cool! good to know that it run on your systems now :)

The next beta should include music and sound effects (they are incomplete atm), I have just included the sound engine initialization at this point. About mouse pointer, several options will be added in the existing menu so the player can choose what suit him best (sensitivity, mouse movement style), it's mostly in config file for the moment. The tutorial will be updated to make controls tweaking easier.

About character speed. I think I will lower it on earlier levels and raise it gradually to let the player get used to the game mechanics.

Thanks for the help!

I might pay 5$ for this on sale, but these tracks seem really narrow.

Running any NFS or Burnout Paradise on Wine has tragically failed leaving me carless in terms of "gaming on linux". There's a real market for good Linux Racers imo. Hopefully the Arcade 90s Racer will be done soon :(

Quoting: TealCome on, this is completely bogus, don't jump at it like this. It's nonsense.

And do you have proof that it's fake? Them not being affiliated with Valve doesn't prove anything since SteamOS is open source.

You raise a good question loggfreak. I've hypothesized that it could be:

1. Future proof the system. A normal user can learn to unplug and plug in a GPU. Not so with a CPU (different pin positions for different generations, different CPU heatsink designs, application of thermal paste and determining if the motherboard will support newer CPUs are all enthusiast level knowledge)

2. Intel's shady business behind the scenes. They have a stronghold on certain vendors, and force them to sell their higher end CPUs regardless.

3. The average computer user is more likely to think a computer is "powerful" if it has more core numbers and a higher clock speed, rather than knowing the difference between GPUs.

4. The future is multi-threaded application and game development.

These are just my guesses, and like you, I truly wonder why they pair them so oddly. These types of things are always fun to learn about when the industry lets everyone in on it.

Good old random competition !

I wish the devs would have put some extra time in it to make a "SteamOS version" whitch would eliminate these small, obvious flaws for a PC game. For this port, I'd pay 2-3 €.

why the hell do they sell the 750 TI version with a i7 ????
i keep wondering why companies keep doing stupid things like that, an i3, fx6300 or fx8350 is more than good enough for gaming with a graphics card like that, why spend 3 times more on the cpu than on the GPU ??????
it will end up making the machine overpriced for the performance you get, with an i3 you save 200$ without compromosing more than 3 fps

Both the G20 and the GR8 are gonna launch in Q3 before the launch of SteamOS and will come with Windows 8.1 preinstalled, but they have announced that once SteamOS launches there'll be a SteamOS version that comes bundled with the controller and SteamOS preinstalled.

I wish there was a filter on Stem where all mobile games could be filtered out.

Ahhh ASUS! My favourite brand, has been so since all they did were motherboards back in the days.

And dang they look cool too, these machines. This might end up on my to-buy list.

I'm not sure games made for 20" monitors will be playable on 5" screens. I don't see much dev concern about resolution and text font adaptations even for "couch steamers", let alone for a 3rd-party portable Steam machine.

Please can someone get me a towel? I can't seem to stop drooling.

I can't imagine that it'd be any good for online games (TF2/L4D/DOTA/etc), but offline games? Yes, please!

If this lives up to my expectations, it will be the best portable console ever (in my opinion). I mean, it would actually play real PC games, sure it will be weak, but with lower resolution you can probably run some good classics. Left 4 Dead 2 will probably run without a problem.
The mobile games might even look better than what this would be capable of, however the only decent mobile games are ports from older consoles, rest seems to be generic stuff, mostly pay 2 win.

One of the funniest games I've ever played! The speech mechanics are really nice, especially in the sequel, in which you got to cheer up mates with farts or literally slap some sense into them. Or was that still the first game? I don't remember quite clearly anymore.

Asus! Finally a brand I can trust. These guys are solid when it comes to good hardware components and engineering. Everything I can get from Asus, I get from Asus (motherboards, GPUs, sound cards, routers etc).

Best of all, most of their stuff works right off the bat with Linux. Heck, I have Ubuntu 14.04 installed and running without a hitch on an Asus G750JX which is a top of the line ROG gaming laptop!

P.S: Even had a motherboard shorted by a thunderstorm. A quick follow of their manual, and the board was up and running again within the hour. It's been almost 3 years since then, still running!
