I remember growing up that there were some pretty cool games on the mac - Psychotic, Dark Castle, and a couple of other fun titles, but, then again, on my PC I was playing King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, and all the other way better titles.. hey, I think I'm on to something here...

Heh, they ripped that off at the end and put up their website name, asses.

Well I don't thing a Mac will ever be able to outperform a pc. No way, never, ain't gonna happen. Period.

But its cool because we can get a kick out of watching videos that make fun of them.

Games will never prevail on the mac...

However, video production is a hell of a lot easier on it than pc. It crashes a lot less.

I have another good one that's similar to that but I've got nowhere to upload it.

MACS are very good systems for design and production. When it comes to gaming, nuh uh.

My friend is a web designer at a good firm and they use MACS for all their production work.

Pretty ironic that it parodies Mac, and then uses their atrocious video format.

I hate Macs. Web design, graphic design, programming, video editing - I've had much better experiences on a PC than on a Mac. It crashes unpredictably, it freezes with nothing logical causing it, it's 100% proprietary, it's just horrible.

I don't know if I want to foul this laptop hard drive with QuickTime.

Speaking as a man with both a mac and a pc you are talking out of your ass there buddy. My mac crashes on average far less often than my pc, in either case the crashes are always unpredictable (otherwise they wouldn't be crashes). The difference is with the mac I phone apple and they are polite and nice and they fix it quick whereas witht my pc they give me the runaround and try to persuade me to but newer and more expensive shit to put inside.

I prefer macs to pcs, I am entirely proficient in both as I had for years macs at school and a pc at home, and it is only in the last few years that pcs have begun to approach the level of useability achieved for years beforehand on the mac. I don't want to go through lengthy procedures to delete something, or copy something to a disk or install something, to burn a disc etc. Also I don't want to buy a program only to find that I have the wrong soundcard or video card or whatever. If I buy a program I expect to put in the disk, intstall it and go, without having to go out and spend another 50 dollars on the right soundcard. With an apple if you do find a game (and it is hard) at least you know it will work no questions asked.

and yes I know mac users get the shaft as far as gaming goes and I don't care, I am happy with just wolfenstein (not the original,

the return one) as for everything else I have found the mac to at least equal and in most cases superior to the pc. If nothing else they are alot prettier

Um. Ok...

My PC - it doesn't crash. Period. There is no reason for my PC to crash, and therefore - it doesn't. Macs at school - you could be typing a paper, go to save and BAM. You're done - it's frozen.

If I want to burn a disk, I fire up Nero and burn my disk.
If I want to play a game, I check the system requirements and make sure I have a system capable of playing it. If I don't, I live without the game or I upgrade or tweak my system.
I built my computer, and the only time I have to call technical support is when I get a shitty Abit motherboard that I've had to RMA twice before getting one that worked for a while and then died.
I like the Windows environment 100x better than the Mac OSes.
I don't have instability. Period. On a Mac, I saved work every two lines becuase I know it was prone to lock-ups.
Finally, the reason games work no matter what on a Mac is becuase an Apple is communism in a box and only a few companies write software for it.

Mac OS is based on the BSD kernel. Its pretty damn stable.. pretty rare to find crashes there.

For video, audio, and all things multimedia, the Mac is the way to go. Sure, its a bit more expensive, but its definitely worth it when you have a good Mac.

Mac beat AMD to the 64 bit chip. Sure, their chips aren't as 'fast'.. but they don't need to be. They make up for it without a problem. Mac's aren't bad machines, very easy to use, and for the most part, stable.

There simply is no market for gaming on a Mac, hence, no games for it. I just found this funny.

However, use ones in a school environment and they crash more than a PC does. Ironic.
