Yes, you are all well aware of the Donkey Kong "rivalry" between Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe. If for whatever reason you're not, go watch The King of Kong and come back right fast. We'll wait.
Okay, you done? Pretty fun, entertaining movie, no? I'm glad you liked it, but really, none of that matters right now -- neither Mitchell nor Wiebe set the new high score. Nope, it was actually newcomer Hank Chien of New York. He scored 1,061,700 points in 2 hours, 35 minutes; the previous high score was 1,050,200.
Twin Galaxies has verified the score and yes, everything is on the level. When he's not kicking ass and taking names in Donkey Kong, Chien can be found performing plastic surgery. I declare this man to be our newest officially unofficial badass of the week.
Salute Your New King Of Kong [Kotaku]

Asians are the worst.
Billy Mitchell reclaims the title of King Of Donkey Kong.
Wiebe's actually furthering children's futures by teaching.
Real winner: Wiebe.
lol?
This guy is a plastic surgeon who has a hobby at which he is currently the best in the world. Damn right I call him a winner.
Appropriate 'in' joke.. nice!
I approve your brilliant post! lmao.
Yeah, fuck how people feel about themselves. EDUCATION EDUCATION EDUCATION!! Feeling bad? Fuck it! Learn something and people will appreciate you!
Or he reconstructs people after they have been disfigured by accidents? Just cause you work in plastics, you're not necessarily doing cosmetics.
@the-excel
phd is for philosophy, in the us you are an md, British system is mbchb
Though I have to say, the amount of anti-Asian sentiment here is rather...threatening and uncomfortable.
:(
Triple threat match now guys. GOGOGO!
Although I won't lie and say I'm totally thrilled with this news. Guess I have too time and interest invested in Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe. Hell, I've even had the chance to meet and chat with Steve at E3 last year. He was great! And we all know how much fun it is to love to hate Billy.
Oh, well. Congrats Chien. Be careful, I'm sure Billy has something up his sleeve. And Steve is always ready to accept a challenge!
This could get interesting!
phd's can be for medicine. Ask my pops, he's got one in immunology.
Greatest insertion ever.
