Of course, now in the age of information, the problem would be you would hunt for the crucial file only to find old usenet posts mentioning it is needed but all the links being dead. Or maybe there just isn't any info about the one file you need. I swear I never get the info I need by using the Internet, I am better off just fighting with things until I figure out something.

Which hardcore enthusiasts are you talking about, the ones on Facebook? And which pack are we talking about, Q2? Not sure that there is a bonus map with mazes, Evil Palace is a multiplayer-only map after all. Singleplayer actually works pretty well. From what I remember, Aftershock had a much worse launcher, having quite a few missing maps.

Well, it is mostly a compilation of stuff other people have done with some personal alterations. Nothing really too fancy, just a few additional features to make the coop server a bit better than a pure vanilla one.

By the way, got around to listening to Beloved Antichrist by Therion. Very boring 3 hour album... it relies a lot on rock riffs and barely anything happening while singing in operatic voices. It picks up at points like it is going to go somewhere, but never really does.

Also decided to try Nightwish's newest album. Extremely disappointing, it feels so... bland and dull. Floor is an uninteresting singer in general, especially after Invisible Circles, and so this just feels like yet another generic album in a long line of similar albums that pervade symphonic metal to make glorified pop with synthesizers and heavier guitars.
