video game

I wanted to play Neverwinter Nights on Linux, and didn't have it installed anywhere. Today, the easiest way to install NWN for linux (by far) is to use the current installer from Bioware; you can even download the game content from them, although you will need your own registration code. The code from the Windows version works fine. However, I'm on a modem and downloading that much data is out of the question. It could take me days to download the patch, alone (I get 26.4kbps on average - life in the country is swell.)

Tank FAQ
Draft 2: 20080212

Introduction

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (henceforth "GTA:SA" or just "SA") is a highly entertaining game - although you have to do a lot of work as a hood to unlock everything, there's even an awful lot of nonviolent things to do in the game. This is not a guide to those things. This is a guide to some of the fun things you can do with the tank-like "Rhino" vehicle in the game. While most vehicles are more or less interchangeable, the Rhino is one of those which is truly worthy of attention, as it has a cannon and can take an almost endless amount of damage. These characteristics make it the ideal vehicle to use for Vigilante mode, which provides the player a bonus when the appropriate level is achieved.

UPDATE 200802120955 PST: On my system (Ubuntu gutsy, wine-0.9.47) this seems to be working. I will leave this page up for posterity. --drink

Since about 0.9.13 or so Wine has been capable of running Steam and its attendant games, which includes items like Half-Life 2. However, steam backups don't seem to want to work properly.
