I didn't have a chance to login to Lord of the Rings Online yesterday. How was launch day? Turbine, how did it go? Quotes, we want quotes!
Fargo over at Fileplanet has written an article titled, "An Open Letter to Apple from a Lifelong Gamer" that touches on many of the points that I have been making about the gaming hardware divide.
Gaming is the only reason that I own a PC. An apple a day keeps the gamer away is an unfortunate truth. Fortunately, the tide is beginning to come in for Mac gamers. In reality, the tide has always been ebbing and flowing on the Mac. There are a number of top notch titles available, but for the best gaming experience a PC always had the upper hand.
The good folks at Apple have been making shiny things for as long as shiny things have been popular. There are some people who believe that Apple made shiny things popular in the first place. I can't argue with that line of thought. Most of you own an iPod and an increasing number of you own a Mac laptop. The switch to Intel chips opened the door to the one-machine-fits-all computing renaissance. Bootcamp, an Apple utility that allows Macs to boot to Windows XP (and now Vista) opened up a brave new gaming world. Gamers could now own a Mac that could play their PC games.
