Steve Wiebe is the King of Kong Again

Anyone who watched 'The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters' knows the epic struggle for global Kong dominance waged by Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell. Wiebe took back the crown by scoring 1,064,500-points which was officially verified. And if you haven't seen the movie, go watch it. You won't be sorry.

    Sorry, he took back the crown. For now. I'm assuming Mitchell isn't dead, or that at least Donkey Kong still exists and there are a few players left out there.

    Someone will eventually come by and score 1,064,501 points or more. If this was important enough to Weibe to make the sacrifices he did to reclaim the crown in the first place, it'll almost certainly be just as important to him to win back the crown the next time his score gets beaten.

    Hopefully he'll chalk this one up as a victory and move on to other things. Alternatively, maybe his kids will get lucky and Dad will sustain a very, very slight and preferably painless injury, just enough to cost him any possible chance of beating his own score without affecting his dexterity in any other meaningful way. Then if he's lucky enough to still have his children interested in him, he'll develop more of an interest in them.
