Submission + - Slashdot Alum Samzenpus's Fractured Veil Hits Kickstarter

CmdrTaco writes: Long time Slashdot readers remember Samzenpus,who posted over 17,000 stories here, sadly crushing my record in the process! What you might NOT know is that he was frequently the Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns played by the original Slashdot crew, and for the last few years he has been applying these skills with fellow Slashdot editorial alum Chris DiBona to a Survival game called Fractured Veil. It's set in a post apocalyptic Hawaii with a huge world based on real map data to explore, as well as careful balance between PVP & PVE. I figured a lot of our old friends would love to help them meet their kickstarter goal and then help us build bases and murder monsters! The game is turning into something pretty great and I'm excited to see it in the wild!

These specific companies still advertise? Why?

Gotta say as much as I "hate" Microsoft, having been an OS/2 guy in a past life, Linux for half of the '90's, brief fling with Apple products in 2000-2005 and then Linux again, the Surface is a decent looking piece of hardware. I'd consider buying one if I could install Linux on it.

I've also overcome my hatred of Dell recently after realizing that they do actually build real machines and not just those "my first laptop" ones that your company issues you. You can even find a Dell Precision laptop on their website that you can have them install Linux on for you. You'll want to wipe their Dell version of Linux for something else once you get it and you really do have to hunt for the machine on their web site, but it IS there!
