Ubuntu Games: Wasteland 2 coming to Linux

    Wasteland 2 has reached 1.5 million dollars pledged on Kickstarter.  That is the goal they have set to go fully cross platform, releasing for Mac and Linux in addition to Windows.


    Wasteland 2 is a fan funded sequel to the classic post-apocalyptic game Wasteland This is really exciting news for anyone who is a fan of post-apocalyptic RPGs and gaming on their Linux machines.  Wasteland 2 promises to be a high quality Baldur's Gate style turn based, party based, RPG video game.  Personally I am a big fan of the post-apocalyptic genre of anything (movies, books, video games) plus I love Ubuntu operating system, so this is really exciting news.


Ubuntu gamers around the world rejoice!

What I learned from being a stay at home, homeschooling, dance dad.

  I was recently subjected to some kind of a sick experiment, in which all my free time was completely taken away, my rights to privacy relinquished.  I survived at the mercy of an oligarchical panel of tiny despots.  Yes, I was a stay at home parent.   It isn't as easy as I thought. I don’t know about other homeschooling parents but I have a very picturesque view of how things should go.  Children gathered around listening intently to unabridged classic literature. My six year old asking thoughtful questions about historical figures and the times and places in which they lived. With the utmost patience and joy my kids sounding out words of poetry, naturally learning phonetic rules in beautiful rhythm.  We'd have nature walks every afternoon with plenty of time for music and art.   By now you can probably tell, I don’t do most of the schooling in my house.  Turns out my fantastic idea of how homeschooling should be was jus...

Lunch time in The Dirty!

    The Dalles has quite a few restaurants relative to it's size.  Some are great some are down right bad.       These are my five favorite places to eat lunch in The Dalles in no particular order.  Some are old favorites and others are relatively new establishments.  All serve delicious food and drink. Montira's Thai     Montira's is the only thai place in town.  But that lack of competition doesn't keep them from delivering a quality product.  Other restaurants of the Asian  variety  have them beat as far as portion size and price go but they  serve  a quality product consistently.  I can't say that about many other places in town.     Montira's serves really great food for a decent price.  Just be warned if you ask for extra-spicy you will feel it all the next day...  But its worth it if you really like spicy. Spooky's     Spooky's is one of t...

Open Source Games: OpenTTD

    If you're like me you occasional fantasize about owning your own multi-million dollar transportation company.     OpenTTD is a game that I have started to play several different time but have always been turned off by the outdated graphics and controls.  Once I got passed that I found OpenTTD is a really fun and extremely addicting game.  It is one of the best simulators I have ever played and is probably the best tycoon style games I've played.  It is like the old Railroad Tycoon  but on steroids.  You're goal is to transport anything you can by road, rail, sea or air and make as much cash as possible in the process. Gameplay     Most of the game is spent building roads and railroads and buying various vehicles, giving them routes, oh and spending and making loads and loads of money.      Time progresses in this game so depending on what year you start you will have limited technology (buildin...
