
Same day
http://blog.gameagent.com/borderlands-pre-sequel-coming-mac-linux/
- First AAA simu release? *glares at Metro*
Shadowrun Online
http://store.steampowered.com/app/267750
- As it says on the tin, an MMO taking place in the same world as ShadowRun Retu rns
- I’m curious about it!
- Unfortunately, I think it will suffer from the same kind of lack of immersion as the multiplayer mods for Fallout 1 and 2.
Stronghold 3
http://store.steampowered.com/app/47400/
- Kill it! Get it out of here! KILL IT WITH FIRE!
- Well, it runs like shite.
- The entire game IS shite.
- If you go on Metacritic (don’t know why you would) you’ll see it only got 1 Positive Critic review out of a total of 29.
- Both IGN and GameSpot, notorious for their hype of games that turn out to be shit, gave the game negative scores.
- If even those two said it was terrible, I don’t really think you should be going anywhere near that game.
Ahh-CHOOO (thank freejack)
http://steamcommunity.com/games/contagion/announcements/detail/202982573784073427
- Good on them for at least letting linux users know not to buy this one until they get the  port out
- blah blah cross platform blahdy bleedily boop
- Linux is hard, man!
Â
Tesla Breaks the World!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/314210/?snr=1_7_7_230_150_1
- “OS: Linux 3.0 or later“ This does not inspire confidence
- Don’tchu know? Linux is an OS, so they can call it by its kernel version!
- Sorry, we only support Busybox/Linux.   What’s this GNU stuff?
Ugh, I remember playing this
http://store.steampowered.com/app/312720/?snr=1_7_7_230_150_1
News:
Quit giving us keys!
- Never thought of that but yeah, valid point is valid.
- If you are throwing out wet stinky keys check /w the judge
- If they are a Tuber make them contact you from that channel
- If its a site make them contact you from an email associated /w ..the site.
- Now you know where all those sketchy arse sites that offer discounted keys obtain them.
- You can trust us though.    We’re totally not taking your keys and laughing at your stupidity.   No sir

AMD Catalystâ„¢ 14.9
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux%20x86_64
- Oh hey, 3.15 kernel support, just in time for the 3.17 release
- I’m on Ubuntu 14.04 and I have kernel 3.16.
- You fucking clods
- One chair

Nvidia is getting closer to supporting Wayland
http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/2ht4p4/nvidia_is_getting_closer_to_supporting_wayland/
- Its a shame it’s all for naught.   Mir is the future.   All hail Shuttleworth
Â
Tiled 0.10
http://blog.mapeditor.org/2014/09/tiled-010-released.html
- Everyone’s favourite 2d and isometric map editor is back with a whole whack of improvements  and bugfixes
Â
Updated Clonk
http://blog.openclonk.org/2014/09/achievement-unlocked/
- Can you say, Terraria ripped us off and now we’re piggybacking on their reasonable success.
- OG Clonk came out in 1994.
- 2010 – Open Clonk sees the light of day.
- Still uses 2D graphics but instead of sprites, the objects are now rendered in realtime.
- Update brings Achievements and configurable Scenario Parameters
- Fun project and it’s been around forever. Glad it’s still kicking.
Graywalkers: Purgatory
- Played for 15min (wondering WTF) before I realized my brain organ misread ze title
- That said, there is no chance I would recommend backing this project.
- Seriously, if you don’t know that *.zip does not retain permissions I have zero faith in your ability to deliver a functional Linux port.
- But Venn, don’t you know that Unity does all of that for you?!
- To be fair, the demo sort of works.   Basically it’s a dark fantasy wasteland style game
- Looks a bit shit to be honest
Scale:
- Nooope
- Not sure if want
- Check it out

Game: Borderlands 2
Webzone: http://www.aspyr.com/games/borderlands-2

Engine: Willow
Price: 19.99
Wazzat: Â Play as one of four new vault hunters facing off against a massive new world of creatures, psychos and the evil mastermind, Handsome Jack. Make new friends, arm them with a bazillion weapons and fight alongside them in 4 player co-op on a relentless quest for revenge and redemption across the undiscovered and unpredictable living planet.
Makes with the working
V-
- Does not remember windowed mode
- I was having hella stuttering issues until I put the framerate limiter in YOLO mode.
- Day one launch noped unless you were in offline mode. Bad form gents.
J-
- A little slow on the draw, as to be expected of unreal 3 games
- Cross platform multiplayer works out of the box
P-
- Now I’m confident giving it 4 chairs, the last update fixed the herky-jerkyness and the random freezing.
Total-
Shiny / Sounds
V-
- Sound and soundtrack were top of the notch
- Voice work was just as good. I really wanted to kill clap shack
- Graphics were great but there was no single point where I went Oooooh shiny!
- Unreal Engine 3 is getting long in the tooth organ
J-
P-
- For some reason it won’t hide the panel.
- Latest update fixed it!
Total-
Control
V-
- I can’t for the love of FMS find the perfect gerbil setting
- The default layout worked minus the inventory key. ‘I†Really?
- Like how it has cheat mode auto aim built in
J-
- Standard FPS fare
P-
- Why can’t I bind the Ctrl keys?
- Because, since the Linux version is based on the Mac port and in MacOS Ctrl is used as a modifier to emulate a right click on those 1 button mice they have, someone forgot to remove that limitation.\
Total-
FUN
V-
- It’s challenging and I don’t completely understand what the hell I’m doing …and that’s a good thing.
- At first I was playing it full-metal FPS and getting killed to death …a lot.
- Once you get on the quest bandwagon things pick up.
J-
- This is a single player FPS MMO
- The Aspie part of me likes the repetitive goals
- The critic part of me gets a bit bored by it
- It’s certainly a fun game, and the guys at gearbox did a good job of making it
- The port is top notch as well
P-
- I like it. But then again, I knew I probably would.
- Much like its predecessor, it can get a bit grindy and repetitious.
- It gets to a point where I just ignore the lower level enemies and carry on my way.
- As far as Linux gaming goes, there really isn’t anything quite like it, so I’ll give it three chairs.
- Doesn’t get 4 because being on Linux doesn’t excuse it from its repetitious-ness.
Total-Â
Final -
Even if you hate Shooters, buy this game.    It’ll give these guys some much deserved wet stinkies and help encourage more Developers to contract these guys for ports.
It’s a RPG
Correction, it’s an MMO-RPG. Go over there and kill X amount of monster Y and pick up item Z. It’s got a better story than most MMOs but considering how much more money 2K has over <insert random dev here>, it fucking well better!
