AfterShokz Gamez... We have a whole house full of AfterShokz gear (including the recently crowd-funded "Trekz Titanium" and I simply cannot recommend them highly enough... You could also look at the Trekz Titanium, but I believe there's a bit of a wait, since those that crowd-funded it are the priority.

Anyway, the AfterShokz products are surprisingly good quality, sweat-resistant (I can personally vouch for this - I've been running with my Trekz Titanium for most of summer!) and safe for your ears.

Quoting: EikeThe mail I've got doesn't display right in Kmail, neither as plain text nor as HTML.
Plain text ony shows the "Login detected from: ..." line, HTML view shows nothing, only white.

In Thunderbird, it only shows the content of the e-mail if I manually change it to text-only (i.e. Thunderbird won't auto-detect this particular e-mail's format)... Otherwise I just get a blank (white) e-mail with the subject "GamingOnLinux: New Login Notification".

Quoting: ShaoluI guess the lesson here is that if a developer lists Linux support as a stretch goal, expect the deadline to be stretched as well.

And this is exactly why I won't crowd-fund a game which claims to support Linux-based operating systems, unless the developer has a history of supporting Linux-based operating systems (preferably within a reasonable timeframe) and/or there are other encouraging factors at hand (such as a trial or demo for Linux-based operating systems)...

All too often developers promise "Linux support" without having any knowledge of what's involved; or promise "Linux support", only to change their mind later or delay the game considerably.

Anyway, back on-topic - if and when this game comes to Linux-based operating systems, I'll pick it up... I can't say I played the previous games all that much, but when I did, it was a lot of fun... I don't see why this should be any different.

I've gotta be honest, I'm not a big "Street Fighter" fan... Mortal Kombat was always my preference.

But for a SteamOS/Linux-based operating system release?

I'll go out of my way to buy this, and early on, too! If a developer like Capcom is going to support Linux-based operating systems, it's the least I can do...

Quoting: operaSkullgirls finally released on Linux! Nice! :)

I wasn't planning on buying any games this week - but the moment I saw the Linux version of Skullgirls (with all of the DLC to boot!) - I was sold!

Ah guys?

The only mention of Linux is (from the site FAQs)...

QuoteIs the game available for Mac or Linux?
Banished is currently only for PC’s running Windows. However, I’d like to make Mac, Linux, and SteamOS versions in the future.

Maybe I'm missing something, but that's not what I'd call encouraging...

Between the enthusiasm for Linux-based operating systems shown by Nvidia, and the wide support for their products (graphics cards) by games compatible with Linux-based operating systems, I throw my full support behind the company... In the past, I never really gave too much though to the brand of graphics card used in a computer, but now? I won't buy a computer unless it has an Nvidia graphics card and actively avoid computers using AMD graphics cards...

My last few computers have used AMD graphics cards (high-end models, in some cases) and I was (obviously) not always opposed to AMD, but they seem only semi-interested in Linux-based operating systems (something that seems to be changing, albeit slowly...), their graphics cards almost always pale in comparison to the performance of equivalent products from Nvidia (under Linux-based operating systems) and support for AMD products in Linux games is appalling (how many titles have poor or no support for AMD graphics cards?).

Just my 2¢...

I have been dying to get my hands on this since the moment I found out it was coming to Linux-based operating systems... It's never every game I go out of my way to buy on Launch Day, but this is one such game!

I saw a review of this on Good Game a few weeks back and it looks pretty interesting... I'd get the game if it were to come to Linux-based operating systems.

But, one should never buy a game until they're actually available for Linux-based operating systems, so I'll wait and see what happens...

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyWill it be as bad as their last game?

Are you high?

I bought "Gone Home" purely because everyone online was raving about it and because it was on special... But three hours later, I had fallen in love with the game and wished I paid the full price (though I sort-of made up for this, by purchasing a "special edition" new from the developers directly, which included the CD soundtrack)!

Although it's not really much of a "game" (an "interactive story" would be a more fitting title), I simply cannot recommend Gone Home highly enough... You're not going to "play" it over and over, nor are you likely to "play" it regularly, but you will be glad you "played" it through at least once.

By the way, for anyone interested, the adorable (*cough cough* cute *cough cough*) Nixie Pixel has uploaded a short overview of this game, too:
