Well, if you play the game on a Linux box with the right command line switches, you can turn on the telepathic link that tells you what the hearts mean without your having to click on them. Same thing for figuring out what heroic quality the hall of fame gave a character. It's really cool.

I grew up on Unix. For those who know, Kernighan & Ritchie wre clearly divine beings. Never used Linux.
