[xzerox154]

[ToxHoop]

der beste Kauf meines Lebens

danke afropick ;)

(auch wenn dus mir mal widder angedreht hast :D )

[nujabe]

im getting a mac book the newest one so cant wait .

[acidnano]

are you using mouse?

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

This was made in BC: before call of duty

Games were simpler back then, games could run on laptops, but no longer

[DefensesDown]

this vid was uploaded in 06 :o

lmao

[afropick90]

@DefensesDown :)

[kookieless]

@DefensesDown good job u can read

[sazkwatch]

do i have to go buy the windows software to work my bootcamp? or can i download it somewhere.. cause their some games i want to play..

[TrillTalk89]

download, but you have to put it on a disc

[v4n6o5]

lolz laggy css noob get a new laptop imac SUX!!

[AtheistLurker]

....Why the fuck are you even here? Go watch a fucking windows video dumbass. It seems windows can't stand on its own two feet without asshats like you going on the offensive.

[simonhurst0707]

This isnt an imac

[Bbgood299]

@simonhurst0707 Uh Nah Shit It's a MacBook

[msjones85]

Hows the issues? I have just got a mid 2009 macbook and want to run bootcamp for left 4 dead. Last macbook I had bootcamp killed it with heat.

[born2kill08]

hey is the macbook white 09 worth buying ?

[lukapostmyr]

buy a macbook pro

[dmc040]

yup its the same as the pro but without the aluminium, its also got the ddr3 ram and 9400m

[Mrmonk9]

It is so cool how Mac has done this for their operating systems! I have been using Mac for all my life, but one of the downfalls of being a gamer and owning a mac is that I don't have a wide selection of games to play! Now I can. Yaaay for apple!

[ickomusic]

can you play WoW on the ordinary macbook(the white)?

[Mrmonk9]

I could play it on the ordinary desktop, but im not sure about ordinary macbook...you mean the one with out the camera?

[ickomusic]

not the macbook pro, not the air, the white macbook..

[Mrmonk9]

yes i know, the white macbook has a camera in it haha.

the old gen idk, the new gen does.

[CHAMILLIONAIRE6]

You can play WoW on a piece of paper. i used to raid and PVP on my netbook :P

[ickomusic]

lol i got a new laptop now...and i dont want to play wow on it :D

[lildaviid923]

the new macbooks are the shitt i want one . and ill put bootcamp on it for windows games :]

i cant wait till i save up

[born2kill08]

witch one the white one ?

[Zigazgman1]

Isn't bootcamp a contraidiction on switching to a mac? i mean why not just buy a PC? Save yourself some money.

[ref1ex]

Maybe there are games/programs that are not available to Mac. It's nice to switch back and forth when you see fit.

反射

[russiancoconut]

uh no. Most people buy mac for art stuff and mac osx is really better for 3d max, and adobe.

[arlonyny]

isn't 3d max for mac

[captainclayman]

if half life 2 runs do you think team fortress will work alright?

[KoolA1d]

yes, i have a macbookpro with bootcampl.

You can run any game as long as your specs are fine. Well theres probably some exceptions.

I havent encountered one and ive played most games, including team fortress.

Also crysis, farcry 2, the new crysis, and way more.

I have seen some mesups with bootcamp. Me, a huge windows gamer, who owns a macbook pro, would reccomend just staying with windows, it isnt worth it.

[jacksonpeter]

it looked like HL2 was running alright? did it have a good frame rate? how bad was cs:s? because thats really the only game i want

[joetommany]

hey if you check out one of my vids, its cs:s running the graphics test under osx, i can only imagine running it in bootcamp is tons faster. garys mod and all them work too.

hope this helps

white macbook, 2.2ghz, 120gb hdd, 4Gb ram.

joe

[jchrist103]

how about warhammer AoR

[lolol00l]

what are the specs!? PLease tell me

[uhjlo]

sehr nice benni^^ 38k views!

cya

[afropick90]

wer bist du ?

[bluekavora]

is this the macbook air?

[afropick90]

nope.

[Manmeetthebadboy]

@bluekavora nope, Its macbook, Love it

[drucejnr]

hey, im trying to install NFSU2 but i cant seem to get the 2nd disc to install, can you help me since you've done it, oh and by the way, ive got crossover so im half way there!

[afropick90]

afaicr i had no problems with installing nfsu2 via bootcamp.

[bruinsown85]

is this the norm 13" macbook or the 15" pro?

[afropick90]

There was never a white MBP, so it can only be the MacBook.

[teckon1XS1CHT]

but die old one :) the new mac books are out ;)

[afropick90]

Download & install via Steam! Of course you have to buy a license key of cs.

[Pimpinvids531]

what is the name of the first song? its off the hook!

[augustochamo]

Counter Strike dosn't run very well in a Macbook neither in the fastest macbook core 2 duo 2.4 2GB Ram... if u insist with macbook wait until apple finally will sell a good low price notebook.... until that I prefer a PC laptop that runs anything at lest than 800 dollars... why apple has too high prices? I don't like that, sucks

[alleggheads]

then do u have it on a cd or download

[Tpsp200]

thats not true, i play tf2 fine on my mac book.

[pepsipopup]

me too.

But I want orange box ( I only have tf2)

[Eightballlsss]

can it play rollercoaster tycoon 3?

[killervalonz]

That requires NOTHING completly easy running game... ya it should

[JordanxIbanez]

I play RCT 3 on my macbook, no bootcamp required.

[isafos]

Wow, quick fingers in the reflection at the start. Nice.

[afropick90]

Hehe :)

[nurplezapper]

Do you think Macbook will be able to run Spore?

My specs:

2.2 GHZ core 2 duo

2 GB RAM

GMA X3100

[afropick90]

Sorry, don't know,

[Eggyrocks1]

Yes, you will.

[marki9997]

lol no more "oh no macs cant play games waaaaaa"

[32371]

Love bootcamp, been running gears of war on my macbook pro works soooo well

[abdulla96]

How do you think CSS will run on my Macbook with 2GB of RAM and 2.4ghz, and an Intel GMA X3100?

[afropick90]

Sure.

[liamc3000]

it will run even better than this macbook does

[rkukentertainment]

new macbooks have Intel GMA X3100 graphics 144MB graphics shared, quite capable of many games cross-platform

[rkukentertainment]

capable of DirectX 10 as well

[andyschannel17]

Does shared video memory mean it also uses the computer's ram for video memory also (sorry if I sound stupid, I don't know anything about video cards)

And didn't the previous version of the MacBook only have 64 MB of video ram?

[rkukentertainment]

yeah something like that yeh, the previous did have 64MB, and yes they do utilise the RAM rather than dedicated graphics memory, thats what all built-in graphics does, unlike MacBook Pro which has an actual graphics card that can be replaced the MacBook has a shared one built in, unreplaceable or upgradeable, but it should be able to take any game requiring 128MB graphics or lower! Maybe Apple will upgrade this in future models who knows!

[FunkmasterCatking]

NICE!!!

Okay I am so getting a Macbook now.

Thank you! This is what I've been looking for!

(and the fps you were getting on C:SS is better than what I'm used to anyway)

[Genuflect]

Danko and Kyuss in the same video. Nice!

[Prime1153]

What are the specs on this computer?

[afropick90]

Look at the outro...

[DJIIILBS]

DUDE MACS RUN CS 1.6 that games way to demanding for my comp

[cornflaker]

I couldn't help but notice that CSS ran really badly... I guess the new macbooks would be a bit better though and you can always turn down the settings

[blicksflicks]

Wow, why do you need a PC now?  Dang, Macs play all PC games. What's the use in buying a PC when Macs have been resale value? Man, PCs suck!

[ratkins0687]

What are the specs on the macbook featured in this video? I know that the video was posted in October 2006, so the hardware is quite a bit older, however, these games seem to run pretty well with just the integrated graphics card.

[afropick90]

it's the same hardware as said in the outro...

[ericuccia92]

ok it's no problem, thank you so much again for all the info!! i can't wait to be playing some gta/pes on the macbook!

[ericuccia92]

oh and i hate to bother you again but is there anyway you could post a little video of pes 2008 gameplay?

[afropick90]

no sorry, no time ...

just google around a bit or belive, what i said about the gameplay.

[ericuccia92]

omg thank you so much! that is great news because those are just about the only two games i'll want to casually play once i get my macbook! i definitely have no doubts about the macbook now! thanks again. ciao!

[ericuccia92]

have you tried any of the newer soccer games? like fifa08 or pes 2008? and any gta?

[afropick90]

I tried PES2008 which runs perfect. There is an inofficial (Cider) version of GTA San Andreas for Mac, which runs perfect as well. Just google around a bit...

But GTA should actually also run smooth under Boot Camp.

[Lockerhaxor]

So if this is an older Macbook do you think this sort of thing would run well on a new Macbook?

[afropick90]

i don't know, if _well_, but they definitely run better.

[blicksflicks]

Locker, it would run awesome on my 2.4 GHZ Macbook Pro. Dude, I just got 2 more years on my warranty, and it can do the job with PC games or Apple games. They all run on mine. It works fine. Just like it's a PC, man. It's about time for everyone to buy a Mac. With the advent of Vista and all, it just doesn't make since to own a PC anymore.

[r3n0z]

you do realize that not everybody has a few grand to drop on a mac? That's why macs still don't have a majority of the PC market and the fact that there isn't many games designed to run natively on OS X.

macs really don't make much sense, since the power to price ratio for a mac is way lower than the ratio for PCs

now having that all said, i'm buying a macbook pro within the next few months, because OS X is fucking sexy and i need a new laptop that doesn't suck

[blicksflicks]

r3noz, that's not true at all. If you compare the same hardware power in a Mac to a PC, you'll usually come within $200 of the same price. Sure do.

[blicksflicks]

Good thing you're buying a Macbook Pro. That's what I have. It's way better than any PC laptop. I run XP and OS X on it. It rocks. I've had it for a year, and haven't had a single problem of huge proportions. No virus, no adware, nothing... you'll love your Macbook. Very nice. :)

[cornflaker]

"now having that all said, i'm buying a macbook pro within the next few months, because OS X is fucking sexy and i need a new laptop that doesn't suck"

Damn straight, the macbook pro itself is dman sexy too.

[blicksflicks]

cornflaker, yeah, it sure is sexy. I am thrilled to have mine. :)

[ericuccia92]

have you played any recent soccer games on it? if not, overall would you say that games are playable on it?

[k1ngkung6]

why does half-life 2 work fine buy cs:source is so laggy?

[davii17]

hey are you using an external mouse/keyboard...cuz like on half life...how do you compensate for no Num pad?

[afropick90]

the numpad - for what use?

in the video i used the integrated keyboard and an external mouse.

[davii17]

ok...what about using the "0" button to reload and the "1" button to pick up/use items?

[fr0stm0nkey]

hit r to reload and e to use stuff. I've never used a num pad before on CS...weird.

[thekingdor]

is this the standard macbook white or did u upgrade it?

[afropick90]

it's the "old" (GMA945) 1.83GHz MacBook in white, with 2GB Ram upgrade

[thekingdor]

ah ok awesome, danke fur the quick reply

[kaiheller]

It´s german

[hiuwo]

i want to ask something.

your halflife 2 is someelse language...

and i cant get halflife 2 work properly,

you know crash at save points and something like that..

is language pack the key that you make it work properly?

or that language package use the old engine?

[afropick90]

Yes, sure.

[haloplayerx]

lagness on counterstrike:source

[bobalinapee]

nice vid but its just a little hard to see

[mckman31]

Lol when you can see your head it looks your headbanging to the music! I wish i had money to buy windows, i just used my friends XP disc when he wasnt looking and it gave me a 30 day trial to activate it

[afropick90]

yes it's me checking the camera display between my arms^^

[cartmandude14]

CS:S works a lot better using crossover, some levels, like texture city are flawless

[afropick90]

I used Boot Camp o.O

[hupo]

Hes a moron dont pay attention to him.

[afropick90]

Yeah I think so :/

[RoulettemanP]

its not free because u still have to buy the windows CD

[spells14]

it is free, it does all the drivers and everything for you, so yea, its free..

[WARP10CK]

yeah because getting a windows cd is hard most people with computers will have one friend or family

[mckman31]

Not free. We have to buy Windows. Mac os is no where near horrid, windows is horrid its just apple never bothers to get into the gaming industry.

[PillarOfAutumnNET]

Yea because Apple doesn't give two shits for gaming. They make there computers to do it all. I hate Windows so much its not evan funny. Especially the Windows users that think Windows is better. Its not so drop it.

[firestormcomputers]

they both have strong points anyone who thinks one is dominate is especially retarded

[SouthernUK]

Yup, this is the truth. As long as you identify those strengths and weaknesses and use both of them properly, they are a powerful team to use to get things done.

[kipchak]

well obviosly PC's dominate, marketshare tells us so.

[noel4140]

cs s is soo laggy i downloaded a non-steam. it just was soo hard

[an4rew]

its not that bad as the macbook is only a 13'' screen some games look decent for what it really is a gma950 with shared graphics.

[lolol00l]

can you help me i just bought half life episode 1 and the games load but in menu it stops i dont understand

[afropick90]

Hm, it was such a long time ago, since I played HL2/CS:S.

Just Google a bit around, afaicr that were just a few start-options in steam to make it run smoother.

[Mangaroot]

is this xp or vista? and how did u find cs normal?

[afropick90]

It was Win XP.

What do you mean with "how did you find cs normal"?

[zomgvideosX9999]

dude counter strike 1 is still buy able through steam or maybe google it

[Cheesepuff0005]

bad graphics or is that the camera for counter strike?

[afropick90]

Don't care about this.

It's the cheap camera^^

[Liamki]

Your CS:S looks a bit laggy. Are you using the -dxlevel7 or whatever it is thingy?

=]

[afropick90]

Yes, it WAS laggy ;)

I wrote that in the end.

Actually I used no special settings.

[GenCollado]

The new MacBooks Pros have GeForce 8600 GM cards which will get even better when Leopard comes out.

[alexjamesdavis0303]

hey i have a macbook aswell and ive lately been playin games such as halo and quake 3, anyways my macbook gets flipping hot does your aswell?

[silvasoccer]

hey great vid...to keep your macbook even cooler try this: macupdate(dot)com/info(dot)php­/id/23049

it's called smcfancontrol...meaning u can control how fast ur fan can run to make it even cooler (make it run faster than wut ur computer limits it to)

[silvasoccer]

Lol i can't really tell you since I'm getting mine next week but I used to own a iBook G4, and i'll tell you this. every notebook will get hot but with that program that allows you to control the fan it will never get hot again trust me. :D

[cerion44]

can someone please asnwer this, i thought that the macbook didnt have a very good graphix card and CS needs Directx 7 to play and only 256 mb of ram, so how does a macbook paly it i mean it has more then enough ram so why do u need 2 GB of ram? and how does it support those graphics with a bad graphics card with virtually no lag? (sorry if that made no sense)

[OttoKugelfang]

well, you should have played pro evo soccer/winning eleven instead of fifa, but beside of this I really look forward to buy my macbook soon

[Nintencrow]

Hey! Which MacBook was this? The middle specced white one? Or the Pro?

[afropick90]

It is the "cheapest" MacBook (not Pro) from August 2006. (1.83GHz CoreDuo)

[Nintencrow]

Holy cramp... I'm getting the 2Ghz black one, YAY! I can play my games! :D

[afropick90]

Yeah, you just need 2GB of Ram.

[DarkxLinkEX]

what is bootcamp? xD

[afropick90]

Search at Wikipedia ;)

[saftelskeren]

it has sort of, but you need direct x or smthng on guild wars, i dont know if u have to use that on wow though....

[saftelskeren]

can you use Guild wars on a mac?

[afropick90]

Dunno.

(Has Guildwars the same engine/requirements as World of Warcraft ? Because WoW runs perfectly.)

[Zwhaler]

surprisingly nice for such a low end card. I bet the x1600 handles this beautifully in my iMac. It sure does in OS X, probably more in XP.

[eckndu]

euh.. did you just can't goal so you put ball into your own net?

i like your faskforward tho

[afropick90]

No, that was the other team ^^

[xmidt]

Very nice movie. It really demonstrates what you can do with bootcamp. Can you tell me if you're using an intel 950 or a ATI x1600

Thanks

[afropick90]

I'm using an Intel GMA950.

[magicaldave]

Was cs:s laging cuz it was running ona mac or were you just on a laggy server?

[afropick90]

I don't know! It's very strange that HL2 runs perfect and CS:S so bad.

[Blackwaterdesigns]

no, cs:s was running bad because it can't run anythis larger than iceworld.

[PAC0TAC0]

what is your macbook speficatations

[TheConsiderateOne]

Did you have to download any drivers to get theses games to work?

[afropick90]

No, nothing.

[Olavdinho]

Did you have the MacSafe connected during the playing?

Nice video btw. I am going to buy me a MacBook by soon. Do you recommend it?

[bassy369]

Hey! I just want to ask how you got that to fit on youtube cause that couldn't have been under 100mb? Can you tell me how to make that kind of a video fit? I also have a Macbook so this would really help. Thanx!

[afropick90]

I made it with iMovie - also the Export (but afaik you need QT Pro to export videos).

The format is MPEG4, it helps aswell to turn the Bitrate down (~500-700kbps should be enough).

But as you said you have got a Mac, I can also suggest you the Software "iSquint" - it's Freeware and very easy to handle. There you set "Convert for iPod" and "Use H.264". Try this, if it doesn't work, just contact me.

[Scarfacefe]

hi there i dont know much information about macbook,so i wanna ask a question "Do you play this games on MAC OS X or Windows xp?" very good video btw.

[afropick90]

BootCamp means that you install WinXP on a Mac.

[Bogel91]

Now, could someone explain this to me, looking at the mac site, the laptop it self already cost 1100$. Ok, now tell me, what is the point of having both operatings systems? The mac os is only good for listen to music and browsing internet? Please explain.

[afropick90]

WTF? Who says that Macs are only good for music and internet ?? You just don't know ... I boot 90% with OS X, it's much greater than M$ Windows. I only installed BC for playing my old games.

[Bogel91]

So tell me what do you do on a mac.

[peletheking]

i am a complete windows fan and have never owned a mac... you asked why us Mac OSX well two words - NO VIRUSES!!!!

[Bogel91]

I still dont have viruses with 2 programs, Zone Alarm Pro, and some random anti virus, i will look later for the name when i do my scan...

[afropick90]

what IS anti-virus-software ?

;)

[mandrake3k]

Nice.

[Cudeater313]

dude its HDD For (Hardrive) Not And I Reeat NOT HD That stands for (High Definition)

[123456happy]

fifa game runs smooth

[darkstar8686]

whats that song its mint

[Xxaj421xX]

wtf how come counter strike runs slow and half life runs fine

[afropick90]

That's the question - I don't know...

[Xxaj421xX]

u own in 1.6 must get macbook

[dendemeier2]

is that the macbook with an intel core duo or with an intel core 2 duo?
