    Gamers on Linux DOTA2 league ?

    One element that frustrated me is the character doesn't follow the mouse when you hold the left button. All RPG's use this method of moving, but these Strategy games don't. When you are controlling one character its a LOT easier to move him around with holding Left Mouse button and moving the...

    Crysis 2: Guide or no guide?

    Absolutely! By the time I'm done making guides for all of my games, I'll have at least 100 guides. But by then I'll have even more games....

    Gamers on Linux DOTA2 league ?

    See if you can run a game solo with bots or something similar... That is a great way to practice. If not, then there should be noob servers you can connected to and play against people at your level.

    New humble bundle 9

    No problem... in time I think you will figure it out. Hell, it took me over a year to get comfortable enough to actually create tutorials for PlayOnLinux. I'm not even doing it the "easiest" way, but it makes the most sense. I even figured out how to add buttons to the Mint menu... which can...

    Leadwerks: Game Development in Linux

    Very nice! I am interested in seeing where Leadwerks take Linux gaming in the future. I also wonder how easy it is to use.... By the way Steve, are you a game developer or aspiring game maker? I have done a little game development in the past. Very difficult work, but fun too. I have a huge...

    Crysis 2: Guide or no guide?

    I was getting a little worried about Crysis 2 last week... I finished the Lab chapter and started the Keep chapter... of course it eventually crashed and to my surprise I couldn't load the game. I loaded several different ways and even tried restarting the Keep chapter but it would freeze every...

    Arma2 and DayZ Mod

    I have not. I don't even have it. I know there is an Arma2 free-to-play but doesn't have all the graphical bells-n-whistles. So maybe I could download it? Does the F2P Arma2 work with DayZ? I've read a lot of good things about DayZ mod and read that the developers for Arma are working on an...

    World Of Warcraft On Linux

    Awesome! Its great to other ways to install games with PlayOnLinux. Very nice guide. So World of Warcraft only runs on d3dx11, gecko and physx? Normally I install d3dx9 at least. Doesn't gecko automatically install when you install Wine?

    Crysis 2 Guide

    Crysis 2 is still playing for me. I finally got past the Keep and the Church. Major plot-turning cut-scenes after that. So I won't ruin it, but be away gamers... I had some problems with locking up and reloading. I had to start a whole chapter back to get through the Keep chapter. Be...

    Newspapers are the best

    Me either, I have a facebook account and hardly keep up with that. Actually I originally tried Google Groups, then I tried buzz and ended up just using facebook. I like the idea of Google+ but I'm afraid its just another social networking tool that will fail. I'm always logged into gmail and...

    Newspapers are the best

    I'm glad you tried it because I've always wanted to see if my Google photos or drive images would view publicly. Maybe put them on your Google+ page and then link from there?

    New humble bundle 9

    Agreed, I actually spend more time testing games in PlayOnLinux than actually playing them. Well then again, I have to PLAY them to test them, but you know what I mean... I have several other hobbies I work on too, so Its hard to get a large game going like Skyrim. I actually got it last...

    New humble bundle 9

    Awesome, Glad you are enjoying these bundled games. I'm assuming you downloaded the Linux version of Brutal Legend? It ran perfectly for me... no issues whatsoever. I hope you will continue trying non Linux PC games with PlayOnLinux too. The Majority of PC games are...

    ShadowRun Return ?

    Very nice! Its rare to find someone who still paints miniatures and plays war games. My stepfather actually does it a lot. He has whole historical battalions with to-scale structures and buildings. They have a dedicated room in the house just for war games. He painted and constructed them all...

    Wasteland 2

    I'm sure most of you already know about Wasteland 2 from Kickstarter. They raised almost 3 Million dollars to create this sequel. And its starting to look amazing. Imaging combining Fallout 3 and Borderlands then add some tactics with turn-based battles.... then you have Wastland 2. Here is a...
