I agree, Myth is one of my favorite games of all time, especially the first one. I loved the map with the big pit in the center...I can't remember it's name...but that was the most fun map to play capture the flag on...just cuz the flag was in the center in the bottom of a big pit...go for it too early and get toasted by everyone else waiting around the perimiter for time to get low...the last minute everyone rushes in and usually the round is won in overtime....god that shit was fun...
Well I must say I completely agree with you! It is probably the only game I still play on my computer regularly (my PS2 has replaced it nicely for my gaming needs)
Perhaps you would care to play sometime? drop me a message or something. I got a CD-R full of just ActionQuake maps and stuff.
11 games? You are far more stupid than I thought! Must you have everything handed directly to you?Try this out for size. Sure there's obviously more PC games, but the fact remains that most of them are pure shit. Sorry, but I don't lose sleep at night over the inability to play poorly made games. Have you ever heard of Quality over Quantity? You probably don't understand that concept anyways... l4m3r
It's only flameworthy because most of the flamers:
A) Have been living in a cave the past 5 years and
B)Are extremely gullible.
The fact is there is a very healthy amount of games available for the Mac and these people are just too closed-minded to accept it. Sure there aren't as many games, but one thing you will notice is that the games that do get ported are usually the most popular and/or best games available. These are the kind of people who accept quantity over quality. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that applies to all Windows/PC users: they all prefer quantity over quality.
Guess what, not everyone is running Panther. They're not selling a faulty game if the person who buys it happens to be running 10.2 still. Granted it is a mess and it should be dealt with, I'm simply defending Apple's right to continue selling it. Perhaps they ought to warn people too...
Back in the day when I had the OS X Public Beta installed on my original rev. a bondi iMac a girlfriend of mine decided to play that game. She clicked everything in my dock and it looked kinda cool but crashed my system. OS X has come a long way since then...:)
You forgot about UT2003 and Halo for FPS. You forgot about Fallout 2 and Diablo 2 (yeah it's kinda old but it's still quite addicting especially with the expansion pack) in terms of RPG's...
All of the Quake series is available...they are growing old but are still no less playable...but I still play Quake2 as it is my favorite game of all time...nothing beats a good round of ActionQuake! (shush you Urban Terror zombies!) There's Unreal Tournament 2003, Halo as mentioned already, Ghost Recon, emulators for about any console you can think of (hint: go to www.emulation.net), Jedi Knight II, Jedi Academy, Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness, Age of Empires II, Civilization III, all of the Sims series, Sim City 4, Rainbow Six 3, Aliens vs Predator 1 & 2, Baldur's Gate series, Medal of Honor Allied Assault and Spearhead, the Myth Series (another one of my personal favorites), Neverwinter Nights, Everquest, Oni, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Starcraft (old but I doubt this game will ever die), Splinter Cell, Tony Hawk 2 3 & 4, X-Plane....And this was only a skimming of the more popular/newer games from the list on Apple's site... gee whiz guys there's really no games for Mac...Pull your heads out of your asses and take a look around.
Did you read the article??? It said it was the same chip... Quoted from the article: Three IBM-designed 64-bit microprocessors. The combined power of these chips means the Xbox Next will have more computing power than most personal computers. The chips are used in Apple Computer's high-end G5 PowerMac machines now.
It even said M$ is using G5's to develop prototype games... Quoted from article: Internally, Microsoft has begun developing game prototypes, and it is using G5 systems to do so.
Whoever modded the parent 'insightful' is retarded.
I bought my books like the day after classes started. I only have 3 classes and only needed 3 books. Went to the damn bookstore, paid $202! For 3 books! And one of them, my Honors Calculus 2 'book' was only $13 cuz it's just a cheap plasic bound stack of paper. My CompSci book was $86 and my Physics book was $93. Did I mention that I got a used copy of the Physics book? Today I got smart though, I went online and I found my CompSci book for only $49 shipped to my house, and my Physics book for only $63 shipped to my house. So I ordered them and promtly returned the ones I bought at my friendly campus bookstore. I saved $67! That just goes to show how bloated the prices are at least here. When it comes to selling your books back...well...i equate it with bending over and letting the university stick their proverbial cock up your ass just a bit farther. Last semester I just bought my books at the campus bookstore (not knowing better) and spent about $250. I got $47 back when I sold them. All my book buying is going to be online from now on unless it's something I can only get at the bookstore like my honors calc book was. For those of you who also need to buy textbooks, try BigWords.com. It searches a whole bunch of online book sellers and calculates the lowest possible price including shipping for you. I even got a promotion code from them to save an extra $5 on my CompSci book that I ordered from Barnes and Noble.
My honors calculus 2 book was only $13:)
That's cuz it was written by a prof here at UW-Milwaukee, so it's just a bunch of paper with cheap plastic binding, but I sure don't mind only having to pay $13:)
Yeah, actually I did, I wasn't talking about that, I was just responding to the parent's post where that guy said his battery only lasted 18 months... Perhaps you should take notice that there was a little talk about batteries in that thread (whether they were covered or not) and I just found it suprising that his battery only lasted 18 months whereas mine is about 2.5 years old and going strong... I never tried to link it to the original article in the first place so I don't know what in hell you're huffing about. I think you need to take some sort of anger management class or something, calm down. Have a little respect when you reply to posts rather than trying to make the person you are replying to look like an idiot. I dunno if you get off on that shit, but it's not cool. Take a fucking chill pill.
Yeah "dragging it around" more like just shoving the mouse into an extra pocket/whatever on your laptop case (you do have one, don't you? Or is that just too much extra baggage to be dragging around that it would cause a world of aggrevation. Do you, perchance, have a really short temper? Is it really making your life harder to carry around something that can fit in a pants pocket or an extra pocket on a carying case? I would think the benfits of having a real mouse would far outweigh nearly nonexistant inconvenience of carrying around an extra mouse. Also, if you get an optical mouse, you don't have to worry too much about having a surface...just about anything works except clear class...
One final note: Personally I like to carry things around rather than drag them around, my things wear out much more slowly.
Oh yeah it's a real "pain" to just get a mouse with a long enough cord and simply run the cord underneath the laptop...I have an iBook and an Apple Optical mouse to go with it...I thought it was a bit silly of themt o put the ports on the left side too when most people are right handed, but really I don't think twice about it anymore...it's not that difficult to deal with, you're making a big deal out of nothing.

Take your head out of the hole it's been stuck in (anyone care to speculate which hole?) and take a look at the real world.

That would be, well, silly... Why not just include space for it but only sell it as an option for poeple who want it? Kinda like the PS2...
Actually, you're wrong, the last one was 'leaked' too.
Who cares? Look at the Xbox and PS2...compared to PC's they were quite underpowered when they came out... because guess what...they're CONSOLES.
