@superberg: Well put.

@yonyz: First off, Windows is expensive (about $150 for home edition). That's a lot for just making some games compatible.

@Ravennl: I believe that their backlog will be compatible around the same time that Steam is, so Mac users will be able to catch up on all of the Valve games.

@Variatas: I recall seeing something about how their reputation for top-of-the-line graphics has actually hurt them because of the perception that it will only work on the most powerful rigs. It's too bad that they got burned for that when it's not the case.

@HiroFORCE1: I can't claim to know enough on the topic to debate you on the philosophy of happiness. Bringing the topic back down to earth, I think if someone's happy with what they've purchased, then that's as good of indicator as any that the product meets their needs.

@Steven Kho: OK. Who can argue with that level of objective reasoning?

@HiroFORCE1: Their strength as in what they do best internally, it wasn't a ranking between companies.

@Chase Evans: I said "will" as in they are going in that direction. Their last round of computers was the first time they even mentioned the graphics cards as features and acknowledged gaming. I think they will continue to go more in that direction.

@RenegadeNukes:

"Like, I am so in approval of the idea of taking your shoes off in the damn house that I can hardly write a coherent sentence explaining why I believe in this. It's just like, if you don't agree, there's something wrong with you. How dare you wear shoes in your home and still joke about Korean people eating dogs."

Apple does things on their terms because that's how they maintain their #1 strength: consistency.

@amatecha: Valve has promised to release all their future games simultaneously for Mac and PC, so hopefully that will become a more common trend.

@contrapositive: Apple is top-of-the-line in customer satisfaction, so if you are steering your customers away from them, you aren't really doing them a service.

I'm borrowing my friend's 360 this week (he's testing for a professional license and doesn't need the distraction) and it's not connected thanks to the lack of wifi. The most annoying part is that it keeps giving me warnings that it's not connected. It drives me nuts.

Crap, that just reminded me that I have Bowser's Inside Story at home and I haven't even started it yet.

@Mike8813: My music tastes have really mellowed out a lot, and I've just become a lot less into music in general. It's not that I don't love music, but I just don't want that constant presence of loud, upbeat, driving beats like I used to (although I still go for that on occasion). Now, it's usually just nice having…

Why didn't they put the colored ping pong ball on this as well? Wouldn't it be more awesome to have an analog on a fully functional motion controller?

So in Japan, extreme addiction is wearing pajamas all day, going to the bathroom with the door open and falling behind on some house chores? I call that working from home.

@nonplusx: I thought the accents were pretty terrible. I would have preferred that they just stick with British accents
