Awesome, go steve
b/w
does not wash.
WAT?
Shinebox related
I've been using this method, but I'm betting I do far better being the master of starcraft or ms pac man.
although how did he do it? kill screen - r.
weirdly enough both steve and billy have supportive life partners
can't understand how a woman would allow her man to forgo changing nappies in the name of classic arcade game mastery but i guess thats love.
Just ask Mr Awesome.
Ladies swoon at his Missile Command.
So pleased for Steve right now.
Love that quote from the movie, when Walter says something along the lines of "I wanted the girls to come up and say - hey, I see you're good at centipede".
("Hey - I see you've got a lot of raer funk 45s!")
Cmon you cant sriously like the dude. hes a creepy manipulative lying shit who seems to control the many small inded idots he has riding his dick. Plus he looks like a 'rock spider' IMO.
Steve seems like hes on the other hand is a stand up guy, honest and down to earth.... good to see he's back on top.
BTW- That doco is.....RAD!!! (for those hwo havent seen it)
Sidenote: I used to work with an old due thats a mirror image physically and personality wise to the fella that runs the Twin Galaxy site. Hes the star of the doco IMO.... forgot his name but he deserves a record release ...maybe a spoke word jazzy thing with him reciting the top scores for all the top games....
Steve's just a bit wet, got a loser vibe. And he really should wipe his kid's ass instead of playing donkey kong.
Everything Billy does is pure excellence!
In all seriousness though, about a year after seeing the film i found the Picturehouse/King Of Kong message boards and read more or less everything on them. The guys who made the doc went to grade school with Steve, and they were very biased in how they painted the 2 of them to be(although this is what makes it so entertaining). Robert Mruzack (the head referee guy) contributed loads to the message board, and brought some interesting stuff to light about when they visited Steve's house while he wasn't there and such.
I actually asked the guy if he'd do me a shoutout for a mixtape but he was too paranoid about his voice being manipulated/abused unfortunately.
No doubt Billy would be a prize dickhead, but i can't help preferring him to Steve.
You seen Chasing Ghosts?
Also, I was rooting for Steve all the way but the guy is undoubtedly a "victim" in life even from the way he's portrayed in the movie. I'd happily watch another whole documentary just about Billy though and his adventures with Mr Awesome and the like.
All others are rendered worthless.
Apart from Xevious with the invisible towers.
This guy is sixteen varieties of flaccid wang.
Interesting...cheers for the extra info... whats the address for theses boards....would be cool to read some of that shit...

You should watch Chasting Ghosts:Beyond The Arcade if you haven't seen it - it's all about the gamers in the Life magazine 1982 photoshoot - its a good watch, although in a different way to KoK
