I have always manually updated Windows. So yes, it downloads in the foreground while you wait. I would just go do something else and then come back. At least I have control over the updates and when they install. Then I tell it to install and shutdown. I have to admit, even Linux updates are...

i feel your pain Steve! My list of failed games is small, but most of them are because of a 3rd party client or DRM. Really sucks because I know those games will run just fine! I could use a no-cd-crack, but I rather encourage people to play game with honor and pay for them. But in some cases...

I don't really follow those big AAA game titles. I usually hear about them later on and then try them out when they are on sale. So I didn't hear about the controversy until now. Either way, I'll be personally finding out. Kinda sucks, but I see why the community was upset. Allowing your...

Ugh, I wish there were some simple tips for when I started. Now I have to start all over. Well, someday.... I guess Risen is on hold for now. I keep all of my save games, but I wouldn't mind starting over. I joined the Monastery early on. Well, they kidnapped me, but I learned the staff and...

Hmm... no audio? I havn't had an audio problem since Mint 16 and I never remember having no audio. You are the pulseaudio & alsa expert. I would have asked you about it. Maybe your pulseaudio fix is conflicting with the game?

Guess I will find out. I still have to play 2 & 3 I just love how cinematic they are and all the choices you get to make about your character and team. This is the first I've heard something negative about them.

Wow really good questions. I am not familiar with Elementary OS, so I'm not sure what services/processes can be eating up your processing. What Nvidia card do you have? I have a GeForce 550 Ti and it runs League of Legends without any frame rate drops. Smooth as can be! One thing you could try...

Wow, the graphics are actually pretty nice! This is vanilla right? I'm surprised that GOG.com didn't include the widescreen patch. It must be a community made patch huh.

World of Tanks seems to have the same "catch 33" where you risk playing against the obsessive pros or the kid who screws off and shoots everybody. Even people on his own team. I had a lot of fun roaming around maps looking for ways to flank the enemy. You can also hide in large shrubs or...

Yeah, keep checking in to see what guides we are posting. Feel free to request a guide. Between me and Daerandin, we should have it.

When does it crap out on you? Check my guide because I remember the "launcher" doesn't work with Wine. so you have to add an argument in PlayOnLinux: -NoLauncher Something like that.

Its fun, but for some reason every time I try a battle I end up in a soccer game with tanks. I can't figure out how to play a standard battle anymore.

You are probably right, but I feel there is a little shame with online guides because I should be able to figure it out on my own. I rarely go to guides unless I'm completely stuck in a game. Like Portal, but its a linear game. One more thing... I have noticed that magice in Risen is not used...

Ah, no wonder you like the Gothic games. I don't mind tedious dialog either. Even if there is no voice-over audio. Like in Morrowind. A lot more to read since they didn't record audio for every word. But I know mainstream games are catering to a wider audience, so they have to include more...

I already got it last time it was free. Awesome game! I might actually play it right now!

I see why publishers use DRM... but I agree with your comment about punishing us. When DRM doesn't work its a HUGE punishment. Why would you want to punish those who actually paid for your game? 90% of the DRM I have used in Windows works fine. I rarely ever have a problem. Now in Wine and...

They didn't go into a lot of detail, but as long as I can level up my character, loot lots of armor/weapons, complete quests in any order then its an RPG as far as I am concerned.

So are you saying most people don't have a huge retail collection like me?:p

I'm having a hard time completing side-quests in Risen. The quest map only shows a dot where you talked to the person and (sometimes) a dot where you are supposed to go. But thats it... If I can't find the location or item, then I'm stuck. For example, my character is investigating a murder at...

I agree. What was that website where you could sign up and play any game via streaming? Basically the same idea. You login, use high speed internet to stream video/mouse/keyboard to your PC No installations, no drivers, no hardware fuss, no OS fuss. The cool thing with SteamOS is that its...
