    I think Jeff and the Giantbomb team are in a slightly better position to get the latest news from developers and publishers than I am

    As they don't have enough stuff on their minds already, one of the major things about this site is that a lot of it is built by the users.

    :D

    To be fair, if you go to any of the consoles news sections, it comes up with the same message. But I do know what you mean, PC games are barely talked/written about by the GiantBomb staff.

    Along the lines of what Rowr said, I haven't seen any of those reviewers touch PC games back on Gamespot. O'Campo and Kasavin were the main PC people there. But I'm not going to dismiss them just yet, that would be unfair.

    But that was a really hilarious original post!

    ryan, brad and vinne dabble a bit.

    I think brad is the closest to an expert.

    Ryan got a souped up computer a little while ago to play age of conan, I think he got kind fo distracted though.
    Vinnie has been playing alot of older classics lately.

    They talk about PC stuff on the bombcast, but that's about as far as that  goes. :(

    Lol, this reminded me of some PlayStation 3 advertisements in... I think it was Europe, they had a big ad saying it was a Blu-Ray player and at the bottom it said, "it also plays games!"

    Macs for the win! :D Seriously though, people can run Bootcamp, run Windows OS, and play PC games on their Macs if they want. Also more games are being created for both platforms nowadays, as far as I know.

    Running it through boot camp would cause some performance problems, no?
