MOAR LANZ!

Seems to be LAN season at the moments as I will have attended at least 3 LAN's within 3 week(ends) in a row.

At the 1st one we fired up AVP2 (which lasted most of the night :D ).

The last LAN is a student oriented LAN at which I will be adminning game servers (that I installed, patched and configured using Linux dedicated server software) etc.

On another note. It looks like the UT3 Linux release (rumoured to be released soon) won't make it in time for the last LAN unfortunately :(

Now, this begs the question: Before the last LAN, what should I spend money on:

• 2 x Western Digital Scorpio 2.5" 7,200 RPM HDD (for the XPSM1730)
  or
  
• 2 x 1Tb Western Digital HDD's for the server...?

I really should buy myself a Gigabit switch, but HDD space is more important. Apparently :)

No more games for Linux?

As I am now a dedicated Linux user, I am finding it interesting (and annoying) to see a decline in Linux games. For example NWN2 and UT3, both of which were released last year have both previously had Linux versions made, but no more.

Is this because it's easier/cheaper to develop for directx/windows?

If this trend continues, I will never purchase a windows game again and I will continue my gaming shift from PC to console.
