I just recently finished watching a really entertaining documentary called The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. It's about a group of people who are obsessed with the Donkey Kong video game. One guy held the world record score for over 20 years until another one beat him, and a whole bunch of rivalry spewed forth after the challenge. This movie follows these two guys around and shows just how heated something like a video game score can be. What makes it all so funny is that these people are real!
The link below will take you to my full review:

I am a Christian woman and try to live by the Gospel
Principles. But I will view your link just to give you more
points. Someone said that the longer the comment that
it is better, I do not know why though. Have you been
affected by any of these snow storms rolling in across
the states?? We got slammed a few times in January an
we got 8 to 12 inches several different snow storms. I
really love the snow it is so beautiful when it covers the
Eevergreen treess or any tree for that matter. I do not
like being kept house bound because I cannot get out for
walks because I use a wheeled walker. They do not make
'snow tires' for those wheels. hahaha I always loved making
snow angels and up until a few years ago I still could. But
now If I get down there I cannot get back up. LOL I loved
to make snow people always made the whole family. Loved
to go sledding down those big hills by our house on a back
road, then it did not matter if you slid into the road. Not to
many cars were on those back roads it was safe. Ok, I will
step down off my 'soap box' for now. Have a great day Bill.

one too, oh well I will have to write another on I guess. Well
I do not like those kinda video games and such that contain
violence. There's way to much violence in this world already I
think or should say I know. One of my grand sons spends his
time on the computer playing those darned games and spends
very little time with his wife and 3 year old daughter. There's
more grand children of mine that is the same way. I see them
after they have played those darned games and you cannot
even talk to them they have so much anger because they didn't
score high enough or didn't beat the other guy. I am sorry if I
'rained on your parade' Bill. Now, have you been affected by
these snow storms rolling in on everybody?? I hope you didn't
get it bad, like get snowed in. Lots of people got snowed in an
couldn't get out of their driveways. We have had our share of
snow storms up here in Vermont. 8 to 12 inches each storm we
had, the snow banks are 12 foot and higher!! I used to love the
snow when I was a kid sleeding down those big hill out in the
country. Hard part was walking back up those steep hills though.
I learned that the longer the comment you give is better. So I
try to give long comments when I have the time too Bill.
