The King of Kong

As you may have seen earlier today I had posted a quote from twingalaxies.com about Steve Wiebe regaining the Worlds Record Score on Donkey Kong Jr. This is great news for the gaming world! The guy is super nice, great dad and pretty funny to boot.

The guy is a great competitor. If you have not seen The King of Kong: Fist full of Quarters you should. Its a really good documentary. Billy Mitchell (or as I like to call him “Doucher”) over and over again tries to take the title away from Steve. Like a man Steve agrees to play in public in front of all the people in the arcade to show everyone that he is “The real Deal”. Even when he does that Billy throw out a VHS video of himself beating the score that was set by Steve. Long story short…Billy Mitchel is a Douche!

I think that in light of all that has happen with this record being broke, Billy Mitchel should have to also stand up and say that Steve Wiebe is the best in the world and that once again he beat him fair and square. Why do I say that you ask? I say it for many reasons. Video games are a very important part of children’s lives at some point. They are a great way to teach kids good hand eye coordination, and also helps them in learning to compete and to be fair and respectful. The way that Billy Mitchell acted about the whole thing was in bad taste. Respect the man and the accomplishment that he made. It keeps a dying game alive and it keeps people into the gaming world.

My word to Steve Wiebe. Congratulations Steve once again you have shown the world that you can beat Billy’s score and do it in front of the eyes of America. You have shown me that if you stick to something, and compete at a high enough level you can be successful. Keep all the good work! Please do not stop at this because you know that Billy will not. I love seeing a deserving person at the top of that leader board!

Have a great day Gaming World!

I said GOOD DAY SIR!
