He isn't. Don't trust everything you see in King of Kong. The majority of it is ---smurf-poop---.

You've met him?

In the movie they were trying to make him the "villain" of the piece...in other interviews I have seen he does come across a lot more humble and not near as obsessed about video games...in one interview he even mentions he goes months without playing.
The problem with film is that you only see what the director behind the lens wants you to see.

No, but a friend did a little while back after the arcade burned down:

In all honesty, he's really awesome to fans. He was willing to travel to the middle of nowhere to bs for hours about games. Very inviting and nice. Pretty eccentric, but that's no crime.
At this event in Ottumwa, a bunch of people went to eat at "The Canteen" which was an old hang out for them in the 80s. They had an eating contest (him and Steve Sanders, Tim McVey, and others) and he kept hiding how many Canteens he had eaten. He ended up winning by like 8-4 because he was hiding the wrappers as he ate, and the whole time Walter Day was badgering him to get back to the event. Pretty hilarious.

While I think they did intend to include barrel control, I don't think they intended it to be used by the player. I imagine they did it they way they did so the barrels would shoot down a ladder as you ran toward it, to make it harder. Having the player use this to their advantage was probably an unintended consequence.
