The Knock Off returns to Zombies Ate My Arcade (my house) to celebrate DK mediocrity.



Do you wish you were good enough at Donkey Kong to appear in The Kong Off competitions, but you're just... not?



Is the closest you've ever come to dodging barrels next to Billy Mitchell firing off a deuce next to him at Arcade Expo?



It's okay. You're going to be alright. I understand your struggle... all too well:

Luckily for you, you pathetic bastards, I'll be hosting the 3rd incarnation of The Knock Off on Saturday, October 1st, at 1pm, in the year 2016. Those bringing games are welcome to start staging at 12pm.



Let's fill my living room with Donkey Kong machines, eat, drink, and engage in assorted shenanigans. If you'd like to bring a game, please post in this thread so that we can get a machine count going.



I also have a couple of small game rooms in my house that'll be open for business, and I'm hoping my Ghostbusters Premium will be in the house by then.



Let's do this thing!

too bad its not closer. a trip that far would require a semi to haul back all the crap i am sure i would find....LOL
 
How many machines you want me to bring, Dave?

Got my dedicated DK
Got my DKJr that Kraj could mod to play something DKish
Could bring a JAMMA cab and configure a 60-1 to play DK only

I'll ask Mike if we can borrow Starfighter's DK again.

Who knows... Maybe even Brien and Joe's DKs will work at this one. :rolleyes: :D



JANKY KONG MUST BE THERE PAUL

2 or 3 would be nice
 
Um, does Billy know about that pic? (I can just imagine if he does, he's thinking 'I'm so famous people take pics of themselves taking a shit next to me!')

And yes, Billy, we all know it's you by the shoes... :D

Will there be a late night viewing of The King Of Kong?

That would be cool.

Count me in. I will bring the Crazy Kong.

PS. Dave you need to print that photo out in 11 x 17 and frame it. It would be better yet if you could get Billy to sign it. LOL!!

Hahahaha!
It was definitely him. He got out of the stall as I washed my hands. I snapped the pic as a gag, but truth be told, I've chatted with him a few times now, and he couldn't have been nicer each time. I felt kind of bad about the "little deuce poop" pic, but the opportunity was just too funny to pass up.

Alright, pie smashers. Let's get the creative juices flowing.

Anyone interested in tackling the marquee art? I'm open to whatever your creative brains come up with that looks cool (or delightfully awful), but I was thinking that it could be fun to incorporate some sort of 3D theme. That seemed to be a tried-and-true third installment gimmick of the 80's.

And since it's going to be at "Zombies Ate My Arcade," I wouldn't mind a horror theme to the artwork either. A mashup of horror and 3D would be sweet! Zombie Kong/Mario/Pauline, ghost flames, bat barrels, I dunno...

Again, I'm open to whatever. I possess no artistic talent in this area (though if you want someone to compose music for something you're working on or help you conceptualize your game room - I'm your guy).

What else would you guys like to see for The Knock Off III?
 
I'm just pulling your leg, Dave. If anyone else wants to do it, that's fine. The only thing I would add is I've always tried to use rip-off bootleg Donkey Kong Graphics because it is a knockoff event.

I don't think anyone else here has the artistic prowess to pull it off. So if you're up to it, it's all yours, man! The art for the first two was badass.
