Hank Chien is the new King of Kong?

Good for him I guess,not that I really care much about that kind of stuff.It's like the hot dog eating champion and other record holders like that.You get your 15 minutes of fame I guess and then you quickly fall back into obscurity,whoopiedado!

But you aren't posting on a site that preserves the construction of the hotdog.
 
naw, anyone can eat a bunch of hot dogs. it takes skill and hand eye coordination to play a game like donkey kong and be best in the world at it. because of how popular the film was, i have no doubt there are probably more people playing the game now than at any point since the early 1980s. i doubt this guy will get much fame, and thats not really what its about anyways. how many things do you do better than anyone else in the world???
 
more than 11,000 more than Billy. Damn that's a nice score. Anyone think Billy has it in him to take this score back? I don't.

Didn't he pull up like 5 screens short to "keep it close"? I kinda want Billy to take it back, and I'm sure he will.

Billy already has the footage recorded - he's just waiting to bring it out during Hanks presentation of the record... :rolleyes:

LLLLLOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is hilarious. I think Kuh is flying somewhere with a glitchy video tape right now.
 
But his name doesn't roll off the tongue like Billy's or Steve's. Nice score though.
 
Wow. Is there a video on Youtube or something where we can watch some of these runs (not the entire thing - just some levels for tips)? I'd like to see how he maximizes points on the first level using 2 hammers. I can't reliably make it to the top if I grab that first hammer...
 
He's a decent DK player, for a plastic surgeon, must be in the hand eye coordination. That put a damper on Billy's master plan for sure.

Steve Weibe's TG submitted video is available for sale on classicarcadegaming.com if you click right here.

I have a copy and it's excellent, unedited, exactly the same as what was submitted.
 
I don't think Billy will recapture the title, because I honestly don't think he cares to. It's a lot of work.

I think the only reason he did it before, was because he had been portrayed so negatively in that movie.

The simple fact is the guy is phenomenal, and I feel he has the talent to do it if he chose to.. I just don't feel he cares that much about it.
 
I thought it was pretty cool how Billy stopped just a little above the record to sort of keep the rivalry going. It will be interested to see who responds to it. Meanwhile, congrats Hank!!!
