"The King of Kong"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Kong

As the title says, The King Of Kong is what I will be discussing.

If you have not watched this movie and you are a gamer or maybe your not - watch this movie.

Basically, it's a story about a Guy who's the best at King Kong in the entire world and the world of competitive retro gaming. I am not talking about Counter Strike tourneys or anything like that, I am talking about PacMan, Frogger, Galaxia, Mr. Doo, King Kong, Marble Madness...etc.

There is much suspicion about a tape that shows a guy beating a high score and it's reviewed by a panel of experts etc etc...

At one point in the film Billy Mitchell says "You can practice it all you want, but when you come to play live that's the only time it counts" I am paraphrasing here but that's the gist of it.

If you have a netflix account, you can instantly stream it. Youtube also has it in parts but it's severely edited.

The CCIE is like this - you either are prepared or you are not. You are either ready to take down the lab and prove you know what you are doing or FAIL.

Really good movie, like I said if you play games at all you might relate to these guys. Obsessive, compulsive and perfectionists - kind of like those people who chase the CCIE.

I am not as obsessive as these folks, but watch this movie and you will understand what I am saying!!
