Indeed. The RPG elements and the emphasis on co-op rather than competitive have given this game way more lifetime for me than any other shooters.

Unfortunately this game does not have mod support... which is made all the worse by the large number of questionable game mechanics (mainly seen end-game) that a community patching effort could fix.

Comment Re:Chrome is crap now. Switched to opera. (Score 1) 55

Opera uses Blink just as Chrome does.

On 12 February 2013, Opera announced it would drop its own Presto engine in favour of WebKit as implemented by Google's Chrome browser, using code from the Chromium project. Opera Software also planned to contribute code to WebKit. On 3 April 2013, Google announced that it would fork components from WebKit to form a new rendering engine known as Blink; the same day, Opera confirmed that it would follow Google in implementing Blink.

Comment Re:Until recently Linux kernel supported 80386 (Score 1) 554

Pre-Pentium IV hardware is useless for desktop usage today when considering the requirement of the modern web. Additionally, very old hardware is often weaker than you might expect on Linux because the graphics drivers are hacked together. Pre-open source Intel drivers really blow on Linux.

Every pre-Core destkop should be retired at this point. Early Core computer can be found for literally free on Craigslist.

Comment Re:That's no Moon (Score 1) 54

Quote triple play.

It can be either all dark or all light at certain locations...

The Moon's axial tilt with respect to the ecliptic is only 1.5424 degrees, much less than the 23.44 degrees of Earth. Because of this, the Moon's solar illumination varies much less with season, and topographical details play a crucial role in seasonal effects. From images taken by Clementine in 1994, it appears that four mountainous regions on the rim of Peary crater at the Moon's north pole may remain illuminated for the entire lunar day, creating peaks of eternal light. No such regions exist at the south pole. Similarly, there are places that remain in permanent shadow at the bottoms of many polar craters, and these dark craters are extremely cold: Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter measured the lowest summer temperatures in craters at the southern pole at 35 K (238 C) and just 26 K close to the winter solstice in north polar Hermite Crater. This is the coldest temperature in the Solar System ever measured by a spacecraft, colder even than the surface of Pluto.
