King of Kong

man, shit is intense

shit, down to last life, about 600k

I went to the place where the King of Kong was filmed http://www.classicarcademuseum.org/ last summer. It's amazing!!

way to go, E, you come in and jinx it!!

damn, but that was impressive.

oh wait shit, what happened? sorry. :-(

haha he lost his last man with about 650k. i think he's going to try again later tho

haha it's funny how ordinary certain situations are for him...so many times i screamed at the screen OH NO U IDIOT NOOO but he got out of it like it was nothing

intense, he seems to struggle with the rivet screens doesn't he

wtf, someone just posted an ilx link on the chat feed ?!

huh?

lol the cameras have cut out

Yes! He's really a joy to watch. The thing that bugged me a bit about the film was the fact there wasn't actually much footage of him just playing, so this is great.

look's like he's started yet again, for the fourth time, as there was a convenient power cut when he was having a great third game.

this guy just has no luck does he

He keeps doing this thing where a barrel will be rolling left to right, and he'll do a BACKWARDS left to right jump, and land it. It's amazing!

yeah this game is brutal, and he's making it look like any old toff could get past even the first screen - but they ruddy can't!

life gone, but at just under 300000 points that was pretty awesome.

this is pretty awesome.
Those moonwalk jumps are crazy.

seriously? i saw that death coming a mile away

Ah shite. That really looked like a tiredness error, so it's maybe all over for today.

i think autopilot has kicked in

but this might not be enough to enable all the scoring tricks to get a high score tho.

10,000 viewers now!

shit, ive gotta leave in five minutes

He's over 900K!

argh, my stream keeps locking up!

920!

refreshing fixes it, this is amazing stuff

love that glitch with the fireballs all trapped

Anyone been counting screens? The kill comes at 117, don't know how many more he's got.

people on the chat (who I trust more than ANYONE) say that he can't beat the top score now matter what he does, not enough levels left.

Hope he makes it - the web stream is choking now at 10,700 viewers (though it'll drop thousands randomly) and the score at 970k, but I guess he'll try again tomorrow if he doesn't make it.

Aw shit, there it is!

Damn, 989k, and he still had an extra life left!

aw that's a shame. terrific entertainment though.

also, fair play to him playing this in front of so many people. I wonder if he knew at any point that 10,000 people were viewing on line.

:((

saw this last night and thought it was good.

biggest douche in this movie is easily Brian Kuh

He also thinks there is a limit to what humans can achieve in the game.

so theres no telling what mitchell can do

"Billy is sort of retired, and I've never met the man, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did something surprising."

Steve Wiebe once again regained the world record in September 2010, with a score of 1,064,500
