A few nights ago I was just about to go to sleep when I stumbled upon a film entitled “The King of Donkey Kong, A fist full of quarters”. All hopes of getting a good nights sleep were soon thrown right out the window. For the next 2 hrs I was completely glued to my TV like never before. When it was finally over it was 2AM and I my life was completely changed.
PLEASE do yourself a favor and watch this film. Here is the basic premise. The film centers on 2 rival “gamers” that in 2006 are trying to set the all-time high score in the seemingly irrelevant original Donkey Kong arcade game. You have a classic battle between Good and Evil.
The antagonist of the film- Billy Mitchell.
Arguably the worlds most famous competitive gamer. You might know him as the first man ever to get a perfect score on Pacman, or more likely you might not know him at all. I don’t know want to ruin the movie for you but think of if Lucas Wunsch fucked Lucas Wunsch and had a kid. That kid would be Billy Mitchell.
A few fun facts about Billy
-He always wears an American flag tie (he has his reasons…which you will have to watch the film to find out)
-Mitchell was voted “Dweebus Maximus Dorkus of both the 20th and 21st centuries”.
-He has a minion of loyal followers who are somehow ever dorkier than him.
The protagonist of the film is mild mannered Steve Wiebe.
A complete life failure who cries quite a bit. After you get to know him you really can’t help but route for this pathetic family man. He has honestly failed at everything he has ever done in his entire life, but he has one last chance to vindicate his existence on this planet. You guessed it the 1970’s arcade game DONKEY KONG!!!!!!!!!!!!
