[podgeyfinger]

[sabbaloko]

pwnage 4:12 :D

[BoneCrusher3333]

These are CD games right? Because If I remember clearly Macs have a huge Game Deficiency

[maiartheking]

can i play pc games on a mac?!?

[mysticalclown]

Please ATTENTION !!

Most Games for Mac are not with Native Code they running emulating Windows with wine or other ways.

--Examples? Prince of Persia , Spore, Freaky Creatures are just some examples.

-You can imagine what this means to the perfomance of those games.

-Companies must create Games with Native code for mac osx.

[mysticalclown]

To find out by your self just examine the contents of the dmg, by right clicking.

[musicalbacon2]

right clicking on a mac???!?!?!?!?!

just kidding, i just couldn't resist.

[mysticalclown]

Do you know that mighty mouse has serious problems with right clicking ? It can only click left or right it cant understand left and right clicking together so it has problems with most of games. For example WOW.

-Anyway i bought a logitech bluetooth mouse and im fine.

Anyway i bought the mac not for games.

[beaudjangles]

@musicalbacon2 i don't get it??

[kempyboi123]

@musicalbacon2 dude go take a long walk of a short cliff.

[TheLordstrider]

best answer i could think of is ...

its like lets say you have hand watch that you payed 100$ its digital glows in dark you can witch screen to watch movies you can use it as disk on key then you see some one with a hand Watch made of gold and Diamonds that cant do nothing but show what the time is its not even digital same with PC vs Mac (PC is that Digital watch and Gold watch is Mac)

[m0nkeyr0ach]

mac

games

lolwut

[MrLuvalover09]

Dude what the fuck is that guy talking about your absolutley right, all the celebs own macbooks, all the rich people own macs its common knowledge plus if you ever watch cribs every single one of them has a macbook or imac. even the presidents got one ffs !!

[eerriikk1000]

due not all rich people own macs im not rich

[MrLuvalover09]

well im not exactly rich myself and i own a mac, but mac is definitely the more expensive the more luxurious appealing more to the celebrity / business man type

[eerriikk1000]

true

[r0ckinOUTloud]

imm not rich either 

[richoboss22]

hey dude how do you write this apple...??

[therealMADgenius]

@eerriikk1000 you mean not all mac owners are rich, you idiot

[ibpointless2]

Heres something i don't get, if celebs own mac and these celebs are rich and the goal of a virus writer is to steal info about credit cards and such then why is there no mac VIRUS? Don't say its because of market share because not everyone has a lot of money it the minority of people who have plenty of money, so why is there no virus for a mac to steal there info.

Sorry this was just a little rant :-)

[MrLuvalover09]

yh i agree with you, mac is a hard system to crack so id start by buying linux and working your way from there :)

[ibpointless2]

lol :)

[urgedtaylor]

that guy sucked at guitar hero...

[HoboUsername]

Guys, this is why you play a fucking PS3/360/Wii.

[Krums15]

This is why I have a mac mini and a Dell Laptop

[EasternCalifornia]

this video makes me feel depressed, why can't i have good games? like hl2 on mac?

[TriangularFilms]

you can have hl2 on mac, look up isteam for mac on youtube.

[PowerPlanetTheGame]

this sucks.

thank god for bootcamp.

[Mastermmm222]

LOL

interviewer: 'have you played other golf games on the macintosh?'

gamer: 'uhhh. not for years I played golf on the wii and thats kinda a different experience."

interviewer: 'but, but hows the enjoyment factor on a scale of 1 to 10?'

gamer: 'id say its pretty good....the graphics are somewhat 1 dimensional/ 2 dimensional'

LOL holy shit macs blow ass

[MalevolentHarlequin]

LOL mac and games, good one.

[apenneukende]

you obviously don't know anything about mac...

[MalevolentHarlequin]

No, I do. I know it takes more time to program for a Mac and mac is about 3% of home computers in the world so the ONLY way to play most games on a Mac is to run windows, which defeats the purpose of owning a Mac.

[apenneukende]

it's true that mac has far less games then pc but even without bootcamp or cossover you cac choose from a wide variety of games. but with bootcamp you get both mac AND windows.

I agree that when you only want to play game on you computer you should get a pc but it'd not true that the mac doesn't do games at all.

[TriangularFilms]

Owning a mac isnt for little kids who want to play games. I use it for college film making, which has some of the best editing software in the world. Macs are pretty much used 90% in hollywood.

[william9545]

linux is used in hollywood more than anything.

almost nobody uses mac for anything

pcs are better and linux is best that is the way it is

[TriangularFilms]

if you think that then you are ignorant. My entire Art Institution i go to college at uses only mac that cost up to 10,000 dollars each with the amount of upgrades and features on it. By the way, if your only saying a pc is better than a mac because it can play games, get a life. Macs can play pc games too with isteam and crossover. Dont tell me what is better or what hollywood uses, im already in the film business.

[urgedtaylor]

ur a dumbass haha macs are used more than anything in hollywood...get ur facts straight dumbass

[william9545]

your not worth my time

don't reply again without something smart to say

OR CONTINUE TO BE RETARDED I DON'T CARE

[urgedtaylor]

sorry, i forgot im the retarded one, even tho im the one that knows what i am talking about.

[william9545]

plz tell me where you heard that macs are used more i would like to know

[urgedtaylor]

Look it up. Im not gunna waste my time searching for where i have read that for someone i dont give a shit about.

[william9545]

your full of it, you must know that too right i'm not alone here

[urgedtaylor]

alright william, haha, only queers name there kid william. anyways im not gunna waste my time commenting back after this.

[william9545]

here come the personal attacks

it doesn't make you anymore right you are still wrong

in fact it makes you seem even more stupid than being wrong would

[FuzzyA55]

holy shit a he'd rate it a 7...

[HuDeanee]

whats the first game?

[Laku23]

looks like Battlefield 2142isn't it?

[simon1234simon]

I love Macs altough they are waaay to expensive. And honestly if i would be gaming on a Mac. I'm saving money to get my Mac actually. And i'm gonna use it for gaming too. But honestly if you wanna a Mac gaming machine get a Mac Pro and use Boot Camp to get Windows running. You get very good preformance.

[Cathodestar]

MacPro's are really not built for gaming though.. You could get the same level of *gaming* performance from a PC for about $2000 less.

[dragonmustard2]

Thats true. The Mac Pro is for heaving processing and you dont really need that for gaming. Most important thing is a video card. The Mac Pro doesnt have much of a Video card for the price

[Eientatsu]

It's true if you want a computer mainly for gaming PC is the way to go. But if you use it for many other things Mac is often a better solution.

[jordler]

that game line up makes wii look amazing

[RainbowOfVegas96]

What is the first game in the video ? Pleae tell me..

Re Mikey: The first game is not World of Goo..

[XoXZachXoX]

what was the first game in the vid?

[athomenator]

battlefeild 2142

[TherapudicCaffeine]

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the Mac or anything . . . but this video is hilarious! I mean, the game lineup for the Mac is laughable! xD

I mean c'mon-- Golf? Some gay mermaid game? The Movies? I couldn't help but smile during this entire video. This should be put under comedy, really it should!

But like I said, the Mac itself is pretty cool. It's not Apple

s fault that there aren't many games for the Mac (well maybe a little, since they use OpenGL to render graphics) nor am I blaming them.

[illmagnified]

Gimme a break ya maybe Mac can run like 20 games out of the thousands of games out there- and how much is a freakin Graphics card for a Mac and then compare that SAME graphics card for the PC in price. The Geforce 6800 Ultra (which computer people know came out years ago and is old technology)- still goes for 500 bucks. Why on earth do Mac users pay this much for 7 year old technology? I dunno...

[Fontanilla636]

i have a question if ur playing like cod on mac and u play online do u still get to vs pc cod ownersÉ

[gokickrock]

yea

[ProfessorMacintosh]

Are you sure thats coming for Mac? Cause that would be awesome!

[Zabatsue]

what was the first game in the vid

[andyh230]

i think its one of the battlefield games, not sure

[calfan672]

I was there!!!!!

[DarkS3phiroth17]

all this game , are build for both platform, so u can run it native on ur mac, with or without windows, actually alot of game have been ported to osx, the video is outdate..

other solution is cider, or of course bootcamp.

[Omellykim]

-.- macs don't run those games their are using bootcamp so it all comes down to is it windows xp or osx

what do you consider a mac or a pc but its parts,case,or os is very confusing

i think its os its running on

[MacAndRick]

Read what you put.

'Macs don't run those games their are using bootcamp so it all come down to is it xp or osx.'

A mac is the computer no matter the OS that is how it performs playing that game as shown, so macs can game. Also there are many games that run natively on OSX.

Just a lil input

[Omellykim]

well the mac only has like 17 games and for a "mac gamer" thats not enough so thay turn to xp so .... and zzzz

[isokessu]

i think that most mac computers are not good enough to play those games in high quality settings. well maybe if it cost over 2000 dollars xD

[christakata]

Cross Over can only play a few window XP. And even those games still have a few bugs

[youdontknowme90]

Crossover...any windows game is now available for a pc

[hatae55]

crossover is mainly just halflife

[imnoobish]

can someone tell me a game i can play directly on my macbook pro, not using bootcamp or anything like that?

[kingdavecako]

2 best mac games EVER

1. World of Warcraft

2. Warcraft III

$-b

[mikeyLOLOL]

world of goo

[supermagicturkey]

what is the first game called?

[echeverc]

i hv a mac aquaria looked toooo crazy for me lool...no seriously they need to get us some real games this is disgraceful!...call of duty 4 though sweeet!

[Sumwun22]

I never realized how far Mac has come. Now they too can play 5 year old games for only 3x the price of pc's!

[FeldwebelWolfenstool]

...well..after only being able to jerk off on your MAC, between 2001 and 2008, PC'ers have been playing MoHAA, BF1942, BF2, etc. etc... It must be reeel exciting to be a MAC owner, even tho' you're AT LEAST seven years late to the party!

[Double00donut]

Now you can play any new pc game on a mac using bootcamp! Mac RULES!:P

[themangodess]

no.

[Hetmannnn]

Yeah turn your Mac into a expensive unupgradable PC by Bootcamping Windows OS ment for PC( It's easier and cheaper to buy PC ). Mac is not a gaming platform

[PenguinLord2]

not yet, but in a few years i am expecting more an more games out for mac....

Parallels alows you to run both OS allowing us OS X users to Run Xp and OSX at the same time so we can enjoy our awsome OS and your buggy games :-)

[timothiess]

Our buggy games? Most game's are not made by window's dumbass.

[karn33333]

these games are boring as hell.

[1godlessmonkey]

guitar hero is so fucking GAY!!!!!!!

[NaruAltamias]
