Steve Wiebe sets Donkey Kong Jr. world record
29
Steve Wiebe, the lovable protagonist from the documentary The King of Kong, recently became too impatient to wait until E3 to crush a classic gaming high score. Twin Galaxies, the unofficial scorekeepers of global gaming records recently announced that Wiebe had set a new high score of 1,139,800 for Donkey Kong Jr., surpassing the previous record of 1,033,000 set by Ike Hall. Meanwhile, our high score on Donkey Kong Jr. Math goes untouched, as it has remained for nearly two decades. Bring it on, teacher man.

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.

How is a guy defending himself not biased?
Mitchell has Walter Day in his pocket too so anything he says is just as trustworthy.

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