I disagree, I thought the trailer was really well done.   Short but very sweet.   I'm pumped about this!  Definitely going to listen in that day.   There should be some sort of contest I could enter to win a trip to be there to watch.  :)
+1 on the GO WIEBE!

Didn't Steve Wiebe recently break the high score for Donkey Kong?  I think on the website it rated his new score as the highest possible or 100%.  Either way, I still loathe Billy Mitchell

Thanks for the compliment on the video.  We are really pumped about this as well.  I can't wait to see Billy and Steve go at it but Hank might surprise everyone.  There are 7 other guys too that all have a chance at being the top scorer that weekend as well.  I would love it to be an annual thing but not sure if it has enough interest for that but who knows.  I mean hell if the TV show Jersey Shore can make it why can't this right?
Thanks again for the compliment.  We are doing this all to keep our hobby for dying out.

I'm rooting for Mitchel! The guy has confidence, personality, and isn't some sensitive emo whiner.

The whole underdog story is so cliché.

"Play to win."  -- Exactly. Go Billy!

Billy Mitchell reminds me of Larry Bird. Back when they started the NBA 3-Point contest, they got together a bunch of the best shooters. Right before the contest, everyone was getting ready. Bird walked in, looked at everyone in the room, and asked the group which one of them was playing for second place. He knew he was going to win it, and he was cocky about it, but he backed up that statement by winning the contest three years in a row.

I think of this story whenever I see Billy Mitchell.

I have only seen King Of Kong and some web stuff on Mitchel. He does seem a bit assinine, but he seems to back it up... with VIDEO.. why is it so hard for him to actually do it (play games?) with people? I may have missed alot since KOK, maybe he is showing up for events now.

I am suprised at all the man love for Billy, In KoK he came off like a jackass, now if he is one in real life or not, I dont know, many people said the editing in that movie was kinda played up to make him the bad guy.

All i know is if he is really as he is made out to be, he is an ass, plain and simple, if not.. sorry for saying it, as judging sombody buy some interviews and such is a poor way to make a judgement.

If we where talking about rescuing people or cureing cancer, the "play to win" motto is correct. but its a friggin video game.. being an ass about that is ... well ...

Just an opinion

I've never met the man.  He is an ass in every interview I've ever seen, but I think it's all in the name of self promotion.
If he didn't tell you how great he was, how would you know?  He's a businessman first.  Being boring is not good business.

I respect your opinion, and my rebuttal would be, if you're rescuing people or curing cancer and you're taking it as playing a game, then I would be scared to put my life in your hands. So...no, that motto is not appropriate for those professions. Yes, it's a friggin game. Games are meant to be played, meant to be won. Games without winning are not called games...they're called Ultimate Frisbee :D :lol

The guy has confidence, ambition and has been successful in life. But yet people hate him because of the things he says in the public eye. Man, it give wonder of all the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- I've said...people must hate me. :D

i think its all a game, with far more Boss fights we cant win without another life (to bad we are all working with a single quarter). My guess is, as so many say its all about self promotion, time and history shows nice guys finish last (and I would love quote from the movie "THE ROCK", even if I dont follow that way of thinking, it was an awsome quote) in most everything (but not always thankfully). Im glad im just so-so.. hehehe

and yes very poor comparision by me.. games and human life..  Maybe i should of said when it matters, do your utmost, when your playing a game, have fun... But I guess for some, the fun is beating the other player, never was for me. just different mindsets, nobody is wrong or right in that.

Definitely throwing my support for Billy Mitchell. While it is cool that Steve and Hank got into Kong recently, Billy is old school.  Billy reminds me of the guys (specifically his 80s footage) of the good players I would see in arcades...geeks in all other aspects but in the arcade they were Kings and could back their arrogance.  

Being an old school arcade gamer myself I gotta go with the guy who enjoyed the game back when it was first out and popular.  Plus his smug act is just awesome.

Billy Mitchell winning this contest would completely benefit my career but Hank Chien is a local guy and really a tremendous story so I am sort of torn.  But yet again what do I know.  I just want it to go back and forth for 48 hours straight Between Billy, Steve, Hank and an Unknown.

FYI I have spent Many Many hours with Billy Mitchell and his confidence comes across arrogant to most but the guy has a heart of gold.  He just loves competition.  If he was a QB of your Football team you would love him but all the other fans would hate him.  I think it is just how competition goes.  I am randomly babbling now hahahha.

Thanks everyone for all the posts.  I am stoked i have sparked an interest.

Not babbling at all. That is completely how I picture him to be and why I referred to to his smugness as "smug act".  And the QB analogy is perfect and again goes along with how i picture him.

Thanks for the link

I appreciate it.

I just posted a photo from a video frame grab I took.

http://thekongoff.com/photos/eventphotos/

It is of Steve Sanders, Billy Mitchell, Hank Chien and Richie Knucklez of www.richieknucklez.com

If you could pass along this link via facebook or anything it would be greatly appreciated and yes I am begging  :cheers:

I throw in with Billy as well.  He's been an important part of these games for a while, and in truth, Wiebe owes a lot to Billy.  Without him, the score and the film wouldn't have been much.  The story was only interesting in the fact that that Mitchell set such a high standard once upon an time, and the filmmakers went a bit too far to vilify him.  I'm not true old school player, but Billy's attitude and quotes (as corny as they may be) definitely sum up what competitive gameplay is all about.

Hank Chien is pretty damned awesome himself coming out of nowhere and schooling guys who've been into the game for 20 or 30 years.

But yeah, I love the concept, everyone having ample time to prepare and us getting to see who does better on the day.

You are 100% correct.   Billy Mitchell has opened doors for all competitive gaming.  It doesn't matter if you like him or hate him but you have to respect what he has done for video games.  I can go on and on but I will spare ya all.

But I did start going through my video footage from thetronoff.com event and found a bunch of great video still in HD



If you guys can here is a link with a facebook share button on it.   I could use all the publisity i can get.  Yes I am in beg mode hahahha

I'll post more if you guys want.

Um.... it hasn't happened yet .   :D

I could care less anyways. Heard enough about the Kong Off that all I imagine is some huge gorilla back off in a corner somewhere, well... you know.
Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.

Not sick of the updates over here, I wish I lived in the area! Well, here's to plenty of kill screens and maybe a world record this weekend.  :cheers:

So I'm curious, it looks like you had 10 shiny new DKs for the event? Are they Repro's or refurbished? How did you go about quality checking each machine?

They are all refurbished.  Richie Knucklez even had all the cabinets repainted by Maacco. 



also original Donkey Kong Back Doors



I filmed this from my Motorolla Droid btw.  I didn't have my HD Panasonic hmc 150 with me.  So the quality is only SD.

Who is selling illegal 60 in 1 multicades?  

 Are you implying Billy Mitchell or Richie Knucklez because I can assure you they are not.

Or are you just busting my balls?

Either way it is all good just want to keep the record straight and we don't need any false rumors.

Yeah, a passion for selling illegal 60 in 1 multicades, too.   ;D

I actually looked into the possibility of attending the event. But it was just too expensive to fly from the UK plus car rental, hotel, etc.etc. Flight alone to Allentown was about £430. Shame as I would love to be there.

Love the KongOff marquees you had specially made for the machines. Are the cabs individually numbered too? I saw one bezel with "12 of 12" in the corner. And are all the machines running the same boards? As in the same version rom chips? I would be interested in one of those cabs when you are done but I fear shipping to UK would be just too prohibitive. You guys are so lucky to be able to source cabs like this. Make sure to get the bezel or marquee signed by the main guys.  ;)
