However, it seems like a chore to get use to the Mac interface for Maya and Unity, not to name apple prices for a desktop.

kinda seems like you already made up your mind.

i have a macbook pro that i love for leisurely activities and games but i'm gonna get a pc desktop in the future. while i think the mac os is better, windows has the advantage of not needing adaptors and ussually being exclusive for programs, where macs might get the same program long after windows users do. in hindsight you can run the imac in bootcamp but that just defeats the purpose. all in all, mac for casual stuff and pc for overall experience stuff imo

i'm not in my prime anymore (high school) so I can't game as much as i used to. i'm either busy or just get a headache after 2-3 hours

so my list is probably around 5 that i've beat

wish it was free like the original game, but no i won't be getting this

well your a broke college student, so wouldn't it make sense to just get a replacement xbox that you already have games/friends on, instead of buying a 3ds along with games?

I have not read any books but my friend has told me some cool stuff from the extended universe and it sounds pretty cool

well i've only done 1 kickstarter (Double Fine Adventure) and those include a video documentary of the game's creation and progress. they are entertaining to watch and see the inner workings (game making, setbacks, ect.)

well i'm november 18th. so I've had the wii U, assassin's creed, and probably tons of other stuff

if it's just writing than your fine

otherwise there are tons of things that are PC only. and even if something is updated to Mac it usually takes a while longer (such as programs and video games)

plus macs are very proprietary and they usually require you to buy an adapter to connect it to a tv or projector, oh and macs are pretty damn expensive

after criticizing macs i do own a macbook pro and it is my only type of computer. While I do love it I would consider it as a second computer as I later plan on getting a PC cus it's more open than macs

and getting sidetracked my macbook pro is very light, and the air is even lighter and smaller, making it perfect to use on your lap or when lying down. So I would put it as a very expensive writing machine, but a damn good one nonetheless.

oh and for macbook pro, the 2 inch difference also comes with a better processor and junk making it more expensive, i'm assuming its the same with the air

games have become very violent, so it is the duty of the parent or guardian to make sure their child doesn't play that game

people can hate on grand theft auto, but it is their fault for buying the game without checking the rating system. you don't hear people bitching about the expendables which is a very gory movie but when it comes to a unrealistic videogame than all hell breaks loose because people think it makes us into killers.

in the end if you're uncomfortable with a game then don't play it, it's as simple as that. Some people like violence and some like mario games. some people like horror movies and some like romantic comedies. so yes video games are very violent, and while they should have age restrictions and other stuff they should in no way be banned or anything

well it depends how old you are

if you're an adult you can do whatever you want

if you're young (like high school or something) i'd listen to him

although this relies on the fact that a father would be willing to break his child's hands

Uhh no, even if you're an adult and you're living in your parent's house, you do what they say. If you lived on your own and came to visit as an adult, maybe, but I still can't rationalize "do whatever you want".

well when i say "do whatever you want" i say that in a civilized manner

if there's a rule to wipe your feet before you enter the house that's a reasonable request, but if it comes down to something such as "i'll break your hands" then that seems a bit overkill. granted I don't know the culture and atmosphere that this originated in (which heavily weighs in on my decision as I talk from my own family life and living with parents) so without any details and understanding of the situation you can't really expect me to provide an adequate answer.

For example is the father actually willing to break the hands, or was it just an empty threat? i don't know. but what I do know is if my dad made a serious request like that, I wouldn't abide, and not for the fact that it's some type of rebellious activity but that it goes against my personal belief. While there should be a level of restraint while living in another person's house the idea of washing dishes and hand breaking just seems overkill

again I don't know the background information so I don't know what is actually possible in that given situation

edit: and while I do listen to my parents most if not all the time, I am an adult with his own opinions and beliefs. I voice my opinions when I disagree with something in a civilized manner. Plus if you're an adult your father shouldn't be treating you like a little kid, he should treat you like a man and not like some type of slave that he'll beat if he's not satisfied. anyway end of rant
