[Klug-general] Computer Game Festival

Wed Feb 20 18:28:06 UTC 2013

Back in the day before wives, girlfriends, and mistresses KLUG used to do
Sunday night FLOSS online gaming events.  Oh the good old days.  Only
gaming time I get now is playing on my Nexus 7 for my 40 min commute out of
NYC.

Best Linux (and Win/Mac) game is still http://urbanterror.info.
