We have Ten Copies Of The Fantastic Victor Vran To Give Away!

Wow, Liam, you keep outdoing yourself. I have nothing witty to say, so let me tell you a true story.

My dad was an officer in the military, and thought that the best alternative to a baby sitter was taking me to a firing range. The first time I got to shoot an assault rifle I was about four years old. There is even a picture of me standing next to a rifle, and the rifle is taller than me. Those were different times indeed.

Now you need to extrapolate this 25 years into the future and you will see that by now I should have mastered every weapon imaginable, making me the ultimate hunter. Cannot argue with science.

QuoteI hope they manage to sort the issues to bring out a Linux version.

I hope so too, but right now it does not sound very reassuring. Experience tells me not to get excited about this.

Volo Airsport, An Air Gliding Game Released For Linux, We Have Keys To Throw At You

QuoteIt will take a while to get the hang of it, as the control scheme is pretty unique.

Did you try it with a controller / gamepad, or mouse and keyboard? Is it playable with mouse and keyboard at all?

QuoteSeemingly unfair, untimely and unforgiving deaths which are also permanent.

Oh wow, games are getting more realistic every day. :)

As a loyal penguin I am perfectly content right here on the ground. Flying is so overrated anyway. I mean, what's the big deal? A humble penguin should not engage in such reckless activities anyway. We penguins say: when on ice you feel nice, fly through the sky - sure way to die.

Could still try it in a video game though. Purely for science, of course.

Quoting: coeseta
Quoting: ripperThey could at least learn saying "Windows".

Exactly my thoughts when I read the quote.

Oh come on, if they want to say PC, let them have it. It is just as meaningless as the whole Linux vs GNU/Linux debate. Sometimes the distinction is important, but most of the time it is not.

Nothing is ever released on Linux until it is released on Linux.

Quoting: srlsboyIt's on sale. 75% off. We will miss it when the port is released.

Nothing is released on Linux until it is released on Linux.

Please do not buy games based on promises or rumours just because they are on sale. In the best case you are depriving the Linux porters of their payment, and in the worst case you are just buying a Windows game.

Preview Videos About SOMA, A Horror Game By Amnesia Devs, Are Popping Up

I am a huge fan of Penumbra series, and enjoyed Amnesia, so I have really high expectations for this one. By the way, Amnesia and A Machine For Pigs should not be mentioned in the same sentence. :P

Get Your Hands On A Steam Controller Early, If You're A Developer

I wonder if this is actually some sort of "Developer Edition", and if so, how it differs from the consumer version?
