Counter Strike on the Mac is ….
Err, I don’t know what it’s like. It was released on the Mac a few days ago and I installed it last night on my measly Macbook but it crashes each time I start it. Oh well.

10 of the best multiplayer experiences
I just spotted a two page feature in GamesTM listing their top 10 multiplayer games:
- Mario Kart
- Bomberman
- Street Fighter
- Halo
- Micro Machines
- Battlefield
- Worms
- Pac-man Vs
- Team Fortress 2
- Starcraft
What? No Modern Warfare 2? Surely they jest!! OMG WTF!
Anyway, the list above reminded me I had the Orange Box for the Xbox, and included on that compilation is Team Fortress 2. Ihaveneverplayedit! Yes, I have never played it! I also only played Portal on my Macbook with frustrating teeth grinding slow results.
Will I play TF2? I’d like to but probably not unless someone volunteers to join me in a game.
Edit: I found this video of Team Fortress 2, uploaded earlier today so looks like an active community still!
Steam for Mac launches
Steam launched for Mac this morning and I’ve just installed it, along with the 33MB update that downloaded as soon as I started the programme. They’re giving away Portal for free until May 24th. Thanks Alex for the heads up!
I’m downloading it even though I just got a window saying my system didn’t meet the minimum system requirements. Oddly enough it mentions “Windows driver version” so that might be just a bug. The download is very slow but it’s hit 75% so not long now. More later …

Gaming TODO list:
- Finish Bad Company 1. I’m almost near the end, but I kept dying in the village where you have to destroy the two bridges.
- Play Portal as the sequal has been announced. I have the Orange Box, and despite being a huge Half Life fan back in the day I played about an hour of HL2 before getting bored of it. I never even go to Portal.

Some friends of mine are/were huge Counter Strike fans. I only played it a few times, almost always at lan parties, but thankfully never came across bunny hopping:
If you don’t know what bunny hopping is, a message on this thread linked to the Wikipedia page on the practice.
Bunny hopping, or bunny jumping, is a term used in video games to describe the basic movement technique in which a player jumps repeatedly instead of running in order to move faster and/or to avoid enemy fire.
