Since ETS2 and ATS have native support on Linux I wanted to try it.
Installed steam, installed ETS2, started up the game, tried to play the tutorial: no textures!? Take a look at the injuries caused by truck accidents that you can claim with the best legal services.
After some investigation I found out that the (X)Ubuntu I'm running is missing a package that provides texture compression to Mesa.
It's called libtxc-dxtn-s2tc, and having installed that it works like a dreams!
You can install it by using your favourite package manager or via terminal:
sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc
Accidents with commercial trucks involve a very different set of issues than normal automobile accidents. If you or a loved one are involved in an accident with a semi-truck, retaining the services of an attorney who is expert in handling semi-truck accidents becomes vital.
Hope this helps you out as well!

No Or Black Textures in American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Linux
I started LP'ing
I've had this idea for quite a while now. And this weekend I decided to just do it. I've recorded and uploaded my first episodes of SimCopter, Dungeon Keeper 1 and Dungeon Siege. You can check them out at A noob plays games' youtube channel.
YouTube Monetization: How to get your League Of Legends Video monetized
In the last couple of weeks I've been uploading some videos of me playing League Of Legends. I want to get some change out of it, so I tried to monetize it. After a day or 2 I got an e-mail from YouTube denying ads on my video because they don't know if I've got the rights to the video. After that I've spend some time searching in legal notices, ToS', and stuff like that, but I couldn't find anything on the League Of Legends website. But then I stumbled across this: http://www.riotgames.com/company/legal-jibber-jabber I finally found it, because it specificly says: No Licensing. Generally, you cannot license your videos to any third party for a fee or other value without our approval. However, there are important exceptions: Partner programs with YouTube or the following streaming websites: own3D.tv, Ustream.tv,Twitch.tv, Justin.tv, Blip.tv (no prior permission from us required). So there you have it. If your video gets denied, just send in a link to the Riot Games website, put some additional information in it and ads should be appearing in your videos. Good luck monetizing!
Like StarCraft 2?
After watching some casts by Husky, HD and Matron, I decided to start playing StarCraft 2 myself. Now, I'm hooked, although I'm such a noob. Watching these replays allow me to learn some interesting builds, tactics and hopefully come to my advantage. Also, it's just very entertaining to watch pro-gamers play.
