I really got a kick out of Billy Mitchell's little stooges (esp. the one guy who had something like the #4 donkey kong score or something). I also found it amusing when different people at the east coast arcade would be introduced as "the #1 Mappy player" or the "all-time Defender champ". It was pretty funny.

I also enjoyed seeing Billy Mitchell doing his scouting excursion to check out Wiebe (but not talk to him). Very funny stuff.

Yeah the extreme terminology for the video game niche was hilarious - such
as when the other Donkey Kong expert walked around the arcade announcing
Wiebe was approaching a "kill screen" and people should check it out. It
seems every niche has their expert qualifications that 99% of the population
could care less about. Oh, I also forgot to mention "Mr. Awesome" - what's
up with that guy <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3gW_91bjkg>?
