The (Geekier) Odd Couple - the Gamer and the Mac

So my old PC was one of the many casualties of The week my everything broke, and in the name of more artistic endeavors, I bought a MacBook. 


I guess this makes me an exclusively console gamer, which I’m Ok with. I’ve nearly replaced my entire PC game collection with console versions. I even found a PS2 version of Deus Ex. Now I’m just missing Bioshock and Unreal Tournament III, the latter of which I didn’t play much anyway but it could be fun once I get more into Xbox LIVE. I did notice that Oblivion took a massive graphical downgrade from PC to 360, but that’s probably not a fair criticism considering my old graphics card weighed more than my new laptop.

The only upcoming non-console title that I could be convinced to give a shit about is Diablo III, and Blizzard have a long history of catering to a turtle-necked mac crowd who game when nobody’s watching.

I’m not sure if I’ve lost or gained artistic cred, as there was something gritty and underground about editing comics on a desktop PC with pirated software.
