It is a great and entertaining movie, but there do seem to be a lot of falsehoods in it in order to make the plot more cinematic, by many accounts.

Just watched this for the first time a couple of nights ago. Tremendously entertaining. I wonder how many of those guys are aspies.

A girl I work with made herself a FUCK BILLY MITCHELL tshirt. I tried to steal it but it is too tiny for my gigantic shoulders.

Watched Chasing Ghosts last night. It makes Walter Day seem even creepier than he does in Kong.
There's one point where he bags up his referee shirt and sends it to the Smithsonian for its "gaming collection", followed by a caption that the Smithsonian doesn't have a "gaming collection".

and then there's the whole Robert Mruczek part! that guy could be a long-lost Crumb brother.

Watching Chasing Ghosts right now, proof that King of Kong is 1000x better without whining crying-ass Steve Wiebe. This 1982 summit is as close as we'll ever get to a real life McPoyle family reunion.

lol the cameras have cut out
― Ant Attack.. (Ste), Tuesday, 2 June 2009 22:39 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes! He's really a joy to watch. The thing that bugged me a bit about the film was the fact there wasn't actually much footage of him just playing, so this is great.
― JimD, Tuesday, 2 June 2009 22:54 (fourteen years ago) link
look's like he's started yet again, for the fourth time, as there was a convenient power cut when he was having a great third game.
― Ant Attack.. (Ste), Tuesday, 2 June 2009 22:57 (fourteen years ago) link
this guy just has no luck does he
He keeps doing this thing where a barrel will be rolling left to right, and he'll do a BACKWARDS left to right jump, and land it. It's amazing!
― JimD, Tuesday, 2 June 2009 22:57 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah this game is brutal, and he's making it look like any old toff could get past even the first screen - but they ruddy can't!
― Ant Attack.. (Ste), Tuesday, 2 June 2009 23:05 (fourteen years ago) link
life gone, but at just under 300000 points that was pretty awesome.
― Ant Attack.. (Ste), Tuesday, 2 June 2009 23:19 (fourteen years ago) link
