Crunchbangers can use 'Lower quality download', it is less bloat
Thanks for that.
Reserving saturday for this activity.. Oooh I am regaining my geek qualities once again...:D

This. looks. awesome. Sad panda the LQ download is ~600MiB. Too much for me. sigh, gone are the days of lean games.

Yup. Xonotic looks awesome. Sauerbraten :Cube 2 also looks good. It is also in the repository.

I wish there was a free FPS or TPS like Max Payne for Linux. Sadly Max Payne 3 that is set to arrive next month is only for Windows and Mac.

anybody have any idea whether it is possible to compile and run this on Linux (#!)?

Do any crunchbangers play Mass Effect 3 for PC? I'd love to get some private matches going.

How does ME3 run on Wine? ME2 works alright with a crack, but performance is a little sluggish compared to XP.

I managed to finish VVVVVV last night! I resolved to beat that damn computer and didn't go to bed until I'd finished. 2 hours from start to finish, I think I died around 864 times, but I did it. Brilliant game.

Don't know, haven't tried. You would have to crack it to even try unless you run EA's Origin DRM platform in WINE.

I will just paste this link here.

I'll just echo my thoughts which I originally posted over at the Arch forums:

While I feel it's potentially good that Steam may be coming to Linux, as it suggests that developers are taking it more seriously as a platform for gaming, I'm also not a huge fan of Steam itself for the simple fact that it's just one huge DRM system. Also, call me a jaded old cynic, but I have this fear that if Linux becomes a "popular" gaming platform, it will attract "gaming jocks", and we will see a slew of "AAA" titles at the expense of some of the more interesting indie developments which are being made. I think these AAA titles are a disease in much the same way that I think Hollywood films are a disease and "user friendliness" is a disease.

In summary: Double edged sword.

I used to play dopewars on my Palm m105 big_smile

kdb · 2012-05-10 13:48:55

hey ho...
ive got an idea...
ive found in germany a "linux onlineshop" wich provides usbsticks with preinstalled debian squeeze.
http://www.linux-onlineshop.de/Hardware … ebian.geek
2 things:

first: make this usb stik #! :-)
second: add xonotic to it ;-)

i think it could work if the "load everything into RAM" boot option is used...

xonotic runns on my lenovo t61 with 2 gig ram and win 7 at a 2,1ghz cpu
so i belive it would run with #! too...

any suggestions?

greetz kdb aka trustabug

ps: have to install #! waldorf 64 ;-)

Yes! Ah virtual dope-dealing memories, that is a fun game big_smile *installs*

Floi · 2012-05-18 09:08:30

did I ever mention starcraft: broodwar? big_smile

orionthehunter · 2012-05-18 09:13:57

I have a terrible speed issue with running SC and SC:BW in Wine, at least I did last time I tried on Squeeze. Haven't tried since upgrading...

Floi · 2012-05-18 11:11:57

Well I never had any problems here. But I recently tried to get it to run on a computer I expected to be able to handle it - turned out it was much too laggy to play sad

orionthehunter · 2012-05-18 11:24:42

I'm pretty sure my issue was a Wine regression.

MazerTzu · 2012-05-19 12:23:26

Defcon, Braid, (the good old) Starcraft and GTA 3 (on virtualbox), and I really like to be continuosly beaten by GNUchess

sunfizz98 · 2012-05-19 14:05:51

Playing Diablo 3 now.

Eren · 2012-05-24 13:03:26

On Wine 1.5.4, Max Payne 2 sucked. Damn. Actually, I believe it's Nvidia drivers related thing. I complete HL, OF, and BS again and again. Love this 3 combo.

tradetaxfree · 2012-05-24 13:45:10

Try Max Payne 2 on WINE 1.3 - 1.5.4 crashes for me too on Intel drivers.

#! stable WINE debs here & for Wheezy here

Eren · 2012-05-24 18:39:14

Thanks a lot mate. smile

cbdxs · 2012-05-28 06:29:00
