I am the new King of Kong!
In my last post I mentioned the documentary King of Kong, which I finally watched last night. This movie has officially changed my life. I have decided to quit my job and become the next Donkey Kong world champion. I figure it can’t be that hard since I’ve been playing video games most of my life. Jump over a few barrels, avoid some fireballs, rescue the girl. Easy. Maybe I should call the Guinness World Record people now to make sure they know how to spell my name.
I’ll need to eventually buy a Donkey Kong cabinet but in the meantime I can practice on MacMAME. In fact, I think I will take a break from writing this post and play a couple rounds.
Fuck.
Shit!
This game is motherfucking hard. I hate that monkey.
Ok, this is going to be a little more challenging than I thought. I can barely reach the third board and my current high score is 12,000 points, which is about 1,038,200 points shy of the record.
Looks like I going back to work Monday.
