I was unstoppable in Goldeneye against all my buddies. Nobody could beat me... That felt great!
And I had a couple nice runs in SOCOM to win some clan matches. I think I once sniped 6/8 or 7/8 opponents in the finals of a tournament to win it all. That was pretty cool!

(at the time) beating Diddy Kong Racing
(now) going undefeated for 6 years straight in N64 Mario Tennis
Beating Diddy Kong racing was the shit!
On Peggle I beat all the challenges AND I cleared 100% pegs on every level.
Getting 120 stars in Super Mario 64.
Beating Legend of Zelda: OOT in less than 24 hours.
Going 30-0 in Counter-Strike
Going 70-0 in TFC (Engineer)
Beating Legendary single player Halo
For me, the biggest commitment is collecting all the gold metals or challenges in a game or unlocking all the stuff...and I like to do it, but only if I really like the game...like Peggle, which is like fucking crack cocaine.
I've tried for 100% completion in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, but I only got like 98.7%. And In OOT I think I hit 98 or 99 Gold Skulltulus, and fuck it all if I can find the last missing 1 or 2.
Otherwise, other proud gaming moments include killing sprees online gaming, or finding those nights where I hit that sweet spot and get in the zone. I find my biggest weakness in competitive gaming is consistency...which is why I don't compete.
My proudest gaming moment can be narrowed down to a single one because nothing else Ive done compares (at least to the feeling I had as a kid at the time).
-Beating Mike Tyson in Mike Tyson's Punch Out.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw mario going TKO and my opponent down on the ground.

The tape is no different than the rest of the arcade records. Besides, it says something about a player who is so good, his record can stand for that long without anyone but himself being able to beat it. I honestly think it was being saved for his last hoorah, but that's besides the point.

You know Steve Wiebe went on to beat his high score again later right? Which took Mitchell like 2 years to beat. Also Wiebe holds the record for DK Jr.
I respect Wiebe a lot more anyway, Mitchell is an ass, and Wiebe is all about helping new people learn how to play older arcade games. He teaches people how to play DK all the time. Cool dude vs guy who is a total dick. I pick cool dude. I do not respect people who hold video game secrets to maintain an edge over competitors.
1. Beating FFVII. To most it might not seem like a lot. But I started playing it during the March Break of grade 8, right after I moved to a new neighborhood. I knew no one, and I'd just gotten my playstation, so I didn't have a memory card. The game was a rental and I only had it for that one week, and I knew I had to beat it. There were a couple close calls, my parents would occasionally come rushing into the room to see who their child was threatening to skullf**k if they killed his last remaining character. But when Sephiroth finally hit the ground after the omnislash scene, I felt like I could do anything.
2. Beating Ninja Gaiden for xbox on hard. If there was ever a game that I could blame any of the mental anguish in my life on, this would have been it. For anyone who's played it, you know what I'm talking about. In most games, you will die a few times. In this game, if you haven't died within the past 20 minutes, theres a good chance you're going inthe wrong direction. I finished the game on normal and thought it a good idea to try it in hard.... Something compelled me to finish, god knows what. However, when I finally beat it, I felt that I could die having accomplished something in my life.... until i realized that it had all been a waste of time patience, and anything resembling a normal blood pressure.
3. Being able to do Legend of Maxx on heavy in DDR - while smoking.
4. Beating Through the Fire and Flames on hard in GH3. I never could get the intro for expert, which still pisses me off.
5. Currently: Being the best among my buddies at Mariokart Double Dash. I haven't been beaten in any level for at least a year now, and its truly inspiring seeing my best friends curse like irish sailors when I dodge a blue shell.

If I were a betting man, I'd put my money down that you don't know either Weibe or Mitchell. Too bad I'm not.
While I haven't met Weibe, I've spent some time with Twin Galaxies, and met several of the people in that video, including Mitchell. The video is meant to be entertaining. In reality, he's one of the nicest guys you'll meet.
Speaking of King of Kong, has anyone seen TILT: The Battle to Save Pinball? I haven't quite yet, but it looks like another quality arcade documentary. Here is the trailer:

I've met wiebe actually, super nice guy. Still rumor has it Mitchell is very secretive about his strategies, and wiebe was the tell all guy.
So maybe Mitchell isn't an elitist asshole, but he sure looked like one
