oh damn
Also the Portal turret only does what it's programmed to do and is controlled by GLaDOS. Such is the Mac platform.
Bad Company 2 might go Mac as well. It is not for certain though. DICE said that if they go Mac then they are not doing the shitty emulator thing that 2142 did. I think that if these games are coming to Mac now, then Apple should really get some better graphics cards in their models. Most macs have adequate RAM and processors, they are just bottlenecked for gaming by the graphics card. As of right now, Only the 9600 and 4850 macs have a chance at running BC2, and they are expensive. Mac buyers are already paying through the nose, I would like to see Apple embrace the gaming that is being thrown their way and offer a model with a 5850 or something (let's face it, having a mac with a 5870 or 5970 is never going to happen), and not make it three thousand dollars. Unfortunately I almost guarantee that it will be three thousand dollars, but at least mac users will have the hardware available to them. If they want to pay an unnecessary amount for it, that is their problem.
Its still stupid to reward them for their clearly incorrect choices.

Given the way things go, they're going to keep the lineup simple as-is (with the ability to customize further as they already have on the mac pro). I just hope it doesn't get to the point where fanboys start saying shit like "You should get a mac, they're made for gaming". :sigh:

Can we have some content that doesnt lead to a fucking Mac discussion

Oh for fuck sake
Sorry, sorry. Content then: I had to move an LCD monitor upstairs a few days ago, and while I was carrying it I noticed a little sticker, proudly boasting "WORKS WITH WINDOWS VISTA" It got me thinking. Shouldn't all VGA connected monitors work with any computer that has a VGA output? I then got into this train of thought involving sticking square pegs into round holes, which, I figured, most people seem to do these days. And then it all came down to porn, as usual.

We all agreed that you'd have to be some kind of retard to think that the monitor is incompatible to work with any other Operating System. Than we got into a discussion about the sticker being compatible with the monitor and the font on the sticker being compatible with the sticker. (The last two were jokes, clearly.)
yeah i met this total pc fanboy today "HURP DURP DURRR MACZ SUCKS BCUZ WIND0ZE IS 1337 ND U CANT RIGHT CLICK OR DO ANYTHING LOL"

My laptop wasn't booting up, I'd press the power button and the fan would rev up, then it'd just stop. I'm not all that good at looking for hardware problems, especially on a laptop, so I went to the computer store at the end of the street. The guy behind the counter flips over the machine and removes the battery, the hard-drive and the ram, then presses the power button while nothing happens at all. Of course, even to a relatively untrained person like me, it obvious that the problem in THIS scenario is that without a power source, there isn't a high chance of it booting. The guy looks me straight in the eye and says : "Yeah, this computer is dead, you'll need to buy a new one, do you want a quote?" I took the machine to another shop where the guy tried booting the machine with RAM stick 2 removed, then RAM stick 2 in slot 1 and RAM stick 1 removed, Turns out that RAM stick 1 was dead, and I only had to get a new one of those (not to fix the machine, but to get my full 512kB back, did I say this was an OLD machine?)
Wow, who could fall for that? *Takes apart car engine, removes battery and wheels* *Fails to start car* Yeah, there's your problem, your car is broken.

Friend's facebook status: "google chrome <3" tard reply: "well firefox 3 has a skin to look like chrome n shit, and it has a stumbleupon toolbar and custom scripts and provides a faster and overall better browsing experience" ...aside from the fact that they probably meant the skin that looks like chrome METAL, but saying it's faster and better is like saying "driving a sports car to the mall gets your shopping done faster and gives you a better selection at the stores". You're still going to the same Internet on the same ISP, goddammit... Plus, chrome is meant to get away from all those toolbars and cluttering crap. Simple and efficient, what's so hard about that? ... Of course, Internet explorer is noticeably suckier nomatter where I try it. What the he'll s Microsoft doing wrong with it? :raise:
