    Looks like Steve is about halfway there, so far.

    Nathan!! Any chance we'll see Billy Mitchell do this??
  • arch_8ngelarch_8ngel
    Has ANYBODY seen Billy Mitchell play live in the last decade?

    Feed no longer active. Was he able to beat the record?

    EDIT: According to wikipedia:
    "On June 2, 2009, Steve reached a score of 923,400 points at E3 2009
    during his first attempt that day. On his second attempt, he reached
    653,700. A third attempt was interrupted by a brief power failure.
    After power was restored, Wiebe made a fourth attempt in which he
    reached 989,400 points before the kill screen ended his final attempt.
    These attempts were broadcast online via G4TV."

    Guess not image ( The records is 1,050,200 )

    wow, I had to pinch myself, then check the dates on this thing to make sure it wasn't an old thread! Welcome back Vito!

    I watched Steve the entire day. I don't have much of a life. But I can now say I've seen a Donkey Kong kill screen live. image



    I don't really understand what Steve was thinking the last game. When he reached the last screen, he still had another life. He could have purposely killed himself on the previous barrel stage to milk a lot more points.



    Maybe he just wanted to show the world a kill screen, and needed an extra life to ensure he'd get there? If so, he's a pretty selfless guy.

    Aww... I've been waiting for this. Is he gonna try again, or is it game over?

    That's an interesting thought.  This is the only kill screen to be widely broadcast live.

    I think he missed the score by close to 60,000 which is likely why he didn't bother with dying to milk points. It wouldn't have been enough.

    I want him to win so bad. I feel like he deserves it.

    And it's Steve Wiebe....not Weibe.....come on Vito....I before E, except after C.

    Yeah, Steve played it a lot safer on the last run and skipped some point pressing opportunities because that is some of what killed him early the previous couple games. So he gets to the end of the game very alive (with an extra couple guys) but just a bit too low on points. Still though... what the hell? I love DK and play it regularly and he makes it look so easy.

    I hope someone recorded the stream or that G4 will have it archived... I'd love to watch it again at my leisure image
