A case where the specific becomes universal - you don't need to know anything about the arcade game world to become sucked into the depiction of petty power games and (perhaps sad in any another context) one-upsmanship between these brutal competitors; proof positive that any hermetically sealed community at even the lowest levels is rife with ugly back-biting and snarky sabotage. Certainly plays as much more fun than I'm likely describing, with Wiebe and Mitchell endearing protagonists.

Oh my god this is my 1337th film logged on here. Couldn't have been more appropriate, honestly. The things that editing and subjects can do to a story make the most difference.

Cool documentry till you find out that Billy Mitchel cheated like 5-10 years later. The thing is I already knew that he cheated by the way he beat pac man..Then they confirmed that he cheated in Donkey Kong..But is that so different than a 5 min Mario run where they go through a brick wall??? I mean him beating it on mame is probably more impressive.

When I watched this for school, half the class thought that these two had no lives, the other half, which I was a part, totally related to Steve Wiebe. There are some things in life that you're very dedicated to and you don't care if other people think you're a loser for it. There are also some people who don't care who want to take your accomplishments away from you like Billy Mitchell and Twin Galaxies. Is it too much to ask to be the best at one thing?

Since the release of this film it has come out that Billy Mitchell's record run was played on an emulator and not an actual arcade machine, leading to him being removed from the record books. This only further highlights how much of a sick joke it is for Wiebe to be jerked around over his record-breaking runs. More emphasis on Billy's perspective would have been appreciated, to make his fall all the sweeter. The film itself is serviceable, though notably dishonest at times.
