Cool Mac Gear

Game Updates

• Selig's head will now render using the latest UT2k3 update. If only Major League Baseball fans were so lucky.
• Pressurization  is active and functioning in the latest version of X-Plane. So much for ultra-realism.

Updates from MacGamer

• Freeverse, best known as the company that doesn't make grim, gritty games to confirm how much of a badass your 13 year-old self is, has released 3D Crazy Eights. No, not crazy like American McGee. Also, they made the Active Lancer demo smaller. Smaller? Who the heck are these people? If I can fit a demo on my hard drive, it's obviously not worth playing!
• Mom won't let you out on the 31st without reflective tape on your head and X-raying your candy five times? Go to the GameSmith Halloween Party.
• MacGamer assures us they're not on crack for announcing that Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal is coming to Mac. They then announce that the pizza is staring at them, and The Man is spying on them through the TiVo.

Updates from Inside Mac Games

• Red Orchestra is a UT2k3 mod described as being semi-realistic. Say what?
• Can you wait until Nov. 7th? MacPlay is bundling Alien vs. Predator and No One Lives Forever with every AvP2 purchase in the most acronymically exciting news of the year!
• The new iBook G4s are shipping with Tony Hawk 4 installed. Cripes, first the 5300 bursts into flames, and now this...

Around the Web

• In case you missed it in a hail of bullet points, I interviewed Kevin Murphy of MST3k fame.
• Two more days 'till Halloween, Silver Shamrock!
