Games

About a year ago, before Apple released their new Intel macs, I made guess that windows and mac would become closer then ever, and that windows based apps, would be available for mac users, mainly “games”. I have stuck by it, and as the year has roled around, I figured I was right the whole time. Apple since that post has moved to Intel chips, released bootcamp, and now the talk about “Cider”. “Cider” is a

“…portability engine for Intel-based Macs, offering game developers and publishers the ability to deploy Windows-based games on new Macs quickly and easily, without the need for traditional arduous porting.”

It looks like I was right. Things are starting to slowly merge and close the gap. Don’t get me wrong though, Windows and Mac with never be the same.

So now for another prediction! With all the talk about next week and Apple’s WWDC 2006, I’m going to make my predictions as to what Apple will unleash.

1) Power Mac will be replaced by a new Intel Xeon Processor, and a availble Intel Core Duo processor.

2) Mac OS X 10.5 (of course) but here are the features im guess at will be added.

a) tabbed browsing inside Finder.

b) new iChat features (possible to sync to iPod)

3) New…..er MacBook and MacBook Pro.

I’m betting some updates to some of things they have been having issues with, and maybe a new processor.

4) New iPod!

a) Wifi, Bluetooth capabilities

b) ya, it will be a phone. (thats my guess anyways)

5) New iPod Nano colors. This is probelly my only guess that I don’t really think will happen, but it could.

Anyways, I just had to go and make some predictions because everyone else is. I can’t wait to get this next week over with so I can sell my PC and by my MacBook, that is, if they release a new…er MacBook.

You still don’t believe that it is possible to run Half Life 2 beautifully on a MacBook Pro?! Well here is the proof buddy. And just to remind you, the MacBook Pro doesn’t have decent video drivers yet, but it still runs really good! Check it out.

The game has some new pictures out and the game is looking really good. I would go and check them out.

This is so cool. Now you know what to do with that old broken NES in your basement. It just needs a NES controller/mouse mod or something.

I now have another project to get started on

How to make one.

Well I love the NES, so I just had to post this.

Now that the patent has run out on the Famicon (NES) other companies can now produce the console.

What Does that Mean?

-WIRELESS CONTROLERS!!!!
-Play all of your saved NES games!!!
-Get a sweet new NES with all the cool technologies!
-Old school is much better.
I highly recommend getting one, I’m going to. This is worth the money, unlike the Xbox 360 or PS2.

Here is a link to one such company.

omg…I’m so tired of them making Halo big for Xbox, but not making it big for the PC.

Halo 3 to support 4 player Co-Op, 50 players online, and map editor.

OMG! Who freaking cares! If they would make it on PC, you could do 64 players online, UPDATES, map editor, you could make mods, and loads more.

Stupid Xbox.
