No Fun and Games
My peecee decided to stop doing complex 3D rendering on its own accord. The strike started yesterday night and despite extensive negotiations (reinstalling video drivers, Nortoning my peecee etc), the blue men in my CPU refused to resume work in the 3D department. That means no NBA Live 2003, no Dark Age of Camelot. No games, period.
Having recently switched to a Mac, I decided to explore my new platform’s gaming goodness. Went to Best Buy and browsed through the shelves. Blizzard aside, the rest of the game developers just seemed happy catering to the PC crowd. Undeterred by the taunts Biscotti sent me a few days ago (the Mac Gamer Switch Parody), I headed to MacGamer.com. I am almost convinced that the words “Mac” and “Gamer” aren’t meant to be strung together. Even my favourite gaming site Gamespot mocks me. The navigation for browsing by platform has PC, XBox, Gamecube, PS2 and Gameboy Advanced under it. It’s as if Macs live in a parallel universe as far as gaming is concerned.
Mac users out there, what on earth do you guys do to have fun? Guess I’ll drive around town with MacStumbler on and search for WiFi hotspots.
Groovy.

I was just wondering but how did u manage to get your web site to appear in the yahoo and google search engine. Whats the trick behind it. I'll like to find out as I'll like to get my web site listed too. ;) Thanks.
Well, I don't buy a lot of games. Mostly, I play games that are avaliable online. They are quite neat too.
I HIGHLY recommend this game: Escape Velocity. Think it's in its third iteration for the Mac. Thoroughly enjoyed the first iteration during my college days!
PC gamers have heart: This game will be ported over to the PC soon! muahaha!!!
Yeah I always thought Mac never had that many games. But if you're into graphics, Macs are cool.
