Wait, when did Frazzler's karma drop below ThirdStreetTito's?
Anyways, I think the OP here needs to learn a little bit about how to use a forum, or what a community is like.
For the Source engine argument:
Those of us on Linux cannot use the Source engine; that cuts off a large sector of the current community.
The Source engine is nowhere near the definition "crap", it's just not cross-platform.
As for the original topic:
As far as I know, Wine cannot grab mic inputs, so you'll have to figure out how to natively run Tremulous; this should not be hard if you actually work in the field you claim you do.
On forum etiquette:
Please, if you have three things to say, put those three things in one post.
If you forgot to say something and nobody has replied yet, use the modify button.
Use punctuation. Turning your entire post into a run-on sentence will not draw the sympathy or the help of the community.
Think before you speak.
Actually try doing something before you ask.
Do research.
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
