New humble bundle!

[desiv]

Thanx for the heads up..
I missed the last ones..
I did get one of the previous bundle games seperately, but I didn't know there was a bundle at the time. ;-)  oopps..

Looks like some good stuff again..

p.s.  BR, I drove through your hometown again recently...  Is that your sign about ODOT and the 3rd world roads?  ;-)

OK, home, paid and DLing now..
Also interesting, they have a "key" for playing the game with OnLive.  (Well, Trine anyway)..
I've been poking at OnLive a bit..  Interesting technology...  Impressive how well it works considering what it's doing..  Of course, it's a bandwidth hog..

I was "dissed" on OnLive tho already..
Testing it out with Unreal Tournament, and I was using the laptop, so the touchpad and cursor keys were really tough to work with (and I'm not an FPS guy really).
All of a sudden, I think I hear something in French..  I'm thinking is a setting in the wrong language???
Then I'm trying to shoot a door open, and missing the shot (hands across each other trying to aim.. (I have a mouse hooked up now) it was bad..) and I hear this French sounding voice chanting "Newbie..  Newbie.. Newbie.."
I realize..  DAMNIT..  Someone is watching me play and taunting me..
In FRENCH no less!!!
I felt like King Arthur with his empty halves of coconuts..  :-)  :-)
I disabled that feature..
Oh, Trine is done DLing (That was fast)..  On to the next game..

Anyway, the bummer about OnLive for me is that it would be an awesome way to allow Linux users to play these games, many of which have no Linux versions.
But, of course, no Linux client yet...

Oh well, off to more DLs..

(The Newbie..  ;-)

Downloads are just about done (not bothering with Mac versions)
Looking at some youtube clips of Shadowgrounds..  Nice..
Has a real Alien Breed (NOT 3D) feel to it..  Looks like fun.

D'oh!
None of my computers have graphics cards modern enough to run Shadowgrounds..
The Laptop is the newest, but they support very few "Integrated" laptop cards.
And my Linux box's Video Card is too old.
I am able to play Prey on it (it is sluggish at times)..  ;-)

Oh well, still supporting Linux programs, even if I can't use them...

I am able to play Trine (at least on OnLive on the laptop), so it wasn't a total loss..

OK, I thought my desktop Linux box had an MX card that wasn't compatible..
But, I remembered that I had been given another card at some time by someone upgrading.  So, I have an FX5500...
So, I was able to play Shadowgrounds...
Sorta..  ;-)

At low detail with low resolution, it's playable, right up to the point that some bad guys show up, then it can't keep up..

So, it's great for walking around and even shooting boxes..
:-)

Considering when I bought this computer, I'm impressed.. ;-)

Haven't tried Trine on it yet..
