haha it's funny how ordinary certain situations are for him...so many times i screamed at the screen OH NO U IDIOT NOOO but he got out of it like it was nothing
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 (fifteen 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 (fifteen 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 (fifteen 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!

life gone, but at just under 300000 points that was pretty awesome.

this is pretty awesome.Those moonwalk jumps are crazy.

Ah shite. That really looked like a tiredness error, so it's maybe all over for today.

i think autopilot has kicked in
but this might not be enough to enable all the scoring tricks to get a high score tho.

Anyone been counting screens? The kill comes at 117, don't know how many more he's got.
― JimD, Wednesday, 3 June 2009 00:46 (fifteen years ago) link
people on the chat (who I trust more than ANYONE) say that he can't beat the top score now matter what he does, not enough levels left.
― ya'll are the ones who don't know things (Z S), Wednesday, 3 June 2009 00:46 (fifteen years ago) link
Hope he makes it - the web stream is choking now at 10,700 viewers (though it'll drop thousands randomly) and the score at 970k, but I guess he'll try again tomorrow if he doesn't make it.

Aw shit, there it is!

Damn, 989k, and he still had an extra life left!

aw that's a shame. terrific entertainment though.
― Ant Attack.. (Ste), Wednesday, 3 June 2009 00:54 (fifteen years ago) link
also, fair play to him playing this in front of so many people. I wonder if he knew at any point that 10,000 people were viewing on line.

you need to watch every episode of that show ever made (except for the one where margaret and rigby get mordechai super jealous which is not good but it is, thus far, the only not good episode yet)

this makes a great double-feature with "chasing ghosts", both involve roughly the same characters, except "ghosts" is a lot creepier and more depressing; it doesn't really do these guys any favors. some rough words for our DK champ - "FUCK Billy Mitchell" and "we used to call him Silly Bitchell"...loved it. Yeah Mitchell is kind of a dick but he's kind of a badass which makes this world so much more endearing
― frogbs, Monday, 14 March 2011 20:23 (thirteen years ago) link
King of Kong is a lot more fun (even my mom liked it!) and arguably a "better" movie, but I've probably watched Chasing Ghosts twice as many times by this point; there are just so many more details to soak up. also it has the scene with Robert Mruczek's "art" collection, i.e. the best scene in either one.
― the pussy/butthole addendum (jamescobo), Monday, 14 March 2011 20:57 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah I totally called that one as he was opening it..."it's gotta be porn, right?"
They're both great movies but King of Kong loses a few points since parts of it have kind of been exposed as fabrications; if you read the interviews with Billy Mitchell he seems to be a lot more of a complex person than he appears in the film, and they do intentionally omit several things to make it tell a better story; whereas Chasing Ghosts has the aura of "you really couldn't make this up"

thanks a lot for this, now I don't have to wonder how the scene develops when I get to see the movie
