2-3 hours?! When I held the Asteroids World Record back in '81, I played a single game for 36 hours, 43 minutes.

I work with a guy who is fairly high on that DK high score list, he keeps filling me in on the situation. Playing trivia tonight with him, I'm sure I'll hear all about it, including any inside news there might be. He doesn't consider this Mitchell a "friend" by any means, but he knows him and has hung out with him as recently as last month.
