I remember a time when Amiga computers were the ones used for art (including video work). Now that's been transplanted by Apple's computers and software...but for my money there was nothing quite like working on an Amiga. Spend a bunch of hours editing video, then take a short break to play games, which often turned to a bunch of hours playing games...and then, well...crunch time with the editing to meet deadlines. I guess at least with the Mac I have no issues with spending time playing games when I should be spending editing stuff >_> Man...I kinda miss Amiga.

PocketGamer.. Same people who gave Payback a blasting review(5/10) talked a bunch of sh!t about the game, Apex designs, andeven **gasp** the Amiga! Seems to me Mr.Daniels could have given the interview to Mr.Patterson or Mr.Kim, at least TouchArcade seems to do a more thorough, unbiased job of informing us from a gamers perspective. Hmmmm....
