at one point i thought perhaps this was a joke ….like a blair witch thing because it is just to awesome to be true but it is all real.

Just a great great film and I highly recommend you all go and see it if you get a chance before we get some dramatized version which I am sure must be in the works…..I will be surprised if a studio is not planning on making a film out of this…you couldn’t write a better story. A true underdog tale….

fantastic.

High Score nuts come from all over. My friends wife bested the DR Mario world record without even realizing it (records need to be video taped in order to count) so there is a game out there for everyone.

And unlike sports, its just you and the machine.

I hope it opens in Madison, WI (great indie scene here, and LOTS OF GAMERS), but I’d travel to Minneapolis or Chicago.

Christopher Guest movies are brilliant, but real life characters like this are even more enjoyable to watch. (i.e. American Movie)

A Kong game-off? Hysterical.

Love the trailer you put up. I’m really interested on seeing this now. I love how serious they are about the DK game, brings a smile to my face.
