Doing laundry will cease to happen. I will be forced to don an outfit made out of blankets and/or possibly a towel.

The actual definition of Linear reads as (pertaining to this issue): "Of, relating to, or resembling a line; straight."

To address what bm111 is saying, I think he means that Enslaved (and newer games in general I guess) tend not to present the player with a "choice" when traveling through the level. You're presented with a set, strict platforming path to get from point A to point B, with no real options to deviate from said path to reach the goal. Hence, a straight line.

Now while the original RE and Metroid games still required you to obtain a specific item (key, ball form, etc.) to move past certain checkpoints, the player was free to explore a vast number of other locations and directions as well. In this exploration, there would often be a different reward altogether (like ammo, or missle upgrades). In that sense, the player is presented with multiple, non-linear paths to choose from.

I was actually born on Mother's Day, so whenever the two fall on the same day, we celebrate both.

Naughty today.

Today? Naughty.

Bumped into something in the dark, and this horrible digitized scream rang forth from it.

It's speech was incomprehensible, until the beast uttered its name, so that I could hear the harbinger of my doom:

"FURRRRRBYYYY!"
