With the kill screen the whole thing is now random and quite stupid. You never know how high the score will go before the kill screen screws you. Pointless high score if you ask me.

And how about the fact that beating Donkey Kong in the first place is all just AI pattern memorization? lamesauce. There's nothing I hate more than games that are "mastered" by exploiting knowledge of the base programming.

Oh, it's not the two plus hours of grueling gameplay. It's not getting through 116.5 levels of continuous point pressing without making more than 5 mistakes. It's just AI pattern memorization. K.

It may be silly to many to play and memorize a game to such a point as the newest champion has but, it's still impressive. Good job.

To quote one of the coolest phrases you can hear at an arcade:

"There's a Donkey Kong Kill Screen coming up!"

It's not just about random memorization or exploiting the programming it's about watching someone with an incredible love of the game best it and see how well they've done at the end.

Now to see how Mitchell responds to this......

The guy who said that in King of Kong was the biggest douche in the world.

You've never clearly seen someone hit that or any other big record in real life have you? It's something to be proud about as a gamer, heck I'd make someone start shouting about it if I was about to get there.

hehe, the kill screen scene is hilarious

Wiebe is a lovable guy, but having another competitor makes things fresh and interesting

Very impressive!! Now Steve Wiebe has to return to reclaim record.
