Nothing :/ Finally got rid of Windows on everything I own(well technically it's still installed on a HDD I salvaged from another computer, but I kept it for the data, not the OS) so now I'm pulling my hair out getting games to work in Wine. Having a fair bit of success actually, since luckily the games I play(HL2 mods mostly) work well with Wine.
Probably going to try Crysis soon. Apparently you can play without DRM now(and without pirating it). Still up in the air on that one though, since they obviously didn't provide the DRM removal tool because they gave up on DRM, but simply because they want to stop paying for the DRM servers and don't really care too much about pirates "eating into" their remaining sales.
The usual WoW raids, with Mass Effect when I find the time. NFS:Shift seems fun, but I concluded that I should buy a steering wheel or drop it - and went for the latter.
It amazes me that someone who plays games doesn't use Windows -- even if you're really and truly against using Windows, why not maintain a dual-boot for games?
Only reason I can think of is that you are claiming a copy of Windows is too expensive for your computer, but even then you'll spend more effort and time + hassle trying to finangle Linux emulation into working well, instead of just buying a copy and enjoying the real deal in under 30 minutes.
What for? I haven't missed it on my laptop so far.And lets be serious, anyone who is making a transition from Windows must *at least* have a copy of XP hanging around.
Heh, I've been thinking about getting one - or one of the PS2-lookalike USB controllers (e.g. a Saitek P380). Would be useful for the odd bit of emulation, too.Xbox 360 controller ftw . Works great with Shift and a lot of other games.

If it was all frustration then I'd agree. But I really enjoy it because I usually learn a lot as I go. This is less true of Linux than of BSD, but I still learn a decent amount of practical computer knowledge figuring out how to make things work.
There's actually a lot of convenience too, since just like Steam, I can download and install various other operating systems wherever I am, without having to worry about finding a copy in the store. I think that and living off a netbook for awhile have made me a bigger fan of free operating systems. It's nice to have an "oh shit" thumb drive that you can use to reinstall your OS with, or to be able to quickly and easily make one.
Anyway, up until about a month ago when I had to say goodbye to my gaming computer I'd always gamed on Windows. I just decided to give Wine a shot recently and it works well enough for me.
I'm not sure if you read the thread, but we're referring to a poster who left Windows for Linux and is complaining about the fairly obvious difficulties gaming on Linux. Our suggestion being to maintain Windows as a dual-boot.
Almost ashamed to admit this, but I am hooked on FarCry2 again at the moment. After playing over 100 hours of Borderlands, I was in the mood for something slightly more realistic looking, and FC2 fits the bill nicely. Another one of my friends just started playing FC2, and that reminded me how much fun I had grinding away at that game last time. So I've been playing through it again w/ a "treasure map" I printed out, and having a lot of fun finding all hidden diamonds etc.
I also just started Serious Sam HD, and that game is a complete blast! So much old-school goodness to be had.
Other than that, been hopping around to a bunch of other games: Just finished Machinarium, still playing World of Goo, Osmos, Overlord 2, Ghostbusters, and a few others on occasion.
I still have so many unfinished games I need to complete before I go buying any more. Really want to start DragonAge, but I really can't justify that purchase atm. No idea what I'm going to do when all the big releases come up soon.
Far Cry 2 is brilliant. I love this game. This is what I'll play if I've gotten home late from work and have an hour before bedtime. You can just pick up a gun and wander through Africa and shoot at people, and cause anarchy. It's great. I love walking along the road and wondering if a car will come along - sometimes I'll shoot at it with a missile, or sometimes I'll just let it pass by. There are so many ways to play this game.

Dark Age of Camelot as I just discovered it still has a jam-packed server left that has steady population, and lots of Street Fighter 4 (IV) mixed in. I plan to go through Dragon Age shortly.
Likewise, people complained about the rivers being empty - yeah, and if the developer had put crocodiles in the rivers, then people would've whined about the re-spawning crocodiles. It amazes me though that anybody would complain about the rivers in Far Cry 2 being empty, and yet overlook the fact that the ocean in Crysis is devoid of sharks. Where are the sharks? If you're going to argue that Far Cry 2 should have crocodiles, then you should argue as well that Crysis ought to have sharks.
People complained about Far Cry 2's re-spawning guards at the guard posts, but if the guards hadn't re-spawned people would've said that the world felt empty.
There's a reason the guards re-spawn fairly rapidly - it's to create tension. When I'm wandering down a road, I'm continuously worried that a car is going to come around the corner. Half the time, I find myself staying away from the road, and making my way instead through the jungle, or the grasses off to the side of the road - that's tension.

Actually... there are sharks in Crysis.
