Billy Mitchell's "Road to Redemption"

[Anonymous No.4885693]

So, Billy Mitchell spoke at the Southern Fried Gaming Expo as the first stop on his "road to redemption.

It was supposed to consist in large part of a Q&A, but instead he basically waved some papers around for over an hour saying they proved that he never cheated and his Donkey Kong scores were all 100% legitimate, never gave anyone a chance to ask questions, and never showed anyone the papers.

A day ago, this guy pops up on YouTube with a video where he shows some footage of Billy Mitchell in the present day trying to break one million points to at least prove to people that he can do it. Apparently Billy failed to do so, though, and is also threatening to sue his "haters." Here's the video.

I have heard claims that people are harassing his family including his children, though, which if it's true is pretty shitty.

Anyway, those are the updates.

Thoughts?

Even with this his reputation as a pompous asshole will always remain

Won't it add to his reputation as a pompous asshole? His Q&A was zero Q and one long, rambling A.

[Anonymous No.4885706]

Billy did nothing wrong.

[Anonymous No.4885709]

>>4885706
Only in that he did something, so if he was trying to do nothing he did it wrong.

Dude is a serial winner, why everybody gotta be hatin'?

[Anonymous No.4885715]

Is his Pac-Man score legit or did he MAME that one too?

[Anonymous No.4885727]

>>4885715
Early scores were legit, but when other people started being able to compete, he took the chicken shit option and started cheating instead of trying to improve for real and facing the possibility that he wouldn't be the standout best in the world anymore.

No idea about the Pac-Man score in particular, but it doesn't matter since he rightfully got stripped of every single one.

[Anonymous No.4885782]

>>4885693
It's all for show. Billy can easily do it but the guy enjoys being the center of attention more than anything else so he's gonna keep pretending to be bad then actually btfo all you dumbass haters.

[Anonymous No.4885791]

who cares about this old white fuck

[Anonymous No.4885796]

>>4885782
Go to bed, Billy.

[Anonymous No.4885801]

Barely anybody gave a fuck about him before this scandal and barely anybody cares now. People shitposted about him losing his scores and already forgot about his sorry ass.

[Anonymous No.4885807]

>>4885801
OP here. I find various niche hobbies and the communities that surround them really interesting. Learning about them is one of my hobbies. I spent a couple weeks fixated on this shit and today decided to check for updates.

[Anonymous No.4885819]

>>4885807
Sorry, this >>4885801 was meant for >>4885782
It did bring him attention, but majority of people already moved on and he's even more irrelevant now. Only enthusiasts care, like they did before.
I monitor this situation myself from time to time, but he's not in the "center of attention" anymore.

His Pac-Man score had an ongoing dispute claim at Twin Galaxies when all of his scores were removed.

Here's footage of Billy Mitchell giving an award to his friend - a convicted child rapist - in 2014... even calling him "goofball". Nobody in the room was made aware of his past & young kids were present.

pac-man was done live. that will never not be legitimate

billy mitchell was the donkey kong record holder in the 80s, but he couldn't keep up over time

[Anonymous No.4887324]

>>4886159
When he brought up the "associates with pedophiles" thing, I assumed the troll had confused him with Todd Rogers. Huh. Good thing the pinball community only has one (1) pedophile, instead of a bunch.

[Anonymous No.4887351]

>>4886252
Billy was only ever "first" on Pac Man because he did it like a week after they changed the rules. But yeah he did actually do it, at least.

[Anonymous No.4887471]

>>4885693
I can't believe anyone listened to him talk for an hour. It's like when someone writes a 2 page long incoherent rage post but IRL.

[Anonymous No.4887601]

>>4887471
I saw him talk last year, and let me tell you, I'd be far more interested in seeing him talk now. I want to see him weave a web of insane lies like a supervillain.

[Anonymous No.4887627]

The only thing that seems dubious to me is that this exceptionally well-groomed ape was supposedly able to properly set up an emulator. MAME, no less.

I have this mental illness too. I obsess over dumb retarded shit, I watch Internet Historian videos and I fell into the trap of reading old Kiwifarms threads. I love drama, exposed frauds and cringy feuds. Just fork it all over. Gamers, musicians, corporations, furries, politicians, YouTubers, actors, professional basket weavers, anything is interesting to me as long as it covers some kind of strenuous social situation or interactional faux pas between humans. What the fuck is wrong with me?

[Anonymous No.4893467]

>>4893431
This is basically what Kiwifarms turned into after Chris-chan stopped being active enough to support constant interest.

[Anonymous No.4893938]

>>4893431
autistic cannibalism. That's what Kiwifarms is at least. Autists being mocked by lesser autists with slightly more self awareness.

Well, I'm not just interested in the drama. I'm also interested in the cool parts. I think people getting into pissing matches is kind of sad, but I also admire the effort people put into the things they care about.

[Anonymous No.4893960]

The entire thing is manufactured. No one cares whether he did or didn't break any rules or do anything, especially 50 years later. Becoming a fraud intentionally gets him more notoriety than anything else he could have possibly done.

[Anonymous No.4894204]

>>4885693
>footage of Billy Mitchell in the present day trying to break one million points to at least prove to people that he can do it
don't your reflexes go to shit after you hit 30? why would he be able to do something now that he was able to do way back in the day if it requires a lot of reflexes?

[Anonymous No.4894294]

>>4886159
That entire comment reads off like something a soccer mom would write on facebook. There's a pretty significant lack of sources, in fact not a single source is given for any for any of her claims despite simultaneously stating that she has irrefutable evidence. Beyond that, guilty by association is the most undeniably moronic assumption of wrongdoing possible. Billy is a fucking jackass but so is anyone who thinks being around a criminal automatically makes you one too.

[Anonymous No.4894326]

Another good example of a social trap is like, specific subgroups of the LGBT community (and especially the trans community) throwing other subgroups under the bus, for short-term benefits that'll eventually come back and bite them in the butt.

>gays throwing "effeminate gays" under the bus
>passing trans women throwing less-passable trans women under the bus
>lesbians throwing the whole entire LGBT under the bus because they're a bunch of sociopathic fucking frogs

etc.

>throwing "effeminate gays" under the bus
Understandable, liking cock doesn't mean you have to be associated to people that wave their dick around and force themselves into being flamboyant for no reason at all other than to annoy people

>passing trans women throwing less-passable trans women under the bus
Understandable, you put the effort into looking like a woman and suddenly some fat, sad fuck acts as if he can just become a woman as long as he looks vomit inducing

>lesbians throwing the whole entire LGBT under the bus because they're a bunch of sociopathic fucking frogs
Understandable, they don't want to be associated to something that includes people of all categories to a point where it makes pedophilia "acceptable".
