Reviewed Mass Effect a while ago and hated it. Horrid inventory, repetitive side missions, buggy vehicles and no explanation of the player classes at the start of the game.

I did just get a new Mac, which is also now proudly running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
I swing for both teams, baby.
(But I prefer the OS X team >_>)
EDIT: That image is actually outdated and it doesn't take into account that the Mac Pro runs mostly on server grade hardware. I'll admit that Apple charge a lot for their machines, but they're a successful company. I'm fairly certain no company goes into business saying "Gee, how little money could we be making here?". Bringing up these facts is nothing new: one could say the same thing for premium cars and mega houses. At the end of the day, they do the same thing, but it's the experience that matters most and for some people: it's more preferable to have a super car or a large house.
I'm not going to get into Mac V Windows debates because they're largely idiotic. Arguing about operating systems, particularly in frequent cases where the user has had little to no experience with the 'flawed' OS is bordering on bigotry.
I use OS X because I like the experience. It's been smooth and fast even on my five year old MacBook Pro and that's more than I can say for Windows XP running on the exact same hardware. That isn't to say that OS X doesn't have it's problems (it does), but I doubt any of you could say that Windows 7 is supremely perfect.
I use Windows 7 for gaming and other bits and pieces. I don't hate it at all: in fact, I think it's a fantastic step forward for Microsoft.

Strideh: Corrected. >_>
The_(c)Striker: Up until now, I've been gaming on a 5 year old MacBook Pro.
Unbreakable: I did have dialup for a long while, but I have upgraded to broadband.
JeffMOD: Possibly...
Joebama: Quiet you.
Blitzkrieg: Sucks. My MBP has been pretty damn stable over the years, aside from one of the cooling fans requiring some grease every now and then. I picked up an 8-core Mac Pro.
crollo: Strideh will get his chance, don't worry.
Habboi: Damn straight. I actually played through HL2 and Episode 1 recently when they got re-released for OS X, but I saved Episode 2 for the new computer. Granted, I doubt Episode 2 is really pushing the computer in any way, it's a pretty old game now. Still, motion blur is nice and so is not taking an FPS hit when switching on the torch.
Still, good news all around.
cough
Many happy returns, whatever that means...something to do with a bank account? I dunno.
It reflects poorly on the quality of a mod if it's rife with spelling and grammatical errors.
Enough said.

Coincidently, what are the odds that I'd stumble on here and see a Journal entry from you? Good to hear from you!
What?
