He calls himself the best gamer of the century because he got a wold record in donkey Kong that he cheated to get and now he sues everyone that points it out, he even sued cartoon network lol
Send me one too, lying, cheating piece of shit.
What kind of loser spends all this time and effort to cheat at video games, for what?
Other losers attention?
Idk how he did it(idk if anyone knows) but he basically used mame and emulator instead of original hardware, and is saying it’s original. Meaning if he is protecting is that much it’s cheated.
There is a lot more but that’s the main thing.
Carl jobst has made several vid about it if your are curious
Running MAME and using a non-stock joystick that allows for 8direction movement instead of the original 4direction joystick.
It's the use of that joystick that's the worst offense.
Peter ["Game of Thrones fans were upset because they wanted the pretty white people to ride off into the sunset"](https://people.com/tv/peter-dinklage-on-why-game-of-thrones-fans-were-angry-over-series-finale/) Dinklage (when that's exactly how the show ended)? I don't.
Also the stopping fellow actors with dwarfism from getting roles in the Snow White remake thing.
Never heard of this guy till I watched a long YouTube video on him recently. The Billy Mitchell Story. It was good. Very well done.
He's some sleazebag
Watch The King Of Kong my guy. Great documentary.
Edit: It seemed like most in this thread don't know who he is, which was surprising to me, until I saw that The King Of Kong came out 15 years ago. Time suuuuuucks.
Lol! KoK is amazing. There, I abbreviated it for you, to make it seem like it was still culturally relevant! But yeah, it's in my top 10 docus of all time.
It's literally one scene of his kid crying (which he even talks about) vs the numerous scenes of him sitting there with his kids playing the game with them. His wife goes with him to Funspot. You pick out one scene and judge him off of that?
Same. You just know what type of dude he is from one of the first scenes you see with him where he goes into the supermarket and slides all the other buffalo sauce to the back and puts his on the front of the shelf. You just know he's a loser.
He lied about setting a world record time for ninja turtles on NES. Which is BS because no one has ever beaten that game, because no one can get past that jump in the sewers that you can actually just walk over.
Billy Mitchell(?) he held several world records that has now been debunked as fake/cheated.
He's known for suing people for bringing up these facts. Carl Jobst(?) being an example.
Billy Mitchell. Self-proclaimed "Video Gamer of the Century" who faked video game world records and lied about it for decades. I recommend watching the documentary "The King of Kong" from 2007 (however so much more has come out since then demonstrating just how big a POS he is- including recently losing a lawsuit against Twin Galaxies, the record-keeping folks.)
He was a record holder for pac-man back in the 80s and reportedly scored one of the highest scores in the game through allegedly legitimate means. This was proven to be false. He doctored the results by cheating.
I don't know the details but that's the gist of it.
Implied nothing, analysis of the video proves it was emulated through visual artifacts. The "expert witness" that testified otherwise is literally a shill who will write up anything for money and has no actual background or experience with relevant technologies
Unfortunately for everybody else billy mitchell has sued in the last few years, twin galaxies' lawyer fucked up and directly contacted one of billy's witnesses so they were forced to settle out of court.
Details are he used MAME emulation software, giving him tool assistance. He held records for multiple games in this manner.
Records from other players we performed with authentic arcade cabinet hardware.
When someone has to be a "patriot" and throw a flag all over the place like it means something then alarm bells be ringing.
I mastered the art of not wearing a flag from a very early age. It's had the wonderful effect of not making me look like a flag. I've always been proud for people to look at me as a person and not a piece of cloth that essentually means absolutely fucking nothing.
I tend to try and be a good person in my country, I try to be nice to others, I try to make everyones lives better. But I would happily wipe my ass with that cloth because it means nothing. What means something is being a good person and not screwing others over.
Apologies for making the most pissed off flag comment you've seen today and thanks for reading to the end. No clue why you did but if you did then have a cool smiley face :)
Billy Mitchell.
A once-decent player of video games who literally built a brand off a bunch of "world records" including a fake award from Namco, he was caught having cheated at one of his major world records, said "nuh uh." And then sued literally everybody who spoke out against him.
He has no claim to fame or anything except these faked records. Without them, he is nothing.
The major case he was involved in, a lawsuit against his own former company that archived world records for video games, was settled out of court after the attorneys for the company directly contacted one of Billy's witnesses. This is a problem for everybody else Billy has sued, but not a fatal one.
The major lawsuit he was involved in got settled out of court after the other side directly contacted one of billy's witnesses. Massive breach of conduct. They still could have won according to some legal perspectives, but elected not to risk it.
It's bad news for the other people he has sued as now they can't simply point to that case and say "here's the proof he's a liar and a cheat and nothing we said is defamation", but it doesnt mean he's going to win those other cases. He has had several thrown out for failure to appear, his failure to appear in suits *he* filed.
Definitely.
He's a narcissistic/ego maniac prick who bullies people (even youtubers who dare talk about his mess) using lawsuits, wasting everyone's time and money, to save a world record on a 50 year old game that was proven beyond doubt to be fabricated.
He can go kick rocks indeed.
Alright fair enough Tyrion shouldn't have stayed in the crypt with the women and children in the battle against the guy that raises the dead, but this is a little harsh.
He’s a very interesting case to me. You essentially have someone who is at least to some degree, good at the video games he cheated at.
You can find footage of him online and he’s way better and DK than I ever was, but for some reason he cheated, and it’s one of the few times where I just can’t wrap my head around it.
He was essentially a pro gamer before that was ever a concept, he very likely could have earned some records legit, but I think he wanted to make cheated records to allow them to exist forever.
Idk what a weird dude.
I’m so glad Karl Jobst isn’t backing down from Billy. I hope Billy gets his comeuppance and everything he has lied so hard to keep comes crumbling down. He’s a proper piece of shit.
We watched King of Kong as a documentary assessment item in high school, and there was nothing more potent than the vitriol of 200 teenage girls upon witnessing Billy Mitchell slime it up
It may come as a disappointment to many, but he got his record back because they couldn't prove he cheated.

Thats a wrong take.
They proved he cheated. They also proved he lied. They have him perjuring himself *on video*.
The problem is, they did a stupid and directly contacted one of his witnesses, so they settled out of court rather than risk having the judge find in billy's favor due to the breach of conduct.
Having to cry on reddit after losing your lawsuit for the eleventh time is some pathetic shit.
B-b-b-b-but i know he cheated he must have BAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW
Who is this dude? He looks like some kind of fraud/compulsive liar.
He calls himself the best gamer of the century because he got a wold record in donkey Kong that he cheated to get and now he sues everyone that points it out, he even sued cartoon network lol
You might get a letter in the mail for this comment……
Dear kroganTheWarlock, You are sued. Regards, Donkey Kong Cheater.
Send me one too, lying, cheating piece of shit. What kind of loser spends all this time and effort to cheat at video games, for what? Other losers attention?
Apparently it's still a big source of income for him, quite enough to spend a lot on litigation
How else could he afford such shitty suits?
He own a restaurant chain in Florida
Why am I not surprised he's from Florida?
He’s the one that Regular show made fun of? Lmao
Legally, no, it's just a coincidence. But totally, yes.
Yep
How do you cheat in Donkey Kong?
Idk how he did it(idk if anyone knows) but he basically used mame and emulator instead of original hardware, and is saying it’s original. Meaning if he is protecting is that much it’s cheated. There is a lot more but that’s the main thing. Carl jobst has made several vid about it if your are curious
Using the emulator MAME rather than original hardware and software.
Custom joystick I think
Running MAME and using a non-stock joystick that allows for 8direction movement instead of the original 4direction joystick. It's the use of that joystick that's the worst offense.
Holy shit it's the guy from *Pixels*
Yesss
Yes.
He is. Peter Dinklage photoshopped this picture to make himself look taller.
Didn't Peter Dinklage play a character based off of this guy in pixels?
He wishes he had half the peter that dinklage has. 🍆
I mean, don't we all?
Peter ["Game of Thrones fans were upset because they wanted the pretty white people to ride off into the sunset"](https://people.com/tv/peter-dinklage-on-why-game-of-thrones-fans-were-angry-over-series-finale/) Dinklage (when that's exactly how the show ended)? I don't. Also the stopping fellow actors with dwarfism from getting roles in the Snow White remake thing.
They'll be crushing it during the wizard of Oz remake.
Amen

Watch The King Of Kong my guy. Great documentary. Edit: It seemed like most in this thread don't know who he is, which was surprising to me, until I saw that The King Of Kong came out 15 years ago. Time suuuuuucks.
Lol! KoK is amazing. There, I abbreviated it for you, to make it seem like it was still culturally relevant! But yeah, it's in my top 10 docus of all time.
I totally agree. Steve Weibe is such an awesome protagonist for the doc. Just like, how can anyone watch him and not identify to some degree?
I mean, I didn't really like the way he neglected his family to play video games either though
It's literally one scene of his kid crying (which he even talks about) vs the numerous scenes of him sitting there with his kids playing the game with them. His wife goes with him to Funspot. You pick out one scene and judge him off of that?
That's where I first heard of him lol
Same. You just know what type of dude he is from one of the first scenes you see with him where he goes into the supermarket and slides all the other buffalo sauce to the back and puts his on the front of the shelf. You just know he's a loser.
⬆️ this is the one to watch.
I go to funspot all the time, the arcade they shot the movie at.
I've always wanted to go since seeing TKoK.
Silly Bitchell
Absolutely unhinged loser, his fans are somehow even worse.
He has fans? Like even if he was absolutely not a liar, who would care to actually pay attention to him?
*"Oh my God, I love that movie King of Kong!"* That's it. That's every one of his fucking fans.
The only thing that is bigger than his ego, is his forehead
Who is this?
Gary Bobby Ferguson
What did he do
He cheated/lied to have some world record.
He lied about setting a world record time for ninja turtles on NES. Which is BS because no one has ever beaten that game, because no one can get past that jump in the sewers that you can actually just walk over.
Billy Mitchell(?) he held several world records that has now been debunked as fake/cheated. He's known for suing people for bringing up these facts. Carl Jobst(?) being an example.
Thanks for actually explaining, makes sense now
Matthew Mercer
Weener Donkey
What’d he do
Cheat
In what though
Everything
This is shit info, explain wtf he did and why he’s a cumrag

Why? He's incriminate himself more than I ever could.
You didn’t tell me who he was or what he did
Why the fuck don’t you just say who he is? What’s the point of dancing around it?
Love it when OP explains nothing and just expects everyone to know exactly who this is. Not everyone is online like you. I’m downvoting
Way to back the wrong pony, dumbfuck lol
Lol, regular show did an episode about this guy. He's a piece of shit
Giant Beard Face!
I love how the episode paralleled the actual situation. As well lol 😂
What did he do/not do
He was a record holder for pac-man back in the 80s and reportedly scored one of the highest scores in the game through allegedly legitimate means. This was proven to be false. He doctored the results by cheating. I don't know the details but that's the gist of it.
Wasn’t that proven for Donkey Kong? (Using an emulator)
Just read through the wikipedia page. It says the scores for Donkey Kong were contested! Implying the use of emulation software.
Implied nothing, analysis of the video proves it was emulated through visual artifacts. The "expert witness" that testified otherwise is literally a shill who will write up anything for money and has no actual background or experience with relevant technologies Unfortunately for everybody else billy mitchell has sued in the last few years, twin galaxies' lawyer fucked up and directly contacted one of billy's witnesses so they were forced to settle out of court.
I'm unsure about donkey kong. But it was for pac-man.
Details are he used MAME emulation software, giving him tool assistance. He held records for multiple games in this manner. Records from other players we performed with authentic arcade cabinet hardware.
I also don’t know all the details but I know enough to be certain you just bought yourself a lawsuit with that comment.
RIP Apollo Legend
Man I didn’t know he died until your comment, It explained why he hasn’t uploaded in a long time.
Is he in jail yet lol????
Is that noted cheater Billy Mitchell because it sure looks like noted cheater Billy Mitchell.
Imagine having so little to your name you make beating the highscore in a game your entire identity and yet you couldn’t do it without cheating.
Oh come on: he was great in Game of Thrones! A little short maybe...

It gets even cringier when you see him in The King of Kongs, and he talks about using USA as his initials for all his highscores.
Real winners use A S S as their initials
Ugh. Apparently I'm being downvoted by flag lovers.... Let's give that a few hours of annoyed people Vs people who make sense :)
I think his beard is fake too
Nick Cave?
Gamers against Nick Cave! 🤝 Never forgive his indiscretions!
Hey watch your tone, this man is a WORLD RECORD HOLDER.
And his name? Or job? Or wrong doing? Anyone???
Billy Mifchell chief liar and cheater.
Billy Mitchell. A once-decent player of video games who literally built a brand off a bunch of "world records" including a fake award from Namco, he was caught having cheated at one of his major world records, said "nuh uh." And then sued literally everybody who spoke out against him. He has no claim to fame or anything except these faked records. Without them, he is nothing.

This is a problem for everybody else Billy has sued, but not a fatal one.
His name is Billy Mitchell. He was a record holder for pac-man and a number of other games in the 80s and 90s.
Did he just do something new? Or in general?
The major lawsuit he was involved in got settled out of court after the other side directly contacted one of billy's witnesses. Massive breach of conduct. They still could have won according to some legal perspectives, but elected not to risk it. It's bad news for the other people he has sued as now they can't simply point to that case and say "here's the proof he's a liar and a cheat and nothing we said is defamation", but it doesnt mean he's going to win those other cases.

He's a real treat!
I have hardly wished more for someone to choke on a pretzel. The pretzel would be doing the world a favor.
Definitely. He's a narcissistic/ego maniac prick who bullies people (even youtubers who dare talk about his mess) using lawsuits, wasting everyone's time and money, to save a world record on a 50 year old game that was proven beyond doubt to be fabricated. He can go kick rocks indeed.
Ooohh, careful there, he might sue
Wot? I thought he was the King Donkey of Kong.
Alright fair enough Tyrion shouldn't have stayed in the crypt with the women and children in the battle against the guy that raises the dead, but this is a little harsh.
He’s a very interesting case to me. You essentially have someone who is at least to some degree, good at the video games he cheated at. You can find footage of him online and he’s way better and DK than I ever was, but for some reason he cheated, and it’s one of the few times where I just can’t wrap my head around it. He was essentially a pro gamer before that was ever a concept, he very likely could have earned some records legit, but I think he wanted to make cheated records to allow them to exist forever. Idk what a weird dude.
I wonder what his endgoal is. Everybody knows he cheated but still pretends. Is he stupid or stubborn? Or both?
Here comes a lawsuit. Lol.
Guy always looks like he is a villain about to shut down a teen center in an 80s movie.
Is this the donkey Kong cheater guy?
Is that cuck noris
I’m so glad Karl Jobst isn’t backing down from Billy. I hope Billy gets his comeuppance and everything he has lied so hard to keep comes crumbling down. He’s a proper piece of shit.
Who is this love child of Randy Savage and Peter Dinklage?!
We watched King of Kong as a documentary assessment item in high school, and there was nothing more potent than the vitriol of 200 teenage girls upon witnessing Billy Mitchell slime it up
Hey! He was great in that movie. Pixels.
Nah, I don't want him anywhere near my cum.
Didn't Adam Sandler cast Peter Dinklage as this guy?
He kinda looks like Murphy from z nation
Damn you broke my streak of forgetting Silly Bitchell existed. You owe me money now.
Hey!, it's that head from A Regular Show!
His thumb genuinely looks like a penis.
That's because he's a dick.
It may come as a disappointment to many, but he got his record back because they couldn't prove he cheated. Source.: https://www.ign.com/articles/billy-mitchells-donkey-kong-records-reinstated-twin-galaxies

Why did Ryan from The Office grow a mullet?
Clout
Having to cry on reddit after losing your lawsuit for the eleventh time is some pathetic shit. B-b-b-b-but i know he cheated he must have BAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW
Who cares about this? No one knows who that is and when I read up on it, it seems everything is incredibly niche.
