Re: Games....
Ah wow, I haven't looked at gog in years, I think last time I sent a complaint with my unsubscribe telling them until they got linux, they were useless to me. Maybe they listened, or at least followed Steam's trend, but score none the less. And wow, there are a ton of games for linux on gog that bring back fond memories, now with apparent linux support. Awesome tip James, thanks! Another game I still break out occasionally and play under linux is Decent1/2, that had their executables ported to linux/gl natively by a random fan years ago (d1x/d2x-rebirth), which is still a great game imho and a fav of mine. Amazingly, it works on 3 monitors in full screen, which was even better, and I could still plug in my old usb Sidewinder controller and go to town. -mb On 06/18/2015 12:46 PM, James Mcphee wrote: Don't forget GoG.

Re: Games....
For linux? Not bad actually, Steam is getting more all the time, though your still not going to find any of the "most wanted" or "newest releases" out on it yet like COD, Assasins Creed, MMO's, etc. Fine because I suck at twitch games anyways. I'd be happy if they'd just port all the old jrpg games to it that are mostly 2d anyways. Developers still almost exclusively code games around windoze directx drivel, mostly so it's an easy port to xbox or windoze, and covers probably 70% of their potential market at least. Video card vendors will hack out driver changes for any AAA game that mishandles directx instruction so kids don't take to forums flaming how bad their drivers are, but you'll see quick with video card hardware under linux how bad they can be. See some of my posts about amd/fglrx nightmares. I don't often play games, but when I do, they're usually old (like me) anyways. I'm good with busting out 20 year old games, old snes/genesis/ps1 roms, which tend to be readily available with emulators under linux, or even android. About the newest shooter I enjoy is Postal2 (circa 2005) that works great on linux, and that's just more because it brings me back to Beavis and Butthead level humor running around peeing on people, especially once you unlock the flammable pee. Much like GTA games, more fun to just run around causing trouble vs. actually playing the levels - great stress relief after a bad day at work. I think even game publishers realize younger people buying games don't really watch tv anymore to bother advertising there, at least not on ota feeds. -mb On 06/18/2015 11:27 AM, Michael Havens wrote: I am not a gamer but I was wondering how the selection of games is in recent times.
