I had to miss my guild’s weekly Ice Crown Citadel raid yesterday. Real life always takes preference over World of Warcraft (yes, even though WoW looks so great on the 27″ iMac screen) and yesterday real life hit us hard. My mother inlaw, Mireya, passed away in Costa Rica. It was a tough time for my wife being two thousand miles away as this happened. The role I was playing yesterday was of supporting husband (that and supporting parent are my two main roles). We spent the evening packing, shopping for mementoes my wife will need for her trip, duplicating photos of Mireya for my wife to give to her siblings.

Back to my WoW experience: when I started playing I already had a two year old iMac with only a gig of memory. If I didn’t want any lag I had to pretty much run at 800×600 with most of the effects turned off or to low.
A roundtable! This time Brice, Luis and Russell talk BioShock for Mac.
Against a dark sky with the news that eight out of ten Mac owners also own a PC and that many users game via Boot Camp, what does this mean for Mac gaming?
The three brave Mac gamers, collectively known as BLR, tackle this great question and more, deviating somewhat to consider Meatloaf, but getting back on track with intimate gaming (ooo!), the price of convenience and why there really needs to be a Mac gaming community.
Onward!
