I just watched The King of Kong and I have to say it was a pretty fun movie. It's about these two video gamers competing for a high score in Donkey Kong for the arcade. They seem to think that it's one of the hardest games out there, but in reality, the record can't be that great because there hasn't been much competition over it, so I'd expect it to be nowhere near maxed. I imagine some of the hardest video games out there to be #1 are probably games like counterstrike, WOW, and other games where many people compete online. Also, the movie was kind've built around the premise that the old record holder was changing the rules on the new competitor saying that the new competitor had to get the record in person but the
old competitor could just film it. This was way overblown as the old record holder didn't really have a say in this in reality, but was because of the judges at twin galaxies that caused this.

I watched the GP 81 $3-6 NL, and I have to say I wasn't too impressed. Taylor assumes too much of his opponents as far as I know. I don't think most of them are reacting to his image too much. Most of his postflop play didn't really resemble people playing back at him too much. I think most of his opponents played the same way. I don't think his image really paid off very well, because for most of the postflop plays he did, he played the same way unless he was making goofy bluffs to "set up" his image. These kinds of plays would work a lot better at 10/20 though.
