I love my Mac to death, it's my computer of choice and OS X is the cat's ass as far as I'm concerned. But I came to the realization that it's just not a games machine.

Sure, games would run fine on it, just no one is developing for it. It's Xbox 360 time for me. It's been out for 2 years and that's about the time that a console really hits it's stride.

will it have a linux version?

bhahahahaha

Great! I loved Rush in Rio and I heard they're coming out with a new CD this summer!

That's all fine and good about GW...but wouldn't it be even better if they had 20 or 40 man battlegrounds too instead of just the arena play?

Also, WoW is flirting with the idea of special pre-made characters that are all fitted with the same tier-3 armor and weapons like they sometimes have on the test servers. That makes PvP very interesting as everyone is twinked to the nines so no one really has an advantage over anyone else.

I don't see how the PvP in WoW is shit compared to Guild Wars. I played the original Guild Wars and basically it was just arena play on a small map. How does that in ANY way compare to a big 40 man map like Alteric Valley or even Arathi Basin. They're a lot of fun. Well...fun for the Horde since they almost always slaughter the Alliance.

Do the expansions in Guild Wars (which I never bought) bring in big maps with 15 or 40 man maps? Or is it still just 5 man little teams? Ok, how is that better than WoW's battlegrounds?

And with this patch, 2x2, 3x3 and 5x5 teams can compete in arena play in WoW now. Sure, it's copying Guild Wars...but when is Guild Wars going to copy WoW with the big Battlegrounds (or have they yet? again, I don't know).

I'm waiting for the expansion that turns everything back to the way it was before the re-vamp...and pretends everything was a horrible horrible dream when my old creature handler wakes up.

I would say just stay away from the newbie areas for the new races and the outlands, at least for a few days.

Now we get to hear for the next 5 or 6 years all the people that saying "I use XP. XP is great. What, this game won't install on XP? Why no XP support for this? XP was the greatest OS to come from Microsoft"

The XP people will now overtake the Windows 2000 people in the signal-to-noise whine.

The game isn't necessarily horrible

That should be their tag-line on the game box! It's a great selling point! "Buy BF 2142...it isn't necessarily horrible!"

Selling computers like that...sure you had one of the best quarters EVER recently...so what that you're actually gaining market-share with your hardware. What counts is Gartner says that you're basically can't sustain this.

Apple is dying....any...day...now...for the past 25 years.

I saw the other demo, but what I can't understand is where is all the eye candy? Frankly, it looks just like FS 9: a century of flight.

Is it because it will need DirectX 10?

Don't waste your time on this. I installed it and the only servers that I could find were either DM/TDM or CTF. OK, that's all fine and everything...but the death-nell for me was that it was only 16 person servers up. 16 people? I haven't played a game with only 16 people in years. Give us at least 32 man servers. The more the merrier when it comes to FPS multiplayer.

If 16 man servers are fine with you, then you may like it. I didn't.

Is this the patch where they fix all the asshats that play the game?

A list of anything gets released and people start arguing on what should and shouldn't be on the list. SHOCKING! UNBELIEVABLE! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN?!?!

I haven't gotten done with Zork yet. I'm stuck at the mailbox part....

What amazes me is people like Malakai (whos points were pretty weak really) keep watching the show.

Also, I dislike people like Malakai that thrive only on putting down popular things to make it appear they are "above it all". It's a fricken TV show. Either you watch it or you don't care. What difference does it make?

Yeah Malakai, you're SO much better than those loser people that watch Lost. How great you must be! Oh wait, you watch it also! OH NOES!

I DON'T CARE ABOUT __________(insert popular game that still is being played today...like Counterstrike or Day of Defeat). You fire up the game and then it's the same thing over and over again. There are people out there doing nothing but play _______ over and over again, get a life.

They should scrap plans on making this a live-action film and instead use the same team that makes the cinematics for Blizzards games.

I thought it was a great game and all, but every single time I ever tried to play it, there were no servers that had more than 2 or 3 people on them. It was a ghost-town. Same with the free version of Red Orchestra.

Speaking of Red Orchestra, are they getting more people playing the Steam version? I'd go back and play it again if more people played...but again, when you only have 3 or 4 people on a server playing, it's just not worth it.

So Phil Spector and Kobe Bryant are in cahoots with the government? Interesting....

I remember when I was growing up my grandfather was out pheasant hunting and he accidentally shot his partner in the foot with birdshot out of a 20 gauge. The county sheriff came out and they filled out a report, but my grandfather "walked away from it". Guess he could do anything he pleased too. Or maybe my grandfather was a member of the Illuminati!

As far as us seeing the evidence, that's usually something physical. Evidence isn't something like "he was charged with Rape and the woman gave up the case....so that's evidence". Um...no, not quite. Mike Tyson was also a HUGE money maker...himself and all the bookies making big money on his fights. Yet he didn't seem to "walk away from it". Maybe you have a conspiracy about that too?

Also, in case anyone hasn't actually read the book: even in the book itself it cites Holy Blood, Holy Grail as almost saying "if you'd like to learn more about this theory, refer to this other book". In fact, I hadn't even heard of this other book until I read The DaVinci Code, which was way before this lawsuit. So I read The DaVinci Code then went out to get Holy Blood, Holy Grail afterwards to follow up on it...per the recommendation of TDC. So really, I can't see these guys suing Dan Brown over this when I'm sure they got other people buying their book afterwards also. I mean, come on.

I was so looking forward to playing this too. I was so looking forward to playing "Silent Hunter III" also.

But they might as well be written for another computer system as far as I'm concerned. As long as they have Starforce with them, then I can't use them on my computer.

Heck, I'd even be willing to pay extra for a non-Starforce infected version. Perhaps that will be the wave of the future for them, have a regular version with Starforce, and if you want a non-virus infected version, you pay extra.

Not sure if boycotting them would work either, as they would just see a dip in their sales and say "PC games are dying", being the clueless assholes they are. Either that or there won't be any dip in sales and people will still buy it (like the mocking guys above), then wonder why they're computer is sluggish and they're DVD's no longer play, but instead blaming it on Microsoft or whoever...being that they themselves are also clueless assholes.
