[13:48] <thafreak> Morning Ohio
[13:55] <andygraybeal> heya man
[20:06] <thafreak> There are some linux gamers in here right?
[20:06] <paultag> if programming is a game
[20:06] <paultag> then yes
[20:07] <jandrusk> Sure, Nethack rules!
[20:07] <thafreak> nah...FPS is my bag
[20:07] <thafreak> so no is the answer i'm infering from your responses
[20:07] <jandrusk> Nethack in Emacs rocks.
[20:07] <paultag> tetris-bsd
[20:08] <thafreak> ok...let me rephrase...want to stop using my xbox, but don't want to go to windows pc games...
[20:08] <paultag> postal2 is fun
[20:08] <thafreak> is there like wine magic that works with COD...or is there like a haven for linux native games that are similar
[20:09] <thafreak> like has anything good been released since like unreal 2004, back in...well 2004?
[20:10] <thafreak> would rather give my hard earned money to companies who give a shit about linux, instead of EA, Activision, etc
[20:11] <paultag> mmmm
[20:11] <paultag> humble bundle games
[20:18] <canthus13> l4D2 should be good. :)
[20:18]  * canthus13 's wife is a linux gamer. :)
[20:19] <Unit193> Valve sure does seem handy.
[20:22] <thafreak> valve? like the steam people
[20:27] <Unit193> Yeah, haven't you been keeping up?
[20:27] <Unit193> Bleh..
[20:28] <thafreak> i thought their faq says they have no plans to support linux
[20:31] <Unit193> http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/  -  http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=valve_linux_sdl&num=1
[20:39] <thafreak> yeah just saw that
[20:39] <thafreak> but..."we're going to start doing X" is alot different than, "Here's X, go and play with it"
[20:40] <thafreak> I've been waiting like 8 years for some one to start making top teir games for linux
[20:40] <thafreak> speaking of which...how's ATI graphics these days for gaming on linux? Anyone know?
[20:42] <thafreak> everything i find on google is years old
[20:44] <yano> apparently better than Nvidia, http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/06/nvidia-linus-torvald/
[20:44] <Unit193> Meh.
[20:45] <thafreak> yeah...i'm aware of that
[20:45] <yano> :-p
[20:45] <yano> so it could be worse
[20:45] <thafreak> so do you go with the ones trying harder to support open source, or the ones who can actually perform well with 3D
[20:47] <yano> i flip a coin
