The PC vs Mac Issue

Some times, we need a little light shed on the whole argument.  Some times, people argue about stupid stuff.  This is no different.  Which one is better?  PC vs Mac?  Well, to tell you the truth, it's really a matter of preference.

There is nothing you can't do on a PC that you can't do on a Mac.  Just some times, it's easier on one than the other.  The majority of the games are made for PC, but Macs weren't really built for gaming in mind in the first place.  With that in mind, you can still play any PC game on a Mac with a certain program.

I've heard it all before.  This reason vs that reason.  Well, I've got news for you.  News Flash.  People will find something to complain about, even if it's a free item or service.  What's the worst argument I've heard so far?  Well, for starters, someone told me that they hated Microsoft because of the Proprietary Drivers.  Yeah, Proprietary Drivers is what's driving them away from Microsoft.  Seriously.  Nearly every hardware for PC has Proprietary Drivers, yet at the same time, Mac has.....Gasp.....Proprietary Parts.

I'd have to say if one was worse than the other, I"d have to say Proprietary Parts.  Why?  Because, if a company, like Apple, creates a part and they patent it, they can charge what ever they want for the part.  Thus, the reason why Macs are over priced.  I can get twice as much ram and better ram for that matter, a faster processor, and a better video card in a PC Laptop vs a Mac Book Pro that's maxed out.

So, all you people that have these silly little arguments about why one is better than the other, are wasting your time.  So far, no one has convinced me that a Mac is better than a PC.  Now, if you want to send me a Mac Book Pro to test.  I'll glad test it and you can convince me otherwise.  I'll probably end up buying one, but first things first.  Power over Price.  I'm getting a Laptop first, then a Mac Book Pro later when I can better afford one.

What I Like About Gaming

Some of us play video games.  Some of us don't.  Just because your an adult, doesn't mean you have to stop playing video games.  Heck, I grew up around video games  They can be great fun  Some people even incorporate the Wii into weight loss.  I'm a gamer generation.  My kids will probably be gamers.

First Person Shooters can be a lot of fun.  While I don't play them that often, because I tend to get headaches from playing them a lot, I do enjoy them.  Why?  You get to shoot people and blow stuff up.  I think that's the whole object behind First Person Shooters.  The multi-player aspect of these games is just awesome.

Racing Games are a lot of fun too.  Perhaps my favorite of the group to play.  I've played Burnout Revenge a lot.  Why do I like it?  Again, the multi-player aspect.  I like the fact that you can use your car as a weapon and knock other players off the track.

Role Playing Games.  Commonly known as RPG games and MMORPG for the Massive Multi-player Online ones.  Why I like them?  They tend to be Fantasy based, though you're starting to see more Science Fiction based, which is fine too.  Role Playing Games are great, because you can usually pick and sometimes customize your characters.  You get to pick their abilities or talents.  You can level them up to earn new abilities and skills.  Often times, you can find upgraded weapons that are appropriate for your level range.  It's a blast really.

Building Games or Sim Games  I love Sim Games because they give me an aspect of the game that I can be basically what ever I want  I'm in control to build and strive this: city, park, persons life.  They are great fun.  One Adventure/Building Game that I love a lot and play a bunch recently is Minecraft.  It's awesome.  I like Minecraft for the building aspect of it really, although I do enjoy going on adventures here and there and carving my path into the world.

Well, I think that about covers it.  What's your favorite genre and why?
