Nope, "Personal Computer" is something that was first a computer labeled with "IBM-compatible" and is now something "Windows-compatible". The term may weaken, but I think it is still something with Windows only.

Yup. My Mac is a public computer. It just feels so naughty when people watch.  ;)

Also, continuing the terrible legacy of the original post, I say they should forget the consoles and make a text only version for the Amiga. That'll teach 'em!

That pic wins and is too true, might as well throw Linux in there too as a hippie or something.

And Sartan, no on text, yes on no consoles, I seriously think Aquaria should remain on the comp, seeing they will (hopefully) make a lot of mods.

Well, technically it's Windows that can run games...not PCs.  My friend has a Mac notebook (We have to stop calling them laptops since that stupid lady sued for a burned lap...idiocy) and he uses bootcamp to install Windows as well, so he's got all the reliability and media functions of a mac, with all the gaming of the Windows operating system.

This...game...ROCKS!

Her clothing and genitalia literally became the same object. Maybe just a little research wouldn't hurt?

And how does this mean we can't call them laptops?  They go on your lap!  Just because one laptop generated extra heat is no reason to change the well-known term.  That's like changing the name of coffee to "don't spill this on your lap drink."  Sure the company is obviously at fault, but the name?  The simple fact is, they were originally intended (and are still used for) LAP TOP computing.  It's not a notebook dammit!

This doesn't happen a lot, but I totally concur with Glamador, he's totally right, just like some stupid americans who need a "Look out, this is hot" sign for a microwave dinner, seriously pathetic.

Well...I live in America...but I don't sue at the drop of a hat.  Of course if the hat were made of stone...and it fell on my leg...well then maybe I'd sue.

Broadening Aquaria to other platforms may be profitable and worthwhile. How about the Wii for example? It would be great, and with a little work, Aquaria could take advantage of its Wiimote.

I don't know about other consoles. To be honest, I don't play them.

Would Aquaria work on the Nintendo DS?

As for Mac vs Wnidows, I have a better comic:



Seriously, its rather futile in the end. Preference and taste. Some people prefer Windows while others prefer macs.

To the original point of that, I think that porting Aquaria to macs can work if they allow it.

As for Linux, then it really comes to apples and oranges. Linux has many versions ("distros", I think) and are really more for people who are computing experts and prefer to work in a more controlled environment.

I agree.

Furthermore, when you put a block of complex electronics that conducts heavy traffic, heat is expected. Because, ya'know, its kinda how electricity works. Conductivity, the principle behind transistors and that lot.

ACK!  OMG!  DO WANT.  I'd seriously buy 10 copies (Ok not seriously, jokingly).  But I'd buy 1 at the very least!  And force my sister and friends to buy more!  I think my love of Aquaria has officially reached fanatical levels...
