There is a Donkey Kong Kill Screen coming up... (1 Viewer)

Brian Kuh's Wikipedia link

He retired in 2005 from American Marine Bank [1]at age 30 – he was a bank comptroller in New York City – so he could move to Weirs Beach and go to Funspot every day to pursue video game world records full time. In 2007, he broke 16 different world records on the first day of the annual Funspot tournament. At noon on the first day of this competition, he has already broken 10 world records; by 3 p.m., he has broken 17, surpassing his own record for the most video game world records made in a single day. He celebrates by playing more video games and continuing to confound the world as to how he is able to lead such a life without working.

:shrug: ETA: When I looked at Kuh's Wikipedia entry last week, I swore there was a reference to his "There is a Donkey Kong kill screen coming up" quote. It must have been deleted since. :shrug:

Guy defines "loser."
 
Great, great movie. I lost it when he said the Centipede quote. These people are fascinating. If I ever get the chance, I want to go to one of these Funspot get-togethers.

I've played a little "BurgerTime" in my day.

 
Allegedy Wiebe is going for the record tonight at the Venetian in Vegas. It appears his recorded submitted record was somehow beaten by Billy. I don't trust this guy.

March 4, 2008 -- Las Vegas, NV -- Noted Donkey Kong competitor, Steve Wiebe, of Redmond, Washington, rolls up his sleeves at The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas on the night of March 5th and tries to make history by taking back the highly-coveted Donkey Kong Crown.

Right now, Steve and the equally-as-famous Billy Mitchell, are running neck-and-neck on the high-score circuit, with Billy currently in the lead with 1,050,200 points to Steve's 1,049,100 points. With only 1,100 points separating them, Steve poses a serious threat to take back the world title.

And, in the referee's outfit, performing Master of Ceremonies duties, is Walter Day, Twin Galaxies' Chief Evangelist, who will monitor Steve's record-breaking attempt while ensuring that the strictest Twin Galaxies Tournament Settings are enforced.

There were other key facts left out of the movie which really paints the situation much more black and white than it really is. I'm not sticking up for Billy Mitchell (god, this is already such a :eek: post), but don't necessarily take everything you see in the movie as gospel.The Wikipedia link gives a good synopsis of the discrepancies.

The Venetian should hire Brian Kuh to walk around with a camera crew "recruiting" people on the strip to come inside and check out the record attempt. Of course his charisma and video game insights would be on full display. Put it on Conan or Kimmel. :moneybag:
 
Dorkon.....errr....Darkon was on IFC this morning (and now on my DVR). The torrent is floating around out there.....I saw five minutes of this flick and started to laugh hard.

I am not sure I even get this channel. Though i see it On Demand. Hopefully I'll be able to see this, looks classic.
 
Just saw this last night again! Love it!!!

Mr. Awesome: Everything would've fell right into place, but he forgot about one thing: About me convincing Steve Wiebe not to be a chump, talking him out of chumpatizing himself

 
I'm going to a costume birthday party on Saturday night where we have to dress up as a celebrity. Not too excited about this. I'm thinking of going as Billy Mitchell.

dont forget the "USA" tie along with the 80's hair and bottle of hot sauce! :shrug:

The USA tie will be my main prop. I started growing a beard last week to leave myself some options for the party (mustachioed celeb, bearded celeb, goateed celeb, etc.). The hair will be a problem. Plus, I think that guy's a foot taller than me. I expect to arrive to puzzled looks.
