my mac using friend bought a game...

[Wadded Beef]

He bought jedi knight academy for $50, and a gamepad controller(?!) for $30. He tried it for a day then told me how he hates computer games and computer gamers are stupid etc... and yes he tried to play a fps type game with a controller.

i tried explaining that you need to use the keyboard and mouse, but he couldn't fathom using anything but a gamepad... his reasoning is that "i don't like the keyboard" lol

I think he was getting at the fact that Mac users are not gamers...

He paid $50 for a game that came out almost 2 years ago...what an impulsive idiot!

my mac using friend is the subject of my post...

Gaming on a Mac was the 1st mistake. I love my PB but I'd never buy a game for it.

LoL, Awesome

Best joke of the day by far.

I don't think Key/Mouse would be as good for Mac users any way. Sure the WASD is the same, but its going to be a lot harder with one mouse button. Next he needs an mx510

 

[Wadded Beef]

and it's an imac he's using, it probably got a pretty bad fps rate

 

[Wadded Beef]

and the weirdest thing is that he isn't into star wars at all...he's really impulsive with money

I only recently starting using wasd. before that I prefered the arrow keys and before that I used a controller. I used a controller for Serious Sam:First Edition and loved it.

I think I agree. I tried presenting my MACE entertainment system to a mac forum and they started to tell me I was cheapening an already great mac-mini by taking out the bluetooth and dvi... It's like they missed the whole point to a gaming console...

Mac's have supported two-button mouses for a long time now.

Yup. It would using a modified osx kernel, but XBox runs a modified nt kernel, same premise.

Leave the Bluetooth in for wireless controllers with no ugly dongles, and DVI for bitchin' connectivity to HDTVs.

I certainly like the concept and page design. Apple tried hit you with a C&D yet?
