I kind of wish I could just get the one game I’m interested in and have the proceeds go to these orgs. That’s a lot of "junk" that’s going to sit in my account otherwise.

The animation is so good, I can’t wait to see some actual gameplay and writing, though.

Steam getting expanded support for Soundtracks with a Sale Event on January 20

Quoting: NanobangI haven't ever bought a game soundtrack, so I'm probably missing something. I can see the logic behind making a game's soundtrack available to those who owned the game. They would've heard it when they played the game and know if they wanted to hear more of it outside the game. Myself, I can't imagine wanting to buy a soundtrack I hadn't heard before. Is this something people do a lot? Just curious.
Not typically, but if I heard a great soundtrack somewhere and didn’t want to buy the game it’s from for any reason, I might still want to own the soundtrack. There’s a few games I can think of that have come close, including a Kickstarter project that failed but would have had music by one of my favorite bands.

Obviously I wouldn’t buy a soundtrack without having listened to it first.

Looks like something that would take me ages to figure out :S:
Cool idea nonetheless!

Finally a music store where my purchases will count as a Linux sale! :D

Seriously, though, good stuff.

Quoting: PangaeaWindows IS still going in the wrong direction. Long may it continue.
But why tho?
What is the reason we "hate" Windows? Is it just because, or is it because it's going in a wrong direction?

Wouldn't it be better for everyone if it just started to go in a good direction instead?
Of course this is not likely to happen, but it's a valid question.

I for one wouldn't care for Linux growth if Windows would be a decent, non-spyware OS. Tho that doesn't mean I'd switch, far from it.
My thoughts exactly. I don’t love Linux because "it’s Linux", like someone supports a sports team because it’s based in their town. I love it because it does things right. If Microsoft did more things right, everyone would benefit, starting with the masses of people who don’t know there are better alternatives and just buy a computer at the store.

Microsoft doing more open source, embracing open standards and having less spyware and better security should be something we can all look forward to. Especially since YOUR data is going to end up on a Windows system no matter what OS YOU use. Windows continuing to suck and get worse is only really helpful insofar as it drives people to better alternatives, and I would rather it be an advocate for those best practices than drive people to them out of sheer exasperation.

In a world of botnets, State profiling and corporate interests, "bad computers" are a threat to the whole network.

I’m keeping an eye on LUNA The Shadow Dust, and very curious to finally see what Death Trash looks like at release :)

Thanks for taking the time to put this list together, Liam!
