what is everyones favorite free games or just cool applications of any sort

http://www.adiumx.com
(Best IMing program I have used on any OS... period)

http://www.videolan.org
(Who doesn't love VLC when they don't have to deal with MKV subtitles?)

http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/
(Application/everything-launcher and action-doer... it will change the way you use your Mac if you let it)

http://www.perian.org
(This will make your Quicktime able to handle nearly anything you can think to throw at it)

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
(This will give your Quicktime the ability to play WMV videos, and it also installs a plugin so your browser can do them through Quicktime. Much better than the now pulled Windows Media Player.)

http://www.ffmpegx.com/
(This lets you convert any media file into just about anything else you want.)

And there are so many more I'm sure others will mention. For a list of some simple freeware games, check my post in the thread asking about Sudoku, Mahjong, etc.

You can try:

www.macupdate.com

www.macgamestore.com

www.gamehouse.com

Some of these sites offer games for a fee but you can also play some at their site for free.

The Macgamestore has the largest selection.

Have fun!

As posted above by Discerptor Quicksilver is amazing!!!! My all time favorite/most-used application free or otherwise.

Actually, I just remembered. This thread had everyone naming their favourite freeware, so it might be a good place to start.

[Discerptor]

This should be a good starting point.

Quicksilver download – if your downloaded file has a .bz2 extension, remove it instead of trying to expand it so your resulting file is QS.3800.dmg not QS.3800.dmg.bz2

Wow, I totally accidentally posted a link to the same thread twice because I was looking for this thread to find the link I had posted so I could post it in another thread. XD

Thanks for that quicksilver tip, i have been trying to download it for a couple of days and i had that extension and kept extracting it and then it wouldn't mount correctly. didn't know you just delete that extention.
