I just downloaded the client and it is now patching to the latest release. I will drop some notes to this post after I have a little play time. Keep checking back for updates.
UPDATES
16FEB13-1155: Still patching... one of the worst parts is waiting to play.
17FEB13-1100: Got to play for a few hours. I couldn't take screenshots for whatever reason. But the play was familiar and the graphics were great for what style game it is. I am still on the fence about pre-ordering. I think I might wait for a sale to pick this game up.

All of us in the Linux community are thinking the same thing: It's about damn time.
Head over to Steam for the SALE and to download the client for Linux. Oh, and you can add me if you wish: Seester is my Steam name!

Video Games vs. Real Life
I saw this while surfing and thought it to be mighty spot on! Had to share, enjoy!
Chromium Goes Lime
If there are any followers of the Google backed Linux OS Chromium, let them rejoice. Hexxeh has released a new version of the OS, Lime, after nearly a year of lying low. Now, I don't specifically know that he was lying low... or what he was doing for that matter. I do know that Lime has been released, so far in just the USB flavor. Hang in there those that are looking for other distros, word on the street is that they will be making an appearance soon!
In the mean time, feel free to check this chart on the newest features of the OS. I took this directly from the Chromium OS website.
If you are looking for the Vanilla builds, they can be found here.
This hits home…
Growing in up in small town where everyone knows everything that is going on was hard. Especially when you are one of the outcasts. The following video is emotional, enlightening, eye-opening and amazing. Please watch it in its entirety.
I wish I could have been this strong at his age. It was at the same age that I too felt I should give up. Instead, I turned to drugs and bad behavior... and you think I turned out alright? I did not. I still remember those times in school when you were the scum to someone and for no good reason. Maybe it was because they wanted to make themselves feel better, or maybe because they were bored. But it is time that bullying in schools got more attention. It is time for those less fortunate to have a chance at a normal life. I wish I had this chance.
I hope that Jonah gets his chance at being able to grow up experiencing the things that the kids around him do...
Portal’s “Still Alive” – The floppy rendition.
This rendition of the end song of Portal is done using 4 floppy drives. I love this game... and this song.
