Liked it, but I didn't play it again like I did Tyrian (long time ago).

Nice graphics, nice gameplay, game is quite hard and that's good.

Game: Cogs

Nice puzzle game with nice graphical effects.

From first sight it seems that it is only about shuffling of the squares, but as it is 3D it is more complicated (and that makes it more interesting).

I like it!

Game: Hammerfight

This is great game, I got really addicted to it.
Gameplay, graphics, replayability, everything.

I played it on windows first, whole single-player + arena fights, and then 6 months later when I bought it in recent "Humble indie bundle" I played it all again on the ubuntu. I guess that all bugs were fixed in that release because I haven't noticed any bugs (just as on windows).

I suggest to set 'mouse sensitivity' as low as possible (100 or 200), that helps to fit your mouse movements to the table :) And also adds more power to your hits.

Though, I still don't know where to get the 'rubys' from? Played it two times, always got one red ruby during single player, equipped it, and then I could not get any other to equip in better weapon. Weapons are full of ruby slots and no rubies anywhere.

Only one downside - it seems that it is a little more 'jiggy' on linux than on windows

Played it recently and I liked it. Though, it was somehow short and I was expecting more bosses! And probably some twist in the story.

Interesting is that at the end of game I did not have bought all bonuses. Is that ok, or does it say that story was short?

Minigames accessible in the menu are nice bonus, though I didn't play them more than 10 times.

Graphics are beautiful!

In ubuntu 12.04 if you get and error from the installer complaining about missing libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 you need to install ia32libs:

$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

don't use hacks on PunkBuster servers

for OSS better try:

su -c "echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss"
./et.x86

No sound:

wget -q -O - http://nullkey.kapsi.fi/et-sdl-sound/et-sdl-sound.gz | gzip -d > et-sdl-sound && chmod a+x et-sdl-sound

You need ia32libs:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

If you run the server with the default settings, it does not work, the client does not see the server in the LAN list. You need to point at a decent server.cfg[1], put it into base/server.cfg and then run the server.

./etqw-dedicated +exec server.cfg

the minimum you need is:

spawnServer campaign_pacific
set si_minPlayers "2"

The server is included in the client install. You only need to install the server package if you want to run the server on another box.

If you are getting laggy sound on the client:

./etqw +set s_alsa_pcm plughw:0 +set NumberOfSpeakers 2
