At least if someone else revives you the heat isn't completely lost and could even be regained should the revived player revive the other person down the road Well, further down the line doesn't particularly mean the same floor either.

Heat only applies to that which is gained on that specific floor, then it's perma-banked once you reach the elevator, then it starts over again. I know in arenas, sometimes peeps take a full group, then once they get to the end 3 of them repeatedly kill themselves on the spikes so the fourth can revive them and get extra heat for it.

Lurking on the forums. Are you sure? Yep, wikipedia confirms three models -- early , mid , and late mine's in the middle Yes, laptops may be worse than a corresponding desktop.

Yes, a mobility card in a laptop is worse than a discrete in a desktop. For a game that claims to only need an and, on microsoft windows, that may be enough , that's not very good To clarify: On a dell Microsoft Windows machine with a "geoforce 4 mx ", a card that is geoforce 4 only in name, it plays just fine, and that's actually a weaker card than either macintosh.

What's really scary? And, both were way out of date in when the mac mini came out. Not so when the G4 laptop came out earlier. I think the bottom line may just be that the mac's driver is worse than the microsoft driver. There's a competitive drive to keep improving one driver, and no drive to improve the other driver.

Your machine doesn't meet the minimum Spiral Knights specs. They require 64MB of video memory. Your Mac mini has 32MB. Depending on which CPU you got in that model, you're either just over the spec at 1.

The spec requires 1. I've been a Mac owner since , and I can tell you that the Mac mini was always a low-end machine compared to other models available at the same time. You criticized Spiral Knights as "effectively unplayable" on your machine. Expecting a low-end machine from 6 years ago to play Spiral Knights seems unreasonable to me.

I won't suggest that you run out and buy a new machine; that'd be obnoxious of me. Instead, I suggest you delay playing Spiral Knights until the day you do get a new machine.
