Best Linux Games Podcast

Merry Christmikkanikwanzamus everybody! We celebrate in this HUMONGOUS episode, by giving you the full, hands-on lowdown about how Google Stadia has already changed the world (and why you should care). Then we stuff your stockings full of updates and early access news from some of our favorite games ("Hades," "Nova Drift"). FULL coverage of the Steam Winter Sale, surprisingly useful hidden secrets in the steam client, a full-on VR feature on "BONEWORKS," and the greatest Christmas present ever: finally getting "ECHO" to work. ALL THIS AND MORE! Happy holidays everybody and thanks for listening!

On this, the final Friday the 13th of the Decade(!), we tell you how to play an exclusive pre-alpha demo of the forthcoming reboot of "System Shock" (scheduled for release sometime in 2020) FOR FREE, right now... but only for the next 24 hours. WE then ask the timeless question, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE THE GAME AWARDS," and then hit you with a bevvy of excellent deals (all expiring tomorrow) including such hits as "Devil May Cry 5" and "Gris."

We talk some serious shit about PCGAMER.COM's bullshit "best VR Headset of 2019" coverage, elliminate our much beloved "Pavlov VR" from our list of potential GOTY/Steam Awards candidates, and then tell you about 2 of the best sidescrolling platformers we've played ("Rayman Legends" and "Valfaris"). All this plus HUMONGOUS deals on the Van Helsing Franchise! An episode to cure almost ANY holiday blues (or at least provide a momentary, superficial salve). Tis the season!

Sure. Beyond the $5 Steam Controllers (now sold out), this has been a pretty anemic Steam Autumn Sale (here's hoping they do better with the Winter), but, nevertheless, we hit you with our best picks for the steepest discounts on the best games, running now through Dec. 3rd.
