It’s official (sort of), Mac and PC are no more. The five year relationship between the try-hard PC and the supportive yet tastefully condescending Mac have been removed from the Apple site and replaced with an altogether more dry advertising campaign explaining why you’ll love a mac. Paying homage to the iconic campaign the OneMoreThingPodcast has put together a brilliant montage of many of the best 30 second gems. Fair well PC (John Hodgman) and Mac (Justin Long) we knew you but for too short a time.

I’m going to lie down.
For my money Crysis still holds the crown for visual fidelity and whilst the gameplay suffered some flaws, on a high end (and I mean high end) PC the visceral prowess of Crytek’s work is unmatched. That was to say until Crytek released screens of upcoming Crysis 2. Not many words can aptly depict the visuals contained herein so I’ll let the images do the talking for me. You can bet your boots these screens weren’t captured on a console though. Read more…

What they have created, so far, looks little short of brilliant. Video and pictures after the break. Read more…
