This week: we make numerous big announcements about the future and shape of our website as we roll out a weekly games column, officially invite the world to come play Starbound with us on our dedicated server at starboundihc.com (details can be found in the link to our anchor page below), reveal our secret software project that we hope will make running Steamcmd headless Linux servers easier and much less insane for sysadmins, and then - once we finally get around to covering this week in the Linux gaming - we disclose our first impressions of the (possibly misunderstood) "Desert Strike"-but-now-with-mechanized robots "Hybrid Wars," get in touch with our inner doomed-disaster-survivor in the Allan Jude-like remote frozen wastelands of Canada in "The Long Dark," and finally get the kinks worked out of our inter-dimensional supply chain of knock-off commemorative spoons in "ClusterTruck." Remember, we're Linux users: the way we "heart" logistics makes UPS middle-management wet their pants in terror. All of this and nearly TEN super-excellent titles in this week's crop of deals ("Cities Skylines," and several totally rocking games that are entirely free - in this case, actually as in "beer" here, not as in "freedom")... all this, zombies, vampires, Winston Wolf, intergallactic subatomic particle galactic warfare simulations, and a party video game for teetolaers so uninspired that they require a multiplayer party game that contains its own inner mini-drinking game ready for use out of the box! Truly, it is the end of the world... YES!
