KING OF KONG ARCADE

Not sure if you know this, but there is a King of Kong-themed arcade in the Orlando International Airport. Billy Mitchell himself owns it, which I should have realized when every single t-shirt there only featured Billy Mitchell quotes. 

For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, King of Kong is a documentary about classic video game subculture. It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. 

The arcade did have a Donkey Kong game but it was broken. Just like Billy’s soul.

Oh man, now I really can’t wait to visit my mom and go laugh at this. It will make flying into an airport where everyone is a tourist and traveling with children much more tolerable.
