Bioware Releases Neverwinter Nights Linux Client Beta 335
valedaemon writes "Well, I thought that the world would end before this day dawned, but Bioware has finally made good on its promise of a Linux client for Neverwinter Nights. You still need a Windows installation in order to copy the game data, but the good news is that the downloadable is only 4.4 MB. I could write more, but why? Go play!"

You will have to purchase a copy of the game to get a valid Neverwinter Nights CD-Key. Of course, with this purchase you also get a lovely Neverwinter Nights mapkin, a spiral-bound game manual, and three plastic-coated aluminum-reinforced W1nd0z3 brand coasters.
Heh. Think they know who thier audience is, or what?

OMG Finally (Score:3, Funny)
But seriously, wow, I've been waiting almost a year for this (okay, maybe more like 9 months or so). I'm pretty happy that it's here now, since this expands the number of games I can play in Linux without having to reboot back into Windows. w00t! Although, honestly, is there even a reason I should play it in Linux rather than Windows (other than me being too lazy to reboot)? Since it's a beta it's rather crippled, and at this rate, I'm not sure it'll EVER run "as well" as the Windows version. I'm not too convinced with my Linux Q3A and RtCW (Punkbuster and performance are not up to par in Linux compared to Windows). We shall see.

Yes I can figure oout how the signature feature of slashdot works, but (and this might come as a big surprise to you) I don't really care.
You might have nothing better to do with your time but I have many many things I are more valuable to me to spend my time on. Things like: working, reading, spending time with my girlfriend, etc.
My suggestion for you is to get off the indentation you have in your couch, grab a shower, brush the cheetos off your shirt and get out of the house and get a life.
But hey, what do I know? I can't even figure out how to use the signature function properly.
