are those both higher than the previous record?

It's not just the movie that makes Billy Mitchell look bad, he really does fail. He's got like (male gamer) groupies and shit, and he actually thinks he's somebody special or important because he holds a world record in an Arcade game.

Also, the Ties and the Hair. He fails at life.

During the event, Mitchell produced special bottles of his hot sauce to some of the 1,900 odd attendees, with a label reading “Steve Wiebe Attempts Donkey Kong World Record.”

Class act.

YOUR BEST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FUCKING WIEBE!

Your wife is so fucking hot though I would do her vagina.

I bet he sux at Halo though...

All nice and well that he's so good at Donkey Kong, but I'm not as impressed as when I see people like F4tality ( ok he's a bit of an egotripper too but he's got some sick ass skills )

I was howevere pretty impressed at Mitchells other great achievement, finishing pacman with only 1 life, eating all the dots on all 255 screens... but then again, in the end its not as if there's an unlimited amount of outcomes, its just a matter of studying by heart which route to take... Anyone with patience can do that, patience however gets you nowhere in most current-gen-games :-)

First off, Necrozen, that was the worst attempt at initial association that I have ever seen. Never in my life would I think that the letters BM would stand for Bowel Movement. Your just making shit up and trying to be funny about it. I mean really you couldn't think of something better than that. Secondly, both Necrozen and Eternal have terrible arguments against Mitchell. I can't tell that he is slimy and nasty by looking at him, in fact, the first half of the movie makes him seem like a pretty nice guy. And Eternal, you do realize that you are on a website that promotes video games and those who play them and you make fun of the guy for being a record holder in one of the most storied games in gaming history. The fact is that he has the record and Wiebe doesn't. I'm not saying that I am a big Mitchell fan, but just because a documentary portrays him as being shady doesn't mean that he is a douche.

@ Crawdaddy.

Were you watching the same flick as I was? My initial impressions, even before the shit that actually straight-up portrays him as a douche, was that Billy Mitchell was a slimy fucking douche-bag. He has the presence of a slimy used car salesman, and the charisma of a day old diaper.

You can attribute some of that to the way he was portrayed by the film-makers, but the rest of it was all him. He compared himself to the controversy surrounding the abortion issue for crap's sake! How big a douche do you have to be to do that?

As for your attempt at pointing out the irony in Eternal's statement, it fails because Billy Mitchell is a man who has built himself up around a totally trivial accomplishment. And don't kid yourself, while it took skill to accomplish what he did, it matters for shit outside of the gaming world.

To close this post out, I got the association right off the bat myself. BM. It's commonly used to describe one's personal processe of waste disposal, and makes perfect sense in the context in which it was used. It might be a bit low-brow, but given how much of a douche Billy is, it's so appropriate!

Really bro, you seem like you have a boner for Billy, despite your claims to the contrary. Why go to great lengths to defend a man you say you're not all that big a fan of? You're gonna look like a cock in front of the community for someone you don't give two shakes about? You're either a jackass, or you've got more invested in the guy than you'll admit...

@crawdaddy

Actually BM is recognized by most people as bowel movement (especially in the medical community). It isn't really that obscure a reference.

Steve and Billy didn't go head-to-head at this event. In fact Billy wasn't even at the event. It was just Steve trying to break the record again. Unfortunately he didn't even break the 1mil mark in either of his 2 attempts.

@ Crawdaddy3

Sorry for making fun of your dad.

Jake and Amir FTW.

..But Wiebe still has the high score doesn't he?

American flags, and in tie form FTW!!!

@Mxyzptlk

yes, i agree, Wiebe is a horrible parent... instead of ignoring his kid, he should have been teaching the brat how to use the crapper properly: shouldn't a kid that age know how to wipe his own ass? *I* did.

To the little old lady...

"I don't care if you lose your luggage...don't lose this tape!"

It's hard to put a slant on the crazy things the dude said himself, such a creep.

Just watched the documentary last week, it was awesome.

@Crawdaddy3 I work in the medical industry, and BM is most certainly the common abbreviation for bowel motion. So before you go off the deep end calling people out on 'bad associations' check you arent full of shit yourself.

As for the article, I agree, King of Kong skewed the facts slightly, but they certainly didn't make Billy wear that tie (for the last 20 years+), or say those things, they just showed the most outrageous things he did during filming. He was portrayed as a fuckwit, but he did do things that made him look that way.

I hope Wiebe does it, if only cause his wife obviously doesnt think he can.

And for fucks sake, anyone who thinks this game is old and doesnt hold a candle to the current games, go and get a world record, or just memorise the game and get through to the kill screen, and then come back here and talk about how pathetic it is. Yes its different to generic shooter 2008, but it still takes a lot of skill to be number 1 or 2.

As a parent I can say that I'll give anyone a gold medal if they drop whatever they are doing, no matter how much it means to them, every time their kid screams for their attention.

If you do that then first of all you'll never have a life and you'll hate living. Secondly your kid will become a spoiled little shit who doesn't respect other people and what they are doing.

The kid wanted his ass wiped, fine. He needs to sit the fuck down on the toilet and wait for his dad to finish breaking a world record... not scream like a shithead.

Are these two guys the only people who care about this damn score or what?

that movie was incredible!

I WAS SO MAD AT THAT GEEK TO DIDNT GET THE KILLSCREEN
AND WAS ALWAYS KISSING BILLY MITCHELL'S ASS...
HE WAS ABOUT TO CRY WHEN WIEBE DID IT FIRST
HAHAHA

I WANT TO KICK THAT KIDS ASS!
I SWEAR I'D STOMP HIS HEAD OFF FOR BEING SUCH A LOSER
AND A LITTLE GAY!

THE REAL KING OF KONG

Hi ////,
I don't think theres anything we can do.
I'm not familiar with the circumstances of your history with TG, but judging from my own, I can see how one can easily get screwed over in the name of politics and/or profit.
I actually have a copy of the game I played 9 years ago that was the "real" one that beat Billy's long standing record from the 80's.....NOT Webie. The whole KoK thing is built starting from a purposely manufactured lie.
I made 2 copies, one I sent to TG, the other I kept for myself....THAT I STILL HAVE.
Dwayne Richards and a few other notable people have seen this video from 9 years ago and agree theres no disputing it, it was all legit,
Seth Gordan intentionally lied. I was screwed out of my right full place in KoK.
I can't tell you how angry I am that an accomplishment I originaly did was simply taken away from me with intentional lies, handed over to someone else (they purposely lied to do it) so they could all profit! NOW THERE'S A MOTION PICTURE IN THE WORKS?! I got zero!
I'm the one who first actually beat Billys long standing score, can prove it and they hand it to Webie and B.S. the public with a so-called ..."documentary"?
Trying to explain the truth about the whole KoK thing to the general public is like trying to explain quantum physics to a taylors dummy. No one wants to hear it even though you can back up your argument with truth and videotape.
The public actually thinks KoK is a real life,real events documentary.
Both these Film people and TG now have a lot of $$$ tied up in the KoK sham.

Another game who was left out as well http://www.youtube.com/user/trtomkitinholloywood
