Live for Speed - Absolute perfection!
,----[ Quote ]
| Great computers games are like love at first
| sight. The moment you power on the game, you
| know it's something different and you know
| you're going to love it. This is what
| happened to me with Live For Speed. While
| reading about VDrift, a cross-platform racing
| simulator, on Wikipedia I noticed a reference
| to Live for Speed (LFS). The game had a free
| demo available, so I downloaded it.

X-Plane Flight Sim in Ubuntu 10.04 64bit
,----[ Quote ]
| I gave in finally and decided to buy X-plane,
| which has a native Linux version, great
| right? Well fairly great... As I waited for
| the CD's to arrive, I noticed that there was
| a demo version online, so I downloaded and
| installed it. At which point I ran into my
| first problem. My 64bit version of Ubuntu
| was missing a lib file needed for the
| installer to run. After hours of searching
| the net, I was able to place the correct
| 32bit lib file in the correct 32bit lib
| folder, and then create a link from there to
| the 64bit lib files. At last the installer
| worked. After hours of downloading the
| rather large installer, X-plane hiccuped on
| install, missing another file. I patched
| that file in and tried it one more time. It
| worked, I watched the sweet intro, and played
| it a bit with the keyboard and mouse as I
| awaited the arrival of the game.
|
| [...]
|
| X-Plane continues to be developed, while the
| Microsoft Flight Simulator series ended with
| FSX. The hope is that X-Plane will get
| better and better. I hope the developers at
| X-Plane will realize that their Linux
| customer is important.

| As promised in the Humble Indie Bundle, the
| classic indie game starring your favorite 12-
| pound ball of tar, has now had its secret
| sauce released under the GNU General Public

| fluid physics system was put together? Well
| now you can take a look for yourself. Alex
| Austin has just made the source code
| available for download here.
