To watch Steve Weibe try to take the DK world record on G4?
Hopefully, they just cut the crap and show it. That Munn chick and her sidekicks were pretty bad today. A fat balding dude with 3 chins was goofing on Billy Mitchell. I'm no big fan of his, but c'mon. ;D

Uh.... TIVO? DVD Recorder? MythTV even? :cheers:
-
No but I just set my TIVO. Thanks for the reminder. :cheers:

Yea, I'm taping it too. They just said "all day" for the record attempt though, so I'm thinking my DVR wouldn't get everything I wanted to see.
-
Oops I didn't see this thread before starting mine.
It sucks that there is virtually no information about the broadcast. I'm starting to think they are going to show like 5-10 seconds of it per hour just to keep people on that channel. :angry:
-
I have G4 on in the background, but they are streaming the whole DK event on the web. Its linked from the G4TV.com site. He's on his first game now at about 530,000 points but is on his last guy.
I was sort of surprised he didn't bag the game since he has a set amount of time to play. Maybe G4 doesn't want him doing that. ???
-
Looks like the dude has played DK once or twice. Wow. :applaud:
-
Wish they had him mic'd a little better. He's actually talking a lot, but you can really only hear the game. His comments are muffled... He's still on first game now, 652,000 points.
-
They just lost his "face" cam. The game camera is still working. :dizzy:
830k still on first game.
-
His first game is over... 923,400. Killed on cement factory.
-
How long does it take him to get to that score?
-
I think it was just a bit over 2 hours.
-
Yeah, the average game runs about two and a half hours.
-
He lost his first guy at 14k on his second game.
Killed them off and is starting over.
-
I -would- be skipping work if I could get the silly video to load, but I cannot :cry:
-
Its starting to skip a little on me... I guess more west coast people are starting to watch.
CO2 tank in my beermiester just kicked. Not good. :(
-
Man I wish I could get to that website at work...
How's he doing now? And how much longer does he get to play?
-
He's on his second game, second life @446k
-
How about now?
I am done with work in 1.5 hours, so this is probably the last time I will ask. ;D
-
He hasn't played since his last game ended at 653,700
-
Attempt #3 and power has failed at about 200 000 points. All the streaming video screens are now static but the audio is still going and we're hearing people talk about trying to find the problem. ...Also, the audience appears to think that Billy Mitchel has power breaking voodoo powers.

He was probably drying his hair and kicked the circuit breaker for the entire United States.
Steve started another game and he's doing great... 714k with 2 guys left right now.

989,400 :o
He was on a roll and I turned away at around 970,000 to play with the baby for two minutes and came back and he was done. He still had one man left too, what happened on the last man?
-
kill screen.

Each extra guy is just on screen for a couple seconds and dies once you're there.
-
he just got the kill screen with 2 guys left ???????????????????????? 989,400
why on earth didn't he die on the last level of 21 and use that board to get more points?
You don't need to get to the kill screen to get the world record score
I just don't understand
I'm so confused, he could have gotten around at least another 10,000 points, probably enough to turn over the scoreboard at least
-
He's already done that before though. I'm sure he didn't care much after realizing it wasn't going to be possible to beat the score.
I absolutely can't stand that ---smurfy--- G4 channel. I had to watch endless video game promotion/game producer ass kissing with barely 3 seconds of coverage of Wiebe. There was a Viagra type commercial going while he was on the kill screen LOL WTF. Even their crappy web feed hung up and lagged out. :badmood:

They were streaming his attempts non-stop on their website if you had wanted to actually watch it. Streaming a shot of both him playing and a camera focused in on the monitor so you could see what he was doing.
-
Yes, but toward the end it was extremely laggy, sound was disabled, and it hung up completely at the last two levels for me. I missed the end totally. It wasn't just me too (the comments were still going with many others complaining about the lag).
-
kill screen.
Ah, thanks fellas...... I thought he just blew it or something.
Either way, still upset now that I know I missed the kill screen. (just wanted to see it happen once)
I have been taking peeks online off and on all day and the web feed has been kinda crappy.
Especially towards the end of this round. Like mentioned, laggy, no sound, etc.
I was getting a tad frustrated at the image quality of it as well, the majority of the time it was hard to even read the score.
