Yea those mac commercial with the nerdy pc guy. WTF are they trying to pull by making us pc users look like chumps.
What I want to see is a PC comeback commercial.

"Hi I am a gaming PC(have some huge gym junkie come in) and I will destroy your wanna be graphics art/media platform."
Then have the muscle guy put that emo mac boy in a choke hold.

OH YEA! :9

You need to remember TARGET AUDIENCE.

Macs are for people that want to buy a "toaster," plug it in, and it "just works"

They dont' want to configure the machine
They don't want to upgrade it
They don't want to download tons of extras

If you want to upgrade your hardware, put tons of extras on it, or tweak it to no end, your probably not the target audience.

Me personally? I work with computers all day long, I want the simplicity of "it just works". I don't want to upgrade the thing, I don't want to configure it. I don't want to put tons of extras on it. And that's why my wife's next laptop with be a MacBook Pro.

MacBooks (Pro|Air) are where Macs make more sense: their laptops are designed well, have high quality parts, and are great for doing all of your non-gaming activities.

Also, once you give the OS a shot, you get used to it and start liking it more than Windows XP/Vista. You just have to give it a fair chance and not go in with the predisposition that it should work like Windows.

What is your best fail ?

My best fail is actually very humiliating. Basically, it's my fault that we lost. In Versus, Dead Center. Master Valafar is caught by a Charger and another by a jockey. This is my finest hour, to prove that I can save them and again, I missed my shot with a lot of class. That is what happened, a boomer exploded on me and I had the sense to take a step back, however, there was a window behind me. I completely missed my shot and wow ... I wanted to kill me.

Be tolerant with me, I am a poor girl who has much to learn. u_u

Ran after an idiot who got pulled into the hallway on DeC1 after we yelled for him to come back to the stairwell a few times, and got death-charged.

Went to save a guy who'd been smoked off the edge after the lift in NM4, walked into one of the bits of disposable scenery in the game (a dustbin), which fell over and rolled against his hands, knocking him off the ledge.

No Mercy 2. Saw a Witch in the middle of the street, walked up to go crown her, got Hunted and I see my teammates going back in the building. Someone with a HR eventually gets it off me before being incapped but I'm in bad shape. Go to the Witch to crown her and let off some steam. Boomer pops up from behind the truck and pukes on me fucking up my shot. I'm incapped from commons and a Witch is clawing at me. I die.

Was it campaign? The person with the HR should have made themselves useful and spiked the witch so you guys could do a stun/crown combo, while the others covered you. But of course you can't expect that much planning from pubs.

My biggest fail would be accidentally shooting a witch in the middle of a tank fight. Yeah.

Really? I'd say it was that one you ran off by yourself on DeC4 and got the whole team killed when you got jockeyed because we couldn't save you.

dark carnival 2
came out of saferoom, we cleared the area of zombies and gone through the ticket booths, when i thought i'd quickly check in the little building for anything of use without telling my friends.
surprise surprise: i ran into the entire special infected team in there (well it was at least 2 of em in there) and i got jockeyed away and out the back door. my friends came to save me but got boomed on while our plus 1 at the time (theres only me and 2 of my friends that play togeather so its always us 3 plus a random guy) got pounced on i think, and one of my friends was smoked.
we were all dead or incapped by the time my 1 unpinned friend was free of the horde and bile. and the hunter pounced on him once he was done with our plus 1.

i caused the death of my entire team by that decision of mine to 'quickly check the building'. i was like apologising big time saying 'il know better next time' XD
since then ive always made sure that if we go in there i always say so and i dont go there alone from now on

Doing a Cobra Commander voice and saying "YOU ARE THE PREY! HE IS THE HUNTER!" when I saw a Hunter. Got kicked :P
Jokes, It was probably when I misstimed a jump on HR3.
