More than a MONTH ago. Why didn't I notice this? About time, this was so necessary.

PC Game Developers:

Be smart. Make your games Linux compatible "out of the box." Think about it: there ARE Linux users out there who like playing games (me). There are VERY few games out there that support Linux. The emulation software kind of sucks right now. Wine is free and basically terrible for games. It took me two weeks to get Half Life 2 "working" and even then it was completely unplayable. Cedega appears to be better, but you have to pay for it every month! What the hell is that? Oh, and also, it doesn't work for me at all. What popular game aside from Unreal Tournament 2004 has been released in the last 2 or 3 years that supports Linux? Oh yeah I guess Doom 3 too but that's because id Software is pretty awesome about having all their games playable in Linux. If a developer was smart, they would release a game that would work on Linux, because no one else is doing it. Linux users would pay to buy this game, just as I paid to buy Unreal Tournament 2004 years after it was released, just to have something to play when I'm in Linux.

I just read that Savage 2 is going to have native support for Linux, here. I'm willing to bet that Linux gamers will pick it up just because it actually works on their chosen OS! I think I will too.

Read the news.

There might just actually be life on Mars. Or Saturn. Or aliens raining down in red rain in India.

Just read the fucking news. There's a lot going on right now.

Dumbasses:

Looks like there is a new AIM virus going around. This one is a fake myspace pictures link. Make sure your links are legit before you click on them: ask the people who send it to you to verify that it's legit.

If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, this stuff installs itself automatically...switch to Firefox. Or quit Windows. Whichever is easier for you.

This is a great new humor site to read every day:

Well, here's something you don't see every day. I've always wanted to see signs here like this. We should have stuff near live wire that says DANGER: YOU COULD FUCKING DIE IF YOU TOUCH THIS.
