linux fucks up productivity
It’s official. Open source operating systems fuck up your productivity at work. Particularly SuSE, especially SuSE seeing that I use it in the office.
Don’t get me wrong. I like SuSE, I do. It’s fast, it’s stable and with just those two factors, a refreshing break from Window$ (though I use Window$ at home). It took me less than a month to adapt to something other than Window$, it’s pretty okay so far, no major scalps.
Until one day…
SuSE comes with a whole lot of built-in games. I uninstalled most of it because I know I wouldn’t be touching them any time soon. I’m sure they are good games, but I have never been one to play desktop golf.
Then I spotted a cute penguin icon, and proceeded to click on it…
Then I was hooked and as far as my friends are concerned, the rest is history as illustrated in the example below:
Weekend. Phone rings. I pick up.
FA: Yo bitch what’s you up to?
Me: Playing Supertux.
FA: ….. wtf AGAIN?!?!?!??!?
Yes, and it’s so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Supertux is a 2D game built on the inspiration of Super Mario, one of FAVOURITEST GAMES EVAR! I can’t even begin to describe its awesomeness, so here are a couple of screen shots.
I have the old version at work and I’ve since stopped playing it in the office because…
I HAVE SUPERTUX ON MY PERSONAL LAPTOP 
There’s a Window$ version and I installed the latest Supertux (0.3.0), you too can download it here, that is if you haven’t already. It’s awesome!
The past couple of days I’ve had some free time at work, so…
SHISEN-SO is bloody awesome as well!!!!! The Window$ version is sucky as heck, so I uninstalled it from my laptop. But not gonna have much time to play it lah… work is important, you know… 
SuSE is evil and I heart it so much!!!!!
p/s: hi boss I love my job.

I might hate you forever for this – totally addictive, and I hate computer games. “Just thought I’d try it out” – damn, cannot stop. Perfect for the laptop.
Hate you, love you

Try Tux Racer
…
http://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/index.html
Sweet games! Both the Super Tux and Tux Racer. I’ll download it soon. Thanks for sharing
i have a friend who threw out the windows he had on his laptop and replaced it with linux.. and he’s damn proud of it too
If you like old games, try dosbox, I tried it on ubuntu, and it’s pretty nice. I played Doom, Serf City and Abuse at work
, it’s open sores, i mean source, so i’m sure you can get it from your YUM repos.
I use DOSbox, it rocks, you can play loads of abandon ware..
Not particularly open source, but still free
Tux Racer is great too.
You guys are evil… Games are important… Oppss… I mean work is important.

supertux rox. i think played it quite a lot until i finally finish all standard levels (which took longer as ever as compared to a normal person, i am too old for games…) your post makes me wanna start playing it again (perhaps i shall install it on my Nokia internet tablet)
why SuSE in office? i believe that is a brave move of your company (unless forced to use lah
)
Cool, thanks for the heads up on shisen-sho
I’d not heard of it before. I found some good game links googling for it.

I assume you’re using a linux/kde version?
I’ll give SuperTux a miss for now… addictive games are the last thing I need :p Oh well, there’s Spider Solitaire… =/ Gah, wonder if it’s still winter outside?
