The Enrichment Center is required to remind you that you will be baked, and then there will be cake.

Curious: how is performance compared to the OSX port? All the Source games I&#x27;ve tried run horribly on OSX compared to Windows on the same machine. Strangely, they play just fine through a Parallels Windows VM running inside OSX, so it can&#x27;t be the OSX graphics driver&#x27;s fault. What&#x27;s going on over there?

Awesome. I&#x27;ve already played through it on my Gentoo computer using wine but will enjoy playing through it again and doing the online co-op missions when this version is out of beta. It&#x27;s a great game, very worth playing if you haven&#x27;t already.

Best news I got all day. Downloading now. It worked pretty good in wine (atop Arch) for a while, then developed keyboard issues. Hoping to say goodbye to those.

Awesome. I already played through on xbox, but I&#x27;ve been buying&#x2F;playing the linux ports of the valve games as they come out to support them.

I would like to see the SDK and the &#x27;Authoring Tools&#x27; working on Linux.

Has anyone tested to see if it would work with co-op with non-beta players?

Great news, now just waiting for a Humble Bundle deal with Portal in it.

Looks like I&#x27;m gonna buy a Steam game for the first time.

Reminds me of <a href="http://xkcd.com/606/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;606&#x2F;</a> ... Clearly, there are no downsides!

nice, but i wonder why they took so long to release it after all the other source engine games.

Better late than never I guess.

Misread that as <i>Postal</i> 2 beta (with an &quot;s&quot;), even though Postal 2 for Linux on Steam has been around for a while now. RWS is planning a big update this year, too.<p>This is good, too, though. I might consider checking it out, though I&#x27;m hardly a gamer.
