I hate you Sombra. How can you continually eat so much of that stuff and not be HUUUUUUUUGE. I eat two spoonfuls and I can feel the weight settling on me :lol:

Anyway, on topic, ladies night tonight with some work friends (people I actually like) to celebrate one of them having a clean bill of health after treatment for breast cancer.... so COCKTAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Attack of the Show said they hit Bethesda(Elder Scrolls makers).

they;ve hit a lot of people, including AOL, At&T, Sony, FBI, Minecraft, EVE, Bethesda, Bioware, one of the Battlefield beta databases, the government of Arizona, the Escapist magazine, and the NATO Bookstore.

These are just off the top of my head, there's probably lots more.

D&D is pure awesome. We're using the pathfinder system and I'm playing an alchemist - among his talents he can make a number of bombs equal to his lvl + his Int bonus every day. Both me and the DM are treating him as a sapper (he's called Shrapnel) and we keep calling his bombs cussers. Last week I blew up a church housing a Malar cult (planted 10 cussers and set them off) and this week I did the Drum. Several in fact along a road and I got what was left of the Malar cult (a hundred thugs who had descended to the level of Khorne berserkers) to run after me on that road. Almost blew myself up but it worked. Did I mention I'm doing all this insanity in the middle of a city?

Oh and the DM told our party leader that he's going to become the villain. The guy said no way. Today both the guy and me came to the conclusion that the only way to stabilize the region is take over the region. heh.

The meaning of life is BOOM!!!

Got me a new iMac and it's awesomesauce! Only problem is that it makes the Malazan Empire skin really dark and strange and it hurts my eyes so I think I'm going to have to change the skin I use.

What is it that makes Macs bad for gaming, anyway? I'm setting up a virtual PC anyway, so I could run my games on that but I'd still be using Mac peripherals.

Hardware?
A virtual PC won't mean usable virtual processing power.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Get out! You can't be on the 'net and NOT realize why Macs are considered so horrible for gaming!

As Gothos said, the hardware is simply lower end. For the same price as a fancy new iMac, you literally get twice or greater the amount of power in a PC.

Now, thanks to the Heel Face Turn that Apple made when they adopted Intel processors and graphics card, the old incompatibility issues are not as prevalent as they once were - but up until recent years, say over the last five or six, Apple used to use different hardware entirely for their PCs, which led to a number of problems, especially for games, being unable to run on the machine, no matter the 'power' it had. This problem is still there in some ways due to the different architecture in the system, despite the hardware changes, leaving some games unusable to this day.

They're simply inferior for gaming, basically. Or you pay ridiculous prices for lower-than-top specs to be able to run modern games at decent rates, at least.

Basically, the only reason to buy a Mac is to look fancy when writing your book at the local Starbucks and the fancy design. Oh, and when your knowledge in computers is actually a negative value and you never want to learn. And when you want to pay half a healthy liver whenever any element of your machine goes bonkers and you're fine with giving it away each time for weeks to a service outlet. And when you never, ever want to upgrade anything in your machine. And...
