Marshall writes "Today I received an email from Tux Games that I never thought I'd get: confirmation that they were shipping me Neverwinter Nights complete with Linux installer! I didn't believe my eyes, so I checked out bioware's web page, and it was confirmed, the linux client is complete. Also check tuxgames.com which states that they are completing the installer and plan to ship games on Monday, 23 June."

  If that's the case, then there are a bunch of /. guys out there right now going to collect on those dates they were promised.

This is a day that I had given up on. I have almost completed NWN with it being the only reason for my Windows partition.

Misleading Title by KoopaTroopa · 2003-06-20 02:06 · Score: 5, Funny

This news forces me to reconsider how appropriate I believe the title Neverwinter Nights is.

Perhaps Eventuallywinter Nights, Finallywinter Nights, or Tookadamnlongtimewinter Nights.

  This made my year. How sad is that?
  
  On the sadness scale of 1 to 10 where:
  
  1 = A Rainy Day, and
  
  10 = Your independently wealthy, nymphomaniac, computer literate, console game playing girlfriend who looks like a genetic combination of Pamela Anderson, Natalie Portman and Lara Croft (only with bigger boobs) crashes your new Porsche into a school bus full of nuns and orphans on their way back from rescuing puppies and kittens from the animal shelter, resulting in a huge explosion with no survivors, two days before your wedding after which you would have been a rich man and sole remaining heir to the (insert company of your choice) corporate empire.
  
  I'd say you're about a 12, maybe 12.5.

2. CD-Key: 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.

Sweet! I'm getting it!!
