Best Linux Games Podcast

First, we take a minute to sadly acknowledge the murder of an innocent civilian for no reason. Again. This has to stop. AND THEN... in our abnormal and stoned hallucination of an episode... circuitiously materializing, from the sky... we got really stoned and emotional and talk about our massively rad resin 3d printer (a Linux joint), celebrate a great cartoon boxing game on Linux (a first) ("Punch A Bunch"), and then the pizza's came... and then... the "Pizza Tower"...

This week, as my sanity slips further away heading into my second week off my meds (yay: going psycho), we are pleased to present this relatively babbly, theater-of-the-mind overview of the incredible PVP FPS looter-shooter, "Marauders." Combining the best aspects of OG Counter-Strike circa 2001, the high stakes improvisational intensity of "Duskers," all wrapped up in a white-knuckled, balls-to-the-wall, counterfactual multiplayer WWII-in space-in-1999 heart-attack-inducingly intense looter shooter, this is our pick for sleeper hit of the Fall Season. It seamlessly blends incredible action, astonishingly fantastic sound, stealth, brutality, looting, and so much more, all in a smart, beautiful, high stakes package that (even in Early Access) will blow your minds. Listen to this episode, and if your literal (or figurative) vagina is not soaking wet with piratically induced PVP loot-lust, then you can find a different game to sate your murder-boners. Otherwise? This feature offers a good overview of some of th

This week, we mark the passing of one of my oldest friends and then (for veteran players, at least) mourn Hello Games' atrocious and insulting update to "No Man's Sky: Waypoint."

We hit you with the sidescrolling, totally insane, spider-driven multiplayer action of "SPIDERHECK," introduce you to 2 of your new best-loved female badasses in "Soulstice," and then explode your face off with our full review of the gloriously off the hook arcade demo-derby racing hybrid, "TRAIL OUT!"
