The first time I became aware of Walter Day was while watching The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, which is a wonderful documentary about dedicated gamers trying to set the high score in the arcade version of Donkey Kong. If you’ve never seen it, you must watch it. Whether you are or aren’t a video game fan, it’s a fascinating look at how passionate and singularly focused a person must be to set a world record of any kind. I guarantee you’ll be on the edge of your seat wondering how the film is going to end.
