Hi all. Just caught this doco-movie the other day. Has anyone else seen it?

Bloody hilarious... You could not script video game geeks better if you tried.

Billy Mitchell = Legend :D

My favourite was Brian Kuh.

"There's a kill screen if anyone's interested"

"Donkey Kong kill screen coming up"

etc.

Classic underdog story.

Even if they play fast and loose with the truth.

A feature is in development with a 2010 release date...

Thanks for that :thumbsu:

I reckon Ben Stiller would be perfect for the Billy Mitchell role. It's his kind of role to a tee plus he has the eyes!

Yeah, brilliant.

I've come across a few Billy Mitchell's in their niche. Not quite operating at his level, but they all share a few things in common: appalling dress sense, appalling hair styling and appalling facial hair. Add the monster ego and you've got one unbearable prick.
