King of Kong: Fist Full of Quarters

This is a movie (documentary to be exact) that Kim and I watched the other day and I just had to recommend it. It's about this guy who is laid off from his job and in his new free time decides to try to beat the all-time scoring record on the original arcade version of Donkey Kong. What starts out as a silly idea turns into a fascinating and inspiring story.

I won't give away the details of the movie, but basically what I got out of the movie was this: Be proud of your accomplishments regardless of what anyone else has to say about them or whether or not anyone recognizes them. Also, always be the bigger person, it pays off in the end.

Rent the movie!! It's worth it!
