If Donkey Kong wasn’t a giant gorilla, but rather a lowly office worker whose promotion was given to a moustachioed employee named Mario, then the situation would probably play out just as it does in this spoof movie trailer for “Mr. Kong”. It’s a good thing nobody took his stapler!

The Most Awesomely Geeky Tattoo Ever

Posted by Jill Harness in Art, Art & Design, Entertainment, Film, Gaming on June 25, 2011 at 2:04 pm

To be fair, this tattoo will only make sense to those of you who have seen King of Kong and are familiar with Billy Mitchell’s obsessive Donkey Kong antics. If you haven’t seen the movie, go watch it and then revisit this post so you can laugh and laugh.

A More Realistic Ending to Donkey Kong

Posted by Stacy in Gaming, Video Clips on May 7, 2011 at 6:47 pm

Ever seriously doubt the authenticity of the end of Donkey Kong, where Mario simply sidesteps the giant ape to free the lovely (if pixel-y) damsel in distress? Yeah, so did Dorkly. This one’s for all of the realists out there.

Mortal Kombat vs. Donkey Kong

Hit Play or You Tube link.

Since I was always Scorpion, and never really got very good at Donkey Kong, this made Friday fantastic.  Short & sweet.

Donkey Kong Shelves

Posted by John Farrier in Toys on August 11, 2009 at 2:26 pm

These shelves, inspired by the classic video game Donkey Kong, are the perfect place to store your valuable, fragile possessions.

Via CrunchGrear, which found it on a list of ten pieces of furniture inspired by video games. I think that this may be the original page for the Donkey Kong shelves, but it’s written in German (?), so I’m not sure. Would any Neatoramanauts like to take a stab at translating it?
