One barrier to linux gaming is the lack of availability in tools & standards. SVGALib is a good start, but it doesn't support all video cards (read: voodoo banshee, et al) or acceleration. Granted, XFree86 is getting there in terms of supporting modern video hardware, but X wasn't designed for gaming . It's a nice networking gui, and it's suitable for business apps, but it sucks for game programming. Linux also needs an interface with comperable functionality to DirectSound and DirectInput. Right now, I use Linux, but after playing with writing a tile-engine based RPG for linux, I was forced to admit that even DirectX is better for game development (even if does use the dreaded COM). What we need on Linux right now isn't more games, but a better interface for multimedia programming, opening the door to the masses of game programmers who don't want to re-invent the wheel or work with a big clunky programming interface.

Yeah, if he's spray painting on his bathroom wall. you're saying what he did was vandalism, but how can you vandalize your own property.

Ghost in the Shell
It's a kind of anime "do androids dream of electric sheep".
Battle Angel Alita
watch the whole series. anything with nano-technology in it has to be cool.
Silent Mobius
on of the chicks is a hacker. 'nuff said.

it's about a lone ronin stepped in bushido who wonders around killing 'bad-guys' with a big sword.
