sorry to breek that bubble of happyness but to play half-life under linux you have to use wine to do. so the slowness would be even more slower. i was talking about linux native applications. and wine/winex is a win32 compatiblity layer, which means more over head. they never liked realesed a linux native version of the half-life client from what i understand. there was a sick aprils fool's joke about it a while ago. sad to see but half-life will always be a windiod game, its sad i know. the worst part about it is that they couldev easyly ported halflife to linux and friends. the quake/quake2 base it has is very portable. like there is a version of quake2 for sun machines last time i checked. and they ported quake i think to sgi's line of machines. however i know that valve is developing half-life II, i think that we should go email/petetion valve and let them know that we are a big potentioal market. if enough people write to them asking for a linux native version they will make one. till i ditched windows my favorite games were in order
Diablo II + LOD = it plays fairly good under winex
Diablo I = it don't work under winex period
all the quakes = hahaha, they have linux native versions
half-life and mods = they supposedly work in wine/winex but i have never figured out how to do it
Master of Reality:
I got Diablo I intsaller to come up in WINE. But of course i couldnt install it because it wasnt WINEX.
sporkme:
if you send me a new computer i will see how it stacks xp vs linux :D

Microsoft doesn't have geek followers. They wish they could be geeks, but really they're just fucking idiots who follow a platform because it has more games on it.

OH NO!(Said in OH NO tm Lazygamer voice)
Is there any hope for Lazy's Wind0ze games on Linux? What about 0ldsk00l DOS games?
