Hank Chien, a plastic surgeon from Queens, has broken the top score in Donkey Kong. If you haven’t seen The King of Kong, then stop reading this and go watch it.  It is one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen.  The movie follows Steve Wiebe as he tries to break the Donkey Kong high score held by video game rock star Billy Mitchell.  Well, Hank Chien now holds the official high score, recorded by Twin Galaxies, official score keepers of electronic games.  I have been waiting for a King of Kong part 2, with a re-match between Wiebe and Mitchell, but it appears now that there is a new sheriff in town.
