Question 480

X is a sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid that is present in most crude petroleums and in some natural deposits sometimes termed X-um. In U.S. and Polish terminology, X (or X cement) is the carefully refined residue from the distillation process of selected crude oils. Outside these countries, the product is often called bitumen.
The primary use of X is in road construction, where it is used as the glue or binder for the aggregate particles. The road surfacing material is usually called 'X-ic concrete', AC in North America, or 'X' elsewhere. Within North America the apparent interchangeability of the words X and 'bitumen' causes confusion outside the road construction industry despite quite clear definitions within industry circles.
What is the word X which is highly famous among gamers?

Answer: Asphalt! Cracked by all!
