Has anyone seen King of Kong?
It's a documentary about old-school arcade gamer geeks who can't let go of their glory days. It looks hilarious.

If you understand, say "understand". If you don't understand, say "don't understand". But if you understand and say "don't understand". How do I understand that you understand? Understand!

My wife and I watched it a few months ago. I found it to be kind of sad for several reasons.
1) It's a VIDEO GAME, not life. The challenger seems to have made so many sacrifices (re: family) to attempt breaking this world record.
2) The current champion comes off as an a**hole - pompous and arrogant, as if having the world record for 'donkey kong' is some worthy life's achievement
3) I think the 'regulartory board' that certifies the records is biased towards the 'old school' members. They never treated the new guy fairly, IMHO.
But it was one of those movies I could NOT stop watching...

Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
