I'm amazed at how sensative the gaming community can be over something as harmless as this. Lighten up, by my calculations this shirt implies that we have 3x the life of a normal person.... woohoo!
I think many people are missing the point of this post. I'm all for a person playing the spec that they most enjoy, but different specs are going to be better for different jobs and to get all huffy about this fact just baffles me. Play the way you like, but don't for a minute think that you can randomly smash talent buttons and be as effective as a well thought out build.
While it's an interesting shield, you can easily buy outland BoE greens for under 10g that would work just as well minus that miniscule crit. I notice a lot of low levels in my guild froth at the mouth over some of the level 50-60 gear not realizing that once you get to 58 you can buy the boe greens that are equivalent to tier 2 gear or just go to outlands and get even better gear.
While I understand and agree with all the speculation on the death of print magazines I have to say this is still dissapointing. Computer Games was one of the few (possibly only?) magazines that didn't cater to the assinine spike TV demographic that the gaming community is stereotyped into. Heavy on text and ideas, low on screenshots and gratuitous swearing this mag will be missed.
I'll be looking for where the writers go though, Cindy Yans, Steve Bauman and Tom Chick are some of the best gaming writers out there.
My first character was a human priest which I leveled to about 19. When I received a quest to go to ironforge I wasn't sure how to get there and I asked in general chat if I just was supposed to head north. No one replied so i took off north of goldshire and into the human starting area. Couldn't find an exit so I went to redridge mountains and kept going north into the burning steppes... where I was thoroughly smacked down by high level characters. I didn't give up though I just kept rezzing and heading north... finally I got a response about where to go and they told me to just take the deeprun. So foolish!
"think it's ridiculous for a company like Apple to release a $599/799 computer (without a Display, Keyboard or Mouse) that has a GPU without vertex shader support, especially when there are so many brilliant mobile chips out there. The low end of the line is where the majority of users lie, so for the lowest end Mac to feature an integrated graphics chip is a kick in the balls to Mac game porters/publishers."
Conrad you're totally missing the point, even with a vid card that mac mini isn't going to play any games.
I tend to agree with the posts that question the need for this post. It baffles me why the poster thinks that potential switchers would care that this came without a gaming capable video card, especially if they have a pc like the poster said in their scenerio. Also, this is coming from a mac mini user who knows that even the ATI card in my first generation mac mini is practically useless for games.
