Hello Team Fortress 2!

Post by [JiF]Dandyman »

I decided that this announcement deserves its own special post. I just completed the installation of Team Fortress 2 on the Windows partition on my new iMac. I am very pleased to announce that it doesn't just run, it runs superbly. I had the majority of the options at "high" levels and the resolution at 1920. I suspect I will be getting thoroughly trounced on a regular basis, but oh well. This game looks fantastic and I can't wait to get back in to gaming with you guys.

Just because MACs are for girls don't think we will take it easy on you :wink:

OK, I really stink, but damn that was fun. I think I need to stick to Soldier, Demoman, and Heavy for a little while.

I try and hide as an engineer when I am getting my butt handed to me. I am impressed that you say it works so well on your MAC.
Maybe Jimbo can give up his PC completely and run it on his MACtop so he can stop whinning about his wicked old PC video card :D

As you can see in the article, the hardware in this Mac is actually quite good.

Jimbo set up Steam on his MACtop and I was very impressed at how well it ran. I think he was too. He never had seen the lighting effects or the little Shlitz cans you can shoot around when your bored. Of course his PC was running a pretty old vid card so its like apples and oranges :D
Last night was the first night I could actually hear him speak :D
