Saw this on Slashdot, thought it was funny... You probably won't, but hey, start your own blog. :)


(The screen is white, two men stand, full view, in front of the camera. One is middle aged, and wearing a suit. The other is wearing jeans, a "Think Different" T-Shirt, and an iPod. The suited guy is holding a joystick, and making reflexive movements)

Suited Guy (PC): "Woah... out of the way... bang, gotcha! Hahah! Oh no. Oh no! Dudududududu! Ha! Who's your paternal-figure? Hey? Hey? Who's your paternal figure?"

Hip Young Guy (Mac): "Hey dude, whatcha doing?"

PC: "I'm playing a really awesome game. You play a secret agent, and you have to shoot the henchmen, and... hold on... woah! Ok, you want a turn?"

Mac: "Oh, come on! Surely you could be doing something productive, like, erm, burning DVDs? I can burn DVDs. Yeah! Make your own movies, it's cool"

PC: "Yeah, I did that once. Hold on... woah! Gotcha! Haha! Gotcha, what's behind the wall? Oh... hey, it's multiplayer if you want to join in."

Mac: "Oh, games. Aren't those what games consoles are for?"

PC: "Depends on the game. This is an mod someone did for Doom 5, so you'd never see it on a console. You just don't get that kind of innovation on closed platforms like consoles. Hold on, I got it! I got the papers! Now, how do I get out? Er..."

Mac: "You know, you ought to be sorting through the pictures on your digital camera which I can do really easily with iPh..."

PC: "Yeah, that'd be a real fun time. Real. Fun. Time. Yeah. Sure you don't want a game? Hold on... blam! Gotcha! Where the hell did he come from anyway? Ok, through this wall..."

Mac: "Oh no, games are such a waste of time. I'd rather do something productive like, erm, manage my iTunes collection. That's something I'm good at..."

PC: "Me too, you do know I run iTunes right? Aw come on, let your hair down a little. I thought I was supposed to be the stiff."

Mac: "No."

PC: "Wait... I think there's a hidden passage here... read it in a forum somewhere... oh yeah, next to the pot plant, got it, extra health, excellent. Anyway, why not? Why don't you want a go?"

Mac: "I don't want to talk about it."

PC: "What?"

Mac: "I said I just don't want to talk about it, ok? Ok?"

PC puts the joystick down for a moment: "You can't play games. That's what it is, right?"

Mac: "Right. Ok. So I can't play games. What's the big deal? Nobody plays games anyway."

PC: "Sure. Nobody does. Right. Yeah, just me. Just boring, suited, me. Not like I play more games than all the games consoles put together. Right."

PC falls on floor, rolling with laughter.

Mac: "Ok. OKAY! Now let me turn this photo slideshow and jingle I put together in Garageband into a DVD. Not a waste of time like playing games is."

Mac walks off in huff. PC picks up joystick and continues playing.

Fade to black:

"Apple Macintosh"

"The Computer That Can't Play Games"

"But That's Ok Because Nobody Plays Games Anyway"
