    Zero Punctuation: Inversion

    This is why I watch this show, in order to find out whether or not I'll like the games. Problem is, half the time I just don't buy the games he reviews and just pick up whatever cutesy XBLA game is cheapest. Like for instance, I'm playing Minecraft. And that's about it.

    Poll: How common is your name?

    I'm a 23-year-old woman named Royce Ellen. First of all, Royce is a boy's name, and traditionally meant "son of the king," like Rex is "king." Second, Ellen WAS a common name...like a while ago. So yeah. I am the only one with my name ever - I've googled it.

    What Is/Was your major and why?

    I'm a Fiction Major - one of about 500 - at Columbia College Chicago. I'm there because one, my family's run out of money, two I've got friends there, and three...well, okay, I just really like writing. I write sci-fi. I'm currently in a Fantasy class and am hoping to get into the sci-fi class...

    Poll: Are RPGs/regular video games "too good" for Macs? (MacBooks in particular?)

    Big thanks to everyone on this, believe me. And my roommate LOVES her Mac - and she desperately wants PC games for it. We'd go to this place by our college that had games and DVDs and stuff uber cheap, and she'd get a bunch of PC games and try to play them on her Mac. Some worked, some didn't...

    Poll: Are RPGs/regular video games "too good" for Macs? (MacBooks in particular?)

    The problem I have with this thing is that it's written by a person who was born and raised LONG before video games came about, and therefore he (and I'm sure many other people from that era and from before the sixties) don't honestly know the good and bad about video games - and they're not all...

    Poll: Are RPGs/regular video games "too good" for Macs? (MacBooks in particular?)

    I would prefer not to pay for it. Note to shatnershaman: My point here is, why have fantastic graphics and amazing processing power...and not have games? I got the Mac because I was so fed up with my other laptop (which got stolen, I might add, but who in their RIGHT MIND would steal a...

    Poll: Are RPGs/regular video games "too good" for Macs? (MacBooks in particular?)

    NO. Getting a PC for a Mac is not the point of getting a Mac. Getting an XP is not what I'm looking for, and I'm sure a bunch of other people would agree with me. I know a lot of people have said it, "Go get Boot Camp" - but that's just defining the problem here! This means that people can't...

    Poll: Are RPGs/regular video games "too good" for Macs? (MacBooks in particular?)

    Ha, as a reply to ceejf65, I do know what MacOS9 is. And it gives me the shivers. (Were we really THAT lame? I think I remember earlier versions as well! And how much they crashed! Ah, the good old elementary school Macs...) As another reply to Alex_P...well, it's sort of a mix of both...

    Poll: Are RPGs/regular video games "too good" for Macs? (MacBooks in particular?)

    Right, my problem is: the downloading for mmoRPGS. Not just MMOs. MMOs I've played a lot and yes, they're fun, they're just...well, they get boring after a while. And so do RPGs, but those take a bit longer. And more specifically I'm looking for a games that I can actually use on my Mac...

    Poll: Are RPGs/regular video games "too good" for Macs? (MacBooks in particular?)

    Okay, I do hear most of you, but since I'm female and I have only recently (i.e. in the past year and a half), I really don't want to compromise space using XP and I REALLY don't want to buy a subscription to something I don't think I'll play more than an hour a day, if that... Really, I just...

    Poll: Are RPGs/regular video games "too good" for Macs? (MacBooks in particular?)

    This is from a reader who owns a MacBook and is looking for a "free" RPG that she could play on said MacBook whenever she was bored. No, really, I am looking for an RPG that I can play on my Mac - preferably an online one. All of the ones I keep getting are either too big for my poor...
