My laptop has no bios setting at all for Optimus the bios seems quite limited :(

I shall be watching from the side line hoping to see some progress on the Optimus front and keeping a Linux partition open. I will probably install Ubuntu 12.10 and keep up to date I'm hoping it will fix my hard lock up problems too - i really want that to go away as I like to develop websites on Linux as it has everything I need so easily :(

Hamish has also kindly joined the team to hopefully do reviews (was a long time coming we looked into a couple different mods for the forum but none do the job).

If anyone else would like to be able to post news please let me know, any help while I am playing a waiting game would be awesome.

I find my updates from reddit, other gaming webstes, game websites directly and people directly email them.

I cannot update my nvidia drivers from an official driver download as using Optimus the official installers don't install on Linux as it's not the main card (the current available 295 series thats via a .deb don't support my card, the 302 unstable series don't work and the guys from the bumblebee project where no help blaming the drivers, so I literally have no choice).

Also to add to it because of my hardware my desktop will freeze constantly, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes it can be an hour, no explainable reason either - pretty sure it's a driver issue that will be ironed out (i had the same thing a couple years back on my old but new at the time pc) so that's another reason I have to now use Windows.

I am happy to continue paying for and updating the site software itself etc but it needs editors to continue the website going.

Quoting: "zayko, post: 4713"Do you have a source on that Wolfire is looking to port Receiver. Because I couldn't find any mention of it.

Their official twitter is my source ;)

There's nothing wrong with delaying an official release to add in a decent new gameplay mechanic like pushing animations.

Possibly the weirdest game to come out so far this year!

Quoting: "Hamish, post: 4662, member: 6"You can download games straight from the website if you prefer assuming the developer put up purchased downloads. I am not sure why using their software to update games on their service would be considered unreasonable. And the main difference, the most important difference between Desura and Steam (and I am sure Stallman would agree with me on this one) is that Desura can not remove binaries from your machine. It has no contact with your system. At best they can remove games from your account, but that is it. The binaries are there and can be copied to places separate from their service, and I have in fact done this to give a demo I grabbed from there. So I am not sure exactly what you are upset about.

Add to this the fact that you don't even need the client, they have downloads on their website if the game developers chose to support it so if they don't - it's not down to Desura. As for games downloaded via the client, you can move them out of the Desura folders if you want and remove everything to do with Desura - unlike steam Desura gives you all bits of the game to run outside of the client.
