games

[Phillip Waclawski]

It can be yes. I had avoided it like the plague, even though many friends tried to recruit me. Then work bought me a copy and I had to learn it (we were doing a summer youth camp focusing on machinima, and WoW has great tools in game and out for that). I at the time foolishly bought into the "you can only play real games on windows", borrowed a windows laptop (I don't do windows at home) got a char up to 19, taught the summer camp, and gave the laptop back. But I kept a copy of the files to continue using some of the machinima tools (as those worked on linux). I got bored at the last "linux world expo" in San Francisco...and an hour later WoW was working just fine on Linux under wine....unfortunately ;)

All I know about that game is that it must be very addictive. I used to know a guy in Phoenix was was unemployed yet would still pay money to play it online. Go figure.

As many have said, certain of the newer, high end games are problematic. I have been playing World of Warcraft on Linux for...far too long. :P 

One note, while Intel Graphics cards are not a great idea for Windows gaming, they're usually a death knell for any hopes of getting a game running on Linux. NVidia, or ATI is your best bet.

I hate telling people that with Linux they won't be able to be a gamer. Is Linux any more game friendly than it used to be?
