City of Heroes recently came to the Mac OS X operating system and to celebrate publisher NCsoft released the above parody of Apple’s iconic "Mac versus PC" commercials.
Instead of John Hodgman’s lovable nebbish "PC" and Justin Long’s smug hipster cliché "Mac," the City of Heroes version offers two beings, each fitting the comic book hero and villain archetype to a "t."
Though the premise is a dull bit of advertising mimicry, the writing for both hero and villain is spot-on. Like Long’s "Mac" we know we’re supposed to like the upstanding, moral hero, but the villain, like "PC," is just too fun to be around.
