Diatribe of a Mad Black Boy (In Response to Brad's Spore Requirements Post)
Electro Lemon | 7:24 PM on 09.08.2008 34 comments




I wrote this rant as a comment on Brad Nicholson's latest blog, but stuff like this is getting out of hand. For some reason, people are still fucking set in this process of thought that Mac OS X is significantly inferior to Windows because it can't play AS MANY GAMES AS WINDOWS (though yes, you can still play a lot of Windows games) and because it doesn't have a 'right click'. But as shit got more and more out of hand, I figured it would be more suiting as a blog.



Listen, you elitist, high horse eclectic twats, there is nothing wrong with OS X. Nothing. Just like there's nothing wrong with Windows. For fucks sake, a computer being different does not mean it's of a fucking lesser caliber. And he never said he bought the computer to play games. Have you cunts ever considered that MAYBE, he bought a computer with more than games in mind? No? Oh, sur-fucking-prise.

And no, not every Mac user is a art grad student with a soul patch and a set of acid washed jeans in a fucking beatnik hat. We're not ALL assholes, though the way you guys act in this thread alone, I'm sure you're fitting the connotation you've just set forth. I hate those "Get a Mac" and "it just works." commercials as much as you do, and I wish they'd stop pushing that bullshit, but for a group of 'higher-thinking' people who say they won't get swayed by the media (when it comes to gaming anyway) you sure as fuck love to complain about a standard that is set forth by the media anyway.

And yeah, late 2007 computers and on are the ones that can play Spore. Don't act like this is a Mac only problem too, you twats- technology progresses with age, and that's the same reason people have to upgrade their PCs once every few years. You're bitching about the same thing you have to do eventually to run newer games, just because you're looking for more justification of that one beatnik you saw sitting in Starbucks writing his novel on how to fucking change the world.


It's shit like this that still makes even racial epithets socially acceptable. Grow the fuck up.


In conclusion, OS X is great. Windows is great. They're both great, and you focusing on games alone as a way to judge a computer is just as shallow and ignorant as it is fucking insane.

I can't deal with Macbooks because they don't have a right-click.

Epic 'shops.
Aerox's Destructoid Blog
What seems odd to me is that many of the people making the games argument barely PC game anyway (if at all).
Puppy Licks's Destructoid Blog
Wait... you're a mad black boy? I thought you were a busty swedish teenager?
Gameboi's Destructoid Blog
But...but..but... We secretly don't want to spend that much money on a Mac, when a PC is soo much cheaper. We're not all rich gynecologists of the cobra variety.

You guys just spread your hood, and get shit done. We gots 9-5's to tend to. Damn you, you dirty snakes!
pendelton21's Destructoid Blog
No right click = fail. It's science.
Electro Lemon's Destructoid Blog
Regarding the right click-


Two fingers + click = Right click.

OR

Ctrl + click = right click. It's not science, it's utility.
EternalDeathSlayer's Destructoid Blog
Well, to be honest, my PC is 2 years old and it runs Spore with it's integrated Intel graphics and all.

And I have no problems with Macs, it's just that Brad Nicholson loves to tell people that OS X is superior to all Windows OS'.

He should stop acting like that.
etfp's Destructoid Blog
i've just been informed that macs DO have a right click. we've all been fooled. that big ass mouse button IS a right click. omgz. steve jobs has fooled us with innovation once again.

yeah. i hate OS wars too. i do like throwing myself into the fray but in the end i'm always "you like what you like and i like what i like".
CountingConflict's Destructoid Blog
Right clicks are for retards that are too dumb to know their proper keyboard shortcuts.
etfp's Destructoid Blog
@ COUNTINGCONFLICT: i'm sorry but i can't use shortcuts when my left hand is...uh...busy.

*exits stage left*
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, I know that Ctrl + click is the way to do it, but the whole idea of right-click is that I can do all the clicking with my right hand. Plus, I know most of the Windows shortcuts, and they're different on Mac (aside from, of course, the Apple key being used as the modifier). My hands are used to hitting Ctrl (bottom left corner) and using that as the modifier; the Apple key is where I'm used to the Alt key being.
casualweaponry's Destructoid Blog
Fuck right click, I rolls with multi-touch bitches.
Index finger + middle finger + mouse click = right mouse click.
Its like giving a shocker.
IceMax's Destructoid Blog
or, you can just get a mouse with a right click button and plug it into your mac...

also, Mac fanyboys should die in a fire. The only thing worth using a Mac for is Final Cut Pro
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
I hope that one format wins, and that I have chosen the winning format in advance.
Tubatic's Destructoid Blog
I'm a mac user, and I've been right clicking for like 10 years now.

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Logitech-Marble-Mouse-9043600403/sem/rpsm/oid/36184/catOid/-13017/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

I've got expose mapped to the inner left button and widgets mapped to the inner right. Its wicked awesome.

I don't see what the QQ's been about for buttons. OS X's been 'bout it from jump.
Brad Nicholson's Destructoid Blog
@Gynecologist Cobra - Thanks for this. Excellent read and equally excellent writing. It's perplexing to me how that Spore article turned into a shitfest, but hey, I understand all that pent up Windows aggression. (Yes, that was a joke.)
nebones's Destructoid Blog
Awesome shops
Redzie's Destructoid Blog
I didnt know tiff was a mad black boy.
topgeargorilla's Destructoid Blog
I thought this was .tiff. You suck Lemon
Rifter01's Destructoid Blog
I love Mac's.. Ever since I used them for desktop publishing work and was comfortable with the keyboard shortcuts, there isn't too much difference to me.

I didn't read the other thread so I don't know what all the hub bub is about. Spore doesn't really interest me too much atm, but seeing some of the machinma (like the Starship Xbudz posted this morning) might change my mind.
Endstiem's Destructoid Blog
Fuck I hate macs.
Demtor's Destructoid Blog
Macintosh PCs can plays games?
Mr Wilson's Destructoid Blog
Came for .tiff...Stayed for right clicks
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
But my 2004 pc runs Spore.
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
...FUCK WINDOWS!!!!

I right click my ass off on my Mac. I never understood that "no right click" argument.
Dogen's Destructoid Blog
This comment posted from Linux.

(Actually, in a gaming context Linux definitely comes up short. However, it means I can keep a Windows partition around without having to worry about stupid Windows crap all the time and just use it to game. Like a console, except with iTunes and not-emulators).
Aziel13's Destructoid Blog
stop the wars
LEAVE OS X ALONE!
leave it alone :'(

If I'm not on Destructoid,
chances are that I'm over here, on the old Twitter.
Or maybe on Tumblr.
Or out in the real world.

No, I'm kidding. Unfortunately.
