The King of What?

Today, while searching around in my foxtel, i've stumbled to a video game documentary called the King of Kong. I've heard from NoobToob that this is one of the best documentarys around since the theme is about Donkey Kong. To give a quick gist of it, this school teacher Steve Wiebe wanted to beat the high score in Donkey Kong set by Billy Mitchel, who also got the perfect score in Pac-man. This documentary is mainly about Steve's trials and tribulations while trying to achieve his goal. This documentary is a must see. Even if you dont play games, this is one hell of a ride coming from a documentary.



So after watchin the movie, I hopped in the net and downloaded the rom of Donkey Kong thinking, "How hard can it be?" Dood it's hard. So hard that i cant even pass level 3. I could pass it if i had more patience but for now, Donkey can have the princess. Well, mad props for Steve for goin up to Billy for taking his title briefly. Makes me wanna think if i try to set a high score in some of the games i play. Maybe Pac-Man Championship Edition maybe ( >_>)

Anyway, watch the King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters~! It's awesome~!
