Mar 20 2006High Score Trailer
The official site for the documentary High Score has posted its trailer online. The film follows Bill Carlton in his attempt to beat the twenty-year-old record for the Atari video game Missile Command, a task he estimates will take around 55 hours. From the looks of the trailer, it sounds like it will be an arduous task, but Bill seems up to the task, noting that, "Nobody ever made history by being a big puss." Though, sadly, I'm not sure how many people have made history by playing Missile Command non-stop either. Unless he means a history of obesity, scarring acne, public ridicule, and adult virginity. Then he's spot on.

Now if it was about one man's struggle to beat the high score record of the Atari 2600's "Porkey's" then maybe it'd be worth watching.

There has to be someone out there that broke the record for being the biggest puss. Most of France I believe is on the list...Hyooh!
