I knew from the start you were.

I just didn't say anything.

It was much funnier that way. =D

another fun, casual Mac game is Vendetta Online. Only way I can describe it is that it's sorta like X2: The Threat or X3: The Reunion only online...only thing is you don't adventure in the stations, they're just pretty much menus...it's still fun, though...and it has an 8 hour (of play time) free trial, no credit card...check it out.

also, if you don't like that, EvE Online is supposed to have a Mac client soon but, I found it boring (almost everything could be macroed) and it had a 3-4 hour learning curve (the tutorial's an hour long!)

EvE is also fully Crossover supported and runs great on any Mac with matching specs. Just remember to install DirectX through EvE's installer

I'm honestly going to try Vendetta again...anyone who wants to join me there or wants me to play EvE, I'd be glad to...just suggestions, ya don't have to take em

EDIT: also, what are the details on the Mac client of Myst Online's requirements?

Well, I know the laptop I'm using here at CMU can't handle it. I'm certain my Mac Mini back in Florida shouldn't have a problem, though. I'm probably going to become an Explorer when I return.

on...Myst? I already pay for GameTap so, I play occasionally...I don't pay for the other 2, though

Wow. Vendetta Online is awesome. I just got hooked for the past 6 hours straight. Thanks.

Mwahaha, feel the Macintosh's revenge!

Psst, should we tell him?

Huh? No, Vendetta Online's got Windows and Linux versions too.

Psst, didn't you read the damn fine print?!

You ass!

Blorx · Post by **Blorx** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 9:38 pm

hmm...I wonder how many people are gonna quit Vendetta when they realize they have to pay after the first 8 hours...

That was stupid for three reasons.

Blorx, I used up all my 8 hours in one sitting.

I'll probably find a way to play it for free when I have some time tomorrow.

Um, who doesn't use up eight hours in one sitting?

Well, that's in addition to the other games I've been playing. Aside from half an hour to take a quick nap and 15 minutes to eat and drink, I've been sitting at my computer playing games and occasionally reading webcomics or posting on forums from 11:00 AM on Friday to 11:10 PM today, which is the current time.
