An Update on The Witcher

So... I pulled the trigger and bought The Witcher on Steam. For my iMac.

Once I got used to the combat mechanic (which is actually pretty interesting), and the 5-year-old graphics, it was a blast!

However.... It's not a true Mac port. Essentially they threw the Windows version in a Wine wrapper, and sent it out like that. So... 56 minutes into my playtime, I encountered a Wine error. Three times.

/sigh

Unplayable. Much like Andy Carroll. (Sorry... it's too late for soccer humor)

Thankfully, I'm running Bootcamp, so I fired up Windows 7, and am in the process of downloading the game for Windows.

First of all, a huge kudos to Steam and the service it offers.

Secondly, this download cannot go fast enough.
