Games / Any way to run Terraria and maybe Steam on a powerpc mac?

« on: September 03, 2011, 08:38:09 AM »

Hello.
I would like to be able to play Terraria with my little sister. The only computers we have  to our use is my laptop and my big chunky powerpc (this means no intel) emac. It has hardly any hd space so I can't really use a windows emulator to partion some of the memory. I would be buying Terraria again if this works so don't say it's piracy because it isn't. So is there any way to get Terraria on it or should I just wait for ages till I get a new computer?

Games / Junk Jack - Terraria Like iOS Game

« on: September 01, 2011, 02:57:12 PM »

Junk Jack is a game being developed for iOS coming somewhere in September by Pixbits. It has taken inspiration from games like Minecraft and more so, Terraria. So far an iPad version is not in development neither a PC version but they may be coming soon after the inital release date. Also as of now there is more multiplayer but Pixbits say there probably will be someday.

You play as a mining smoker, Junk Jack who mines, builds and crafts things to survive in the open world of your iPhone/iPod Touch!

Off Topic / Help with New Computer

« on: August 14, 2011, 09:47:55 AM »

Hello forums.
Ages ago I asked for some help to get a new computer.
The results were okay but I need more.
You see for christmas I am getting a new computer. My dad said I should pick one early though. I need your help picking. I want it to be able to run a decent amount of games, Portal 2, TF2, Sims 3, be able to film on blockland and garrys mod with fraps. I want it to able to run decent games but nothing to fancy. The best I can get for my budget.

I need a computer (durr) a monitor and a keyboard. I already have a mouse and really guys, I only want a cheap £10 keyboard, not a high tech one.. I have £500. THAT IS POUNDS. Not euros. Not dollars. Pounds. This also means I have to able to order it from the UK.
It MUST be pre-built, no questions asked. I will I'm afraid try to ignore the posts that just say 'build one'. I can't. Ok?
So forums, can you help me find the best computer I can get for that please? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Also, it must come with an OS. Preferably Windows 7.

Off Topic / Is it bad I don't like talking to my friends via webcam/mic?

« on: August 14, 2011, 08:16:30 AM »

You see my friends (IRL) always call me on MSN/Steam/XBLA to mic/webcam chat and I always reject. I don't know why I just find it uncomfortable talking to anyone I'm not related (I can talk to family fine on it) to on mic/webcam. The feeling that they can just hear and sometimes see everything you do. Am I weird for feeling this or is it normal?

Off Topic / 6 Hour Car Ride - Getting A Puppy!

« on: July 25, 2011, 11:49:59 AM »

So the day after tomorrow I'll be going on a six hour car ride. On Saturday I'll be coming back on a longer car ride with one of these (that the actual picture of the litter.)



It's a female paterdale-terrier puppy that we have named 'Guddle'. Aren't they cute?

Anyway, I need help with stuff to do in the car.
I'll be bringing my laptop, iPod Touch and DS. I'm getting Star Wars Battlefront for the DS on the day (lol) so that will keep me busy for a while, I'll sleep for a bit and stuff too. What I need is stuff like FREE downloadable PC games and maybe a free app or two but mostly PC games (free ones). I won't have internet access other than on my phone which only does text internet (like the forums c:). Also multiplayer splitscreen or singlescreen for two people is a big have. My little sister needs to be entrrtained too lol.

Discuss dogs, free games and long journeys, go!

Games / Need a good XBLA game!

« on: July 13, 2011, 11:19:21 AM »

Ok so I have 560 mspoints left and don't know what to get. Help me please.
Please don't suggest Geo wars or UNO. I've heard too much of those two lol. Also, I'm 12 so that means no 16+/M gory/swearing games. (if it has a bit of blood its ok though)
Thank you. :D

EDIT: Preferably multiplayer but w/e.

Games / A Quick Question about Sven Coop

« on: July 03, 2011, 03:10:51 PM »

I know it's weird to be paranoid but when installing Sven Coop for HL is it normal that the system 32 command centre pops and starts doing commands like 'inflating texturenamehere'? Once again it's weird to be paranoid, I know I just want to make sure nothing weird is up.

I just got a message from Xbox Live saying that Sky Player is going to be down tomorrow from 0:00 to 7:00 (I think that's the right time/date) for a big update. Anyone know anything about this?

I just watched this film on Saturday and it's already my favourite film. Ever. I would explain it but I'd probably just get a slap for being so crazy. Apparently it was also a series which I have yet to watch. I'm downloading it from iTunes right now! :D

Recently I've been playing TF2 on my 360 a lot. I was wondering if there was anyone on these forums I could play with online? Please, PC TF2 players, don't say how superior your version is. This is a place to discuss it on the 360. Thanks.
