New MBP - what games should I get?

I haven't played a single game on my new MBP since buying it - most apple games seem quite dated. Are there any good recommendations out there? I'm open to pretty much all genres.

whats wrong with "dated" games... just cuz a game is newer doesn't mean its more fun.... most of mine... if not all, are "old" to someone
lets seem what games I have on mine
Age of Empires 2
Age of Mythology
Alchemy
Armagetron
Bejeweled
City of Heroes
Civilization 4
Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (Windows version ran in Wine)
Knights of the Old Republic 1 (Windows version ran in Wine)
Knights of the Old Republic 2 (Windows version ran in Wine)
Lords of the Realm 2 (Windows version ran in Wine)
Master of Orion 3
Monopoly
Neverputt
Neverwinter Nights 2 (Windows version ran in Wine)
Oblivion (Windows version ran in Wine)
Pangea Arcade
Privateer Remake
Risk II
Rocket Bowl
Scrabble
Second Life (is it a game? yes/no)
The Ur-Quan Masters (Star Control 2 open source remake)
Beyond that I have a LOT of old DOS games I run in DOSbox... same with a lot of Nintendo and Super Nintendo old games I have with emulators...

  • What upgrades should I get for my MacBook pro for video editing?, What upgrades should I get for my MacBook pro for video editing?

    Hi,
    i am a student and I will use my MacBook pro to edit my movies, I will go to a film school and I think the preview of my previous works has to be professionally done. But I don't know what upgrades should I get to make the editing smooth, and have enough storage.

    as an hobbyist on a shoestring budget, but with the head in the sky, based on my own experience:
    8GB Ram is ok, 16GB is nice
    most important, aside 'skills': …
    <voice of Steve Balmer> ext HDD, ext HDD, ext HDD, ext HDD!!!
    I'm handling here 4k material on a MacMini, which doesn't even have a dedicated GPU. In Multicam.
    Distribute your materials on several hard drives, make a plan first, before editing, what & where, you get instantly messy and lost without a plan.
    What mentioned before: back ups! I'm not shy using a 99€ Raid0 (=two 2.5" drives + Disk Utility's feature, to create 'software raids' ) - Raid0 are NoGo for pros, 'cause it doubles the chance to 'crash' - no prob for me, having my backups - inconvenient to reload everything - but I'm no News Room
    For professional 'look' care for the other stuff :
    tripod with 'fluid head', lights, more lights, ND filters set, ext. microphone(s) at last a shotgun and a lav, ext audio recorder (I'm abusing my ol' iPhone4 and a tiny box called iRig, which offer XLR connector), did I mention lights? , a good bag and a waterproof, lockable aluminium box, soft boxes for light, maybe a shoulder rig (starting at 80€), 200sq ft of some green cloth for green screening (if your school doesn't offer a 'studio') FCPX does marvel with even really bad lighted green screens, those handy foldable 'brighteners'/reflectors, to bounce light ('Rembrandt lightning') … finally tons of odds and ends, starting with gaffer tape, ending with SDcards ...
    And DO things, try things, play with your stuff, make experiments just for the trash bin!
    Enjoy your film school (I'm envy… )

  • What devices should I get for development?

    I am a developer and want to start making apps for the new screen resolutions as well as continue android development. It is also time for me to get a new phone. So should I get an android phone like the S3 and get an iPod touch, or just get an iPhone 5 and continue to use my old android phone for development?
    I know this is a really vague question, so I'm asking what the more experienced developers would do.

    One of my big questions is do you guys actually keep the same phone for two years
    I have no choice. I'm locked into a contract. Are you saying that you buy multiple phones in the $600 range in two years just to get them without a contract? Anyway, if you decide Android, I would not get an S3. Maybe an HTC or Droid. But I would go with iPhone 5.

  • What MacBook should I get??

    What MacBook should I get? I want a MacBook this year and I know costs but nothing extremely expensive. I usually have 5 - 6 tabs open, listen to a lot of music, play disc games and occasionally photo edit and those sorts of things. But I don't know what MacBook to get because im not a computer savvy person plus there is a lot of choice so any help is greatly appreciated!

    There is no answer to your question (that makes sense) since usage - even of the same applications - varies widely.
    As a general thought, more memory is happiness. The screen size is a personal preference. Larger is nice, but I find my 13" screen is quite satisfactory.

  • What app should I get to burn home movies made in iMovie

    I was surprised to find my new mac book pro doesn't include the ability to burn a dvd from iMovie.  What app should I get to burn home movies made in iMovie.

    I have Burn, it is a poor substitute for iDVD.
    There is NO alternative.   But iDVD is very easy to get.
    iDVD is a “Must Have".   (Yes, it should be included.)
    Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.
    800-692-7753
    800-275-2273
    If you are still within your 15 day return period,  nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.
    Most people report that by asking here:   http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
    or here:   http://www.apple.com/contact/
    they got a free copy of iDVD.
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

  • What display should I get for my macbook pro?

    Hey Guys. I think this is in the correct section.
    So I have a Macbook Pro (specs at the bottom) and I am looking to add an external monitor to use as a second monitor and at other times a screen for my playstation. I have never had a monitor before so not sure how big? What resolution? What ppi? HD, UHD, 4K? Someone said something about refresh rate. I have no idea what that is. None of this stuff I know.
    Obviously I want the best screen I can have and I would connect my Macbook to it by HDMI using a Thunderbolt to HDMI converter and connect my ps3 to it by HDMI.
    What is the highest resolution a HDMI/Thunderbolt can handle?
    What screen should I get?
    Also I connected it up to my TV once and if I put my mouse at the bottom of the screen and then moved it onto my macbook screen it disapeared and didn't appear again until I moved it up and I don't want this problem
    How can i solve this?
    All help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks.      Miles.
    Specs:
    Macbook Pro - 13 inch - Mid 2012
    13.3 inch (1280 x 800)
    OSX Yosemite - Version 10.10.1
    Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024MB

    The apple thunderbolt display is £900 which to me seems an extremely large amount of money to spend on a display ?

    what iphone should i get im a young teen want as cheap as possibly thinking of getting one on kijij should I?

    No. Get one from your carrier or from Apple. Most of the cost will be the monthly service, not the cost of the phone. Many carriers will give you an iPhone for free if you agree to a 2 year contract.

  • Buying new phone what size shoul i get

    buying new phone what size shoul i get

    It depends a lot on how you use the device.
    Emails and web pages are small with little impact. Music is more average sized files but people can have hundreds of them. Movies and videos are your largest files. I use the smallest size because you can always save info and content to the computer. Syncing allows you to move content from the computer to device whenever you'd like. I rotate 7 gb of music onto my ipod then put a different 7 gb every couple weeks. I never have to listen to a song twice. If you don't have a computer, travel a lot, or store a lot of large files, like films to watch, you would definitely need something larger to get by.

  • What speed should I get on my N network?

    I've got a MacBook Air on my wireless network. I have a Time Capsule then two Airport base stations extended off of this. I'm wondering what speed should I get in transfer theoretically. I feel my WIFI network performs horribly.
    I have a 150 meg per sec download internet connection or better and on my hardwired iMac it flies. On the WIFI part though it's dreadful. The MacBook Air may run at 20 to 30 meg per sec and the iPad and iPhone much worse.
    I've talked to Apple extensively only to find myself with a third base station in a small condo of 1100 sq ft. I'm finding this very frustrating as they've had me test this thing this way to Friday and it's driving me crazy.

    Hi Shawn,
    Thanks. This i very useful information. It is extended WIFI with two Airport Base stations providing the extension one specifically designed for air tune. There are probably about 8 to 9 devices on the network.
    My speeds on the iMac wired Ethernet can hit about 250 mbs download from my ISP. My  WIFI though sounds like its in your range as extended the MacBook Air is doing about 22 to 35 mbs, the iPad is the most pathetic at about 5mbs down and relatively  the same up and the iphone actually maybe a bit better at twice that performance. Would that make sense.
    It's interesting what you say about mulitple hops. I only added in that third base station as Apple wanted me to try an alternate Airport Express to see if that was the issue and it wasn't. I was just too disinclined to return the third one so I added it to the network so both AE's are running in extended mode. When I had joined with only two base stations, oddly enough the MacBook Air would scream but the iPad and iPhone worked in reverse and crawled. So Apple told me they should be extended. I just added the third in as extended.
    Anwyay Shawn, potentially I might be running as expected which is odd in that I have never heard this from Apple. It's just all this trouble shooting to accomplish nothing.
    Finally, other than the iMac, which I do work at 80% of the time, I wonder if having such a high performance internet service makes sense. I'm curious what your thoughts are on that. The service I have is:
         - Rogers Ultimate which does include a modem with WIFI
              - 150 mbs down 10 mbs up
              - unlimited bandwidth
    Thanks Shawn

    Macbooks never had HDMI ports so you will need to purchase a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. For HDMI, any brand will do. Get the cheapest you can find because they are all the same.
    It's actually a Mini DisplayPort, so you'll want that type of plug on one end. Also, the cheapest is not always the best because it is possible to make a bad or outdated HDMI cable; if it's important that you have proper support for the latest HDMI standards with a high-end home theater you want to make sure the cable actually can do it. Monoprice.com has a couple of types of HDMI cables and even the better ones are still cheap.

  • What cover should I get for new iPhone 4?

    I'm getting my aunt an 8GB iphone 4 as a gift and am trying to figure out what version of screen/body protectors should I get? Will the new iPhone 4 for Verizon be the same as the Verizon 16 & 32 GB iPhone 4's? Please help.

    I have the iphone 4 incase slip case. I was against cases, but since I dock my iphone to charge it, this worked really well. It's also very descrete looking.
    I've also heard otterbox makes some really nice high end cases. They are pricey and bulky but do the job.
    There is also the 12south book book case that acts as a car holder and case and looks like a leather book. This looked appealing since I do read with my iphone a lot but it was big and seemed more for a purse or counter then my pocket. I could see getting it for an ipod touch.
