Looks very nice, its a shame there is never no single player campaigns to go with linux shooters though.

Cortex Command - apareently the 32bit version works on 64bit (yet to try)
For Braid this fix located [URL='http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4825#c13']here[/URL] comment 13. (tested and works for me)

Thank you Scott! I just want to confirm that this was indeed the issue. I've
enabled the option in driconf and now Braid runs flawlessly. I've given this
solution to others in ubuntu forums and blogged about it (giving you credit for
the solution) so it doesn't get burried here.
I hope they will eventually release an update that uses an alternate
compression for the textures instead of this patented algorithm.

I tossed in 7 (I am waiting for payday as well so a little short on funds) All the games worked for me without issue.

I found this in OMG Ubuntu in the comments.
dylan-m:
You may have trouble installing the Revenge of the Titans .deb package. If you do, run this:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/revengeofthetitans/full_length_music
…then the package should install fine.

It really works!

Tried and tested 2 more games to go! If I get Braid to work then ill be happy with purchase

As I said, I plan to kick in 10$, my brother is also going to put in some money, but we shall see how much we in the end do contribute to their coffers. The problem is we need to balance this around necessary vehicle repairs. :(

The developer himself originally tried to port it, but was not able to figure it out:

Some people were using it to claim Linux was not a suitable gaming platform at the time.

I have put $5 for Braid and Cortex Command, downloading as i type. What was the Braid fiasco btw?

View this comment - View article - View full comments

Going to put 10$ CDN into the effort, even if things are a little tight at the moment. I already do own Osmos though, as Maxim is quite aware of course. And thank you Ryan C. Gordon for getting that whole Braid fiasco cleared up once and for all!

Going to get this as soon as I get home from work. I have heard good things about Braid and Cortex Command, and Revenge of the Titans looks great. I know my GF will like Machinarium. I Already Own Osmos But I don't mind having another copy :D.

I can dig that, kudos!

Glad Felix included the F12 in M.A.R.S. I bugged him about the multiple resolution option. He delivered so I made a quick and dirty overview video http://linuxgamecast.com/2010/12/l-g-c-b-reel-%E2%80%94-m-a-r-s-0-6-1-alpha/

Throw that in if you like it.

As posted on reddit (really again no need to comment twice).

The jist of my comment - I won't credit UG for 2 lines of code to add a ppa, anyone on Ubuntu generally knows how to do that.

Anyway i removed it as we are a general site not just Ubuntu related, i shouldn't have listed the ppa in the first place.

Also I forgot to link to your site as a source for the video, added it below the video for you :)

install instructions:

Replace the header image by the following:
Gaming on Linux
and add style="border: none !important; text-decoration: none !important;" to the A HTML TAG surrounding it.
Please upload the logo and replace the image url too :)

or use a cheap image that contains text

I got the idea when reading the reddit post, not sure how it came out though. The right hand side logo looks a bit off, but oh well :)

Thanks for linking the video! The video is not so random with the intended page [URL='http://linuxgamecast.com/2010/12/l-g-c-ep07-%E2%80%94-supertuxkart-0-7-rc1-first-look/']http://linuxgamecast.com/2010/12/l-g-c-ep07-—-supertuxkart-0-7-rc1-first-look/[/URL] :D

You might care to give my friends at Ubuntu Gamer some credit for noting the [URL='http://www.ubuntugamer.com/2010/12/supertux-kart-release-candidate-ubuntu/']PPA repo[/URL] :)

Re: Thinking of switching over to xenForo forum software.

From my point of view the current GOL website and forums seems fine, what do you want to add/change that you can't do with phpbb but can with xenForo ?
