    Just watched a pretty good Documentary some of you may be interested in seeing (Has a few pins in the background too).
    It's called " The King of Kong". It's about a guys journey to set the high score on Donkey Kong, and some wacky Bull $#!@ roadblocks that he runs in to.
    I watched it (free stream download) on Netflix through Xbox live.

    Definitely worth checking out.

    I will have to check it out. I was watching lost Couple of days ago season 3 and there were two pins in the rec room one was a RFM not sure what the other one was.

    King of Kong is an amazing doc. Having used to live in the Seattle area, I crossed paths with Steve several times. On more than one occasion I'd arrived at the bar a few minutes after opening instead of before, and he'd already be there. Front of the shop, sitting on a stool in front of DK. That would be at 12pm. 12am would roll around, and he would still be sitting in the same spot. I think playing the same game...

    All the way around, if you love games, you gotta watch "A Fistful of Quarters," it's really, really good.

    The believe the other pin was a Cyclone. It was for sale up here last year for way more than book. Not sure if it was a scam.

    "The King of Kong" is one of the most fascinating documentaries I have ever seen. Too bad "Special When Lit" sucked so bad.

    Fascinating doc's...

    Check it out. It's not for everyone, but there are 400+ complete documentaries available for free streaming on their site, or external links too. A lot of history, conspiracy, ufo, religion, human rights, civil rights, and so so much more. Zeitgeist man, Zeitgeist. Watch that video, it will blow your mind.

    Loved King of Kong, and it is a streaming video on Netflix. Nice combination (especially on an ipad...)!
