You can unsubscribe from an article at any time (see the bold writing above the comments..), you can also tell it to not subscribe automatically from your UserCP.

it was later changed - somewhere in march.

thats my wild guess

aye, unity3d can look as good as unigine i think. maybe its not optimized that far as unigine is but still.
it just that unity3d was first used for small indie games cause of the pricing and the free demo of the engine.
that makes many think that this game engine is not capable of pulling AAA titles.

take a look at Airbuccaneers or Guns Of Icarus for example. they look absolutely amazing and are done with unity3d

manjaro or cinnarch are probably the best bets.
cinnarch if you want out of box cinnamon
manjaro if you want xfce (because thats the most polished from their side)
chakra if you want kde

and pure Arch with your own tweaks if you are freak like me lol :D

Zoftilo Voice Chat

nice to see alternatives imo.
i myself using teamspeak3 mostly, cause i find its features the best (except somewhat higher cpu usage than mumble)
mumble for me has some nice features missing or i havent just found them. for example adjusting peoples volume levels (not global volume).

will keep eye on the Zoftilo Voice Chat... lets see what comes out of it

Legends of Aethereus an MMORPG in closed beta that's coming to Linux
13 March 2013 at 11:33 am UTC

its far from MMORPG
its more like small number of players on Co-Op Game
as MMORPG stands for Massively multiplayer online role-playing game

so it can be MORPG without Massively :D

nice game though, last time i tried there was beta v2
is that updated?
cause there were some nasty bugs before
