New DK WR attempt?

Heckuva score. Bet he has gunk on his rom chips though. I can't get much passed 200k.
 
Not bad. It might reduce his street cred, but his geek cred just shot through the roof.
 
This is kinda interesting. Picture a music / fashion / good-looking acting celeb snagging the high score for one or more of the most beloved arcade machines. Now picture how that would affect everything.

Would geeky people get a boost because non-geeky celebs (or, at least, celebs not perceived as geeky) were participating? Would celebs lose a bit of their social standing? Would geeks abandon the arcade high-score thing altogether because they no longer "owned" the pasttime?

I really can't tell which way stuff would swing.
 
As much as I love DK this news doesn't make me like him any more than I did before hearing this....

Dr. Dre would join KLOV and start buying everyone's games.
 
Being the top moneymaker in the music business last decade (2000-2010), he can probably afford a machine that can be certified to win the title.
 
That's pretty cool. What's next? A song about DK?

You know what rhymes with Kong?

Bong.

So yeah, I think this has promise.

I like a good chunk of his music, so I'm down for a tune with some DK samples.

And that score's pretty damn sweet. It handily demolishes my high score. Well played, Mr. Mathers.

You don't have to have a certified machine any more, but you do need to have all original stuff (board, joystick, etc) and follow a huge checklist when recording your game.
 
Basically, you need to lay the machine on it's side and then bend over it backwards for Twin Galaxies in order to get a score submitted.
 
i am not a rap fan, but i do appreciate his freestyle skills and rhymes. of the genre, he is one of the best. snoop dogg is pretty dang good too.

i think its great he plays donkey kong.
 
Just wait til all the CL sellers see this. Now their $1500 DK machine is going to be worth $3000+.
