[jasonec]

See them battle in Montreal the weekend of April 1st & 2nd - Ça s'en vient!

[jasonec]

Bump - anyone else going this weekend?
You can also get signed posters at the event too....

How long will their games take to play?
Did you see "Man vs Snake" in Netflix? Dudes play for like 50 straight hours.

No idea, but time flies when you're plastered and watching it (I know from experience here)

Wes is in the house! He's practicing for tomorrow

[jasonec]

You can watch it right now on Twitch!
So far, Robbie Lakeman is in the lead - he just got a kill screen a few minutes ago (score 1,119,800)!

I'm mildly disappointed that they didn't have someone walk around saying "Il existe un éventuel écran de destruction de Donkey Kong si quelqu'un est intéressé." (There is a potential Donkey Kong kill screen coming up if anyone is interested.)

Lol Jason, my god that guy was annoying in that movie... all he did was spy for Billy.

Looks like a good time there in Mtl, now we need something in the TO area.

And......Wes Copeland just took the lead with 1,148,000

Here's his kill screen:

Which is why they made this t-shirt

Day 2 was a lot less spectacular - there were a lot more people (it was free admission), so a lot more crowded and much more noisier (you could tell that the noise was getting to both Wes and Robbie) - after many attempts, the highest Wes got was 724,500 and the highest Robbie got was 914,200.

LOL. I was at funspot this weekend with a buddy of mine. On Friday he introduced me to some guy named Robbie. This Robbie guy wasn't sticking around long as he was on his way to Montreal. Turns out it was Robbie Lakeman.

On a side note, Funspot is great, but there was a snowstorm in the area so they closed down at 4 pm on Friday and closed all day Sunday. Ugh. Luckily there was a place called the Pinball Wizard Palace (or something like that) that was about an hour and a half away. So we treked downed there Saturday morning in the snow and salvaged the trip.

Funspot is dirt cheap. 125 tokens for $20. Most games only take a token. The cockpit Star Wars must have been set up wrong because you got 4 games for 1 token. Bargain. Then again I probably wasted 20 tokens on games that either ate them or didn't function properly.

That's awesome - I went to Funspot 2 years ago and had a blast too (cheap, lots of games, food is decent too).
