mount and blade is kinda cool singleplayers a sandbox with combat kinda like what i imagine chivilary is. multiplayer had a lag issue(known bug not sure if new version fixed it) on linux and is just the battles(no trying to be king/queen). the graphics look like they belong in the late 90’s but its still worth checking out during the free weekend

also darksiders now confirmed to have been worked on(https://twitter.com/TheIneQuation/status/487612207149359104) its done by the same guy who ported painkiller HD and Deadfall adventures(both good ports and awesome SP games with unfortunately dead MP). darksiders 2 isnt being worked on yet but its hinted it might be started soon(https://twitter.com/TheIneQuation/status/487622154880823296)

from what i hear darksiders should be really awesome cant wait!!!

one more year on the clock

dont know much about the port its still downloading. been evidence in steamdb for a while and now its out just in time for steam sales. Civ 5 will have to be lonely for atleast a few days now. will update later about the port quality once i have actually had a go of it!

whats next this week? CS:GO? Stanley parable? nothing?!

Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/8930

done by aspyr media its a fully native port(as far as i can tell) runs well although it did not exit cleanly but that could have been because i played it for 10 hours straight :)

just finished a 10 hour session finished with a scientific victory then decided to play on and go for the rest :) the civilization series is one of the best games ever made so happy that its out for linux and its a decent port

also dont think i mentioned this but the witcher 2 was released a while ago but turned out to be a eON(closed source broken emulation layer like wine except way worse) was broken for me at launch but found a workaround(https://github.com/KillaW0lf04/The-Witcher-2-Issues/issues/2#issuecommen...) performance is playable but poor. was looking forward to it but after buying it i was quite disappointed lucky i only wasted 4 bucks on it.

i got a 6 month subscription to this. 1st one arrived a day or 2 ago

every month you get a new mystery indie game in a nice box drm free on its own usb “cartrige”(kinda like a credit card with the usb plug flipping out) for win/mac/linux and from june onwards all games that are also on steam will include a steam key. junes orders are done so july is the next one available if anyone finds this kinda thing interesting. the products priced right imho but the postage is almost as much as the product :( and USPS takes ages to get here i hate waiting for packages from overseas
