I mostly play Urban Terror, although I’ve been mixing that up with some “Cold War” and “Sacred: Gold”. I still haven’t unwrapped “X3: Reunion” from the LGP fire sale but it will see some action soon.

I’ve been playing Sacred Gold for the last month or so (used to play the Windows version when it came up years ago, but I’m GNU/Linux for about 3 years now and don’t use windows at home at all, so I happily used the LGP sells day to buy sacred , knight and merchants and Cold War, and didn’t forgot to buy Prey at Tuxgames at a great price).
So yeah Sacred for now, but I also played Prey , Knights and RTCW before I got to Sacred … great games.

BTW I do somewhat agree with Linus on his post above.
RMS is a hard person to talk to and he seems most things in black and white, good vs evil ….
And don’t get me wrong, RMS did a LOT to FREE AND OPEN source community and software as we see it today, he is a great person in that aspect and we really owe to him a lot.

>You truly stink.

He lied to us, sinister13! He tricked us! If he would’ve told us the truth, we would’ve told him to shove that red GPL up his tra$$can!

PS: Where’d the regulars go. I’m probably the most staunch supporter of Hurd more than Linux, because look at what Linus Torvalds said in one of his 4Chan.org posts;

I’m pretty well-known for not exactly being a huge fan of the FSF and Richard Stallman, despite the fact that I obviously love the GPLv2 and use it as the license for all my projects that I care about.

The reason has always been that I don’t like single-issue people, nor do I think that people who turn the world into black and white are very nice or ultimately very useful. The fact is, there aren’t just two sides to any issue, there’s almost always a range or responses, and “it depends” is almost always the right answer in any big question. And not being even willing to see the other side makes for bad decisions.

Don’t get me wrong – I love seeing people who are really passionate about what they do, and many people have something they really care about. It’s just that when that becomes something exclusionary, it often gets ugly. It’s not passion for something, it becomes passion against something else.

This is, just to take an example, one of the reasons I try to avoid talking much about Microsoft – I’m very passionate about Linux (obviously), but quite frankly, I really find the whole notion of Linux as being “against Microsoft” to be silly and wrong-headed. Yeah, I might make an occasional tongue-in-cheek joke or two, but does anybody really seriously think that you can put 17+ years of your life and make good decisions based on hate and fear?

That was also why I didn’t (and don’t) like GPLv3 – I think many of the changes weren’t due to being “pro free software”, but more a mindless reaction against things like TiVO, and the whole black-and-white, “good vs evil” mindset.”

I’ve been trolling Slashdot with a GNU picture I made all by myself.

Do anyone suppose Zakkary would like this one for his Timedoctor collection?

Playing Sacred, X3, UT2k4, ETQW and just started with Regnum Online. Waiting for QuakeLive and UT3(ha). I have Savage2 but due to their sorry state of the Linux installer I just don’t care to play.

I’m currently not playing much, but when I’m on it, it’s mostly LGP stuff. Sacred is really nice and I’m also enjoying Cold War.

Been playing Prey most the time. I am waiting for some of the new mods for ETQW to be released and I will switch to that.
