    Anyone seen it?
    Man some of those guys turned out weird:confused:
    Am I one of them:eek:

    For anyone wondering what I'm on about
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479879/

    Is up on the torrent sites but its the screener/uncut version which I believe the actual released one is slightly different

    Worth a watch anyway for nostalgic reasons

    I've watched it and loved it.It was kinda different to a King of Kong as it didn't have the competitive theme running through it.Imo it's more like a documentary than a movie .Walter Day still comes across as a tool in it though.Overall, it's excellent viewing.

    Cool. Liked King of Kong, so I'll get this.

    Whilst in the retro part of my local video store, I also found "High Score" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808299/

    I watched it on youtube, apart from the first 10 minutes, which had no sound.
    I must find more footage of Mr Awesome. Here's his reaction to his high score being beaten:

    There is another gaming documentary called "FRAG", It's not about retro games, it's about the more recent phenomenon of the big cash prize PC gaming tournaments. I wouldn't rate it as high as any of the aforementioned documentaries, but it worth a watch.

    I've seen the BBC Tetris one, interesting story.
