Speaking of golf, PGA Tour on windows 3.x with the pc speaker. :D
Good times.I'm glad to hear they acknowledge it, but what I would really like to see are games that aren't developed for both consol and computer. You know what I mean, its been the lateset trend in game development. Suddenly the games menus, control layouts, and just general in game feel have changed in order to accomodate a consol environment and I really don't like it. It just doesnt work well on a PC. It feels slower and much less technical. Less precise.

Open sorce software is computer software for which the source code is freely available.
Valve does provide the means to make 3rd party content for their existing games, but do not offer the source code for a full game redevelopment. It offers the engine and the SDK (source development kit) only if you already own a licensed valve title or some other license that they offer.
There's a difference.

With two things
1: what taz0 said. that was the first thing that came to my mind. If you're looking for a gaming machine, all that matters is the fact that only 1 out of 1000 games on the market support Mac. Period.
2: I have to admit, the whole "hit the jump" thing lost me the first tiem I saw it. "Hit the jump? what the crap does that mean?" Must be some kind of new web generation terms? All i know is it doesn't make any real sense and this is the only place I've seen it used.
I have to say, that doesn't annoy me quite as much as when I do "hit the jump" only to read 2 or 3 more sentances... could have saved 3 seconds of load time. :P

Maybe that was cool 20 or 25 years ago...
That's prolly what was cool on the radio when he was in high school...
(I wouldn't know. I avoid that era like the plauge.)
At least he can play an electric... he just needs to update his sound a bit. Ok, a lot!
