Did you apply at GOG for Linux programmer positions?

When I started reading I thought "Sounds like you are in America" but looks like the economy isn't doing much better where you are at. There are lots of jobs here, but there is still a LOT of competition. Either you have to "suck-it-up" and keep doing the same old thing you have been, or learn...

Finally released, but no Linux yet. We'll see if Wine can hold up... http://store.steampowered.com/app/258970/ Who is going to get it?

Thanks for clarifying Tinou. So PortMyApps is really for developers. If it grows and gets a lot of attention, do you think it could be an option for small one-man/two-man studios to make a Linux compatible version of their game?

I don't care much about collectors stuff, wallpapers, audio and avatars. I want the game its-self. Something I do like is commentary or "making-of" videos. Those can be very cool and interesting. I love the commentary in Half-Life 2: Episode 1 You could click on in-game icons to hear...

To me it really comes down to: Will the game play smoothly in Linux? Most Mac/Win gamers just want it to work. So if the game runs on lots of different hardware (laptops, desktops, i86, Arm) then its a success. But when we hear about games like The Witcher 2 with a Wine wrapper and people are...

It sounds very experimental, but the main purpose is for games that no longer have source code accessible. It will use Wine to make the game playable in Linux with a wrapper. I guess its all automated. That's my take at least. I can definitely see the benefits with games like System Shock 2...

Yeah, I searched and couldn't find one. So I used Google translate instead. It did a good enough job for me to understand it. Not sure why they don't have an English version?

Here is a great description of what PortMyApps is about: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/comments-1271.html

This could be yet another catalyst to push Linux gaming into the mainstream. Big games like The Witcher could insure a great future for Linux just like Valve's efforts. We'll see... GOG has been advertising it all summer Wish I had $55.00

True, I have only donated to PlayOnLinux and a few indie games in the past. Still, as you know, open source is an important part of computers and programming. Not to mention you get all the testing you could possibly want. What if you could get involved with a company and do open source...

Ah, I know the type. I've met a few Mac elitists. If its not Mac its not worth anything... It really comes down to human nature. We are all prideful about something and think we are better than others. Its just built in us. But when socializing some people have to "prove" themselves to...

Ah, got it... thats not Allen at all. He's great at showing attention to detail and spending a lot of time in trial-n-error to figure something out.

Tell me about it... I have a bunch of Steam games I plan to do guides for, so hopefully they can keep from breaking anything else

What is an elitist anyways?

Thats not a bad idea... Our site IS called Gamers On Linux Not PlayOnLinuxers On Linux I would love to have more guides on other stuff like Rasberry Pi, Samba, installing linux from USB, on and on and on But as Aryvandaar pointed out, we're kinda small. You have done a few guides on video...

How did I know Allen would say that? :p You all know the main reason I stick with PlayOnLinux For the newbees that come from Windows. It is the easiest solution for installing and setting up games. Its pretty consistent and I've had a LOT of success. So until something better comes along, I...

Nice I love it when Amazon actually hosts the games. That is how I got Crysis, Warhead and Crysis2 But all the rest of the games are just Steam keys. I'll keep an eye on Gamersgate and reddit game deals

Go ahead and post a link on www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming Of course some people will criticize you because we focus mainly on PlayOnLinux We picked up another 30 followers on Google+ because of reddit. Feel free to advertise us anywhere you want. I have posted a lot on the PlayOnLinux forums...

Uh Oh, another Steam guide ;) Hopefully Steam updates won't break anything else in the future. Looks like a cool game
