Dippindots:
My friend owns a brand new mac book pro and he says it heats up like crazy.
Sirrus:
huh. So it's 1/5 less likely to crash?
That doesn't matter much to me, seeing as Portal has NEVER CRASHED FOR ME.

It says it's 1/5th more likely to crash than windows and yet everyone is saying its better?
"Portal (with the same code base across platforms) is one fifth as likely to crash on a Mac than on Windows."
One fifth as likely to crash = %20 higher chance of crashing = worse?
--- End quote ---
What? 1/5 as likely means that it's 20% as likely, not more likely. 20% more likely would be 120% as likely.
Moybus:
I've played Portal on a Windows and MacOS machine, and it runs better or Windows. I haven't noticed anything speed-wise, but Mac has enlarged/low res particles that look really weird. We also have 0 AA.
D3ATH:
Only source game ever crashed for me is GMOD, and even then it's add-ons fault.
