    Fast internet

    Yeah, I'm worried about that as well. I am staying away from those services because I can't afford monthly payments anyways. I know I'll miss out on some games, but I already miss out on console games anyways. There are still thousands of games on PC to play. This could be a huge problem if...

    Multiple problems on Steam for Linux

    Another brownie-point for Manjaro! Those games better work, that is a rocking video card! If my GeForce 550 Ti runs all my games, yours should run them even better. Glad you got it working!

    Neverwinter Free MMO Guide

    Wow, I still have a lot to learn about Linux. I had no idea there were differences. So which desktop manager, windows manager is the fastest for gaming?

    Ugh... time to cool down

    I feel your pain. When I started learning actionscript and html years ago, I found it hard to learn because I had to trial-n-error in order to remember how it works. Its really a process of making mistakes and learning to fix them or avoid them. I have a hard time learning any new code...

    Star Wars: The Old Republic Manual Test

    Try installing dxfullsetup There are a lot of d3d "fixme's" and some x11drv I wonder if it just needs more direct x libraries installed? I'll look up that error. But it does really seem like a driver or direct x problem because its acting like FBO is causing problems. You can also experiment...

    Trying to get Farcry 3 to run (Steam)

    yeah, I avoid them unless I have no other choice because of DRM problems. I don't know what it will take for Wine to be fully compatible with all DRM (when there are so many), but I'm sure its a lot of programming since its all about security, licensing, syncing, etc.

    Playing League of Legends Help with FPS

    Awesome! Sounds like you know what you are doing. ;) I have read many times that audio can affect performance in games due to Alsa or Pulseaudio. Probably Pulseaudio. There are ways to force PlayOnLinux and Wine to use Alsa only, but it won't allow you to share audio with other processes while...

    Trying to get Farcry 3 to run (Steam)

    There still might be a no-cd crack that eliminates Steam all together, but use it at your own risk. I prefer not using it of course. :)

    Gothic 2 Gold Guide

    I love community patches. My favorites community intervention is with Deus Ex, Quake, Quake II, Morrowind and Half-Life. Wow, I have seen pictures of Gothic 2 before and they didn't look that good.

    Neverwinter Free MMO Guide

    Oh, I though it was a desktop manager like cinnamon or unity. Nemo and Nautilus are windows managers right?

    Neverwinter Free MMO Guide

    I've read that Mate is lower CPU intensive, but you can really install any desktop manager you want. I recommend Openbox. Its hard to use, but if you just want to launch a game, you log into Openbox, right-click, select Terminal and launch your game. Openbox is kinda like a safe-mode desktop...

    I've used Peppermint a few times just as a live disc. I think its really great and has a lot of potential. Yes, please let me know what you think of it!

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

    Man, thats crazy! Sad day for AAA games, but there are so many other games to choose from. This is a great example why I avoid buying games for $50-$60 on release day. I end up waiting a year or longer to buy a game on sale. That way, if I'm dissapointed, then I havn't lost much money. I would...

    You might be on to something... So what could be a new name or acronym for RPG's that is all about story, dialog and making decisions?

    Sounds like a driver problem. Are you using the proprietary drivers for Linux? AMD, Nvidia or Intel?

    Borderlands 2 setup

    Oh I didn't know you were not using PlayOnLinux. In that case, I have no idea. The only problem I ever had was the launcher. Once I bypassed it, Borderlands 2 ran flawlessly. Did you disable the In-Game Community overlay too?
