Has anybody else seen this documentary? It's about the kids/guys who have the high scores in the video arcade game world. I heard about it and finally watched it. I'm speechless on what I saw. lol

    They are playing it on Showtime this month. Catch it if you can. It's about the guys who hold the video game arcade scores. Like they played with one quarter and racked up these scores. I heard about it but wow to watch it is unreal. These guys are living in another world. There were groupies at these video game championships in the 80's. It's a hoot to watch. LOL

    I've been wanting to see this for a long time. I'm still waiting for it to hit netflix someday as I don't have showtime (although I should get it for Dexter, Weeds and Californication)

    On the topic if you are interested, you should see The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

    Phenominal documentary on the battle for the Donkey Kong world record.
