Donkey Kong Record Attempt: Today!

Just wanted to slam this link up on my blog for anyone who wants to check it out. It's a live text feed of the current battle for the Donkey Kong world record score. Unfortunately it's not a video, but at least there's something up!

If you've ever seen The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, you'll recognize Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe, the two champs from that documentary. As of late, however, a new challenger has stepped up his game and set a new all-time top score: a plastic surgeon named Hank Chien. His new record of 1,090,400 points is what all three competitors are attempting to shatter today.

Personally, I've always been a fan of Wiebe...so I'm rooting for him!
