Compooter and Kong

It would really be great if I had a new Mac laptop in time for next week's berfday activities. I think maybe I'm going to hit the Apple store tonight and chat up a sales weenie...

Last night I had the privelege of witnessing the fourth known kill screen ever achieved in Donkey Kong. Check out my video recording of the event. The Bon Vivant of Brooklyn blog will have some comprehensive coverage of premiere screenings of The King of Kong (starting this Friday in NYC at the IFC Center and AMC Empire Times Square).

I strongly, strongly recommend that you see this film. Review coming soon in the other blog!

Oh Golly
