The Worlds Greatest Ape Hero (cira 2003 or so) will beat this like he beats all his challenges; Overtly!

Ah, what the forum was missing: post-ironic hero worship of Billy Mitchell.

 

[Lokii]

It's post-post-ironic, thank you very much.

 

[Falselogic]

I do love tiny people with huge egos fighting to the death over shit that never mattered.

Mitchell is just trying to coat his leg-acy in his own hot sauce

 

[Lokii]

Oh man, Walter Day is complicit in fabricating scores too? I hadn't known that.

 

[Daikaiju]

Can someone nutshell this for me?

 

[Falselogic]

That's what the person in the three videos does!

 

[Lokii]

Yes, there's several great summery videos in the first post.

 

[Lokii]

I just got to the statement "including Mitchell and Day's association with known pedophiles."

Wow there's so many layers to this that I had no idea about, and I thought I had my finger on the pulse of Billy's shenanigans.

Well that's a layer I wasn't aware of.

Reaaaallly takes the fun out of pretending to stand up for him

 

[Johnny Unusual]

Wait, was that a thing people were doing? I just knew him as "Bad Guy from that Movie I Never Got Around To. No, Not Pixels."

*gestures in madhair's direction*

Yeah, I watched the Karl Jobst video this morning. The con artist/fraud aspects are obvious things I didn't think of until now, probably because I didn't make the link between con culture being a viable way for actors/etc to still make money after their careers have ended and Mitchell's scummery.

 

[Phantoon]

Karl Jobst is fantastic, and his speedrun videos are even better.

No wonder you work in state government

 

[madhair60]

Nearly an hour of video in the OP so I'll summarise: Billy Mitchell is good at games, able to back this up with hard evidence, and is charismatic and attractive. This has naturally upset the gigantic nerdlingers of Talking Time, but rolls right off the back of cool and rad dudes like me, madhair60

 

[keurig]

You forgot the part where his true art and passion lies in making hot sauce.

 

[madhair60]

He is hot sauce.

 

[Daikaiju]

That's what the person in the three videos does!

*Watches 70 minutes of video*

 

[Kirin]

You can't fool me, that's a petrified bum.

The King of Hotsauce/Donkeys is back on top, Baby! And he’s going to give those bozos what for!

[Mr. Sensible]

Perhaps Mr. Mitchell is planning to bribe the judge with a pallet of that oh-so-delectable sauce

New Billy Mitchell testimony. I'm assuming this is real but I've never heard of this site before.

Attention is brought to the medical discrimination facing gamers

 

[lincolnic]

It's real, that's the website that used to belong to Billy Mitchell until he let it lapse and someone bought it to continue debunking his records.

 

[Sprite]

Fantastic
