The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

[BiG D]

Dunno how much you guys have heard about this.... It's a film, a documentary to be exact, and it's been shoved down my throat by friends and coworkers for a couple months now. I finally caved and went out and bought it today.

It follows an amateur gamer's journey to beat the world record score in Donkey Kong. (Without spoiling too much...) it's a rather funny look into the heart of serious competitive gaming, and into a culture that I really didn't know existed.

I'd recommend you see it, for sure, as it's a lot of fun. Have any of you had heard of it/had a chance to watch it?

Never heard of it and haven't seen it on shops or the internet. I'll look it up, though.
