Watching someone grind Donkey Kong JR through the night isn't exactly exciting... incredible... but not exciting.

Congrads Steve, seen your recent doc. vs mitchell high score donkey kong jr. and I think your the real champ, for someone to do it in public with people standing behind and and a film crew was awesome....not to send in a tape that could be tarnished is not the way to go....I know that that "jesus" billy fellow is scared to challenge u one on one anywhere, anytime in this universe....
keep up the good work and your
a good man with a good wife
and family...
ps your sincere and dont carry yourself like a highclass moron - bm

Badass. We just watched the documentary a few days ago and everyone was cheering for him followed by boos towards Billy Mitchell (that's his name right?). One of these days the two of them need to duke it out side-by-side, none of these tapes and crap that keep being sent in.

It's come to pass that KoK is a slightly skewed version of actual events (look for behind the scenes documentary stuff on youtube about the movie), since the movie BM and SW are pretty close and I think BM is the current DK record holder again, it's switched hands a couple times since the movie.

Did you read the article in which he was portrayed poorly? The editors made him seem like an asshole, but he's not. He's actually pretty cool, just upset that someone would go as far to humiliate him in a major motion film.
Kinda sad.

Was the video of him sitting at the table acting like a jerk fake or something? They had entire segments of him being a clown that could not be possibly taken out of context. Sure, I could believe they may have cut scenes of him more to make him out worse than he was, but there are some solid shots of him talking non-stop being a total kook.

I'm happy for Steve, that he got the new world record. After playing Donkey Kong and all of it's variants for a while, these scores and the players that achieve them are just surreal.

For all of you that are Steve Wiebe fans and Mitchell haters, please please please do not base that solely on the "documentary" King of Kong. If that's your opinion after reading unbiased commentary from Mitchell regarding the film, as well as many others such as Walter Day and Robert Mruczek, then I'd consider it well informed. Otherwise, it's based on nothing more than a movie obviously biased against Mitchell and for Wiebe.

Biased or not, that guy sucked big time. Nothing he could say bar a full length movie dedicated to how he was framed as being a douchebag would let me believe that guy was alright. Seriously big dildo smuggler.

"If that's your opinion after reading unbiased commentary from Mitchell"

How is a guy defending himself not biased?

Mitchell has Walter Day in his pocket too so anything he says is just as trustworthy.

Go read this:

Editing can only go so far to make you appear to be something you are not. Mitchell is clearly an egotistical douche.

That's a valid point, and it was poor wording on my part.

And thanks for that link, I'll probably read through Jason Scott's analysis tomorrow. I'm way too tired to process it right now.
