This has happened to me lately. Large chunks of time to play video games, and I don't end up playing. Life just presents a lot of responsibility, but also a lot of other really interesting things to look into.

The next generation of games is not really solidified yet, so basing your argument on a casual game that's a couple years old doesn't help at all.

Wow, this is almost EXACTLY how it happened for me. Though my parents made me practice the piano as part of the deal when they bought the game. AND my copy was eventually stolen/lost. So I'd LOVE to see it come onto the virtual console. I'd probably buy a Wii U just to support the game.

Yeah, that wouldn't be too bad if done well.

^_^ Well, the discussion here isn't even about the Mac OS you refer to. It's really about iOS as a gaming platform, and how that platform will be used in the livingroom. And last I checked, some pretty major publishers have been starting to push iOS launches lately. So while it doesn't compete with PC gaming directly,…

I actually have to agree with Gabe, but not because Apple is actively competing. But because they have incredible potential for it.

I don't mind a touch device in front of me, on my desk surface, but I hate using vertical displays as touch screens. I like my monitors to be at eye level and at a comfortable distance away from me, and that makes touch interfaces pretty pointless.

When you think about what you've written here, its actually a bit discriminatory.

Technically, there was the Panasonic Q, which created a lot of confusion for some people. Maybe your friend saw one of those?

Even if people are drawn to the song, there is no reason why they would know Jonathan Coulton created this particular arrangement. They'll just go, "Awesome, I loved Glee's version of Baby Got Back! I'm gonna buy it on iTunes!" and that will be the end of it. The exposure literally stops there. That's what really…

Well, Coulton's changes to the lyrics were minor, but he certainly did a lot more than minor changes to create the song he sang those lyrics to :P

No, I am not crazy. Take out Sir Mix a Lot's lyrics, and you literally have a new song. Obviously, it was meant to be a cover, but the work he put into it is nothing short of the amount of work a song writer would put into a full instrumental piece.

Why would anybody ever go out and get his song? Fox has done nothing to let people know who they took the song from. Everybody is just going to go to iTunes and buy Glee's versions of a song Jonathan Coulton essentially wrote, giving Fox more money, and leaving Coulton with absolutely nothing for it.

So, what did you do to be able to get such a solid setup? Any tips you could give me?

I have heard something about this, but haven't looked into the details. This allows the system to run updates without breaking the OS? Or does this inhibit the update process?

I wish there were a way to setup a hackintosh that was basically bulletproof when it came to updates. It's fun for me to setup the things for myself, but I have family that really wants an upgrade to their old Mac Pros, and I can't recommend this to them because I KNOW they would eventually end up breaking the system.

I've always pointed out to people who have asked me about hackintosh builds that the main point of building a hackintosh is the fun of building a hackintosh. Maintaining it is part of the fun.

The Mac Pro is a pretty antiquated little machine. Apple has been neglecting its desktop line, and the cost of the CustomMac Pro is what it is because it is using MUCH more modern hardware.

It looks like the game has the modern stuff where it needs it, and keeps what SHOULD be kept. I'm sick of everybody feeling like EVERY LAST MECHANIC eventually needs to be overhauled to make a game modern.
