And You Thought You Were Going To Summer Camp!

Sure, Apple has sent the world into a tizzy with their new Boot Camp software, allowing Mac users with Intel based machines to run Windows. It’s astounding news, and when you see it in action, you will say WOW – but I’m not here to talk about the business ramifications.

I’m here to talk about the other electronic Boot Camp.

In my 24 years as a gamer, there were times when I would go into an arcade and in the course of my visit, find some game I’d never even heard of that just flat out grabbed hold of my very being. There would either never be a home version of this game, or it would completely suck. The arcade cabinet itself would inevitably disappear a week or two later, and never be seen again.

Boot Camp – a 1987 Konami arcade game – was one of those games. Read on, and learn about what may be the archetype game for Konami’s gameplay in the 1980’s.

The End Of The Tour For Two Catalonians, Five Brits, A Jew, A Proddy, And A Catholic

Les Aus and the Recorder & Drum Stick Experiment

The Duke Spirit

Lost In A Song

Last night was the final stop on the tour containing [Les Aus](http://www.myspace.com/lesaus), [The Duke Spirit](http://www.dukespirit.com/), and [Ted Leo/Rx](http://www.tedleo.com/). It contained all the hallmarks of a great Ted Leo show – solid openers, hours upon hours of great music, amusing interludes, and everyone in the audience leaving with a warm glow.

(The title of this post, for those curious, is derived like this: Les Aus are two guys from Catalonia in Spain. The Duke Spirit are four guys and one girl, all from Britain. Ted, while discussing religion, said the band was representative of all religions – “jew, proddy, catholic” – to which Dave immediately stepped up to the mic and reminded the audience that they’re all culturally atheists.)

Tetris DS Friends Code

I’m buried under a pile of PSP games (MGA2, Syphon Filter, MMPU, Gripshift, Initial D, Daxter), but we did acquire the new Tetris DS release; despite my preference for [Quinn](http://www.stud.tu-ilmenau.de/~siha-in/quinn.html), here’s my friends code:
