Donkey Kong Kill-Screener Timeline

[ChrisP]

After a long slump, Chris Icenhour kill screens!

Donkey Kongers on an absolute roll...

Congratulations, Chris!  Another member of the 700K club decides he's had enough, and moves on up.

I was late to the party, and "nap time" had nothing to do with it.  I was mired in the "Fireball Behavior" thread, so I'll blame Dean and Jeff for their long posts.  Either that, or my substandard reading skills.

Added Rick Fothergill on 6/10/2006 as per this post.

I checked the EXIF data on the photo and it more or less agrees with the date Rick gave, only it's five days earlier on 6/5/2006. There are a number of camera-settings reasons why the time could be off, but this is good enough for me!

That bumps the list up to 54, but more importantly, puts Rick into pretty exclusive company as the fifth known kill screener and the fourth on arcade!

I'm just gonna go ahead and basically guarantee that Shane Mosher will be on this list within the next 5 days, or 10 runs (whichever comes first).

I've never seen a more inevitable first time kill screen...

The oracle has spoken!

It was 12 days, not 5, and I'm not sure how many runs it took, but close enough.

Good job Shane, who's next?

[Shane_NC]

Wow Chris! I had never seen this post until today... this actually really means a lot to me that you said this about me. You called it man, thanks for your confidence!

[ChrisP]

Shawn Robinson (dkshawn) has kill screened!

#13 for 2013.

I loved the speech at the end, that was kickass.


EDIT: I just realized that I was there live for 5 of the last 6 streamed kill screens (Corey, Christian, BEA, Chris I., and Shawn, only one I missed was Shane's)... do I have the record?

He's already on the list - 1/1/2011

[corey.chambers]

Thanks, Jeff, I scanned that list 3 times and didn't see it, all these names and scores, ahhh.

Any predictions on the total # for 2013?

[Shane_NC]

Lets see. There are 13 KSers so far for 2013 and we officially have 2 months left.

There are, in my opinion, only 7 players capable of achieving a KS with a high probability within these 2 months (not going to name names). In addition, 2 of which, possibily even 3 of these 7 dont have a chance in hell because of their chosen pace.

So in my opinion, it is only possible that 4-5 people could physically do it in these last 2 months. Then when you account for the fact the it is even more unlikely that all will achieve a KS in this amount of time we must atleast divide this by half.

So at best 3 more KS's this year for 2013. However, im going to be a glass is half empty kinda person and say there will probably only be 1 more KS this year.

I will go one step further and say that it will most likely be done by Mitchell at this years Kong Off, from years of compiled guilt and yearning

Between the amount of new killscreeners, new million point players, Dean's 1.186 and 1.206, and a couple close calls at the arcade record I would say this is the most exciting year in DK history.  And there's still a couple months left so who knows what will happen!

[LMDAVE]

Yeah, it's amazing the way things are still going with DK. I would like to see Wiebe or Mitchell do a score again, otherwise it's just a matter of time before both of them are below top12. But, they'll always be pioneers along with Sczerby. I will say this, Billy getting a killscreen in 1982 with all the other games around to play back then was a pretty good acheivement. If people knew that would be such a big deal 30 years later, more probably would have focus and attempted it.
