Brütal Legend and Steam

So, after going through some really disappointing Indie games, I get to Brütal Legend which was a great surprise.  It works on Linux and it plays really well.  I had minor problems figuring out the controller support but this Steam thread should be helpful.  First thing is first though, you should configure the gamepad on Big Picture.  The shell script needs some Linux reworking to get rid of the dos \r stuff, but once you've cleaned it up, it will grab the SDL configuration for you.  The script is modified for Costume Quest (which funnily enough is modified from The Cave), but it's easy to change the paths for your install of Brütal Legend.

Good luck and save that SDL config file!

Things to remember with git

I hate git with a passion... and regretfully, I have to keep track of things with git that I always forget.  So, here are stuff I need to remind myself when setting up git:

git config --global user.name "My Name"

git config --global user.email "my@email.com"

git clone username@somehost:~whateverthis/is.git
