@pfastfoot: sssssllllllllooooooooow.

I would love for all my steam games to run in OS X, but just porting the steam client won't cut it. This is ultimately an empty gesture, as all the current content is pretty much inexorably tied to windows.

@kyre: Depends on the macbook. One of the aluminum ones with the better graphics card (and 4GB of RAM) should probably do just fine.

I don't think another visit to rapture is in the cards. Maybe a prequel, before the war, with living, breathing citizens that aren't whacked out splicers, for a game that isn't a shooter anymore, perhaps. I'm not too far into BS2 (6 hours, maybe, scouring for everything) but I don't think there's bound to be much…

@scrapking: I was unimpressed with CivRev. I guess I kept wanting it to be the desktop version, and was lulled into being too aggressive by the petulant boredom.

@Brinsley :): Yeah, free expansions suck.

@Geurge: Note that Crisis still worked on a weapon select radial.

@Mamba the Madvillain: Gamers do whine a lot. PC gamers whine more. I think they're disgruntled that everything gets made on Xbox then ported to the PC nowadays.

@jcb231: I'm going to guess a company like EA probably spent some money on market research, and that's probably more reliable than your anecdotal claims. If your claims were true, this article would be about the patch that allows you to more clearly read important text bits.

I'm wondering if there's any overlap among the "TECTS TOO SMAL!" crowd and the "WII OOLGAY!" crowd, because it seems like gamers will complain about anything.

@The Anti-Fanboy: In all fairness, the gent who paints with food color and toilet paper has no right to complain that he doesn't have access to a good prussian blue. He makes compromises based on his budget; he doesn't whine that food color doesn't come in burnt umber.

@AmphetamineCrown: And being able to get it out! I work on computers, and every last tiny f—-in screw is phillips. Plus they run steel into aluminum and pot metal alloys, and they seize all the time. The torx back right out. The phillips I can get out, but some of the other guys tend to strip the hell out of them.…

@ninicraftone: Phillips is totally idiotic. All screws should be robertson or torx.

@Xagest: If you're dealing with stripped security screws, you're better off using a grabbit or other extractor, or just drilling the heads out.

@JensRex: Extracting seized screws are a separate story. Even if the tool matches the screw, sometimes they just don't want to turn. If you're impatient, or not apply sufficient downforce, or you're just the tech who gets to clean up the mess, you get to deal with extracting screws that weren't stripped until…

I run into laptop mobo screws that are overtightened or seized all the time. By the time I get to have a hack at it, the previous tech has done all the stripping for me. This only works with very small screws, but I can usually take a small strip of kapton tape and stick it over the stripped head of the screw. Then…

@Leanid: BUT THE GRAFFICKS!

@Serrate: Flash fails as a mobile standard until it's efficient. Flash = no battery life = no money from me.

@OkayOctane: Apple didn't intend to take large slices of the hardcore gamer crowd either. Look at the game market; a game sells 6m copies and it's a major major success (read: mario) Apple pisses at six million. They've sold 70M iPhones, and as many iPod touches. Why on earth would they give a fuck about the…
