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

I have to tell this story.

I patron Billy's bar which his sister really owns and he sort of works in there. They own two of them called Rickey's and the one in Pembroke Pines is pretty nice, mostly locals and a lot of white trash. What constitues white trash? Parents that sit their kids at the bar while they drink, that usually is step 1 in my book. I've watched plenty of games there on Sundays though because the booze is really cheap and they do have great chicken wings.

1. The hot sauce that he supposively sells...they have it at Ricky's and there are two kinds. The first is simply a Louisiana Hot Sauce that they slap the Rickey's label on the bottle, I'm not kidding. The second is a habanero sauce that is pretty GD hot but again it looks like they slap their label over another sauce, that's not uncommon believe it or not.

2. Billy likes to cook breakfast on Sat and especially Sunday. He routinely will come out of the kitchen in gym shorts that look like the kind issued in the 1970s, really short and kind of make you uncomfortable to even look at. I try not to eat anything during the times he is in the kitchen.

3. They have a Ms Pac Man machine and I was in the bar a couple weeks ago and I write a note and taped it to the machine because I know Billy will play that game when he is done cooking on the weekend, he always does and really he is not that good at MS PM, so I wrote on there specifically "Hey Billy, when are you going to break the record again?" Bartender in there hates his guts and made sure the little note stayed taped to the video game until he could read it.

That's all I got and I know that was a boring story for most of you. I actually passed around a copy of the King of Kong to most of the staff that works there, they didn't even know it existed or what Billy's background was...the past couple years have been a lot more fun in there with everyone in on the joke and or movie.
Pics or GTFO
I promise when football season starts that I'll try and get him to pose for a picture after he finishes cooking breakfast for the bar, it's hysterical but he doesn't seem to like to pose for pics unless he has that stupid Maroone dress shirt on. He loos like the picture they show, still has a mullet.

This is way better than anything you've ever posted in the Shark Pool.
 
Maybe this has been talked about before, but the wife made me watch Four Christmases this weekend, and I was shocked to see a non-speaking Steve Wiebe as "Jim", the husband of Reese Witherspoon's sister.

Cant believe I never saw this. Awesome story. :goodposting: Its almost inconceivable to me though that people he works with dont know his background. Seems like the kind of guy that would be constantly talking about it. Cant wait for the pics in the gym shorts!

Update?
 
More detailed story.

Steve Wiebe, the school teacher gamer from Redmond, WA who gained fame in the cult favorite The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, has once again climbed to the top of the Donkey Kong ranks.

Just announced by official gaming scorekeeping organization Twin Galaxies, Wiebe has reclaimed the Donkey Kong World Record with a score of 1,064,500 points, edging out his movie rival Billy Mitchell, who had regained the record from New York's Dr. Hank Chien on July 31.

Wiebe last held the Donkey Kong record in 2007, only to be beaten back by Mitchell at a live event months later. The record stood there until Chien knocked off Mitchell this year, the first of three times in 2010 the record has changed hands.

"It's hard to believe that I've been battling for this record for over 10 years now," Wiebe stated to Denton Arcade Game Examiner. "I've always been competitive in whatever I do, so it's natural to want to keep at it. I also owe a lot to all the people that have encouraged me along the way to stay with it. I felt I owed it to those who have sent positive messages of support over the years."

Many in and around the competitive community seemed to consider Dr. Chien the top contender to Mitchell's latest Donkey Kong crown rather than Wiebe.

"Hank Chien is a great person and DK player, so I also feel that he's capable of taking the title at anytime," said Wiebe. "I think when I came up short of the record at several live events, many people thought that I just didn't have it in me anymore. Getting the record back definitely feels good."

Regaining the record had been a long-time goal of Wiebe's, who had used this past summer on a quest to return to the top.

"Being a school teacher, I had been going after the record all summer, which is about a two month period of being off from school," stated Wiebe. "Basically, I played a game a day and believed it would happen sooner or later. Right around the Fourth of July, I got an inner ear viral infection that caused some vertigo, which is still affecting me a little today. I'm glad I was able to play through it. The day I got the record was essentially the last day of my summer break before returning to school, so it was down to the wire. I remember restarting over about five or six times and then getting a great start that finally led to the record."

Mitchell made headlines for reclaiming the Donkey Kong record along with the Donkey Kong Junior record back-to-back. A short time before Wiebe's return score, Mitchell lost the Donkey Kong Junior record back to former champion Mark Kiehl, who twice took the same record from Wiebe.

"Mark Kiehl is an amazing DK Junior player," Wiebe said. "I was able to talk to him a little bit in Iowa, and he's a great person as well. He's certainly pushing the score pretty high, so getting the DK Junior record will take some great play if I'm to get it. I eventually plan to get back to playing Junior, but I'm not sure when that will be yet."

Wiebe credits continued support for his regaining of the record.

"I'd like to thank all the people that have given me motivation to keep pursuing the record. Thanks to Twin Galaxies for their support of the gaming hobby, and I particularly want to thank my wife, Nicole, for putting up with all this for 10 years."

The attention given to Donkey Kong in recent years has pushed many players to pursue the record.

"I'm not surprised at all that the DK title has frequently changed hands of late," Wiebe continued. "I knew Billy would resurface and I've never let go of trying to recapture the record myself. There are a lot more DK kill screen players out there now, so the competition is getting pretty tough. I fully expect the title to keep changing hands until someone knocks it out of the park."

Among many contenders, Wiebe expects a return of his movie rival as well.

"I definitley see Billy coming back and I would be very surprised if he didn't. I don't know where or when Billy will return, but I'm counting on it."

Anyone seen the documentary High Score? Not as good as KoK, it's about a guy who tries to break the Missile Command high score. Most of the problems he encounters are due to the machines resetting, as it takes almost a full day of constant play to achieve the record. I think DK only takes a few hours to break that record.

 
That picture is hillarious. The bottle is nothing more than Louisiana hot sauce with the Rickey label slapped across it.He's been banned from the Pembroke Pines restaurant/bar or I would have had a picture already.
:lmao:
He's been banned from the bar his sister owns?
I'll be more specific.

WHY is he banned?

Yes. The staff hates his guts whenever he comes into the restaurant and most of the staff have been there for years. The sister is a piece of work too, dabbles in politics quite a bit but she is somewhat normal.In order to not have a mutiny they banned him from the Ricky's in Pembroke Pines.

So when are the Twin Galaxies guys going to go over to his house, seize the circuit board, and disqualify him from having the record?

Just stood behind Billy Mitchell in line at the Sbarro-type pizza place at the Fort Lauderdale airport. Could not for the life of me figure out why he looked familiar until I sat down and he was already gone. Searched the entire terminal for him to get a pic with no luck. SOOOO pissed.

You're a disappointment to the entire FFA.

 
These days points don’t matter in video games. The majority of new games no longer track them. It’s all about speed running.

 
What kind of DK record holder doesn’t even own the real PCB? MAME....get the #### outa here hot sauce

 
Not only were all of our 80's athletes cheating, our best gamers are cheats now too!!!  He should also be banned from wearing an American flag tie ever again!

Anybody who watched the documentary knew Billy Mitchell cheated, i.e., VHS tape glitching. He was sleazy. Glad they have the evidence to back it up now. Pathetic. 

Wiebe is a much cooler record holder and genuine. Nice to see him vindicated.
