Actually watched all of the vid apart from the credits ^^; One of the more interesting Mac vs PC vids. A million views on YouTube and over 6000 comments - most of it being "Macs are shit" and "PCs are shit" ^^; Original text from hikky below.The fight goes into the next round: Love the message on the PC at the end of the clip ^_^ Found it via the otaku.fm RSS-feed @ariaanime
awesome
= =;; the balls... ouch "upgrading to windows xp..." lol! which side are u on danny? XD XD
lol Mac, of course. :P *getting one soon*
Ya awesome and funny :D
Getting a mac is always something I dream about.
I agree, it is something to strive to at this point in my life. lol
Epic and Cool!! Really love it when the "PCs...Tranform" came up during the Fail-Safe Program was activated. LOLZ at the balls dropping part.
lol, this is awesome!! :D
I saw this few days ago. It's nice.
whilst upgrading to xp made the robot 'run' slightly faster, the pc transformer subsequently failed to dodge the mac shurikens because the avoidance manuvuers code weren't preloaded into memory in win xp. :p
xD Yah, SuperFetch ftw!
lol balls of steel!
This video is so cool~~ I use Mac @ work and work with PC @ home. I guess I'm just not used to what you could do and could not do on mac. But I would agree it's easy to use (regular daily usage) and less problematic then PC. But if you ask me what is going to be my next machine, it would be PC for sure....
I'm the opposite: PC @ work, Mac @ home (but I've got a PC too) so the debate on which is better is pretty much null for me. Both have their pros & cons, so if I need something that the other can't give, I just usually move computers hehe.
I agree. I mainly use mac but when I needed a notebook I decided on getting one with windows because it would solve the specific task that I got it for and I would get the ability to use both OSes. Today I use only a mac, but it can dualboot into windows since it's an intel mac. To put it simple: OSX has a better OS while windows has quite a lot of windows only software that I'm interested in. At least that's how I see it. There really is no "best" solution since even the best OS is worthless if it can't execute the software you need ^^
LOL @ Mac drop it's balls PC upgrading to Windows XP & the core turns red (Trans-Am?) Apple shuriken PWNED!
Lol it realy looks like a movie trailer
Btw. Where is Linux in this vid?
It's a battle of computers not OS's.
Then Windows should be in the video. Microsoft is a software company and Apple is primarily a hardware company.
Sorry I should have typed shouldn't. It must be this stupid Apple Keyboard. ^^;
Must have been what you said. Because Apple is BOTH hardware AND software, while Microsoft is just software. Trust me... Don't call anything from Apple stupid in front of a guy that used Apple since the Apple II days. ^^;;
Joke it was a joke. ^^ I too have been around since the Apple II days. I also remember when Microsoft was headquartered in an industrial park and their ads where found in the back of CP/M Journals. All joking aside Apple is not without its own failures... It is a good thing Steve Jobs returned and cleaned house.
WOW! this vido is awsome! nice 3D and a great idea! the part with the balls is halirious XD
the macs may have won the battle they certainly didn't win the war the PCs are coming lol
stay tuned for next episode where the PCs return home because people start to install antivirus and firewalls XD
Awww, was waiting for a message like "Downgrading from XP to Vista" and then it blows itself up... ;) Nicely made though, thumbs up. Balls of steel aren't always win i guess.
I love the logic of Mac wining by numbers.
Or they could have just ended it with the Mac shooting a wire into the PC and giving it a virus. :3
lol at the "pwnage.exe"
yes...i need that file on my laptop pwnage.exe ^^;
oO pwnage.exee is available since 2006 @ filefront! http://files.filefront.com/pwnageexe/;4645606;/fileinfo.html (>_<)
I'm tempted to download it & execute~~~
That is just awesome!
Awesome vid :D
I want Part 2! :D
Very cool video, loved the animation a lot. pc will always be the winner for me.
*stares i have nothing but praise for the guys who did this also, i am a pc!
you ARE a PC? Wow, that's a pretty clever script. I thought you were a human being ^^
I'm a PC! *wonders if you've seen the commercials*
I'm a PC! *wondering too*
...I have a t-shirt... >.< I was trying to convince my coworker to get a vanity plate with the slogan on it.
I have seen it and I think it's a silly commercial. Neither Apple or Microsoft cares enough for me to put those commercials on channels I can see though. To be honest I think Microsoft is behaving a bit childish by making such a commercial but I'm not sure what they should do instead. I just wish people wouldn't cosplay bad commercials >.<
Ah well. I'm glad there's actually some sort of marketing campaign now. Apple has been beating up MS for so long that it's become one big joke. Of course, no one goes after Apple's ads because they're considered golden... I just know one of the iPhone ads was pulled because it was largely misleading about how quick the phone and applications on it ran.
you knoq, i've never seen that many macs in a single office room before... therefore, I cry foul!!!
I have. Heck, the only place I really haven't seen any was at a place in Colorado. And the guy had a "I never used a Mac, therefor I hate them" mantra. -_-;;
I side with PC, because I like to play video games, and photoshop is not a game. =p
You side with PC because you never truly used a Mac. Heck, atop of it now being a hybrid, there are tons of games made for it. You just have to go to Fry's or the Apple Store mainly. ^^;;
Except that Apple is always behind the times with the gaming hardware to play the latest games. My NVIDIA GTX 280 SLIs are still nowhere to be found in any Apple configuration.
I'm not so sure about Photoshop not being a game. Someday trying to accomplish a project feels like I am playing one. ^o^
Photoshop isn't a game??? I always thought that photoshop was all about playing around with objects and that it would result in great fun XD
Upgrading to Windows XP.. LOL XP ftw.
wouldn't upgrading to XP make PCs shittier?
woah!!! why!!!! PC's are the most accessible computers in the world...why does he have to dieeeeeee?! anyway, it just need a little hardware hehehehe. XD
lol, great video. I'm definitely a Mac person. Much better OS and build quality.
EPIC WIN!!! brilliant ending~ the Mac Transformers are so gonna pwned by the Windows
Mac ftw~!!
lol UPgrading to Windows XP^^ Macs are better; I'm saving money for a Mac
"Give me Vicodin ...you're an idiot." "Bill Gates doesn't give a &@!$ about you." Priceless! Though it's a bit sad, everyone beats up on Windows. :(
I was waiting for the blue screen of death but it failed to show up. I once broke windows 98. It made a blue screen of death if I clicked on start or "my computer" and it did so every single time. Well I didn't break it... it did it on it's own. I installed 2 or 3 games and it wasn't used for anything else and it was always offline. All of a sudden it was quite dead.
Windows looks like a Covenant Elite, but the Macs are a pretty nice way to honor Optimus Prime. :P
Very cool… can't wait for the sequel.
Lol when the PC crashed I expected the blue screen of terror :P
Huh. Very nice mech design, actually - love the PC one particularly. I'm also rather impressed with how evenly they spread the...power? Victory? :P It's not all that biased, as these things usually are. You've got a Macbook that loses due the PC, who then gets owned by more Macs, but the creepy foreshadowing pretty much guarantees that those Macs are doomed.
Great stuff. It hat me glued to the screen.
Nice. Is there a next episode?
LOL awesome!
Meh, i'm still down with PC.
I tend to stick to non-overpriced electronics too :P
I don't know if Mac is over-priced, i don't care either, but around here Mac product ownership is just a fad. iPod owners have gotten annoying to the point where they brag about owning an iPod. iPod Touch doesn't help either. iPod touch owners have bashed me for owning a PSP and implying that it's for 'kids' when that's not even the case.
Naw another Mac user propaganda. Obviously the maker gives a hatred about PC. If they don't give a comeback for the PC, then rating the video is inappropriate. That's how low the PC looks like after great services it gave? -.-
I don't think its completly against PCs cause the Macs just outnumbered the PC, but if all PCs transform.. bye bye Apple^^
Numbers isn't everything. Just look at the war between the Zulus and the British Empire. The Zulus had the numbers and managed to overrun the British even though the British had guns.... then the British invested in machine guns and then they presumed that one man with a gun could beat 1000 Zulu warriors with spears.
But sometimes you can't win against a enemy that outnumbers you. For example WW2: The superior German technology wasn't enough to stop the Allied Forces because of their weight of numbers.
Great video. Seriously didn't expect much after watching the first 45 seconds.
The most amazing video I've seen this week. :D
Btw, has anyone looked at the guy's other videos? They're awesome!
Nice vid! Macs rule. PC's are for noobs.
PC's- Easy to use interface. Built for gaming mainly. Uses windows.Fairly cheap Mac's- Business oriented. Takes a while to know what does what. Less compatibility with software/home brews. EXPENSIVE!!! ... Judging by what I do with my computer I'll stick with the PC.
Actually mac is the one with the easy to use interface and I'm getting tired of hearing the expensive claim as they really aren't that expensive when you look at performance.
I'm not going to go into it in detail, but if you build your own PC's from scratch, Apples really are that much more expensive.
Personally, I liked the maturity of the PC owner. Because she bad mouths him for paying so much for a Mac, and she paid so little for her PC. And to be honest, I wonder if she would do the same with cars. Because she seems the type that would buy a VW Rabbit with the engine and other parts put in by a different company, and she had stuff she did not want or need. And that guy bought a new Toyota Prius, with everything put in by Toyota. X3
Agh it's organic Transformers >_< I guess it was pretty good still. I like how they used the Apple as a weapon ^^ I use mostly Macs at work, but a mix of both and stick with PC at home. It's really about the price. Much cheaper PCs, and my friend has a Mac but his OS is outdated, so to me that would be expensive to upgrade Macs too... So yeah, sticking with PCs for now until Apple can be more affordable.
lol that was pretty good and funny...
YAY! that macbook's got balls of STEEL! ;D ....since mine have the new unibody it probably has balls of SOLID ALUMINUM!! XD
I am pretty sure there are a lot more PC labs than Mac labs almost wherever you go...And what about the bootcamped Mac's? Which side are they on?
The Robots were actualy better actors.
Better for a PC not to fight against a bunch of Mac computers (in the Com lab..)
That was pretty cool although I had thought that it was going to put in some of the problems with both systems when they were doing it. What I find annoying though is that the Apple commercials bash Microsoft about the money spent advertising when I've only seen one microsoft commercial compared to the many Apple ones.
Apple is full of hypocrites. 'nuff said. That's what happens when you let Jobs run things instead of the Woz.
what if the macs were running VMware?
that's a really good question. I guess it would make the virtual machine transform into a transformer but since it's only software it wouldn't actually be able to do anything. It would just be software controlling a robot that's not real. Btw this is one of the good parts of virtulization. If it's controlled correctly you can mess up the virtual system with virus and stuff without affecting the real OS.
LOL, that's hilarious.
Personally I don't like how everyone assumes PCs can only run windows...
Definitely. Especially when you can run OS X on a PC platform. http://www.osx86project.org/
That was pretty funny. Plus Macs do get viruses. (Those Mac people are more blind that Evanalist Republicans)
I haven't had a single mac virus since I switched to OSX. I did have one in MacOS 8.1 or 8.5 though. There aren't any *known* mean mac viruses that attacks OSX at the moment. There are a few who tries to convince the user to give them the root password, but that's more like a trojan horse. Also I read that so far they have only been seen on 3D ecchi pages of unknown origin. People should be stupid to give root passwords to something like that :P While it's somewhat safe without antivirus right now (if you keep the root password to yourself), you never know what will happen tomorrow. The one virus I had almost slipped in unnoticed because I was told back then that macs don't get viruses (I found it because I noticed a strange file in the system that I thought shouldn't be there). Somehow I think of mac virus like the tale of the racing rabbit and the turtle. The rabbit is so sure that everything will work out because it's so easy for it that it forgets that it's not 100% sure of winning and by accident lets the turtle win the race because it didn't pay attention.
Not sure how the permissions are laid out on OSX, but I would reckon that if an exploit appeared in a process running under superuser, whether you're on a Mac or a PC won't matter. If Apple continues to lure users into a false sense of security, then they are setting themselves up for a major screw up. Imagine if an exploit appeared in Apple's login daemon (which probably runs under some privileged user). A bunch of ignorant Mac users are going to be wondering why their ISP is serving them notices for serving copyrighted content, while they are loyal iTunes users. You're right. It's only a matter of time.
awesome indeed ... although the "upgrade to XP" really cracks me up :))
I dont mind what i use as long as it works
Always wondered why there was so many electric motors in my computer, now I know =P Awesome vid.
Lol awesome! I'd laugh if it upgraded to Vista and then broke down with the blue screen of death. Lol
"Ouch" for those Mac balls. I will be waiting for the second part of this one.
haha this was funny, they can totally continue this. The Mac side seemed more megatron. Totally on PC's side.
Probably the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.
wow this is super cool! am gonna dig up more if any in the tube
Very nice! Seen so many good "transformer" amateur videos recently... and they are not easy to make. Only thing that ruins the mood on those videos are, like Danny wrote, the fanboys. It's also kinda sad how many people watch those videos that are obviously a joke, and interpret as absolute truth many things they see. I mean, don't get me wrong, I find it funny jokes about bsods, viruses, bugs, and "downgrading to Vista"... but it's turning into bias and misconception unfortunately. I'm kinda tired of seeing people criticizing Windows... specially Vista... without even trying it. I've even seen some people accusing Vista users that had good experiences (like myself) saying that we're lying, or "hired by Microsoft" or crap like that. I mean, I know lots of people will have horrible Vista experiences... I had it too before sp1. But you know, there are lots of softwares, oss, and hardware that are absolute crap at first, but eventually became good (like some gaming consoles). It's kinda sad how tons of people won't even give Vista another try just because of what they "heard" about it, or because of jokes and YouTube videos. Because I have to say, even though my first experience was horrible, my current experience so far (about a couple of months) is proving to be even smoother than XP. And considering I never had a single problem with XP since sp2, that's a lot... some games are running faster, and I love soome details on the interface... search tool, image previews, etc. Oh, and I'm running it on a laptop, before someone comes out to say I probably have a very powerful computer...
Cliffhanger ending? I loled at the balls dropping off part and also Steve Jobs' pictar on the apple shuriken ^^.
>most of it being "Macs are shit" and "PCs are shit" In my experience this is always like that if anyone starts a thread on a forum about anything related to macs, even if the forum in question is about something really different...
I lol'ed! The balls dropping off were hilarious (and the most painful!) I'm currently using Windows but I wanna use Mac as well. I know there's a way for a laptop/PC to run on both OS but I'm not really sure how x_x
omg.... this is simply marvelous~! cool stuffs~ :D
I don't hame Macs, simply I prefer a PC made by me, as I choose every component, for CPU to fans. Well, I hate stupid Mac users (they are too much, as they think Mac = stylish PC for trendy people).
Wow, that was cool....I want one :D
That's amazing. LOL at Mac dropping its "balls". And the failsafe screen at the end with the "PCs TRANSFORM" is simply priceless. Though I too was expecting the Blue Screen of Death (TM). OTOH, that failsafe screen reminded me a lot of Terminator, which leads me to wonder how cool (or awful) it would be if there was a video featuring various Terminator series that ran on Windows and Mac OS and fought each other. (There's already a cool parody video of Matrix being run on Windows. )
ha ha good find.
haha so neat, I wish I went into video animation sometimes ._.;; Macs are nice... too bad they can't really game like a PC. PC's are fun... too bad they like to crash. :p :p
MAC! XD
