i was really sad the other day when i went to fry's to grab some books and i
thought i would stop by the linux section as small as it is, and check out
the linux games. the last time i did this there were like 7 or 8 to choose
from, but this time there were none. they had pulled all of them =(. for the
first time in my linux experiences i had 3d hardware acceleration, and have
been playing Q3, UT, SOF demo and the Rune demo. all the games that i love
to play in winblows and can now play in linux. but it seems as though i cant
just run down to my local retailer and pick up a box of linux joy. so my
point is put me down for SOF, Rune / Minrover Bundle, and Deus Ex when
released. Sorry for the excess i just had to vent.
