Magic Boot Camp
Boot Camp [Apple] was recently released as a beta. It's slick! It's easy! And yes, it's only if you have one of the new ICBMs (Intel Chip-Based Macs). If you have an old G4 or G5, you don't get native Windows running on your box. I did a little testing of my 20" iMac (2GHz Intel Core Duo) and my main PC (Shuttle box with 3Ghz P4). The dual core smokes my old Windows box. OMGWTFBBQ!!!1 [UrbanDictionary] My Apple pwns my PC in its own arena!
I copied my Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion saved games to my ICBM and now enjoy a lovely widescreen, faster gameplay experience. I also tried out the Star Wars: Empire at War demo and it played well but didn't natively support widescreen, so the field was a bit stretched. The Apple MightyMouse is a terrible mouse for gaming. With a simulated two-button single button, there's no way to press both the left and right buttons at the same time--something crucial to PC gaming. I'll have to pick up another Logitech laser mouse for my Mac now.
I've also been voraciously watching all of the Cyril Takayama videos on YouTube. He's a French-Japanese, American-born street magician with tricks on par with David Blaine and Chris Angel. Truly amazing stuff. He also has an interesting Japanese accent. You can find many of his videos via a search for "japanese magic" Japanese Magic [YouTube].
Here's a video to whet the appetite, tho. I've watched this a gazillion times and it's still fun.
