Found Footage: Mac Gaming 101
Have you been wondering “where are all the Mac games?” Well, ChannelFlip (our newest favorite Mac-related podcast) has been asking the same question. In their latest episode, Mac Gaming 101, they take many points on the topic and explain why Mac users wait longer for ports of games.
You may recall last Mat’s post last night about Blizzard; if only other gaming companies would do the same thing. You may also remember WWDC ‘07, when many game companies (including EA) promised PC/Mac releases on the same day — while they have almost held up their promise, it still leaves us wanting more.

Wowhead Warcraft database releases OS X client
Our friends at WoW Insider (disclaimer: I’m a lead blogger over there) have good news for Mac World of Warcraft players who want to support one of their favorite sites. Wowhead, which is one of the premium online databases of all the items, quests, and NPCs there are to find in the game, has released a Mac client for their info-gathering spiders. Basically, you start up their app while you play the game, and it automatically pulls info to populate the database.
To answer your question, no, you don’t get anything from gathering information for them, save for the pleasure of knowing that you’re helping to support and fill a popular database (that most WoW players have probably used for free before).
But if you’re a Mac player who’s used Wowhead in the past and wouldn’t mind helping them out, here’s your chance. The client is a quick free download from their site.
