Anyone been playing the Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal Linux Betas? I feel like Valve deserves a huge pat on the back for making such huge progress in Linux gaming, and have hopes other developers will follow.

Quote: This is very interesting. Looking forward to your findings!

Bump.

These finally got in... after taking forever to clear customs and being routed to the wrong post office, etc. These are my wife's so I won't be trying them out until she's had the opportunity to enjoy them first.   Sony MDR-XB400/RED (Imported from Japan):  

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a fast, inexpensive USB drive; preferably small enough to fit on your car keys without adding too much bulk. $25-ish? 8 GB or more?   This would be used to run a portable OS.   The fastest USB drive I have to date is my SanDisk Cruzer Contour 16 GB...

Discovered Ubuntu 12.10 when Valve released Steam for Linux and was promoting it a couple weeks ago. A lot of people unfortunately installed it just to get a free, limited in-game Tux penguin, but for me I ended up loving it and it is now my main OS.   Still very new and figuring things out...

You know, I've been doing so much reading on recent FiiO products that I forget my now ancient, discontinued E7 doesn't even have S/PDIF.   Does it show because it uses a similar chip to the E17, as if they were planning ahead?

Just a little confused as a day 2 Ubuntu user.   I have two audio outputs I can select for my FiiO E7/E9; Digital Output (S/PDIF) and Analog Output as you can see here:     The good news is, both work. I get sound regardless of what I choose.   My question is, which should I be...

Went to my local Sony store to try these out, and found them to be very bassy as advertised. I found HiFiGuy528's reviews to be very accurate.   I went with the intention of picking up the XB400's for my wife as a closed-portable, and for me it was the most impressive for the money...

Oooh! When will this be available? Price?

^ Very nice.   Also, the Steam holiday sale has been extended to Jan. 7th as an encore. BL2 for $29.99, and 4-Pack for $89.99. Get it while you can.   And just a bit over a week until:  

My uncle just took bacon to a whole new level on Facebook:

Quote: JRPG's kind of lost their charm with me after Final Fantasy X.   What would immediately make me throw my wallet at them is Final Fantasy Tactics II, which was mistakenly teased earlier this year and turned out to be the very disappointing web-browser game Crystal Conquest.  ...

Quote: I honestly think I'm the only person I know who plays Fallout/Elder Scrolls/BioShock/Borderlands/Portal/etc. They may have high scores from the critics, but most people I know have never even heard of any of them. Competitive FPS and Madden games run the show. I guess even when it...

Quote: Probably a lot of players with poor wireless connections hosting. I'm always strictly wired-only and would say about 75% of my public games where I am not the host there is no noticeable lag. One of my best friends however has a poor wireless connection and I hate to say it but, I...

Bump. It's here!
