Billy Mitchell is a douche.
-
why do I feel like I'm watching Flynn get 999,999?
-
Like within the last two months or so. Anyway GO MAN GO!
-
Same gameplay as the original, but with SLIGHTLY better sprites and WAY MORE levels.
The different levels is what makes that game fun.
I just started playing around with MAME, and it's amazing how addicting many of the old games are.
Fuck, I suck at Contra. -
...mullet-haired asshole.
-
But Metroid is where its at. And I could be king of NES Metroid. I love this game. Go Steve. Billy is a douchette!
-
it'd be stunning if he somehow managed to break the record with only one man to go.
-
I'll give him credit for being the best at a 27 year old video game. But really, is being better than Billy Mitchell worth all this commotion?
-
...is the Gameboy Advance version. I enjoyed that game way more than the original Metroid.
-
Donkey Kong is generally considered the hardest video game ever created
-
That bearded douche must be devising a plan to screw this guy over! great film
-
And he has more than proven that he is damned good at it. But there are things in life that you kind of have to say, well, I've been doing this for a long long time and I can only get a little better. Ultimately, he has nothing to prove (at least to himself). He needs to find some peace with the whole thing and be great at something else.
-
with only one man left

Why Star Wars will always be the BEST Sci Fi.....

This is why Star Wars, no matter what, will always be the best sci-fi ever, even if the movies sucked, the potential for awesomeness will always be there... -

Wow, Gm gone, economy shitty, Bread and Circuses bitches.
by evilwizardglick
This topic sums up why the US is tanking. Donkey Kong gets a TB while the nations slowly dies.
-
If he gets it.. this will be one for the ages..
-
...will try to dispute Steve's record this time?
-
Isn't DiCaprio supposed to be in it? I think a movie about Atari in the seventies would be fascinating given an insightful screenplay.
-
It is space fantasy.Yes, I am a jerk.
-
no way those assholes can contest his record now!
-
When I reloaded he was on the jacks level. God I hated that level as a kid. You could see some major tension ease off Steve's face when he cleared it.
-
This is awesome.
-
This guys is possibly the best in the world at one thing - Donkey Kong. He has an arch-villian of a rival that tries at every turn to spoil his victories, AND he's probably finally getting paid to play video games! He should never, never,never give up as long as those three things remain constant. Just my opinion.
Harry - I know he's on his last dude, but is it possible for him to earn another guy is in DK - is that IT? -
This is fucking cool news! Go WIEBE!
-

What is the highest score at the moment, Harry?
by talkbacker with no name
And is Billy the current holder?
-
If he dies will he try it again?

As someone that owned a stand up Donkey Kong in high school
by headgeek
Watching either of these guys play is like magic. More people have walked on the moon than have scored the points Steve is at right now. Now, admittedly I'd rather walk on the moon.
-
The highest recorded score was set by Billy Mitchell on June 26, 2007 when he achieved 1,050,200 points. He has been challenged many times by Steve Wiebe, who holds the 2nd best record with 1,049,100 points, accomplished March 23, 2007.
-
play Donkey Kong on the fucking moon
-
that guy is not right in the head.
-
Would that then make it lunar record rather than a world record?
-
yup - shitloads of witnesses and video

"Donkey Kong is generally considered the hardest video game ever
by screwhead
Thinking back to my '80s arcade-dwelling days, I believe it was widely agreed that DEFENDER (or its sequel, STARGATE) was supposed to be the toughest of all.
Wikipedia seems to back me up on this. "It ultimately gained many fans and remained popular throughout the 1980s. Defender has been described as 'quite possibly, the hardest significant game there is'.[1]"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defender_(video_game) -
nice
787,650 is the 3/4 mark btw.. he's at 720,000 -
Beat Billy! Beat that mulleted SOB! :-)
-
But I bet I could kick his ass at DK Country 2!
-
Can't even describe how mesmerizing this is! he's gonna do it!
-
No way am I going to get any work done today....

After this, I think it's just one more time through the screens.
by pinkfloyd2000
...and then it's:
HEY GUYS, POSSIBLE DONKEY KONG KILL SCREEN! -
I love this man. GO STEVE!
-
Judging by the score.
I think there's 22 total screens? -
You have to succeed!!
-
damn, this 'last man" is still standing!
-
That episode where Jeff was a video game hero back in the day, and turned out to be such a loser now.
-
make it before the kill screen
-
I'm so tense right now, Weibe is now flashing green and static - FUCK FUCK FUCK
-
NOOOOOOOO!!! THIS WAS HYPNOTIC!
-
Steve's screen has gone green.
-
...I doubt he'll even break a million.
-
FYI, Steve's name is actually spelled Steve Wiebe.
-
I can't see
-
This is the King of Kong!
-
The video is not working for me.
-
I haven't seen him lose a life yet. But that's not the issue; this is a game of a finite nature. That's the obstacle.
-
he knows the bugs!!!
-
This may be impressive but I wanna see this guy score high on Bad Dudes--cause I could never beat that game!
Ninjas have captured the president, are you a bad dude to save him? -
kinda fucking annoying
-
Keeping an eye in the background. brilliant!
-
every time a kid watched me at an arcade they always were.
-
what level he is on?
-
kill screen coming soon..
-
He doesn't have enough screens left.
-
was the hardest fucking game
-
You guys are right. He probably ain't gonna make it before the kill screen. Damn you, Billy!
-
and still standing!
-
what are the guys that look like refs doing behind him?
-
At the bottom of the Kong screen it says "How High Can You Get!!!"
-
Beings refs.
-
Jun 02, 2009 12:14:23 PM CDT
Has he got all day to try a few times or is this it?
by talkbacker with no name
-
They're there to basically be a witness to verify his score and that he didn't cheat
-
is that a word?
-

-
Damn...
-
fire killed Mario
-
Sorry...I was rooting for him, but the writing was on the wall. Or screen.
-
... incredible.
-
... incredible.
-
so close...
-
what pussies set those scores?
-
7650... nice Steve - do it again!
-
at least a couple of more times.. ugh my day is shot..
-
That son of a bitch
-
I was really hoping Steve would beat that douche bag Mitchell's score today.
-
Www.nukethefridge.com
-
nice
-
I can't see going through this so many times...so many hours on a stool in front of that machine for what? I feel for Steve
-
that shit ain't natural. The triple jumps with backward feints then double hops. That's insane!
-
What time is it in the US where he is?
-
It's jumpman!
-
maybe thats the default high scores?
-
Obviously for the honor and the chicks! duh!
-
gonna go get laid
-
always hated that damn game.
-
Being the best in the world at one thing. Anything.
-
For the Chicks.
-
Any confirmation?
-
Is he gonna go for it again today?? I really wanna see it! Hey Harry....when is "Chasing Ghosts" supposed to come out? any clue?
-
Funny how crucial Billy Mitchell is to this whole phenomenon. If Mitchell was a good guy, or some meek nerd, no one would give a damn. His epic douchebaggery is the only reason we follow this record. I guess everyone needs a villain.
-
like how many lives you get, etc?
-
Wear a super hero outfit while playing - just to spite the evil Mitchell-man. This is an epic battle that will be fought as long as they are both alive, or until Billy takes Steve's kneecaps out with a lead pipe.
-
It's so pathetic. No one can convince me it's passion for the game. I wasted my time watching King Of Kong and found the "hero" to be wasting his time. And this Billy Mitchel assclown. Man, he is an example of why there should be birth control.
-
the best scene in the movie..next to the gay dude who calls Crystal Castles "Crystal" and wears his track ball glove...is when Billy starts shoving his competitors Hot Sauce to the back of the shelf...Epic Douchebaggery
-
...he was gonna try two more times. Go Steve!!!!!!
-
is an assclown
-
RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!! I'M ON THE INTERNET!!! I HATE EVERYTHING!!!
-
You had to constantly hit DK's ass with DDT to get him to jump. Greatest game concept ever.
-
and yes DK3 is awesome too
-
I still have nightmares about those damn bees.
-
Seems to me you are a Billy Mitchell groupie. How proud you must be of yourself. Get a life, dude
And Alkeoholic77. You shouldn't hate everything. Get a grip. -
according to justin.tv
-
I just think anyone who talks like you is an assclown
-
I know what I'm buying tonight
-
Well Steve is a High School Teacher, father, husband and drum player... that also happens to be one of two gods of Donkey Kong. One is a good god, the other is evil. At least that's the fun way to observe all this.
-
this place is so freakin cool...
-
How many clock hours does a score close to a million add up to? Ten hours, thirteen?
Do these guys dehydrate themselves so they don't have to pee during their attempts? -
i want a Billy Mitchell t-shirt. you know you love him. Billy Mitchell's game initials are USA! Steve is a commie. liking Steve is like urinating on the flag.
-
"Is the dark side stronger?" "No... well yes."
-
That shit has had to have come in handy
-
...because good is dumb.
-
...is a real hero, a king among men and monkeys. Can't wait to see the next attempt...
-
It'll be interesting to see which G4 carries live.
-
go and wipe your kid's butt, you neglegent monster.
while you're at it, go cry some more man-tears, you aspie loser. -
I understand there is this good vs evil thing going on. That was very evident in King Of Kong. I just don't understand why a high school teacher, father, husband and drumplayer needs to waste so much time on that game. There is more in life than just that especially with the skills that that guy has.
-
Caaaallllliiiiiffffooooorrrrrnnnniiiiaaaaa
-
To go through 22 DK screens doesn't take nearly that long...I'm not sure how long Steve was playing the first time, maybe someone can provide that.
-
"I just don't understand why a high school teacher, father, husband and drumplayer needs to waste so much time on that game." Uh, because he LIKES it? Why do you do anything recreational?
-
WTF is your deal. Who cares if the guy wants to spend all of his time doing something he enjoys. No one's riding your ass about wasting your time on this site when you could be doing something else.
-
he's getting ready to go again
-
!!!!
-
You are wasting time watching and talking about said guy. Fuck off if you don't like it...Oh shut up now, Steve is going for it again. Hooray!
-
Let's see. I call Billy Mitchell an assclown and you defend him by calling me an assclown. Yep. You are definitely a groupie.
-
Why do Fortune 500 millionaires wate their lives watching things like sports? Why do people who will never make the olympics spend so much time running? Why do I edit videos and music just for the hell of it? There is more to life than doing any of that stuff but people do just because it clicks something inside of them and they enjoy doing it.
-
It's not a waste of time if it's something he enjoys doing.
-
anyone. I was just calling you an assclown cuz that's what you are.
-
Just hope his kid doesn't need his diaper changed again.
-
GO STEVE GO! GO STEVE GO! GO STEVE GO! GO STEVE GO! GO STEVE GO! GO STEVE GO! GO STEVE GO! GO STEVE GO! GO STEVE GO!
-
Wow. Not a good attempt.
-
that was fast!thats what she said

Fookin' loved the king of kong..

I can't view the video at work, so I wanted to say thanks to all of you keeping this updated.

The game is divided into four different one-screen stages. Each represents 25 meters of the structure Donkey Kong has climbed, one stage being 25 meters higher than the previous. The final screen occurs at 100 m. Later ports of the game omit or change the sequence of the screens; the original arcade version includes:
* Screen 1 (25 m) – Jumpman must scale a seven-story construction site made of crooked girders and ladders while jumping over or hammering barrels and oil barrels tossed by Donkey Kong. The hero must also avoid flaming balls, which generate when an oil barrel collides with an oil drum. Players routinely call this screen "Barrels."[10]
* Screen 2 (50 m) – Jumpman must climb a five-story structure of conveyor belts, each of which transports pans of cement. The fireballs also make another appearance. This screen is sometimes referred to as the "Factory" or "Pie Factory" due to the resemblance of the cement pans to pies.[10]
* Screen 3 (75 m) – Jumpman rides up and down elevators while avoiding fireballs and bouncing objects, presumably spring-weights. The bouncing weights (the hero's greatest danger in this screen) emerge on the top level and drop near the rightmost elevator. The screen's common name is "Elevators."[10]
* Screen 4 (100 m) – Jumpman must remove the eight rivets which support Donkey Kong. The fireballs remain the primary obstacle. Removing the final rivet causes Donkey Kong to fall and the hero to be reunited with the Lady. This is the final screen of each level. Players refer to this screen as "Rivets."[10]
These screens combine to form levels, which become progressively harder. For example, Donkey Kong begins to hurl barrels more rapidly and sometimes diagonally, and fireballs get quicker. The victory music alternates between levels 1 and 2. The 22nd level is unofficially known as the kill screen, due to an error in the game's programming that kills Jumpman after a few seconds, effectively ending the game. -
nothing compared to some of those dicks in the chat next to the video

I love it. I used to have the DK and DKJR double cartridge for my nintendo.
-
take out the footnotes lol
-
I'm holding out for Steve big time. Though I'm sure Billy Mitchell will hire his goons to breaks Weibe's thumbs.
-
If Steve Weib was about to break the record and Billy Mitchell runs out of nowhere and checks him off of his stool?
-
....he'd like to walk on the moon, when he wouldn't even walk into 7/11 and get his own Slurpee!!!
-
Keep posting updates please :)
-
damnnn steve... come on..
-
you're not on the moon yet!"
Sorry Harry, Simpsons quotes can not be resisted. -
What am I missing here? Why is this considered cool to watch? Seems kind of boring.
-
OH AND ANOTHER GUY DOWN!
-
Oh well.
-
you can do it Steve!!!
-
To me it's like watching Deep Blue against Garry Kasparov. Loving it!
-
I wanna see him just flip out. Start punching the shit out of the machine..
-
you haven't seen the king of kong?
-
and put up a white flag like that video game in Suburban Commando.
-
Go man, go!!!
-
looking good..
-
Even if he is asked a question, yet he posts updates to this asinine bullshit that he provided a live link to. Don't get me wrong, I'm following E3, and fucking love videogames (Giantbomb is my main hit today), but Harry does my tits in.
-
That goes without saying, but it had to be said, so I'm just sayin'.
-
When did he beat Weibe? And did he do it in public? I wasn't even convinced he did it the first time with that conveniently flippant vhs of his.
-
A true giant amongst the afterbirth.THE KING OF KONG was one of the most enjoyable film experiences I've had in the past few years. And it truly is an amazing and touching documentary. So, I'm with Weibe.GO STEVE!!! GO!!!
-
On July 13, 2007, in celebration of the film's release and the 25th anniversary of Mitchell's first record-setting performance, Mitchell again played in public and retook the Donkey Kong record with a score of 1,050,200.[5]
-
one more to go.. damn flames
-
Jun 02, 2009 1:54:52 PM CDT
just how many damn times does that princess need to be saved?!
by alkeoholic77
-
God bless him.
-
FUCK BILLY MITCHELL
-
he did over 500k with his last life on the last try
-
...a bit.
-
Don't let your passions cloud your judgment.
-
at this point...
-
...down to this bar that had a machine in the back...tiptoe past the old crusty guys drinking and smoking in the middle of the day...wait your turn with sweaty palms, studying other guys' technique...and finally get your turn to crash and burn...stumble back into the sunlight...
-
i hope billy never changes, because i enjoy his horrible ego and fucked up view of life...
best part of the film, when mitchell's second in command, at the end, asks billy seriously if he respects steve, and billy just stares, saying "no"
his friend looks so shocked and hurt...it's gold --sam-- -
be the champ, score or no. If you don't have good sportsmanship and can win and lose gracefully you don't really have anything. It's just common human decency. Billy is such a worthless slime ball he just can't be a real person. He's like a cartoon villain you love to hate.
-
I can't believe how nervous I am for him.
-
fuck me this is good stuff
-
then I'll care.
-
I'm going for a smoke.
-
I'm not too sure. Don't get G4 but he's still playing on this online video feed.
-
it's his second attempt today
-
he needs to make up points
-
If I was a ten year old kid at the arcade waiting for this guy to finish so I could play.
-
604,000
-
Well that sucks that he did worse this time than last time. Lets hope his 3rd attempt is the one that does it.
-
he gets more points per round in the latter levels..
-
he has to reach the score before the kill screen.
-
But, im home sick, so fuck it.
When does he get a free man anyway? -
Fink: Well, the lives obviously DO matter if he loses em all before reaching the kill screen...
Rizzo: I think DK only offers one free man throughout the course of the game, when you initially reach 7,000 points. I think that's it. -
I thought he was just doing this as a one-off thing.
-
Where is that fool anyway? Is he there?
-
with each life? I would think hitting the kill screen with extra lives would be a waste of points.. though I would like to get to lvl 22 with some spares I would think..
-
Perhaps one-off as in "one day." Who knows. This is the second attempt now, which just ended...
-
thanks for being technical
-
---GAME OVER---
-
what the fuck
-
grrrrrrr c'mon steve!!
-
I do what I can.
-
he was gonna try again today
-
Evil is more motivated. Just look at Hitler.
-
Hopefully he'll give it one last go today.
-
smoke a bowl and see how much better you play!
-
and E3 still goes on tomorrow.. I'd imagine they'd let him try as much as he wants.
-
Smoking made that dude smarter and more efficient actually.

Steve Wiebe is continuing to pursue his previously held title as the holder of the highest score in Donkey Kong. Recently, Wiebe has made four well-publicized attempts at regaining the Donkey Kong title. They are:
On August 19, 2007, at the Alamo Draft House in Austin, TX, Steve scored 695,500 points while Twin Galaxies Founder Walter Day served as the official referee. [7]
On March 6, 2008, in Las Vegas, Steve Wiebe played in front of a fluctuating crowd of 1,900 party attendees in the TAO Nightclub in the Venetian Casino during Microsoft's MIX08 event. During that attempt, Steve Wiebe achieved two scores: first scoring 929,800 points and reaching the "Kill Screen" and then 579,300 points on the second try. According to Twin Galaxies records, this is the sixth time someone had reached the "Kill Screen" during a public gaming performance (3 times by Billy Mitchell and 3 times by Steve Wiebe). Again, Steve performed under the supervision of Twin Galaxies Founder Walter Day, who noted: "Possibly the biggest challenges Steve had to overcome were the loud nightclub music, the chaotic environment and the late hours." [8]
On July 17, 2008, Steve Wiebe made his third attempt to break the Donkey Kong high score at the Twiistup 4 event in Santa Monica, but was unsuccessful on two consecutive attempts, scoring 340,500 and 466,100 points.[9]
In October 2008, at the 2008 E for All Expo, he scored 1,000,200 in front of a large crowd. This is only the third time a 1 million point score has been achieved in public.
On April 24, 2009, Steve took command of the Donkey Kong Jr. title, eclipsing both Mitchell and previous record holder Icarus Hall with a score of 1,139,800 points. [10]
On June 02, 2009, Steve reached a score of 923,400 points at E3 2009 during his first attempt that day. On his second attempt, he reached 653,700. These attempts ware broadcast online via G4TV. -

And the lazy appreciate it.

put quarters in every time he plays?
-
hmmmm chobot..
-
She's much hotter.
-
Or what?
-
they would have cut the feed.. unless they wanted to see how long peeps would keep watching.. heheh
-
I'd like to see him play, but have no idea if he plans on trying again. It would be great if there was some sort of technology that could be used to let viewers know if and when he was coming back. Hmm. Maybe at E3, someone could devise some sort of device... or internet system... for dispensing simple text messages.
-
...smoke a fat one, put on some headphones, and go again.
-
Damn. Late to the party... as usual.
-
in about 5 minutes. That's what some are saying.
-
Awesome. You can do it, Steve!
-
I really thought he was going to make it happen. Hope he goes again! Rooting for you, Steve!!!
-
He's gonna need it for retirement.
-
is he just out grabbing a burger before another try?
-
Please let us know if someone knows he's trying again!
-
I would guess 5 central it will start up again..
-
on the screen.. should be starting soon...
-
come on steve!
-
Nothing's happening.
-
Attempt #3 starting now!
-
Imagine how many hours Wiebe and Mitchell have spent in total playing and analyzing Donkey Kong. Kudos to them both. GO WIEBE!
-
that Wiebe puts himself out there and makes a spectacle of Donkey Kong. Where the fuck is Mitchell? Own up you fucking smug douchebag.
-
Thats why I put the stool I'm sitting on THROUGH the machine...
-
the power went out when he was on record pace! now he has to start over! i think fucking Billy did it!
-
my stream is all gibberish...
-
he was on a roll too.. almost 200,000 and no deaths.. people are asking where mitchell is...
-
completely unbelieveable
-
sabotaged the machine...
-
Steve's Game just went dead. Was about 100,000 points up and it went dead. Everyone's wondering if Billy Mitchell sabotaged it. I can't believe the game failed at E3. Of all the places you'd expect them to have everything up and running on the technical side. A sign of the apocalypse? Perhaps not, but certainly a commentary on nature's indifference to us...
Muhahahahahahahahahaahahaha!!!!! I was hoping Steve would finally take Billy's record. Billy Mitchell seems like an ass. -
I went to the gym, went for a facial, had dinner, watched tv, and read a book, and he's STILL at it?! Legend!
-
my above post was typed out before it went all CRASH.
-
I suspect some hot sauce involvement...
-
Billy Mitchell's involvement in the Dark Arts confirmed.
-
But thankful video is back at least.
-
if we're watching this shit.
-
didn't Mitchell get the record by submitting a VHS tape of him playing? How do we know he didn't mess with the machine? Did anyone actually seen Mitchell break the record?
-
The guy is a first class prick. Do you think there is anyway that jackass would ever have the balls to go for the record on live tv? Not a chance. Steve is a real nice guy, good player, and more than deserves to beat out Mitchell who really seems to be good for nothing other than being a total ass.
-
Third only to Mitchell's absolute mastery of all things douchebag-esque and his eager henchman's "Wanna see a Donkey Kong killscreen?" toadiness, the best scene in all of "King of Kong" was Wiebe's kid's bathroom meltdown well into Wiebe home run at the top score. "DAAAAAD!!! COME WIPE MY BUTT!! DAAAAADD!!"
-
but can't get a date to save his life!
-
and I never played it to go for hi-score... just to stay alive and get as far as I can.
but... is there some kind of time limit at each stage? if not, why not just stand next to the final ladder and jump over infinite amount of barrels?
or is it against some rule that pathetic judge guy came up with? -
no the sound went down when the machine came back on. guess they don't want to fuck with it on the machine while he is playing.
-
Damn I'm White and Nerdy

Doh!
-
You don't need sound when you can blast "Do the Donkey Kong" on LP.
-
Good movie. If you haven't seen it, rent it.
-
what the fuck...
-
so glad i'm finally off work and can watch this...do it, Steve!
-
Why? This is more entertaining.
-
depends on what I'm smoking
-
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
-
it started to get laggy a lot
D.Vader, I think it's 1,050,200 -
the princess would have implants. Donkey Kong throws explosions. Mario/Jumpman is trying to climb famous world landmarks and Weibe would be playing an arcade system that was constantly shaking to give it that shaky cam finish.
-
It's the only logical explanation.
-
Damn
-
I can't hear anything!!!!

Audio dropped out. It ain't comin' back.

If her were channeling Bale he would suck and his game would have been over a few days ago.

He beats the 1982 record, that stood for over 20 years like nothing now. Consider that only two human beings on Earth have ever been seen getting passed 800,000 on Donkey Kong. The man is Donkey Kong master and he proves it in front of a live audience time and time again. When is the last time Billy Mitchell played DK in front of a crowd? I rest my case.
-
and a blowjob from his wife. This is amazing achievement.

Walter Day this morning said the record was record: 1,050,600
by orionsangels
Something like that.
-
He's more famous then Billy Mitchell for the simple reason He's not a ass.
-
after this is over.
-
hahaha...yea me too.
-
Shit man....GO WIEBE!!
-
having his name always be synonymous with Steve Wiebe till the day he dies.
-
Only excuse for that level of amateurism.
-
BTW, King of Kong 2 anyone??
-
but right now, I would kill to be there and watch him do this in person
-
And there was audio earlier today when I checked it out. Thanks for telling me the records guys.
-
WOOOO
-
Up and up!

At 999,999, someone adds some lighting...................
by gibsonusa returns
"KICK YOUR FUCKIN ASS!!
I want you off the fuckin stage you prick!
What the FUCK. ARE. YOU. DOING??
Do I go around and fucking rip your lights down in the middle of a game?? Then why the fuck are you walkin through...a da da dala...in the background, what the fuck is it with you??
You got any idea about hey, its FUCKING DISTRACTING, having someone walking behind the cabinet in the middle of the fucking game!
Ohhhh you were adding light...well I hope it was good for you cause its fucking useless now isnt it??
Fucks sake man you're amateur!
I'm tryin you play a game here and I'm thinking...why the fuck is he walking there...what is he doing there? My mind is not in the game if you're doing that.
Stay off the fucking stage man...alright let's go again....NO LETS GO AGAIN!!"
just kidding. -
Jun 02, 2009 7:31:06 PM CDT
fuck it's frozen for me. what's the score please?
by talkbacker with no name
-
It's crazy how I've been accused of being all sorts of AICN Talkback AKA's. I've been in my Underoos for a few years here now and I can say with complete honesty that I have never been under another screen name. Beleive what you will my Bale loving nerds. I wear my Underoos with pride. Oh yea and Bale was only good in The Machinist and Reign Of Fire.
-
If Steve was channeling Bale he would have just skullfucked the machine a long time ago and left it at that.
-
his try before this....the machine crashed on him at 250,000 points. just powered down. wouldn't that suck if it happened again?
-
rofl
-
come on dude...
-
The machine lost it's power when he was at 181,000 and some change. The audio never recovered from that. Bale must be handling the audio.
-
It's mesmerizing watching this guy play...oddly zen...over 900,000 with a life left!
-
Who didn't know the game would overheat? He's been playing it all day.
-
Weibe!
-
Jun 02, 2009 7:42:27 PM CDT
This guy probably does NOT get headaches in 3D movies.
by gibsonusa returns
If he can stare at a monitor that fn long, his eyes can take anything.
-
earlier in the day, he got 500,000 points with his last guy. this session, he has 1 guy still to go!
-
I trained him. I taught him every DK move he knows. just sayin'....
-
Is jumping by DK and racking up 100 points per jump better than getting the bonus that is losing 100 points at each click?
-
Jun 02, 2009 7:45:10 PM CDT
Okay now that he's at 940,000 its gonna lag like crazy.
by gibsonusa returns
Everyone is gonna be joining in watching.
-
Jun 02, 2009 7:46:10 PM CDT
I'm still waiting for someone here to make a post saying....
by gibsonusa returns
"SHHHHH! Stop posting and let him concentrate!"
lol -
The lagging gives me a little heart attack every time it happens. I'm so rooting for this guy!
-
Err, i'm just as excited as you are and will post whatever the fuck i want
-
Jun 02, 2009 7:50:42 PM CDT
I had a friend who swore that the game would get "hyper"...
by flickapoo
...after someone played to a high level...and that if you played right after them even the first easy screens would be unfairly difficult. Sometimes he would weep...just a little.
-
So is this what we pay our taxes for? Shit
-
Jun 02, 2009 7:52:18 PM CDT
Yeah, that model looking girl wearing the green actually is a ga
by gibsonusa returns
And loves videogames and cares about Donkey Kong? Yeah right...
-
DAMN!!
-
WHY DID HE KILL HIMSELF?
-
dammit.
-
after this event......they need to follow hollywoods pattern and do a reboot of King of Kong.....to include this footage.
-
KIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLL SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
-
ARGH!
-
And fuck you stupid ass 80's programmers
-
over
-
Jun 02, 2009 7:54:08 PM CDT
Still that's impressive he got the kill screen live on TV!!!
by orionsangels
I think that's the first time that's ever been done.
-
that was exciting while it lasted. fuck, that's a downer. time to go drown sorrows in a sandwich and beer. WEIBE!
-
I'm not watching the video since I assume it will be choppy.
-
Man, that was cool though. KILL SCREEN!!
-
Jun 02, 2009 7:56:11 PM CDT
well... this has been waaaay more entertaining then the new term
by ravex
good night, everyone
-
not that anybody needed that clarification...
-
...as a kid. The last time I played I played for four hours straight...and then just quit out of boredom. So that makes me just like Weibe. Yup, just like him.
-
SOMEONE GET THAT LOOSER IN FRONT OF A CROWD AND PLAY OR TAKE HIS TITLE AWAY!! FUCK HIM AND HIS STUPID SAUCE!!
-
Got past level 100, at that point it wouldn't get any harder, and he was getting lives faster than he would get killed. He got bored and handled the control to my sister -- who wasn't as good as him. So it was fun while it lasted.
-
Steve, you proved you are way more of a gamer than Billy just by showing up and trying it live. Just beat his ass at home and mail the tape like Billy would do.
-
The movie made it clear that the flaky arcade owner suckup was down for Billy's cock, allowing that bullshit video to be used as "evidence".
No worries, Steve...you have nothing to prove to us, Champ. -
I broke the high score record on the Excalibur NF07-08 NFL Vibrating Football Game. We celebrated and everything.
-
I just got home *sigh*
-
...eventually I would have so many lives I could go and get a snack and let the populace get abducted and probed willy nilly during my refreshment...
-
I'll photobucket some screen shots. They're a little blurry though.
-
How many does BM get.
-
Not sure if the level 100 "leveling off" was in any other versions
-
DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP BOING! BOING! DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP BOING!DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP DOOP BOODLE-A-DOOP! BOODLE-A-DOOP! BOING!

(Just 5,000 pages to go...) -
What happened? He spent too much time on that particular level?
-
...that would have been an accomplishment...
-
You're essentially fighting two factors: plain old death, and running out of time (which is the Kill Screen). To avoid the latter, you have to get as many points as possible on the prior screens, but if you don't ... well, you see what happens
-
the flying metal shields in Xevious, but apparently that requires Dark Magic.
-
Adds an interesting twist to the thing, though. Never saw King of Kong so I had no idea about these things. Will he just try again tomorrow?
-
...Xevious was brutal. An ice cream shop down at the beach had that one for a summer...blew quite a few shiny quarters but didn't get very far with it. Hard to believe, but those shaded realistically rotating metal things were the best graphics we had seen at the time.
-
I used to be fkn' DEADLY on Q*Bert back in the day! I'd have 15 guys in reserve, then just quit to go to class! Used to be pretty good with Crystal Castles as well. *Sigh, just an old fart remembering the good ol' days. DK used to kick my ass about the 6th screen.
-
Is that anyone else's arcade game crack of choice?Donkey Kong was forged by Satan,that's the only explanation.

I've always wanted to see a Contra competitive speedrun
by gibsonusa returns
Two jumbo screens side by side...see who can finish this badass game 1st.
Or better yet, each game is 2 player, where 2 teams of 2 battle it out! -
Then I beat it and an old pervert tried to get me into his car. True story.
-
Bust-A-Move is second only to Super Buster Bros. as long forgotten classics.
-
Where you and a second player played as masked burglars in a side-scrolling game, where you went through a cut-away building, going through all the stories, including the roof, where you could repel to the next building over, all the while evading the police? I can't remember the name! But I remember that the graphics were like a crude 3d rendering. The bodies bounced up and down on legless feet, and there were no arms, just floating hands... Any ideas guys?
-
Shit happening all over the scroll, 5 buttons, a joystick...a real ball buster that one.
-
Was that one called Bagman? if not, you might try to look it up at KLOV.com (Killer List Of Videogames)

Stretch Armstrong fucking your eyeballs in 2011
by trannyformers_apologist
The Bazooka Joe, Wheres Waldo, Stretch Armstrong movies will be sodomizing your optic sensors.
-
That wasn't a game...that was a suppressed memory. You actually DID break into a building in the 90s.
I'm calling the police. -
if only to again piss off the fucking gamer fanboys and i thought comic fanboys were nuts....these guys take the cake
-
I'll check the site
-
Thank you. I had an event to go to and couldn't stay home to see this live, but y'alls wonderful blow by blow here was not as thrilling, but was a taste of it.
This record that Weibe is chasing is near impossible to do. There's a finite number of points that can be scored prior to the kill screen - but one day I hope to see Weibe play a PERFECT GAME. Nailing every point he possibly could. Sometimes it just depends on the machine, how many barrels it sends at you. How quickly you get through it and so on.
this was a fantastic talkback. I'm glad I posted this story! -
Bonanza Bros is the game you seek.
-
So glad you did post it. I would never have known about it and kicked myself for not seeing it. What a fun day to be a geek.
-
I grew up in Hollywood, Florida (I am 36 years old)..At 9 years old, I won the State championship for Vanguard, and I took Billy Mitchell to school at Gorf...If anyone is familiar with 80's South Florida, this was at the Old Grand Prix Go-Kart Arcade... also, for the record, Billy is not as bad as he is portrayed in the film. Just clever editing...He is just sure of himself...Originally, the fikmakers were to follow Abner, the Mrs. Pacman Champion, but this story crept up and took hold...And I hate his Wing Sauce...Rickey's always smells bad when you go in there
-
I have the high score at the local laundromat. Only reason is theres a bug where you can get the enemies to stop shooting at you if you avoid them for about 10 minutes. After that its just a matter of dodging the falling enemies and destroying the rest with dual lasers!
-
Once I learned that the aliens always go where you are, not where your going, It's simple to create a pattern..I got to level 128 on 1 man using the joystick "Tap" technique..That reminds me... Anyone remember using pencils to run for Track & Field??
-
...a system...and everyone was always looking for a better one. I still approach life problems this way...just have to keep at it and pay attention until you crack the pattern...
-
I know it. He knows it.
-
To me Steve Wiebe will always be better than any DK world record holder. Because he breaks records and gets kill screens live in front of people! You can never beat that!
-
I AM ALL THAT IS MAN!!
-
Did anyone...ANYONE...ever kill
Sinistar? Now that was one tough game. -
Robotron 2048 or 2084, with the twin joystick (one for moving, one for controlling the direction of your continuous shooting).
And I'm pretty sure Sinistar can be killed. -

-
Where's Steve's live feed for today? I just talked to someone at E3 and he said that Steve started another attempt not too long ago (about 1 hour ago)...
-
but it's empty because I don't read that shitty comic.
-
but I don't know why you'd want to watch this guy playing Donkey Kong in real time for hours on end (protip: neither does Harry apparently).
-
Hope steve breaks the record..loved king of kong..that mitchell bloke who is is main rival is a fucking dick and arrogant prick..steve is a gentleman and an all round nice guy. hope you do it stevie !
-
Jokey, serious, or not, I appreciate the help, FuriousStyles, Wingnut, Bacci, and BurnHollywood. And did I already piss off some gamerboys and not realize it, bacci? Whoopsydoodle.
-
Thanks for helping me! Good god, I dunno how you figured it out. I knew "Bros" was in the title somehow, but googling "arcade game bros burglars" didn't bring up shite. Thanks again for the help.
-
because I have such vivid memories of seeing screenshots of it when I was young - I thought of it instantly from your description. Funny thing is after all the years I've never even played it - and the Genesis port is available on Wii Virtual Console I think..... Oh - and go Steve Weibe. Half of NSW has his back - I often leave the doco on in the background in the studio in Sydney, so so many of my mates have seen it and support him forever.
