DON'T GET CHUMPATIZED

Hello Chums,

I saw a great movie the other night. The King Of Kong.

This documentary tells the story of one man's quest to be the best in the world at what he does: Play the video game Donkey Kong.

Steve Wiebe was an out of work husband and father of two. He hears about the highest score ever recorded on Donkey Kong and decides he would beat it. So he does what anyone would do: Get a Donkey Kong arcade console, put it in his garage and play all the time. He plays so much he figures out tricky patterns that the game throws at him.

When he beats the high score does the movie end there? Not Hardly! Enter Billy Mitchell. Gamer of the Century. Billy is the gamer that has held the record for over 20 years. Will he let his record fall? No Way!

What ensues is some of the best documentary film making I have ever seen.

Don't Get Chumpatized see this movie.

D.L.
