 probably my favorite genre of games are first-person shooters and being a fan of Linux and free and open source software the great thing about free and open source gaming is we have a ton of great free and open source first-person shooters and one of my favorite one I've played on and off for many many years now is cube two or sour Broughton you can go check out the website at sour Broughton.org and sour Broughton has been around forever I remember playing sour Broughton probably a decade ago and it's a great game it's a it's a really fun first-person shooter that does have some active players and the great thing about it is it's cross-platform so it's free and open source software but it's not just available on Linux it's also available on Windows and Mac OS as well so when you launch sour Broughton you can either play online multiplayer which is what most people are gonna want to do but there is an excellent single-player mode you can go to bot match and play against bots and you could actually adjust the skill level of the bots and the number of bots you're playing against I'm gonna go with the default settings here and I'm gonna just quickly show you a bot match you have various types of games you can select I'm gonna do the free-for-all against the bots and then you get to pick your map I'll pick the cartel map here and then I've got a revolver here which isn't a very good gun it doesn't do a lot of damage oh but I did hit somebody but it's not gonna kill him let me switch to a different weapon so I scroll the mouse wheel and I get this grenade launcher which if I can hit somebody with the grenades it would be great but now I've switched to a machine gun but it does quite a bit of damage but you do have to hit them now I've got the four barrel shotgun let me get the armor so at least I'm not dying but I'm not killing any of these bots either free-for-alls can be kind of messy right it's kind of confusing there's so much going on when you've got me against five bots well it's six of us in the game me and five bots but six people everyone for himself let me get the grenade launcher because I think I could kill somebody with it oh I've got the chainsaw let's go I've always wanted to chainsaw somebody did I get him I know I hit him but I don't think I killed him all right let me switch back to a gun I've got a gun I guess I all I've got is the revolver I've got a shotgun got the four barrel shotgun now gameplay let's talk about zooming you hit G on the keyboard you can zoom you could also hit Z on the keyboard to zoom I don't really need to zoom with any of the weapons here most of these are close-quarters weapons like this shotgun there's no point in trying to scope somebody way off anyway that was just a little bit of the bot play the bot play is pretty fun now let's actually play a online multiplayer game so let's go ahead and play a insta team game so they're gonna be two teams there's gonna be the blue team there's gonna be the red team you're always on the blue team so you never have to worry about getting the colors mistaken anybody that's red you need to kill them and this is a 60-person max game there's 11 people in it right now the map is Venice and let's go ahead and join it and this game how it works is everyone has a rifle and the rifle is a one-shot kill so you don't have to worry about learning a map and finding cool weapons or being stuck with a weapon that doesn't do anything right so it's a very fair kind of way to play and I like it and this is probably the most popular kind of game on Sauer brought in are these multiplayer insta team games and let me go find the red players saw one I don't think he saw me if I could find him again oh I hear someone with a chainsaw up I'm not doing very well here one thing I will mention for those watching me play of course I don't game that often but I am better at this game than I'm showing on camera here but the problem here is I am actually playing this game on my Kensington expert trackball mouse so actually I'm actually kind of surprised how well the trackball is working for me inside a little church here and let me get him it's not bad actually I will say the Kensington expert although it's definitely not a gaming mouse this really big trackball I can get a pretty precise shot rather quickly with it the only problem is when you get excited it moves way too quickly too fast matter fact because I have a triple monitor system there's been a couple of times here where I've actually moved the trackball to where it had focus on another monitor that's not playing the game which obviously is going to get me killed oh so the thing to notice about this is that when you shoot the rifle there is a pause there's a delay you can you know you've got a couple of seconds between each shot so if you miss you're very vulnerable the other thing is the rifle does have some recoil which is unique not a lot of games have recoil when it comes to shooting so you actually get moved back just a hair but it's it's noticeable oh the guy on the roof I saw him at the last second but it was too late and this guy is camping his spawn camping let me go get that guy oh there he is I thought I had him but he got me somehow oh and then somebody snuck up behind me okay well you're not very good of course I'm not very good either I lost focus oh thank you my teammate got him I was dead there of the trackball it actually rolled across to the far right monitor so I'd actually lost focus mouse focus on this monitor so I was dead had my teammate not shot that guy when he did yeah maybe I should plug in a real mouse somebody got shot there now one thing about these maps is of course we've got these buildings I mean I could go up in a tower you know and try to be sneaky get up high and one of these buildings where I'm would probably stand a better chance of not getting killed as often I can go up the steps here let's go ahead I've got a ladder here let's try to get to the top of this building I've got these windows and now would be a good time to zoom so I hit G or Z on the keyboard either one I see if I can scope anybody out now I never saw anybody but somebody definitely scoped me out because they'd get me so and yeah I better not stay in one place too long that that's gonna be dangerous oh somebody somebody tried to sneak up on me there and of course the real secret to this kind of map is actually knowing the map knowing you know the good hiding spots knowing where people like to perch in these towers you've got a lot of people that they they find their spot that they like and you know you that is really the difference in the game oh there was somebody up there I don't know if I got him or I might have missed him really I'm just looking for somebody to kill I'm not even trying to be sneaky I'm just out here in the open I want to frag people for about five to ten minutes and then call it a day but this is Sauer Brotten just a cursory overview of Sauer Brotten which again free and open source software cross-platform available Windows Mac and Linux dang got him okay well I he had to be still for a minute for me to get him but of course the rest of my teammates were also missing him I see you up there I see you let's zoom in anyway that's Sauer Brotten so I hope you guys will go check that out Sauer Brotten for those of you on Linux being free and open source software and it's been around for many many years Sauer Brotten should be in every Linux distributions repos if you do install Sauer Brotten and check out some of the multiplayer online games I typically do play the Insta team games on the Venice map and if you see a player named RT FM that's gonna be me now before I go I
