I like apple cider. I drink it whenever the weather turns nippy, and I sometimes even long for it in the summer. The rest of the summer I drink hard cider, preferably from BC Growers out of British Columbia. But the best cider right now is Cider Portability Engine the tool that is allowing developers to bring their PC games to Mac. This now includes League of Legends, the free-to-play MMO. It's not a game I've played yet (are there more MMO's than real games yet), but it does seem fairly popular. Plus, free is always the right price.
