Everygamer knows about "Joust", the classic arcade game.
Well, a guy named macdonald won the world record on the famed game. With scores of 10,000,000-12,000,000 and higher, this guy has not only won the world record, but kicked all other Joust warriors butts. Mr. Macdonald started his run in the early 1980s. He went around to many famous arcades and gaming museums, winning high scores on every machine he met. Then, after vigorous trips to gaming facilities, he found an arcade where he played for 20 hours straight on one coin. There, he won his world record.
About 28 years later, Macdonald had just had his 50th birthday. He googled joust, and to his surprise, he saw that there was a new world record breaker. He talked to his wife and found out that she had been contacting, and friends, with this person for some time.
Macdonald then bought himself an old Joust machine from a museum and hired people to add a world connecting leaderboard, so he could win his world record back. He succeeded and then did his whole thing over again. He took trips to various places, such as: Las Vegas, Brooklyn, NY, and some other interesting places, high-scoring many more Joust machines.
