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.

I love GamingOnLinux because of quality articles and news. I'm a daily viewer for more than a year.
And Aspyr, how can a linux gamer do not love them? They did the best ports ever of AAA games. Very communicative with the community.
I'm a fan of both! =)

Why I love GOL:
GOL is fundamental to Linux gaming. For most of us, it is the first port of call for news regarding Linux gaming and provides amazing and varied content. At the same time, it has been instrumental in giving Linux gamers a voice and organising us under one roof from all the dark corners of the web, and no doubt the articles and comments on here have helped get us better ports, more dialogue with developers and most likely more games! I now check (and contribute to) this site more often than anything else, not only for the amazing articles but also to see what people have to say.
At the same time, the community on GOL is amazing. The internet is full of angry trolls, but GOL is full of civilized, respectful and helpful people who just like to play games and want to see their favourite games on the OS they love. The recent situation with Liam's departure is the best evidence of this - in any other site, everything would have crumbled but GOL readers with their pragmatic and enthusiastic FOSS spirit came together and have done a great job of keeping the site going.
Why I love Apyr:
No other company in the Linux gaming space has been so engaging with the community and produced such consistently good work. In a time when the actions and behaviours of gaming companies has been under the spotlight, Aspyr is a breath of fresh air that companies even outside Linux gaming should learn from. They have been open, funny, helpful and just generally cool people to the point where many of us would buy their one of their ports just because they're the ones behind it - even if we're not huge fans of the game itself (though all their games thus far have been great).
May both GOL and Aspyr continue their work for many years to come!

Thank you for the contest,
I have been following Gamingonlinux for well over a year and in the Linux gaming community on Google+. They have kept me up to date on new game releases, general news and game sales.
Aspyr, you blew me away with your port of Borderlands 2. It runs well and I have yet to find a game breaking bug or texture issue. I am looking forward to your future ports and hope to be able to bring more major titles to Linux. Thank you for your excellent work.

I love gamingonlinux and Aspyr media because they are giving away a copy of BL:TPS. Also because Aspyr seems to enjoy what they are doing, and of course we enjoy tu support a company than cares about us. And I love GOL because all the Linux gaming news are here, and they care about asking the devs about info related to Linux stuff.

Gaming on linux is a pure delight. Let's be honest; Steam really did change the game for us. When Valve start waxing lyrical about the merits of linux, much of the industry perks up to follow where the giant leads.
I was playing some Steam games yesterday on my Ubuntu Unity install. It was a pleasure to be playing (namely Shadowrun Returns, Metro: Last light and Guns of Icarus Online) games in my favourite OS and be able to seemlessly Ctrl+UpArrow to flick to my other workspace to change the Grooveshark playlist I was listening to.
Whilst doing this, it hit me that nowadays, Linux is pretty darn stable, innovative, and finally, a capable gaming platform.
I still have to run Crossover Games, PlayonLinux and plain Wine in order to play other favourites of mine. And still I'm left having to dual boot Win7 in order to play SWTOR, Planetside 2 and The repopulation Alpha. But, GOL has come on leaps and bounds, and I can only hope the rest of the industry follows suit and starts releasing properly supported multi platform AAA games.!
and thank you GoL for your continued enthusiasm for linux gaming :)

Long time reader; first time register-er -er ... er ... anyhow, free game offer is very enticing. I couldn't say enough good regarding Aspyr and Linux gaming support. Also remarkably pleased with enjoyable news and commentary here (GOL). You make a dentist's lunch hour quite a treat.

I love Aspyr as I loved Loki back in the day. They are pushing foward, having to struggle with technology leaps from platform to platform. They are giving me good games to play on my platform of choice and I couldn't be happier to be not rebooting all the time these days.
