Battle for Wesnoth
If you have spent much time in Open Source gaming Battle for Wesnoth is a project you are familiar with. Battle for Wesnoth has been going strong since 2003 and the developers have released big sets of updates including large graphical overhauls, extra campaigns and features. As the game has evolved over the years it's been a pure cross platform game and playable on Windows, Mac and Linux long before Steam released a Linux client opening the floodgates to more cross platform games. Recently the Wesnoth project dropped on Steam which means that it's available, for free, on Steam to play right now.

Sweet now I can get incredibly frustrated by RNG on Steam too!
I jest, it’s a solid game. Back in the day it was this and Tuxracer if you were on Linux.
Yeah and everything iD ported as well. It's cool to see the project keep going and that it's living on and hopefully this gives it a wider look.
So, not sure if people knew, but Travis and I were admins on ye olde Ubuntu Forums. Travis, did you partake in any of the gaming events we had where people got together to play Wesnoth and Quake 3?
I know I was in some Wesnoth events yeah. And I think a weird open source game in the quake 3 engine that had you playing as toys in someone's room? I can't remember it clearly but I remember playing with jdong.
OpenArena if memory serves. But what you describe sounds like the Counter-Strike map Rats to me.
World of Padman is what I was thinking of:

Oh yeah, I remember that game. I don't think I played it, but I remember it being rather popular with the free shooter community.
