A handful of games which don't appeal to everyone. Not everyone will be overjoyed at the prospect of paying 60$ for Football Manager 2015 or for games which look like they were made 30 years ago. For sixty bucks, GNUslims expect to get a dozen or more shitty games at the very least and that's exactly what they get. GNUslims _exclusively_ buy shitty games as a result of having adapted to a shitty operating system. They RUN from quality. -- Silver Slimer OpenMedia Supporter www.silverlips.ca Archivist of GNU/Linux's many positive reviews: "Running Linux is like taking a fat girl to the prom..and she won't even do your homework right." - Steve "The biggest killer of putting penguin software on the desktop is the Linux community. If you think the Apple fanboys are completely barking, they are role models of sanity to the loudmouthed Open Sauce religious loonies who are out there. Like many fundamentalists they are totally inflexible, waving a GNU as if it were handed down by God to Richard Stallman." - Nick Farrell Recipient of overwhelmingly positive reviews among the GNU/Linux advocates: - "Low life at its best. But thats what you are. Worth a lot less than stinking contaminated dirt" - Peter Köhlmann - "He's a rotten POS." - Chris Ahlstrom AKA The Pee-Pee Wiper (http://bit.ly/1wg0lkd) - "He's a troll, that's his stock and trade." - RonB - "Slimer is a filthy hater, liar and fraud IMHO." - Marti Van Lin - "We know that it was the "Slimer", the shameless liar who takes pride, apparently, in being a worthless trolling asshole." - chrisv
