King of Kong

Documentary

This was a fascinating piece on those folks for whom Donkey Kong has become a lifelong passion. Serious geekdom here.  All male. Framed as a confrontation between a long-time champion and a nudging newcomer. 

It's easy to feel superior to these people but how different are they from anyone with an asinine obsession? Like football? Or bottle cap collecting? Or any of the other foolish things we do between birth and death that we place such stock in?

This held my interest all the way.
