Other Games / steam to XboX live user count.
June 13, 2010, 01:55:49 PM
woot! just got some figures for user count i was rlly surprised.

Xbox boats 13 million users.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/press/2010/0205-whittenletter.htm

Steam boasts 29 million active users

http://store.steampowered.com/news/3390/


now what i dont get is, even tho Steam has over 15 million more users buying on steam. Why games come out exclusive to a certain console, knowing that there is a larger market on steam or a open platform release.

Other Games / CoD pool
June 12, 2010, 01:17:18 PM
i thought it would be cool to make a pool on when CoD stops coming out.

20$ to the winner.

my bet. CoD12


(hopefully MPC will be around when CoD12 comes out)

Tech Support / Valve Mic issues
June 12, 2010, 10:03:48 AM
my mic is not working on valve games on both my Mac and Boot Camp partitions. It isnt a hardware issue because my mic works in cod2 and 4. I have mic ability turned on in the settings of tf2 and L4D2 however no sound is registered. also, in the windows control panel for audio recognition windows does recognize my mic and registers sound. How do i get Voice to work in tf2 and L4d2?

ill can give more info if you need it.

Other Games / Mac percentages on steam.
June 06, 2010, 05:33:36 PM
looked it up on steam. Mac is now 13% of all the gamers on steam. Doesnt look like much but a nice number compared to our market share on the general internet.

one of the groups i joined on steam has a couple people in the CSS beta. they put up some screenshots if anyone is interested.

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/originalmacgamers/announcements/detail/181449049012120875

according to one of the participants in the beta they have CSS running at 90fps which is really good.

Tech Support / Browser hide-ability
June 01, 2010, 01:20:27 PM
fathers day is coming up and my dad has really been wanting a mac so i was gonna do the next best thing and make a hackintosh for him. The only problem is that his bank only supports IE for accessing it's site. I was wondering if there was a way to disguise Google Chrome to present itself to the website (Bank) as IE.

*extra info*

Chrome does indeed support the bank, the bank uses no protocols that Chrome doesnt support. I think the issue is the fact that the bank only allows IE users for some reason unknown

Tech Support / XBOX hardware requirements
May 30, 2010, 02:49:15 PM
this isnt really an issue but a random curiosity. I looked up the tech specs of an XboX 360 and the hardware inside it isnt very high, at least not as high as a PC and some of the PC requirements. I was wondering, how is an xbox able to run a game with no lag with such low hardware power?

May 25, 2010, 06:25:29 PM

Other Games / Killing Floor.
May 20, 2010, 06:10:51 PM
Just bought Killing floor for mac. Ill let you guys know if it is any good. in a future update.

**update**

ok, so if i can sum up Killing Floor in a few sentences it would be this. Killing Floor has got to be one of the best games i have played in a while. For 13$ this game is a complete steal. I recommend everyone to got out and try this game. I have given my guest pass to AG and i hope he will give his review soon. He liked it too but maybe not as much as me. (he doesn't like killing zombies like i do :P )

is it possible to install an application to a flash drive?

for example. let's say I wanted to take an application from my computer and run it on my school computers, can I put the app on a flash drive and run it at my school without having to install it to the school computers?

srry for grammar I am posting from my phone

Tech Support / Steam update
May 15, 2010, 02:06:15 PM
sorry everyone, support.steampowered.com is down for me so i cant access it.

When my friend trys to open steam he gets prompted a window saying "checking for updates". However, the text box remains on his screen for an indefinite period of time until he closes it. Because of this he cannot receive the update allowing him to download portal. how can he get a steam app with all the updates installed or a link to direct download of the most current steam update?

Tech Support / upgrading mac memory.
April 29, 2010, 08:17:20 PM
Now ik what you guys are gonna say off the bat. "mac RAM is outrageously priced". But i found the manufacturers site and the cost of the RAM is fractional to Apple Store's price.

http://www.edgetechcorp.com/memory/upgrade.asp?cid=35543

now, i currently have 4GB of RAM installed on my mac right now. What i am thinking is that gaming speeds may improve with the full 8GB RAM installed. Should i spend the extra money for the (2x4GB), or is 4GB of RAM enough?

*anyone looking for Mac RAM or any other computer using EDGE RAM, this site seemed to be selling it for the cheapest.*

Tech Support / Tricking Gameranger
April 22, 2010, 06:13:30 PM
ok so, i have officially quit SWBF as you all know. However, i still wish to join rooms to chat with old clan partners. Is there a signature file on swbf that Gameranger uses to identify your applications? i guess what i am trying to say is, is there a way i can trick Gameranger into thinking i have SWBF installed on my mac with out it being installed? i am running low on HD space and until i get the hefty 500GB version i need all the GB possible.
