Transferring Halo Trial

[Smythe]

I meant to say "games", as in if there are 20 people playing Halo: Combat Evolved Demo, than there are 100 people playing Halo: Combat Evolved Trial.

Is this using the average over the course of the full 24 hours, then over a week? then averaging that out over a month? then a year?
If no, then you're data is wrong because of time differences and major populations playing trial/demo at a certain time.

What??? I wasn't trying to hate on Apple. I'm just saying that sometimes if I wake up at 3:00 and can't fall asleep I might play Halo: Combat Evolved Demo for 10 minuets, and there might be like 5 or 10 servers running. But on Halo Trial, there are always at LEAST 3 pages worth of servers.

Wat.

I was being a derp and trying to get you to do a massive survey of halo demo/trial, i never said anything about you hating on apple.

That, and the fact that more people own a Mac than a PC.

That's bollocks and refer to Noodle.

That, and the fact that more people own a Mac than a PC.

Oh my fucking god, shut the fuck up and get the fuck out of here now you pathetic moron.

Again, I wasn't trying to hate. It is just a fact that more people own a PC. The reason for that is because PCs are less expensive. I lake Apple just as much as you do.

It could also be that PCs are more expendable than Macs, in terms of resources. That would follow the idea that they are cheaper than Macs. The issue is not which computer system is more popular or cheaper, but how many resources people are willing to spend on a particular system towards gaming.

For example, I was hosting some "dedicated servers" from my computer at home, but the cost electricity to run this computer 24/7 and the wear on the computer would have been prohibitive. The OS could handle many many simultaneous rooms (I was hosting about 10-12 concurrently), and the question was only whether it was worth it to me to keep the computer running for so long without rest. I decided it wasn't worth that cost.
