    Arx Fatalis Guide

    Back when I was busy playing Battlefield 1942, Return to Castle Wolfenstein & Half-Life... there were some amazing RPG games that just didn't get the credit they deserved. I wasn't aware of open world exploration games like Morrowind, or the ability to level up your character and customize their...

    grub problem

    I don't fully understand the syntax, but I figured out where to make the changes for adding another operating system or removing one. Like when I installed Mint 13, it automatically populated a bunch of Mint 13 "safe mode" entries that I didn't want. At one point I accidentally deleted my Linux...

    Steam Source Games Guide

    Maybe, but the reports on WineHQ is that its mostly "garbage" The last test was Feb 2013 on Fedora 18 with Wine 1.5.22 Maybe you could do some tests and try some newer versions of wine. Looks like Retribution runs ok in Wine Is Dawn of War II specifically a Steam game?

    grub problem

    I've had problems like this before too. I added a Terabyte hard drive to my system and Grub got screwed up and wouldn't boot from the existing hard drive. Took me a while to figure out which drive and which partitions to put in the grub.conf I don't understand why it can be so confusing when...

    I just hate it when this happens!!

    I've never had problems with Linux auto-mounting my drives. I did have problems unmounting drives in the past, but thats not related. A few years later I found that the problem was in the filesystems table (fstab) Fix it and didn't have a problem again.

    DOTA 2 on Steam (Free-to-play)

    Defense of the Ages It really looks exactly the same as League of Legends. I'll try it cause its free and fully supports native Linux.

    Flatout Guide

    There has been some debate about whethere Flatout is just a plain racing game or a "watch-the-ragdoll-physic-mangle-your-character" game. To be precise... its both! Race the A.I. cars or just smash into everything and watch the mangling physics. Either way its pretty fun! Flatout runs great...

    I just hate it when this happens!!

    Gotcha, thanks for the HAL information. I wasn't sure and havn't heard of it before, so I was thinking it was distro specific. Anyways, I would login as root and see if the problem still exists. If not, then its definitely a permissions problem. From there I would create a new Daniel...

    So which OS?

    Yeah, sucks for laptop users.... Ironically my Chromebook can play a number of games! Torchlight 1 in fact! It has an Intel HD 2000 chip... nothing special, actually quite old, but still plays them old games even in Linux.

    DOTA 2 The beta is over! Action and Strategy in a free-to-play online cooperative or multi-player game.Looks very good and I'll have to do a guide for it.... Signup now before DOTA 2 goes live, they have an interesting strategy to keep from overloading their servers... The Beta is over

    I just hate it when this happens!!

    HAL: Hal mounting devices Apparently Hal can be set to nomount drives connected to the computer. Or set to automount Not sure if this is the problem, but you can check it . Also, did you update PC Linux already? I read a forum post about not mounting USB drives and they did and update. It was...

    I just hate it when this happens!!

    Wow, this must be the most secure OS ever made. You can't get malware because you can't even access your own drives! You could always login at root and mount them... but at your own risk of course. I'll do some research on PC linux My spare drive in my Fedora server requires a password to...

    I just hate it when this happens!!

    the drive must not have mounted correctly. try unplugging it and then plugging it back in. Linux should automatically mount it. is this a flash drive or a 2.5 in external drive?

    So which OS?

    Did Rob say he purchased Ubuntu? I had no idea... Yeah we chatted for almost the whole day yesterday as I helped him install the fglrx and AMD drivers. None of them worked with his Acer laptop. Laptops are always the disadvantage for gaming, by the way... But Ubuntu and Mint 15 ran fine. Its...

    Ubuntu Edge smart phone funding campaign

    Yeah I was kidding... I'm guessing Canonical doesn't have an extra 32 Million to buy their own phones, so they are reaching out to the community. Which is a cool idea... have the consumer pay to get it made. The perks are ridiculously high, except $20 of course, but it doesn't get me anything...
