King of Kong

So the new episode of South Park is clearly meant to be a sort of homage to this film, but instead comes off as a sort of half-hearted poop-is-funny rip-off.

ah sorry, you should have been more descriptive with the episode - but I kinda agree with you if that helps.

That was the last episode of South Park I watched; quality seems to have finally fallen off.

just watched this for the first time tonight, and i loved loved loved it. just read upthread that billy re-broke the record? fuck that.

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.

yeah, and unfortunately ever since i found that out it's sorta ruined it for me.

Me too.

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".

lolllll

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 that guy with his 'art' collection

got the dvd of kong and the extras are pretty good.

in other news, finally completed screen 1 of donkey kong today. this game is HARD

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.

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.
