Tyranny – Story driven RPG where your choices mean all the difference in a world conquered by evil. Gorgeous graphics, in-depth RPG storyline where you’re engaged in conversations that actually matter and your responses matter. Loot is plentiful and combat is handled brilliantly with  strategic battles that include a pause option to allow you to properly plan your parties attack and ability use.

Google+ Twitter @popey TriggerPope Mastodon Youtube Launchpad Github Ubuntu Member Ubuntu LoCo Member Ubuntu Membership Board Some information on Alan’s Bio Alan has been a Community Manager at Canonical primarily working on Ubuntu for devices but is pretty much anywhere and everywhere that Ubuntu is. He first encountered Linux in the mid-1990s, and ran Red Hat then Debian on the desktop and server until Ubuntu Warty came out. Alan has been using Ubuntu since 4.10 – the Warty Warthog and never looked back. Previously Alan spent 13 years working as a system admin on some evil German proprietary software, but did what he could for Ubuntu and Linux in his spare time. Alan became an Ubuntu member in 2006 and has in the past been the contact person for the UK LoCo team, a member of the LoCo Council and a member of the EMEA Membership board and the Community Council. He quite dislikes forums. Alan likes cats. Setup and ran the Screencast Team which aimed to create a set of tutorial videos for new Ubuntu users. As part of that he managed the Ubuntu Screencasts Site. Since then Alan has now handed this over to another Ubuntu member. Often runs development releases of Ubuntu early in the cycle to provide testing, bug reporting and triage help. Helping to organise OGGCamp – a barcamp style unconference. The Ubuntu Podcast Started the Ubuntu Podcast and continue to co-present, mirror, co-produce and co-manage the show along with a few other members of the UK LoCo Team Mark Johnson & Martin Wimpress UBP has around 3,000 core subscribers with each episode downloaded about 10,000 times.
