Wasteland 2 RPG Is Officially Deep Into Linux Testing
By oldrocker99, 6 April 2014 at 3:22 am UTC

I funded it on Kickstarter about a year ago, and have been waiting. I am patient, and think and hope that Wasteland 2, when it arrives, will be as professional a game as can be imagined.

Beside, there's also Torment, and Pillars of Eternity, and...

SteamLUG April Linux Gaming Events
By Cheeseness, 6 April 2014 at 2:25 am UTC

Quoting: AnonymousLast night was awesome. Please do like weekly or 2 weekly TF2 event :DDD

Glad to hear! :D

We try not to schedule more than one TF2 event a month in our primary weekend slots. The servers are always open though and people are more than welcome to use them (and our Mumble Server).

Down the track we may look at doing something more regular outside of our normal schedule, but that's likely to take a while to get together unless we get more people interested in helping out with event coordination.

Quoting: BdMdesigNIs this true: http://www.desura.com/games/serious-sam-the-second-encounter ?

Has already bought one there and tried? Or is the Linux mark only a misunderstanding here?

I didn't look at the link but I have the first and second encounter as well as serious Sam 2 installed natively in Linux but not the newer hd versions. I'm really looking forward to this.

Neat, I've already played original 1&2 on ScummVM, but it's good to have them in my Steam library now. I wonder if they come around to porting the missing parts as well.

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: HeimdallArx and Doomsday shouldn't be on there as they benefited from the source release of their games. The rest were built from the ground up.
I agree, but annoyingly I was told I was being "pedantic" by another site owner who is also an award supporter.

Well there is a big difference being given a basically finished project with Arx source and building a new engine from scratch a la CaesarIA and OpenMW. If that is pedantic, then so be it. I think they are belittling the achievement that the OpenMW people have achieved thus far.

Not to say that the Arx Liberal is project isn't cool. I love Arx and am glad they printed it to Linux. They just didn't have to do much work themselves, that was Arkane.

Quoting: JoZ3Apparently when you buy in Humble Bundle 9 You also give the BS 1, I say this because in my Steam's game list linux appear BS 1 and BS 2.

??? No, only BS 2 you get in the last Humble Bundle: PC and Android 9. I say that, because i have the bundle. And there is no BS 1 in it.

So i have only BS 2 in my Steam list.

I'm guessing you bought the previous bundle that DrMcCoy mentioned, and that you're only just now seeing BS1 on Steam.

QuoteWhile Broken Sword 2 was already on Linux thanks to the most recent Humble Bundle, number 1 is now here too

Well, the first one was already on Linux as well, thanks to a previous Humble Bundle. It never appeared in the Humble Store, though, so you couldn't get the Linux version anymore afterwards.

QuoteWhat I do know is classics like this on Linux are important

The non-remastered classic versions of the games also still work perfectly fine with ScummVM. (The remastered versions use a different engine altogether, so not supported in ScummVM.)

I would pick CaesarIA and OpenMW, if I could pick two!
