As a fellow Linux user, I was tempted to try out Desura thanks to the fact that most (if not all) of the bundles so far have Desura keys for those who want 'em. Not all of the games have had Linux builds added to Desura just yet (understandable - Desura's Linux version is just an Open Beta for the time being), but getting 75% of the HIB games in a "click install and play with no hassle" format is a sight to behold, especially considering all the wrangling it took to make Crayon Physics work on Debian - in the end I gave up and "borrowed" packages from Ubuntu.

And there's now an Open Source remake/re-imagining, OOlite. I'd post a link, but I'm at work and I'm sure you can all use your search engine or package manager of choice to obtain it.

Tip - install gvfs-backends, then run

sudo dpkg-reconfigure thunar

To display and browse network shares in Thunar. There's also the rather unfortunately named Gigolo, which provides out of the box share access. It's a stupid workaround, yes, but it's worth mentioning.

They prefer to call it "enhancing the truth".

sankakucomplex.com itself is NSFW, so why single out its *booru subdomain?

Not that any self-respecting human being would mind if sankaku was blocked by their ISP.

No, he's on a laptop. So... yeah, I feel sorry for the nut behind the keyboard.

Obviously, a lot of minds have been boggled by the conundrum of Yahoo's continued existence.

Most of us comb our own neckbeards, you insensitive clod!

I dunno, I'm actually half-tempted to buy this game because they're taking the inevitability of piracy, and getting a little bit of humour out of it. That and, unlike the two companies you've mentioned, the developers of this game are not actively prosecuting pirates. If anything, they're rewarding you for pirating... if you like pirate-themed games.

I dunno, I use a PS2 controller for the vast majority of my emulation, and a modified Super Famicom controller for, well, Super Famicom/SNES games (and pretty much every other 8-bit/16-bit system, for that matter).
Point is, the PS2 controller suffices for Ocarina of Time (although using Wii64 with a classic controller on my modded Wii is my preferred method of playing N64 games these days).

I'd have to agree there, with some notable exceptions, Square-Enix's only good games post merger have been new IPs (The World Ends With You being the most notable) and... Dragon Quest. That's it.

This is, of course, excluding their constant re-releases of older games (mostly FF, Dragon Quest and a whole host of Square's PS1 games).
