Newspaper burns rather nicely...

I unplug your matrix, no more superpowers.

The above post is why you guys rock.
Continuing the Linux nagging, with the new info how far away is the horizon? Is it a Jupiter sized horizon, moon sized, asteroid size?

I went to look for a way to bug AJS about Linux support, and I found this I'm hosting a github fork of the latest LGPL'ed version here: http://github.com/pathorn/awesomium/ It's updated to the latest version so it has Linux/64-bit support, video tag, etc. The download has plenty of header files alon...

The dev-team has stated that the only thing other than time stopping them from porting Overgrowth to Linux is the lack of Chrome support. Attached is a screenshot of Chrom...

You're probably right Jo-Shadow, but I'll give it a shot anyway. Thanks!

I'll test on Linux if you'd like assuming it's still open. I'd message but I don't have any of the aforementioned chat accounts...

Any word from icculus about the Linux build?

If could be a system where whenever you throw a punch your adrenaline goes up and it always goes down toward 0. Then your health is affected by your adrenaline such that if you have high adrenaline you can be hurt really badly and not die but then as soon as the fighting stops you pass out or die.
