Surprise! Hello everyone it's been a while since I wrote anything here, so how about a chance to win some Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel keys?
The keys are Steam-only of course, and we have five keys to give-away to lucky Linux gamers that fancy their chances. These keys should be pre-order keys as well, so they should come with the Shock Drop DLC, but apologies in advanced if there is a mix-up and they turn out to be normal keys.
Shutup already, how do I win?
Simple, you need to reply to this article telling us how much you love GamingOnLinux & Aspyr Media.
Four keys can be won this way, but the last key will be given away by Samsai in tomorrow's Live Stream, so look out for that too! Be sure to follow us on Twitch and look out around 5PM UTC tomorrow for the extra key in the Stream from Samsai.
I will pick the winners around Monday/Tuesday evening UTC.
Personal note: This doesn't mean I am returning to write yet that has not been decided by myself. A key give-away is a good starting point though I am sure you will agree! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Hi everyone!
Though this is my first post, I've been a fan of GamingOnLinux for quite some time now!! I check the site three or four times a day minimum as it's the best source on linux gaming. Keep up the good work!!
Also, I love Aspyr Media for bringing us such great native ports to linux like Civ V and Borderlands 2 and I'm very excited for what might come our way next in the following months! Great job Aspyr!!

I love Aspyr for their work for long time. I have even contacted this company long time ago, when Linux support wasn't planned at all!
And I love GamingOnLinux for constant gaming news! It is only gaming web I visiting few times per day <3

Before I started reading GOL, I did not know what was going on in the world of Linux gaming. I knew that Linux had AAA titles, but the broad scale of games out there that I knew of was small compared to what I know now with GOL.
Aspyr has helped me see that games don't have to be retro to be great. Aspyr showed me that there are lots of games made for Mac too! I always thought Mac users had a very small games library. Aspyr helped me see I was wrong in a lot of things related to gaming.
To all those entering this give-away, "May the odds be ever in your favor!" and may the best Linux gamer win!

GamingOnLinux is a great resource. The news articles aren't speculative rubbish, are usually quite informative, and the community seems to have a really good attitude, setting itself apart from other sites out there for certain. As for Aspyr Media, I can't honestly say I know much about them other than their work porting over games like Borderlands 2 and Civ 5 among others. I have both and think they're brilliant work, really.
I've thought about grabbing the Pre-Sequel a bit, but the Australia Tax is a tad high. Ironic, given that 2K Aus are mostly responsible for it.

Gamingonlinux appeared in my life... a year ago, I think? And it has quickly become a site I try to check at least once a day. Luckily I checked twice today and saw this article. :P
It's really great to know that there is a community of people here who are all as passionate about linux gaming as I am, some of whom will go out of their way to talk to developers about porting their games and help to show that there truly is a growing audience of people who would love to play their games on linux machines. Sites like this are important, and I think GOL will only grow in importance in the coming years.
Aspyr is a group that I'm really growing to love. I'm so excited about the recent big name titles they've helped to bring to our OS, and I would honestly consider buying a port from them for a game I otherwise would not have played at all, just to continue to show my support in the future. Or, you know, they could just keep porting games I love and there will be no hesitation at all. :P
One of the only things I'd have to say about Aspyr is that I hope they will be able to expand! Recently it was brought up that they have quite a few projects on their plate right now, and having all of that extra work means that having the manpower to bug-fix and test their released titles is a bit tight. This is a totally reasonable problem for a group to have, and it's great to see them taking on more prjects and maintaining the momentum they've now built up. Further, the majority of bugs people are experiencing are not so critical that everything should be dropped to fix them. Hopefully they will continue to find a good balance between development and bug smashing in the coming months.

I love the work Gaming on Linux does, being a nice source of Linux gaming news that I don't get from IGN, Rev3 games, and the likes. The community here for the most part is great as well. You guys are filling a void that doesn't yet exist with the everyday gamer, soon the amount of games on Linux will be enough for anyone to switch, and you all will already be on top of things, offering insight other gaming news sources cannot.
I also love the work Aspyr Media does with porting some of my favorite games over to my favorite platform. I have been stuck on Windows for so long now, but with the work they are doing with bringing more and more of my favorite games over I will soon be able to stay on Linux. I'm still on Windows for my main gaming setup, with the exception of my Steambox running SteamOS, but soon, and I hope by next year, the amount of games Aspyr Media and the likes can bring over will hopefully be enough to get my main gaming rig over.
Thanks both of you for everything you do!

Even though our community is small, GOL showed me that there a people like me, people enjoying games on Linux. For some time now I'm reading the articles frequently. In some cases I would like to have more details, others are quite well investigated including detailed statements by the game developers.
Every game that is ported to Linux is a huge gain for the platform. Thank you aspyr, thank you valve, thank you feral and all the other companies which are interested bringing games to Linux.
