You can use the onlive to play pc gmes on the Mac.

Yeah but you have to prioritize. One thing you could do is use the mobile version of websites to minimize the downloads.

yeah but instead of spending &700 on your gaming rig you could have tossed in an extra $500 and gotten a macbook... so maybe you should hold off on claims about value.

whatevs mofo. i'm an onlive fanboi and i advocate it wherever i go. it's a great service and you get really inexpensive access to AAA titles. it also works on the oldest crappiest pc or mac, with 100% quality. tell that to the steam people. also, i dont have a huge ugly box in my living room that says "nerd1"

onlive burns 2.5gb/hr, so your cap would get you 50 hours. If you play video games for more than a full work-week every month, that's another issue!

i'm sorry that you have such a junky ISP that you have download caps. frowny face :(

also, i have limited gaming time, so it makes no difference if there is a limited or infinite selection of games. similarly, i do just fine with basic cable becuase I don't have time or inclination to watch ESPN 8 (the ocho) or home shopping network 3 that are on the expanded cable.

onlive definitely hits the right note here, for people who want to ocassionaly play AAA games without all the expense and hassle. fixes the piracy and drm issues too.

pc games will never get back where they used to be. Why spend $2k on a pc rig, in order to play a game that I can play for free on onlive?

look at the time stamps, first four comments, all AC.

I can't find the fourth right now.

Wow, judging by the above comments, the apple trolls/shills are out in full force! Will the real tim cook please stand up?

to be fair, so many nintendo-designed games are incredibly awesome, and it was cool to dedicate an entire issue of nintendo power to them. remember the zelda cartridges came in gold? that was cool too.

Also, laws against firing people? Who has those? I the us, absent a specific contract, all work is at-will - employee can leave at any time, and they can be dismissed at any time. If you're fired because you suck, that's a bigger deal because you don't qualify for unemployment benefits. There R laws in place to regulate this kind of firing, and employees can follow up with wrongful termination suits.

No, but I'm stating that a portion of android users are apple-haters and use android out of spite, even though they would get a better experience with apple.

Ok, here we go. It's clear that Steve Perlman has a dream/vision that server-hosted games/desktop/whatever is a revolutionary idea, and he's just on the cusp of making it a reality. He thought he could make it work before (onlive has been in business for two years or so?) but obviously it didn't work and his company was on the brink of shutting down. But he obviously still believes in his dream and doesn't want to give up. So he does this convoluted thing that throws away lots of past investment and is bad for his staff, but it is a way to keep the dream alive. Steve Perlman. I'll be successful no matter what he does. If not onlive, then he would be successful elsewhere. The fact that he so intensely believes in the potential of his streaming service is awesome. C'mon, what's the big difference? Go bankrupt and everybody is laid off and loses equity, or play this shell game where every body is laid off and loses equity, but the service still continues? Disclosure: i'mm an avid onlive user.

What does this have to do with the subject at hand? Or are you just dumping snark into the conversation? Is that what you're like at work?

As said above, this isn't a re-release of smb2, but an entirely new game. So please un-bunch your panties. Btw smb2 was the weirdest game I evar played.
