So what about we try something new around here?

You know my Mac gameplay videos. I've been doing them since forever. I started doing those to show people that games can run just fine on Mac. The videos are okay, but are they really useful? We know games can run on a Mac.Do I need to create a video about it?

Don't get me wrong, I won't stop making videos. I believe videos are the way to go. What better way to express how a game plays than actually show you?

But how to make them more useful? Enter this Arma 3 video.

This isn't revolutionary (and it's barely my first try), but I have included things such as a frame rates, specs and results. These should help you answer the real question you have. Can my Mac run it?

I can't try the game on exactly your Mac model, so this is the next best thing. Look at the results and my specs, and you'll have a good indication for your own hardware. I have other plans to make these benchmarks better, but:

My question to you is: What more tests or information can I include to make these videos more useful to you?
