Today’s Los Angeles Times Calendar section (front page) includes my article “An Epic Battle For Gaming Glory” — about this week’s documentary release of The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters and the engaging good versus evil battle two men took part in, on their way to beating the world record for Donkey Kong.
If you’re one of those people who hates reading the physical paper because it “bleeds on you” or you live outside the L.A. area — you can read the article online here.
Niiiiiice! I got my hands on a screener of the movie and watched it with my hubby. Quite a story!

Who knew you to be such a well polished film critic. Nice work. And for those of you who fear the “bleeding” newsprint, beware the Internet bleeds, too. Only in the form of invisible microwaves to your head just like the old TVs did when you had Donkey Kong for you Atari 2600.

Nanette - Yeah, it’s a very entertaining “yarn.”
Jerry - Faxes, too.
