"TEHRAN (Reuters) - A new Iranian computer game sets players the task of blowing up a U.S. tanker in the Gulf to block the sea route for much of the world's oil supplies, a newspaper reported on Saturday.
The game, "Counter Strike", invites players to plant two bombs on the oil tanker to sink it and make the strait of Hormuz impassable, the Jomhouri-ye Eslami daily reported. About two-fifths of globally traded oil passes through the channel.
The game illustrates a warning by Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said in June that oil exports in the Gulf region could be seriously endangered if the United States made a wrong move on Iran."
Totally WTF? I don't know where to begin to say what is wrong with that article. Valve anyone?
I always thought Reuters would be a bit more... hm, nvm. Another example of "Never trust any media corp"(TM).
Doesn't id software and epic games stuff run natively on linux with opengl? And how many developers licensed those engines? Quite a bunch. It shouldn't be too hard for them to keep support for linux and opengl.

That's why PCs will always own consoles.
Just compare Oblivion with mods to its vanilla console version.
...is to find explanations for the jumps in google trend graphs. This one really got me: http://www.google.com/trends?q=death Explain the sudden rise in 2006. Reason: http://www.google.com/trends?q=death%2C+steve+irwi n%2C+sting+ray&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all
Another interesting thing is that searches including 'fuck' increase during weekends:
