Re: Front Row Seat
My area in Idaho is also expected to be "front row seat" and they say to expect as much as 80,000 more people in the area (in addition to the existing 40,000).

Re: Portal and Portal 2 for Linux.
I installed Steam on my Linux and Portal shows ... but it won't play on my Linux (lappy with under-appreciated video) because there isn't sufficient OpenGL support for my lappy's video.
Oh well, reboot in XP and I run Portal there.

Re: Descent 3 Linux Files
32bit. Didn't delete any original folders.
The system is Xubuntu 13.04 (Xfce Ubuntu).
Also tried running the Descent 3 Loki CD on a Linux Mint (Mate) 14.1 that has never had any Descent 3 on it ... got the same bash message.
Yes, I made sure I was running with root access.

Just take one of the Mario fighting games, and substitute the mushroom kingdom characters with Disney characters and give them abilities similar to their movie roles .
