    Picked up some games on GOG.com

    The Desura client is awesome because the games are DRM free and you can launch the game without the client. I hope the GOG client is the same way. Use the client to purchase, download, update and launch your game, or just create your own shortcut that bypasses the client all together. I have...

    Why do you like GNU/Linux?

    I spent 10 years using Windows and always felt like I was at their mercy when something was changed or broken. At least the majority of that time was Windows XP, which didn't change much. I was also getting tired of tacking on an extra $100-$150 for Windows when I was building a computer. I've...

    Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition on Steam

    Did you install vcrun in the virtual drive? Might as well install all of them: vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun6 vcrun2010 The "munmap_chunk() invalid pointer" error has something to do with glibc and C+ I don't know much about it, but maybe glibc needs to be re-installed?

    Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition on Steam

    Are you able to run any other games in Manjaro? I don't see any 32-bit errors, so you must have all the correct libraries installed.

    Gothic Guide

    Ah, no wonder I like Risen so much. I'll have to see who made Risen 2 because I've read some bad reviews on it. Its cool you are doing guides for a bunch of games I don't have. Works out perfectly.

    Gothic Guide

    Got it. Not sure if its my kind of game, but it sounds pretty good. I have played Gothic 3 and am currently playing Risen. I was spoiled with Oblivion and Two Worlds, so it was hard to like Gothic 3. Risen is really fun and almost open-world. I like to include the stable graphical overhaul...

    Upgrading

    When you start testing games in Linux, feel free to post your success/problems. I found that a lot of PC games have small bugs in Wine, but still run rather well. A bunch of games run perfectly, but usually older ones pre 2007. There are guides here on the forum for Morrowind, Oblivion and...

    Gothic Guide

    Does Gothic have any graphical overhaul mods or improvements? Reminds me a lot of Morrowind. I am currently testing Rune Classic and it was released about the same time as Gothic, but its mostly linear so far. Similar graphical style.

    Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition on Steam

    I have seen screenshots of Baldur's Gate enhanced and it looks amazing. Since you are using Steam, did you disable the In-Game Community overlay? Does it even try to launch? When you launch in Steam, what tries to automatically install? ex: Dot NET Framework, VC Dist, Direct X

    You tried to make me admin. You sent me a link but it never worked. The page would load and load and load. I responded via email.

    Agreed, Facebook is not getting a lot of attention. Probably because I can't post as the administrator.

    500 games on Steam for Linux with much more on the way

    Really? Wow, I can think of other companies worse than EA... Since most of their "big" games are Battlefield, Sims, Dragon Age, Need for Speed, Dead Space, Medal of Honor, etc I havn't purchased very many. I did purchase that Origin's Humble Bundle, but EA only made about $6 off of me. I was...
