I'm not saying it isn't amazing to watch, but put that kid on a Stargate machine and he's still gonna die in 30 seconds. :)

Exactly - it's all memorization. That is why guitar hero has a mode where you can slow any song down to the point you can memorize it.

Uhhh guys......Pac Man IS memorizing. ALL the patterns ! The ghosts ALWAYS act the same.
For us Europeans these guys are very weird indeed. I still like them, they are different ! They give some color to the world. :)
Walter Day declared himself the official world record keeper. If you keep saying it everybody starts to believe it. (the emperor's clothes).
There's a guy from the UK who smashed "Mr.Awesome"'s high score on MC but it was never recorded.
Anyway, I watched it a second time and I must say my world (collecting and restoring classic arcade games) has NOTHING to do with the guys who try to get world records. It's two different worlds.
I was amused by that older guy who was a Berzerk pro. Quite the technician. Knows how to operate HAM-radio, but trying to power up a game a zillion times is not going to fix it....
