Aww, why'd ya have to bring up Carmageddon... :'(
After all this time, that broken promise still hurts.

Parkitect beta 8 adds in new rides, new sound effects and more
4 July 2018 at 7:38 pm UTC

I need/want this game... what I don't need/want is yet another great game collecting virtual dust in my Steam library. :|
Who has time to play these days? First world problems I guess...

Quoting: GustyGhost30, 40, 50 are only significant because we use a base 10 system.
True, then again I personally couldn't give any less f*cks about my numeric age.
8, 40, 111, 10000...

Anyhoo, it will be a little bit extra special next year when GoL turns 10. <3

Techland haven't decided if Dying Light 2 will be on Linux
29 June 2018 at 3:57 pm UTC

Dying Light is possibly my top fav game of all time, will be real heartbreak if the sequel doesn't make it to Linux (natively) :(

We've teamed up with GOG for another fantastic giveaway: Surviving Mars & Iconoclasts
14 June 2018 at 2:55 pm UTC

Surviving Mars sounds like it could be a sweet game.
Here's a couple of good/bad "jokes" related to Linux...

  • You can't play games in Linux

  • Steam Machines

  • Photoshop

  • Fresh packages in Debian stable


GOG are giving away Ziggurat in the second week of their Summer Sale

Quoting: Aryvandaar
Quoting: Mountain ManThese random giveaways are why I look through my Steam library every now and then and say, "When the hell did I get this?"

Yeah, I have no idea what 50% of my steam library even is.
Too true, it's not even funny. Ok it's a little funny. :)

Play It Now - MidBoss
10 June 2018 at 8:30 am UTC

Quoting: scaineI tell you that if you buy this game in a half price sale, you're getting an absolute bargain.
There's also the reality that my Steam library already contains hundreds of games I've yet to really play or in some cases even install(!), and those are games I actually want to play ;)
I could potentially buy MidBoss anyway just because it could be a great game, and I'd support a Linux game developer. It's only money after all...

Quoting: scaineIf someone told me they'd perfected a pint of beer, and then told me that I could try it for £5.50, I'd say, sure, why not? Even if I don't like it, it's just over what I'd pay normally, right, and what if it's great?
PS. Love the beer analogy, I'm a beer man myself. :) Most expensive one I had was a tiny halfglass for about 10€. It was quite likely the best stout I've ever tasted. Limited brew of only 1000 bottles that was not sold publicly. An impossible love story!

Play It Now - MidBoss

Nice article once more!
MidBoss sounds cool, but much like every other time I had that exact same thought, I then take a closer look and have the same reaction every time: Eeeeh... mjeh.

It just doesn't feel like I'd enjoy playing it.
Not sure if I'm missing a great game here... :S:
