  • We. The Revolution via GOG

    Just ended this one. It's the last of the single player games I bought recently to see if SP games are for me. I liked it a lot and it had me hankering for some more reading material around the french revolution.

    I can not put into words whether the game was fun for me or not. I tend to associate video gaming fun with excitement and the rush of adrenaline. This game by it's nature had me pausing and reflecting more on the characters and their plights.

    Overall I enjoyed it but it was very different experience than what I am use to.

  • Splody via itch.io

    This is an excellent Bomberman Clone. My wife and I love this game and play a few rounds before bed. Co-op or VS is a lot of fun.

  • Mother Russia Bleeds via GOG

    This game is just becoming a staple of the family gaming experience. Currently, we are unlocking all of the drugs via of Arena.

  • Fatal Fury Special via Humble Bundle/MAME/Mednafen

    There are a few locals coming up for retro-fighters and this is THE FIGHTING GAME, I loved growing up as a kid. It's still lots of fun and the linux release via Humble Bundle and GOG are compatible with MAME. Two of the locals are on original Sega Genesis hardware so I am learning that version also since I never messed with consoles growing up very much.

My brother and I play via Parsec all of the computers we own growing up like the Street Fighter releases and VF games. He recently went all in on Linux but kept his Windows machine for Parsec only. This would be the kind of thing to bring back to Steam if I can implement for my non-steam games.

DRM-free store GOG are doing a back to school sale with lots of discounts

I'm not interested in clients. I just want the DRM-FREE binaries that GOG and others places offer. The only clients I am interested in are those like Lutris, Emulation Station and Gamehub so that I can configure them as I see fit.

Picked up 2 games - one for me and another for my wife. May GOG stay strong forever.

I hope this hits GOG or itch.io.

I wonder if this game will ever come to GOG or itch.io. I want to give it a spin again but I would like a DRM-FREE copy.

While everyone was trying to see who would win the gaming wars - Consoles, Computer, Handhelds, Mobile....the true winner has always been browser.

Think about all the people, mostly kids, that jump on to all kinds of rigs and hit a browser based game. Even me as an adult, I've played a ton of browser based games back in the early days of Linux gaming when I tapped out all of my old Windows CD games and got a little tired of running DOOM and UT99.

Currently, I have a few hundred hours in surviv.io. I have no doubt that this will be a success if they get the latency issue down and they deliver. But even if Google fails this seems to be where the majority of video gaming is going.

Me? I'll be on itch.io and Humble Bundle rocking DRM-FREE games til the wheels fall off. With a sprinkle of these browser based goodies.

The dev of "Marble It Up!" had intriguing words to say about the native vs Steam Play argument for a Linux version

I left Windows OS nearly 20 years ago. I had stacks of games that I was saying goodbye to but over the years thanks to WINE all of my library is now playable. As I go forward and continue to support games that I like I would prefer native but if they make a DRM-FREE version that works via WINE and such...I'm good with supporting that too.

This game have a nostalgic effect on me, and those damn ghosts are still scary as hell :O

I have the original on GOG and in the original BOX, where do I see this discount at?

Man. I saw the title and thought that sounds great. Hoping it would be drm free. Then I saw that itch.io link and happiness filled my soul!
