I spent two weeks riding in one of those trucks with my ex and her dog once, it was quite the experience. Those cabs are surprisingly comfortable, and a little effort makes the living quarters in the back quite liveable indeed. It'd be a tempting game just for the nostalgia value in my case, although it's a shame there aren't Canadian maps. A Toronto-Halifax run would be really challenging, especially with the hills involved and the perennially bad roads near Montreal.

What I'd love is a simulator game that takes something like Google Maps and allows you to drive around long distances on real roads. For a non-driver who would like that feeling of travel that would be ideal.

This looks right up my alley so far. Signed up for email updates, i'm hopeful it'll be good.

This is giving me strong Divinity: Original Sin flashbacks. Promised Linux during kickstarter, dragged their feet, gave excuses when they could be bothered to respond on the subject at all, suddenly decided to do console ports instead, started funding sequel before Linux for the original game ever appears. Very similar track between these two games.

I've been so looking forward to this. It's pretty much impossible to avoid spoilers for this game, but I've been trying my best to make it a fresh experience. I haven't even listened to the soundtrack, and people say that's one of the best parts!

Bit of trivia, apparently this was mostly created in Andrew "Homestuck" Hussie's basement.

More PvE is a good thing. Lore would be good too, hope they put more of that in once the mechanics are solid.

Civ V and Dungeons of Dredmor mostly, but I did play through Whispering Willows and I took Knights of Pen & Paper 2 for a test drive. All good stuff, well worth playing.

Nice! I pre-ordered this ages ago (during the Last Life kickstarter wrap party), and he was saying it would definitely be for Linux from the start. That was before his heart condition slowed down development of course.

So I'm not surprised to see he's still committed to a multi-platform approach. 100% looking forward to release.

My enthusiasm for this game has been eroding since I learned that questing and lore aren't really big parts of the game, and this just speeds the process along. I'll probably be skipping this one.

Quoting: Mountain Man

QuoteI know everyone doesn't celebrate the same occasions and holidays and what-not, so I will simply say Happy Holidays and wish you all the very best.

Screw political correctness and just say, "Merry Christmas." Anybody who doesn't like it can shove off.

This is the last place I expected to see that nonsense....

(psst..."Happy Holidays" traditionally meant Xmas plus New Year's and (American) Thanksgiving, and goes back further than at least the 1860s - learn your history)

And all the best to you too, Boss! Same to all the staff and the fine commenters, and the regular chatters on the Friday livestreams as well!
