I wish I could have been there. I hear there were some pretty epic scores made that day.

Hi! I didn’t find a guestbook, so I thought I’d write what I thought here.

I just finished watching “The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters”. I thought it was a very good documentary, and I really felt that you made a good figure in the documentary. I felt sorry for you, and felt that you were treated in a very bad way. So when I saw that “but” appearing on the screen followed by you breaking the record, I laughed out loud. I was so happy for you. I thought Mr Mitchell was acting like someone escaping from a mental hospital. He didn’t seem like the kind of guy you’d like to be around. You’re the opposite of him.

Congratulations!

Regards,
Sjur, a retro game lover from Norway.

Hey Mr. Wiebe

I’m glad you regained the world championship title this year in September. My Husband and I are huge fans of the King of Kong movie, and I’m very glad you’ve continued to preserver on keeping it.

I wiki’d you on wikipedia and it looks like you have some new competition now, it’s no longer just Billy Mitchell on your heels for the Championship spot, but a new contender in Mr. Kiehl.

Have they been updating your score? Did you make the Guinness Book of World Records yet? Keep up the good work sir, and we will be cheering from the sidelines.

“the charismatic Mitchell” – wow that made me laugh.

Insert “narcissistic”.

Just watched King of Kong back here in Sweden! Hope you get the number one spot again for both D and D Jr. You deserve it, and seems like a nice guy. Not quite like B M…

Hi Steve

I just stumbled across your site. I have a trawl for new stuff about you and Billy Mitchell now again since seeing the documentary a few months ago, just to see what you guys are up to.

I’m more of a casual gamer myself, but totally got into the drama of it and it really did end up feeling like Rocky or something.

Anyway, I’m rambling. I just wanted to try and encourage you to keep posting stuff as I’m sure I’m not the only one wishing you well and I refuse to join Facebook so can’t follow you on that.

All the best

Simon

Hi Steve,

I just saw the documentary King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters on Netflix instant yesterday and I was amazed by your skill and sportsmanship.

I live in the SF Bay area, and I am disappointed that I missed your recent appearance out here. Will you be at Comicon?

Just wanted to write to say that I was truly inspired by your achievements and I look forward to reading more about your future high scores.

PS: I really enjoyed your music, on piano as well as on that mini drumset you played in the film.
