Well, if you have a Mac with an Intel processor and decent video card, you can run Windows via Boot Camp. Otherwise, you'll have to get a job and buy a gaming PC.

You can use wine on a mac. Though it will be slower.

Wine is pretty laggy, esp with FPS on a Mac. You're best bet is to bootcamp it.

While you probably know now that Steam and a some of Valve's source games are now on mac.Garry's Mod will be released on the mac. I made the same mistake as you and was able to run steam and garrys mod on my mac with crossover games. Don't forget you need one other source game like team fortress 2 to be played at least once to use garrys mod properly. Thankfully I won't have to buy Garrys mod again since I bought the pc version already. If you want to check on the progress Garrys Blog at www.garry.tv, and judging by the progress, I expect Garrys mod to run on mac in two months or less. Most likely less than two months, but I overshoot stuff like this on purpose.

Mac users... And just a thought - if I get modded for this some GIF's in sigs are more offensive against macs.
