“Yeah, I’m pretty nasty at Donkey Kong, B. You should go check my high-score.”

-Eminem (high score: 229,100*)

*Marshall’s got himself a pretty respectable score there. For comparison, the all-time Donkey Kong high score is held by either Steve Weibe or Billy Mitchell, and hovers around 1,000,000 points. The dispute between these two and Twin Galaxies, the corrupt-as-fuck nerd lair that keeps record of classic video game high scores, is chronicled in the 2007 doc “The King of Kong“. For the record, WTPWB backs Weibe, if for no other reason than — on film at least — Billy Mitchell and Twin Galaxies founder Walter Day seem like huge d-bags.
