What would the name of this little steam chibi called? Steamac-tan? Steam-chan? maybe the Bigger one could be Steam-tan and the smaller would be Steam-chan.

I'm picturing Steam-chibi gnawing her way up American Express and Mastercard's legs, eventually.

interesting that there are 204 mac games on steam and only 153 pc games on origin (1488 pc games on steam for reference)

If there was a little steam vampire girl trying to sap my wallet, i'd let her have a nibble cause she so cute.

As a long-time-Mac-user-who-recently-bought-a-windows-tower-because-the-video-card-in-his-machine-was-ancient, I totally miss using OS X.

Would totally give up all the Skyrims to not have to deal with Windows 7. Probably going to switch back next time it's time to buy a computer.

D'aww. I'ma a feed her a penny :3

Watch this. Share it. Save the Interwebs.

I wanna keep Nerfnow and my other favorite sites up. I hope you do too.

Is this subtly referring to the fact that macs users are hipsters and thus have hipster credit cards?

"YOU GOAN GET TAKEN HOME" works too, just saying.

'cause I want one :3

I feel really dumb, how did I miss Station Orion. My 4x wishes were answered two freaking months ago!

@Andrew Hall: I used to be a Mac user, and I can tell you that none of those three points are true anymore. Objective-C is possibly the worst language I've ever had to deal with, a computer is only as organized as its owner, and my Windows laptop has crashed fewer times than my MacBook did.

D'aww~~

*catalogue of steam games is small

I sense Apple-bashing is afoo-OH MY GOD that is the most adorable steam sale I've ever seen *o*
I've been enjoying the sale. While the Mac catalogue of steam games, it does include some of the best games steam has to offer, especially since Super Meat Boy and Beat Hazard were FINALLY ported.

Thank god for Bootcamp eh? Also has the fun bonus of I can't start playing Skyrim while I'm working without a restart so I tend to take less 6 hour breaks.

@Andrew Hall: lol. Careful, your fanboyism is showing.

in4b Macs v Windows v Linux v Something irrelevant

A little dungeon-crawl with some Christmas stuff. Enjoy.

How cute!

hau~ kawaii~ omochikaeri~

Sadly accurate. I literally went through the catalog and bought every Mac game that I'm interested in. Total cost was maybe $75. Not exactly bank-breaking. There's maybe twenty dollars more stuff I might buy in expansion packs if I like the games, but overall? Pretty cheap.

all i can think about is the little girl from 'Monsters Inc' going "rawr! rawr!"

BOOTCAMP

Although what I'm really waiting for is for someone to figure out that smartphones (et all) would be killer for 4x games. Seriously, whereTF is Master of Orion, Deadlock, and others.

@Arian Chev: Also a Mac user, it's not the porting, it was the shift to Intel x86 chips that did it. If one is bold you can play something as demanding as Skyrim the same way many Linuxers do. Although be ready for a shift to ARM when it goes 64-bit.

Macs are, in general, and always have been, 1) easier to program for, 2) better organized, and 3) more reliable than Windows PC's.

So why do PCs rule the world?

Because Jobs abandoned gaming in the 1980's, so gaming abandoned Apple.

If you think about it, the Humble Indie Bundles have actually been really good at increasing the Mac Steam library, since every game in a Bundle is (has to be?) cross-compatible, and you get a Steam key when you buy a Bundle.

Good luck with games that have high minimum specs, though.

@Nerfnow: To reenforce: As the author once said, Size = library (and since this is NerfNow, we all know what "size" refers to)

I guess the number of Mac-capable Steam games means we have gone past "chest enhancements" down into age itself...

the first game I bought on the steam sale was Orcs must Die! but I was bereft to learn that it was PC only..... $3 1/2 bucks I'm not getting back. B(

Mac users sure have fun with the whole 5 games they can play.

Does this remind anyone else of Washington?

@Einhander: It's actually her little sister.

As a mac user I want to point out that because we figured out how to port games there is alot more mac games now then there were before. This is recent technology so there is still lil news about it but alot of PC games actually have the Mac version in the same disks. Sims 3 and Settlers 7 prove it

Is that a loli Steam-tan?! I'm taking her home with me!

I'm a Mac Gamer.

I run all my games on boot camp though :)

Little steam....so adorable...must...resist...cuddle urge...

i am a mac gamer... and i play a lot of civilization >_>
