New DK record.... again!
Set by Hank Chien.... Again!
The WR is now 1,090,400!!!


Also there´s a doku comming...: (From TG)

Rich: You’ve got a film coming to market soon. Tell us about that.

The film is called Doctor Kong. It is a short documentary that provides a glimpse into my life before, during and after the first time I broke the Donkey Kong world record.

I met Alexis Neophytides, a filmmaker, at Barcade in Brooklyn around March 2009. After a few months I got to know her pretty well and she asked if she could make a documentary about me. I’m not sure if it was coincidental, but it was around the time I felt the world record was within my grasp. The first scene was shot in November 2009 at Funspot. Unfortunately for me, I wasn’t able to do it in November, but she said it was fortunate for her film as it would have been “the shortest documentary ever.”

The film is a completely drama free and tells a very positive story. In fact, I would classify it as a feel good comedy. She already had her first screening and it was warmly received. She is going to have future screenings at various film festivals and gaming events. Screenings are already planned at the Kong Off, the Midwest Gaming Classic, and Funspot 13.

".... I'm playing DK so that I can get laid ...."  :shock:

Oh man, he acts and looks like a loser. Too bad. And one of the worst trailers I've ever seen.

Doctor Kong! Who made that up? Someone without any imagination nor marketing skills.

But of course the new world record still is a great achievement.

I find it funny he's a plastic surgeon. I mean, those guys probably need very good eye-hand coordination for their work already, so in a way it's only "logical" that he's so good at Kong....

The other way around, he's probably a great plastic surgeon if he has such good eye-hand coordination to be the WR holder of Kong..... :D :D :D
