OpenTTD The 50 best free PC games | Best PC Games, Features, Free Games There might be no such thing as a free lunch, but there is certainly such a thing as free lunchtime entertainment. Over the following pages you’ll find a list of the best free indie games on PC – from 20-minute diversions to weekend-consuming, endlessly-expanded strategy epics. All of the games on this list are free in their entirety. That means no microtransaction-supported free-toplay games and no shareware. We’ve also excluded ‘pay what you want’ games on the basis that developers who give you the ability to chip-in would probably like you to consider doing that. Once we’d assembled our longlist we all voted for the games we liked the most and tallied up the scores to produce the top 50. 50.

OpenDUNE.org THE LONG DARK, a first-person post-disaster survival sim by Hinterland PayPal pledges are now possible at www.intothelongdark.com All money raised there will be applied to the Stretch Goals. We will update the running total at regular intervals. The Long Dark is a thoughtful, exploration focused survival simulation set in the Northern wilderness in the aftermath of a global disaster. If you're a fan of atmospheric, exploration-focused games like Fallout 3 or STALKER, you'll love The Long Dark. We talk about it in more detail in the "Risks and Challenges" section below, but our philosophy around Stretch Goals is not to use extra funding to introduce risky scope or feature creep that will delay the game, but rather, to find ways to add more quality to the experience and enrich the game with interesting new content that enhances your connection to the world we're creating for you. LATEST UPDATE: #28 (Oct 15): The Final Push, New Stretch Goals! For all other updates, click here. And that's only the beginning. As Mackenzie, you will: Early praise for The Long Dark...
OpenXcom | Open-source reimplementation of the original X-Com Gabe Newell: "Linux and open source are the future of gaming" “It feels a little bit funny coming here and telling you that Linux and open source are the future of gaming” are the words that Valve Co-Founder and Executive Director Gabe Newell opened with during a panel at this year’s LinuxCon held in New Orleans.

Newell accused companies like Microsoft and Apple’s proprietary systems of stifling innovation through sluggish certification processes, among other things.

Notes on departure by withoutpillow A vignette about going to space for a long while and not having the time to say final goodbyes to your lover.

Reed’s experiment is about who you choose to spend your time with and the conversations you have (and does some interesting things with procedural narrative). And of course you can be like “askjasdkskaljkdl fuckfuck penispenis cocksplat beefucker” and nobody will stop you. Two endings.
