Best Linux Games Podcast

We enter the Silence Times in STYLE with "Conflicks: Revolutionary Space Battles," "Kick Ass Commandos," and a fabulous deal: "Painkiller Hell And Damnation."

In this TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL, psychotic slaughterfest of an episode, we make fun of Batman, rant ecstatically about the glory of "Alien Isolation," get heart-to-exploding-heart with "Broforce," and admire the crisp, polished, and delicious 2D space-shooting of the new "GALAK-Z." Then we cap it all off with no less than 10 Halloweed-themed badass deals to get your creep-on. All this, plus an original Alien-themed miniature radio play, more praise for our Steam Controller, the death, disappearance, and subsequent ghoulish return of our crack engineer and producer, Ivor Molina, and so much more that you better run while you still can monkey boy... the curse of the Halloween Episode will consume you!

In this week's unspeakably humongous episode, everything has gone big: we got BIG GAMES ("DESCENT UNDERGROUND"), BIG NEWS (Steam Controller now fully working, first impressions on Linux), MORE BIG GAMES ("Sword Coast Legends" released for Linux, "BROFORCE" FINALLY released for Linux), and, finally, everyone's favorite, BIG DEALS ("DiRT Showdown," amongst others). All this and MOAR WHISKEY in this episode of BLGP!

Our Steam Controller has arrived - with mixed results getting it to pair on various different systems. We cover a bunch of exciting new and noteworthy titles, but more importantly, hit up SEVEN awesome deals expiring within 24 hours of air time, so hit it up as soon as you can!

In this, our one year anniversary episode, we cover a gaggle of new titles (most notably, "Cryptark," and "Masochisia"), and bring forth a huge handful of act-now deals: Dex, Retro City Rampage DX, and Prison Architect among them. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BLGP!

We rejoice (and find our own feelings mixed) to the finished release of "ARMIKROG," the sequel to the much-beloved "Neverhood." Also, we comment on Xplane 10.40 patch (what it adds, what it doesn't. Then finally, we hit up new and noteworthy titles like "Jotun," "The Escapist: The Walking Dead," and a personal favorite of ours, "Ninja Pizza Girl." All this complete with FOUR great deals!

This week, we explain why we are EXCITED about Oculus Rift dropping linux support, update on steam controller, and other erratum, before getting into the insanely detailed, bit-not-atom-based world of "Else Heart.Break()," after which we look at "Cities Skylines: After Dark (DLC)," then lust after the pong-on crack multiplayer hardcore hell of "One Ship Two Ship Red Shift Blue Shift." All this, along with an assortment of 4.5 deals that you need to get (including "Deadstone," a game that has NOTHING to do with tower defense... BAD DEV COPY: BAD!). Cheers!

In this week's super show, we cover a blistering assortment of games, including reviews of the 70's heist game "The Masterplan" (which now features workshop support) and "X-COM: Enemy Unknown" (the legit sequel to X-COM2, only now simplified and running on linux). PLUS, in our new and noteworthy, we look at "Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime," feature the insidiously cheerful evil of "I Can't Escape: DARKNESS," experiment with the brave attempt at a Silpheed-esque space shooter that is "Solar Shifter EX," all this plus deals exploding out of us like ass-spraying mayhem ("MORDOR," "Bastion," amongst others)... get em while they're hot!

Two super things happen in this week's episode: we criticize and attack valve's totally fucking bullshit non-commital attitude towards linux gaming and (2): review one of the most badass games to ever be played on Linux ("Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor"). Plus Three great deals!

This week: we begin to unfold the awesomeness of "attractmode" (www.attractmode.org), the first really good and demi-comprehensive configurable frontend for almost any emulator you can run on linux (we REALLY REALLY REALLY FRIGGING LOVE IT... a lot), then a big hulking slab of what we're playing ("OWYS!!!!," "SKY ROGUE," and still more "MERCENARY KINGS!!!"), all rounded out with a big chunk of awesome deals you don't wanna miss!

In this uncompromisingly brutal and RAGE-FILLED episode, we have a bunch of new and noteworthy titles for you, a handful of great deals, and one MOTHERFUCKING HATEFUL RAGE-FUL SCREED OF INSANE ANGER at the tutorial setup for the hotly anticipated progeny of the awesome "Syndicate" series: "Satellite Reign," which really, really, made me angry beyond all reconing. Sue me. I am who I am. Not a review, but a first impression. Cheers!

Due to a technical error, for first time ever, we are re-recording an episode of the podcast: This REBOOT of episode 43 features 2 frigging badass reviews (the awesome hack-and-slashery of "Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor," and the old-school sidescrolling black, white, and red-all-over double-jump hate-fiesta that is "Mute Crimson+")... We also take a look at "Mr Makeshifter," get all "Discs of Tron" on you with "DiscStorm," and offer up 6 awesome deals that won't be around for very long... get em while they're hot! AND (as if this weren't enough), we meet up with a bunch of likeminded FOSS peeps at our local hackerspace, discover their podcast (www.greynoi.se), and experience several other major, transformative, life-altering experiences!

CRAZY episode this week, friends: we catch up with the good peeps at www.greynoi.se podcast, take a look at three interesting titles ("Mr. Makeshifter," "Pump Action Captain," and "DiscStorm") along with 6 deals (three of which you are sure to not want to miss)...

In this week's absurdly enormous show, we marvel over how "Shadow Warrior" has finally brought its hack-and-slashery-awesomeness to linux, along with other titles like "OlliOlli2: Welcome To Olliwood," and "Terraria." PLUS: we take a glimpse at the new Steam VR Controllers, tell you how to get in on the alpha for Universe Sandbox(2), and just basically go completely berserk while breaking studio equipment... All this and (literally) MOAR: We pop 5 new video uploads to YouTube (including 2 complete reviews: "Feist," and "Sky Rogue"), and announce that we are now subscribable on both itunes and soundcloud via RSS (along with our normal feed via bestlinuxgames.com). AND THEN (FINALLY) we top off this episode with five of the best deals we've seen in a while ("Doom&Destiny," "Shadow Warrior," and "Dungeons 2" included)!

We take a look at some interesting, hilarious, and somewhat poignant titles this week, braving the exquisitely rendered Descent-inspired mecha tunnels of "Geocore," exploring our creative side (as it explores us!) in the (hilariously, ellusive on the steam store) "Unfinished: An Artist's Lament," contemplate the feeding of the sheeple in the "isometric action" packed "Don't Be Patchman," and then hit you with three badass deals for the weekend.

Mordor comes to linux (but not without difficulties), as does "Sky Rogue," and several other Steam OS titles. We take a look at some controller work-arounds and demi-best-practices when using XBOX360 controllers in linux mint 17, give "Victor Vran" a mini-review, and cover a whole big crop of excellent deals you don't want to miss!

This week: Star Wars Kotor II comes to linux. We take a look at the insanely detailed narrative rogue-like world of "Caves of Qud," give "Feist" a supercilious sniff, drool over the brand new mechanical girlfriend waiting for us in the crazy-pretty "Cradle," and temporarily pass on "Victor Vran." Plus: a new installment of "WHAT I'M PLAYING," which, this week, includes the fabulous "MechaNika," the out-of-control-amazeballz-ness of "The Magic Circle," and the unbridled carnage of the "Metal-Slug-Meets-Crafting" sidescrolling platform-shooter, "Mercenary Kings." All this, plus three deals!

Things finally beginning to return to "normal" after the steam summer sale, we find our heroes BESIEGED ON ALL SIDES by amazeballs new and compelling titles (in particular, we zoom in on the meta comedy within the gallow's humor of "The Magic Circle," delighting in it's super-smart, incredibly amusing, and visually impressive exploration of the synthetic-meta exploration of the artistic and practical ontological aspects of game design). We get pumped about Ark's rolling out support for UT4 Modding engine, and also spend a few minutes getting goosebumps and giggles with the dark point-and-clicker, "Anna's Quest," and "MechaNika," pausing only for a moment to try our luck on the brand-new "Sunset-Riders-On-Commodore" Old West sidescrolling action in "Luckslingers." All of which is followed by 6 excellent deals you definitely want to grab as soon as possible (preferably before the 20th)... AND THEN skookie died. Because his head exploded from too much good games. He died as he lived: insane, boozed up, and yelli

In this absurdly ridiculous terrifyingly enormous episode, we take a look at 30 of the best games that run great on linux with traditional, twin-stick gamepads. Sampling from all genres and release dates, we traverse the world from "PROMPT," through "The Witcher 2." If you like linux and want to play on your couch until steam hardware hits the streets, we got you covered.

In this fourth of July Spectacular, we focus on freedom (and adventure) with a deep long look at Ark: Survival Evolved and pit it in a deathmatch against the tride and true favorite, MINECRAFT. Whose flag will still wave after the battle? Also, we take a cursory look at "Reflections," "Lego Minifigures," and get a huge dose of Ivor Molina miss-spinning the Dr. Sousa, amongst other surprises!
