In case you’re still wondering who in the world Hank Chien is, this might be able to help you out. The young, out-of-nowhere, new Donkey Kong record holder had a few words to say in an interview with Details.
“When I started playing, I wasn’t trying to set the world record. I had pretty much never played before in my entire life, so when I started it was just for fun… I always said that after I reached a million I was going to retire because this game was taking up way too much of my time. But with my first million-point game, I was only 12,000 points shy of the world record, so I was like, ‘I can’t retire now!’”
His current record is 1,061,700. You can click on through to read the whole interview, especially while he still holds the record. You don’t know how long it’ll be his – but you do know that Billy and Steve are coming after him.
