The king of nerds

I saw the nerdiest movie ever tonight. I defy you to find one nerdier. It's called "The King of Kong" and it's a documentary. A documentary about...

Donkey Kong.

seriously. It's about this huge (and I do mean huge...world war II pales in comparison to the way these guys talk about the whole thing) rivalry between these two incredible nerds and their ultimate quest to obtain the highest score.

But that's understable. nerdy, but understandable. But there are tournaments and they are super serious, and then there are these other people, who are video game referees. Which wouldn't be so funny except they take themselves too seriously (no, actually, it would be so funny). And there's a website that records the highest scores and is officially recognized by guiness book of world records.

and these gamers, who were probably laughed at and excluded in their youth, are more cliquey and ruthless and childish than most children. It's actually sad.

I can say I feel a lot less nerdy after watching it. Though I do have an urge to play donkey kong.
