In an effort to remember the good ol’ days (yah know, the 80s), Seth and I rented The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters recently. Celebrating the age old tale of victory for the common man over the celebrity god figure, The King of Kong follows a man trying to beat the world record for the highest Donkey Kong score. The drama unfolds as we find out that not only has the record been held by one man since 1982, but also that that man is a video game god of sorts. The journey takes us behind the scenes into the ups and downs of video game addiction and the culture of professional gamers. Overall a great watch, even for those on the other side of the gaming fence – like yours truly.
