Huh, I thought Wiebe came off almost as bad as Kuh.
[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]I mean, the guy burst into tears at the unfairness of it all when no one gave a shit about his high score in Donkey Kong. Meanwhile, he's got a hot wife with a jaw like Mariel Hemingway, two kids, a house with a garage, a shitty job teaching stupid kids and his own fuckin' Donkey Kong machine. I'm sure he worked his ass off for all that stuff, but he's still a lucky guy. You think any one of Billy Wilson's toadies, or even his own fat friend, wouldn't trade places with him in an instant? Looking vaguely like a pudgy Nathan Fillion does not make you Captain Mal, and playing the victim in your friend's documentary does not make you sympathetic. The tipping point for my opinion of Steve came when he turned his back on Mr. Awesome. Did he do it because he didn't want to ruffle any feathers, or because he didn't want it to look like he had a support structure of his own (I guess we were supposed to just forget about his posse of documentarians)? Overall, though, I liked the film. The decision to paint the real-life competition as one big meta-game of Donkey Kong - with Steve as Mario and Billy as the elusive gorilla - was a stroke of genius, even if they had to fudge the numbers a little to make it work. And if there's one thing I love to hate, it's a <a href="funny arcade">community</a> of <a href="quarter to three">nerds.</a>[/quote]
