PC vs Mac argues, a very pointless waste of air.

I usally use both if you wonder. But currently I have a pc laptop only. (Good enough to play games with.)

It's real sweet of valve of making their games work on macs, and not any need to rebuy them. L4D2, and wow is the only games I play on the computer now. So it's nice to know I can get a mac and still play em.

But after Blizz made Warcraft 3 able to be installed both on mac and pc I've always wonder why everyone isn't doing that. Any answear I get on that one has always feelt vaig compared to the wave of potetial costumers there has to be in making games for mac aswell as pc. It's a step in the right diraction everyone should have taken years ago.

On actuall game related stuff I really look forward to the Dragon age expansion. It's probably the only game I will afford this month. Problem is that I really look forward to the Perfect dark remake for xbox live aswell. So I might go both and eat kidnapped children the rest of the month.

I see the Mac haters are outted. Now I know who to avoid. :p

Agreed. I use what works for me. ;)

Blizzard has always been great supporters of Mac gaming. The vast majority of the discs are hybrids. Always puzzled me though, even after being part of a gaming/game artist group for 12 years... Why say it's so hard to develop for Mac when they have very few variations in hardware whereas Windows machines have 7 bajillion variations.

Removes rebuttals and more inflammatory remarks about Mac Haters. ;)

Been playing Assassin's Creed 2 and Borderlands. The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is pretty awesome. A 10-12hr piece of DLC, totally the best DLC purchase I've made in a long time. :D

I think this is rather still the same. Windows is a crashmaster, but Mac just can't play games and isn't customizable after purchase.

I'm using 7 right now, and I'm doing ok.
I don't download russian loli torrents anymore though, :D

Delicious russian loli torrents...

By that I, of course, refer to pictures of russian lollipops.

Yeah, most people agree that one sucked. Fortunately not all that many were made.

I never tried it, went from a VIC-20 to Apple IIs to NeXT cubes to Macs to PCs wishing I was still using Macs to PCs wishing I was using Macs with their new NeXT-based OS. So I wouldn't really know much about the Apple III except that it was a flop, and then 1984 came along & nobody cared.

And now we have the iPad. Even Apple screws up now & then. ;)

Just had a hilarious game with Dracula, Grim and a friend of mine in L4D2. I really enjoyed it!

Grim has been a lojal person on Steam. Often joins when we need an extra player. Real fun. When he is not throwing molotows on me. :)

I swear, half the time it is entirely an accident! The molotovs just HAPPEN to land at your feet! The fuel cannister just HAPPENS to be shot by me!


Besides, a certain vampire named fellow got it twice as bad this time...

The whole throw a molo infront of you tactic isn't really something i would recommend to my kids. :)

I usally throw them to block certian paths or at tanks.

That WAS a lot of fun!

Grim's right though, it's easy to make those mistakes. Like the time he was incapped by that gas can and I just happened to blow it open and light him on fire. I was shooting zombie ghosts, you can't see them! :shock:

But yeah, we all gotta play again some time.

Drac's prime moment - In the sewer of third map of the Parish, while fending off zombies one of his bullet misses any of them and flys to the other side of the sewer and kills me, attempting to rescue a incapped survivor.

Sometimes the zombies just left us alone out of pity.
