this was really good, its a documentary about one guys fight to beat the world record in the original Donkey Kong arcade, and the record holders fight to maintain his score. its a great underdog story, i don't think i've ever hated someone as much as the record holder, Billy Mitchell. he is the most pompous, pretentious douche you could ever imagine. some of it was filmed at Funspot which was really cool, apparently the Donkey Kong arcade there is one of the hardest ones ever made, at one point there is discussion about how it seems possessed. highly recommended.

Fuuuuuck Billy Mitchell.

This shit is on the instant queue for all you netflix / 360 people.

I've never been to Funspot I really wanna go. I prefer the old 2nd gen videogames most often

So, does the underdog win?

I found the movie very underwhelming. And pointless in the end, since Billy Mitchell has since reclaimed the number one spot.

this might be my fav documentary...

I hate Billy Mitchell.

Next week @ FUNSPOT in NH is the INTERNATIONAL CLASSIC ARCADE tourney, the same tourney the film was shot at in 07. And you can catch Steve Weibe attempt to get his title back,live on G4 on June 2nd @ E3!

Watched this yesterday and fucking loved it. Billy Mitchell is a fucking douche and I've never been so serious saying that about anyone, a fucking DOUCHE.

i wish i went to this so I could cock punch Bil Mitch

This movie was FANTASTIC. If I ever see Billy Mitchell at Funspot, I will use his balls as a skee-ball target.

i wonder if his hot sauce is any good

I remember watching some show on MTV back in the day about Billy Mitchell and his Pac-Man record. He, at the time, was making hot sauce and went into all the local grocery stores to turn all the labels forwards and move his shit in front of all the other hot sauce.

Not that it makes him a douche, but since he is already a mega-douche, it just seemed douchey.

Douche.

I think I read somewhere recently that Steve Weibe has the record again with some ridiculous score and it was done live so there's no disputing it.

Found an article about it:

Billy Mitchell FAIL.

according to Twin Galaxies, the record is held by neither Weibe or Mitchell...

The twin galaxies site is kind of weird. If you search donkey kong theres hundreds of different scores for all the different donkey games. Looks like Weibe is listed as high score for the original arcade version of Donkey Kong and #3 for Donkey Kong Junior.

shennanigans. Mitchell is a fraud. the dude who runs Funspot in this film used to come into my store when I worked in Newton and I'm pretty sure that super dork Brian Kur was with him once or twice.

Just watched this on Netflix.

Billy Mitchell needs to publicly executed via stoning. Fuck that guy, and his wife's huge fake tits.

I KNOW RIGHT! FUCK YO VIDEO TAPED SCORE IN THE ASS BILL MITCH, YOU ILLEGAL FACIN HOT SAUCIN MERCHANDISING CUNT.

NATURAL BORN WINNER
