New King of Lies Video

14:52... says all you need to hear about Dwayne's motive.

EDIT: Not to say that KoK wasn't contrived BS... just sayin' you can see plain as day the jealousy this guy possesses.

Kok

Don't know about you guys but to me it was just a fun movie and not a real documentary. I don't really care what's true or not about it. It was fun to watch and I wouldn't form an opinion on Billy or Steve from it (I haven't met either).
 
...

I see king of kong as the same, even though I was involved in the original movie. Entertaining and got a lot of people interested in retro gaming, etc.

On the other hand, I can see Dwaynes point of view. He's a real gamer, im just a collector :)

ps. here are some behind the scene shots I took while filming the KOK

I'm sure Dwayne is a nice guy, but this picture best sums up how his video comes across to me:

The creators of the film even say in the commentary that they set out to make it all about various gamers competing for records and ultimately decided the Donkey Kong thing was far more intriguing after the stories from Roy.

And wow, not to be crude or anything, but I think RTM needs to get outta the house more.

EDIT: Also, check out that Williams row. Dude even has a CP Star Wars showing in the foreground. Nice.
 
Most documentaries cannot be taken at face value and KoK is no different. Dwayne's video is unreal. I can taste the bitterness.

Best lines:
"Ivy League Punks" - Sczerby
and
"...put their effort into taking some night school courses, maybe doing some community service" - beardo at the end
 
It's funny to see people get upset over video games.
When you're 15, it's almost normal. At age 30+, it's kind of pathetic.
Nobody is going to deliver an eulogy over your casket and include
about how you had the highest score on Robotron from 2003-2006.

Hit the nail on the head!!!
 
I'm thinking this isn't the response Dwayne was looking for. I'd mention the HORRID audio normalization throughout the video but I don't really wanna pile on.

Yeah, no disrespect to Dwayne. He's a great guy. It's just too bad that so much effort was put into this.
 
I liked King of Kong, I thought it was a good movie, as did my wife. We also liked High Score, and Chasing Ghosts.

Were there aspects in those movies I didn't care for sure, do they tell the whole story, nope they don't. But do I still find them enjoyable and like watching them sure.

Videos like this just do not help their case at all. There were definitely some geeky people that had parts in the movie, but the people whining in this video are just at a whole different level. If I was making a movie, I would cut these people out of it as well.

I think there was only one way KoK could have made it into the public spotlight (and thereby making money), and that was the way they did it.

I think Gozer's pic comparison with the Britney guy is pretty good; the only difference is that he was entertaining.

Ya, I think even worse is from 18:00 to 19:00. Stealing intellectual property ? Calling Steve W a F@#$%ing asshole...wow. And they act like Steve and Billy are phonies, as if they didn't really get high scores, or had someone else playing the game for them.

I liked the movie, watched it several times. There are a lot of serious things in this world that cause turmoil in my life, when video games or movies start adding to it... I'll get out and do something else! Coin up and relax!
