Phoronix brings a bit of weekend cheer for those silly people inside playing video games instead of going fishing:

With Black Mesa's Halloween update released on Thursday, there is a Linux client beta of this Source game. Details via this announcement. Black Mesa is currently on sale for 60% off, putting it at just $7.99 USD.

Mind you, it's a Steam game so your box has to play nicely with Steam as a prerequisite.

  Seriously, this was approaching Duke Nukem Forever levels of delay.

  It's a shame they never made Duke Nukem Forever -- DN3D was great.

    It wasn't that bad, actually, if you play it without nostalgia. Lightning is a little dated though.
