DONKEY KONG ANYONE?


Last week Nathan and I watched the coolest documentary. "King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" goes inside the world of competitive classic arcade gaming, while telling the story of two rivals, Steve Wiebe the underdog family man and Billy Mitchell the reigning champ of the arcade world. This documentary is filled with love, hate, drama, tragedy and alot of comedy. The things those gamers say are hilarious! Here's what one guy said about why he plays video games "I wanted the fame. I wanted the glory. I wanted all the pretty girls to come up and say 'Hi, I see you're really good at Centipede.'" This one is definitely worth watching.

Did he win the game on one quarter, a gallon of chocolate mike and an adult diaper?

No, only Skull could've achieved such a feet.

Wow. I never knew the world of "competitive classic arcade gaming" even existed. It conjures up images of very pale, unshaven, bug-eyed boys wearing clothes they dressed themselves in three days ago.

Oh so you've seen the movie?

If you don't achieve the score live it shouldn't count.
