I'll reply to this in a half hour when Windows Media Crippler is done trying to stream it.

It is better just to save the Windows Media version to your drive and play it because the server hosting the WMV one seems to have crappy bandwidth. I was only getting like 3KB per sec trying to stream it.

Okay, I'm back. It's not funny. It's true, but it's not funny.

At least it's not THIS one, which is not trying to be funny (and is actually from Apple  :( )

It's stupid. Basically this guy spoofing the Switch adds saying how bad the Mac is for gaming. Haw! Haw! Haw!

It's kind of well done actually, and pretty funny. But way, WAY, exagerated and a bit off base.

BFD. No one buys a Mac for gaming. Or no one that knows anyting about gaming, anyway. Gaming is more of an afterthought for most mac users. I myself own about a a dozen games and play about 2-3 hours a week, tops.

Anyway, the guy in that parody is so damn pathetic and nerdy looking, it's no wonder he plays so many games. He's obviously not a hit with the ladies.

actally, all the games that i love and cherish, like most things from blizzard, have mac native versions. its just games like counter-strike, wich has most windiod luzers by the balls that don't have native versions from what i have seen, theres even a version of quake3 for mac. i kinda think that macosx is for like idiots that need a simple os, and hackers like the rest of us.

and on top of that there is giong to be a native version of Never Winter Nights for macosx. and i think that the toolkit might be coming to linux, cuase i was reading that borleand is finally getting off there asses and porting there compiler to linux
