Im actually curious of another aspect here, 'If' a game is available on all 3 how does it run in comparision if all 3 machines have the same hardware? what one actually produces the best frames per second, offers better effects and whatnot?
Sorry but reading up on all this about the game will be on both just made me wonder, although i do imagine you can only really do a proper comparision between running a game on windows and running it natively on linux, as the mac obviously comes with its own hardware and i admittedly dont have a clue on how it differs to a windows/linux pc.
Same Here, but i managed to go one further and even got the school to endorse it! made a level of my school in doom for red nose day, and held a Doomathon, in which you got 5 mins to go out and kill a friend as many times as possible, only managed 2 player deathmatches though as we only had serial cables which was kinda annoying.
But back to the original story, We had this level full in your face with blood everywhere and we never got told off or had any complaints, we actually had the teacher supervising us playing a couple of matches and he loved it.
That was a good day, got to play lots of doom while i should have been in class, Thinking back i cant believe they let me and my mates do it, only managed to raise about 40 quid in the end though.
guess i must really be the odd one out then, i found the noise soothing in a way, not annoying in the slightest, although same cant be said for my cat though!
