Donkey Kong: "World Record Holder"
Posted: Thursday August 12th, 2010

Yesterday I mentioned Billy Mitchell and the reclamation of his Donkey Kong World Record. What I didn't mention was that after telling Stormhaven my idea to have Billy bribing Donkey Kong to take a fall, she rattled off several ideas. They were all good. Initially we discussed the idea was to just load the week with them. But, ultimately we decided that, though the world record is notable, a week of Billy Mitchell wasn't exactly high on the "yeah we should do that" list.
It should be noted though, Billy doesn't really have the time to just stand around outside of game stores pestering kids that have no idea who he is. Gaming isn't his job; it's his hobby. Billy owns a chain of restaurants in Florida and uses the brand name to sell hot sauces. He also wears patriotic ties and I've never actually seen him in a tshirt. **whistles** Hello artistic license. It's so nice to see you again.
Edited to add:
Since I didn't really give you guys an interesting subject to talk about above, please feel free to talk about your favorite arcade games/experiences.
