I wouldn't call it good news, the game comes of as a douche to me. That movie was terrible because the producers delibritely made Billy Mitchell look like a bad guy. So maybe it's just the producers that make Wiebe look that way.

As for the record, after Mitchell got back the record he immediatly ended the game rather than run up the score even higher. I think Mitchell can get it back if he wants to.

Isn't there a theoretical limit for how high your score can go before the game hits the kill screen?

[TJ Spyke]

No (at least I haven't ever seen that mentioned), the only thing i've seen is that it kills you when you reach level 22. Theoretically you could just stay on the earlier levels though and boost your score.

Agreed.

Maybe now Wiebe can spend some time with his kids instead of striving for some pointless high score.

Yes, oddly enough it uses the same algorithm that predicts the theoretical limit of music games on DSiWare. You just have to substitute instruments with barrels.

Does that also apply to notebook games?


Also, I've met Steve, since he teaches Junior High about five miles from where I live. He's a really great guy. Although the movie did make Billy look like a bad guy, I still enjoy the film as a whole.

The director of the movie said he had to cut the film specifically to make Billy Mitchell look like LESS of a douchebag.

Haha. Link?

Also, I don't think there's anything better than an endless back-and-forth tussle.

Or maybe Chien will snag it again

He's never seemed like a douche in any interviews i've seen, and I have never heard anything bad from someone who has actually met him. The producers just knew that no one would care about the film if Wiebe was trying to break the record held by a nice guy.
