Billy 'King of Kong' Mitchell's 'Donkey Kong' scores were a lie

I just heard. This deserves its own thread.
Slow day in LA?
Jk, I think the relative popularity of King Of Kong showed there is a certain amount of interest in this.
I am actually surprised at how long it took for this to happen - seems it's been festering for a while now.

Imagine his parents new level of shame. They finally accepted their son was famous for a video game high score to now knowing they spawned one of the most infamous nerds ever.

So Billy Mitchell is a pathological liar, who preaches about people having to play by the rules while he doesn't, acts as an authority on his "expertise", is a condescending cunt, comes up with meticulously planned out schemes for his own gains, thinks he's charming while he's actually an insufferable moron, has no remorse when lying, and gets exposed to be all this on the news... Geez Billy, I think you got the wrong profession, you'd have fitted in much better in US politics than a scene for people getting hard on video game scores. Would have been a hell of a lot more profitable too.

Very few people are still here for the Neo.
This forum has become a microcosm for a common interest we have all long since forgotten.
A daily routine without meaning.

Off-topic stuff tends to far outnumber everything else in terms of posts/threads/views/whatever. That is something that's not unique only to this place.

This whole debacle is seriously sad on so many levels.
I'm sure Mitchell is enjoying the publicity, since he no longer is relevant when it comes to his DK score. His allegedly fake score isn't even among the top ten of current high scores. Being all over the internet again must feel great for him.
