Daxton777 · 12-29-2010, 05:26 PM

You ask if anyone has a mac on the PC forum? Fail lol.

***Ace Mercury*** · 12-29-2010, 05:32 PM

No, you are the fail Daxton.

And then he was a zombie botnet.

laboxer1 · 12-29-2010, 05:46 PM

yeah i didnt know where else to post this hahahaha

***Ace Mercury*** · 12-29-2010, 05:48 PM

It's a good place to put this thread.

Most of the people around me at work bring in their own Macbook and have the latest iPhone 3G/S whatever. I brought in a Toshiba P4 1.2GHz laptop, 128 MB of RAM, from 2002 =/

Daxton777 · 12-29-2010, 05:48 PM

*sniff sniff* I'm not a fail!

laboxer1 · 12-29-2010, 05:50 PM

=/ Toshiba is still good
Everyones a fail

Daxton777 · 12-29-2010, 06:00 PM

Rob, you took no offense to that, right?

laboxer1 · 12-29-2010, 06:08 PM

naaaaaaa i dont care =D

**X-3** · 12-29-2010, 06:09 PM

It's alright. You can cry. You don't have to hide your pain and burden.

laboxer1 · 12-29-2010, 06:11 PM

Daxton777 · 12-29-2010, 06:12 PM

Its quite alright, I can be strong about this.

laboxer1 · 12-29-2010, 06:16 PM

STOP BEING BITCHES IN MY FORUM

Yes, this is a perfectly reasonable place to talk about Macs. It's more or less a computer gaming forum but there's nowhere else on VGF one would especially put Mac questions. So this is fine.

SuzyQueue · 12-30-2010, 02:17 AM

Ive got a mac and play plenty of games on it

you should look into the humble indie bundles, along with Team Fortress 2, that's all mac compatible

Torchlight is cool, although needs multiplayer

Minecraft is java, so that works, Holiday-Themed Kennerson and I have a server

although I DO have windows 7 on a partition that I usually use... haha

General Gaming forum would work just fine, but Apple computers now fall under the PC clone/compatible formula due to a shift in priorities.

It's kind of too bad it completely contradicts the older anti-Intel/Microsoft/CISC sentiments, because I'm not a fan of supporting hypocrisy. I do like their concept of software simplicity, although the structure is still too rigid for my taste.

***Ace Mercury*** · 12-30-2010, 08:09 AM

Apple's definitely moving away from hardware. That's a commodity market now, and the online experience has much greater market cap with fewer competitors.

So now when you think of Apple, you think of the iPhone (with its data services, online apps, etc.), iTunes, the App Store, and black mock turtleneck sweaters.

Noooo! Not the General Gaming Forum! It already stole my top spot under the VGF.com heading! What will its grasping claws... grasp at next?

I have a Macintosh actually. A Mac is a PC in the sense of the x86 processor but I think when people say PC these days it refers to x86/Windows.

Like if I go into a store and buy a game and it says PC it means a computer running Windows and Macs are computers by Apple that run Mac OS. Other then that, there isn't much of a difference. I could put Windows on my Macintosh so its PC-Compatible to say the least.

I have never done this though my dad is a geek (he loves all computers) and has Windows on his Macintosh and like at least three different Linux distros. Dual Boot ftw?

Anyway sorry about bumping this thread but yes I have Steam. Sadly the only game i have is Day of Defeat Source. I missed out on the free portal thing.

I really want L4D2, C-S:S and Torchlight. Buuut I am saving up my allowance for the Mac Box Set.

Hopefully iWork '11 will be out by the time Lion comes out so I can upgrade iLife '09 to iLife '11 and iWork '09 to iWork '11 along with upgrading Mac OS X Snow Leopard to Mac OS X Lion =D

Did I mention I am also an awesome geek for my age? Blame my dad though. He tried extra hard to make me a nerd and I "think" it worked.

Yes, I love all computers and Operating Systems. Calling Mac users stupid/gay and Windows users stupid/gay and Linux users nerds is for btards.

Tru fax =D

My dad always says. Its a computer. Use what you like. Thats why there is something called choice xD

the larger portion of pre-built macs aren't built for gaming, you usually need a more custom setup don't you?
