IMO, the poll isn't very useful (according to results), because people (who hadn't read this and previous posts; I bet this is a majority) mostly don't realize that 'search' can be used the same way as 'all games' where you start with nothing and then apply some query criteria (action, comic, 2d...) to narrow the search. This should be because 'true' search link (http://www.lgdb.org/search/luceneapi_node/) is at the bottom of page, and the 'search' mostly associates with that 'search' on the left, which is 'search by keyword'.
By the way, what I don't like with the 'search' is that it only allows to view first 10 query results, while 'all games' allows to view multiple pages (and view all search results). That's not problem for me [after the time spent here I know almost every single game in the database, so I don't really need the search at all ;) ], but this may be really inconvenient for other people.
19:59:21Superuser Lichess, the free and open source, the most comprehensively-featured chess website, brimming with HTML5-ness and modern web goodness, with no ads (ever), recently had a new release! Check it out at lichess.org
11:42:02Curly Brace Hi, Superuser. No, web based games are not added (with only few exceptions, like Quake Live). However, there was a separate forum thread for HTML5 games, you can leave interesting links there
Game: Clonk Rage
nice but buggy
I really liked the idea of this game when I played it two years ago.
I found some levels a bit buggy, and the general balance of the game quite off, but it quite enjoyabe anyway

Game: Knights and Merchants: The Shattered Kingdom
wrong publisher link
The link is wrong. Runesoft makes the mac and pegasus versions.
LGP makes the linux one. (22 pounds for a 2001-2002 game. I am speechless)

Yes, I meant misused by LGP.
I don't want to rant to long, but porting to linux has these hard spots.
Like the typical "exit to windows" of runesoft ports.
nonetheless the ports are good, they just always miss those details to make it "great".
since I moved to Linux I have bought very few games, all indie ones:
Humble Indie Bundle
On the rain slick precipice of darkness
Caster
Machinarium
News: Now also on identi.ca
