Thank Prok for the post - For those that didn't know, Billy Mitchell has been getting back in practicing shape playing a lot of Donkey Kong and tonight he hit 1 million points live on stream at the Glitch bar in Ft Lauderdale. 100% legit cabinet.

real shit.

Thanks
Blake

If we are going by facts alone then your statement is false. TG's original statement that he used mame was disproven and now shows this. It was not mame as the version they so emphatically said it was came out nearly 3 years after he issued the recordings. there is a very good video of his seminar at the SFGC where he breaksdown the whole timeline and shows all communication TG had with him or his affiliates concerning his records. TG went back and forth on a witch hunt and stumbled there way to removing his records.

Thanks
Blake

Billy maintains that he never cheated and all his scores are legit. TG still believes he cheated, just that they dont know how or on what media platform he cheated on. There words not mine. There original statements have been proven false regarding the Mame.Dev version he supposedly used.

Thanks
Blake

I have a feeling he is going to keep this ball rolling and at some point in the near future show a WORLD RECORD live video recorded in a public place score right down the publics throat saying to himself "Choke on that". What a great day that would be.

Thanks
Blake

Oh i almost forgot an important detail. During there "investigation" TG was given a list of people dealt with as well as paperwork documents (dates and locations) and receipts ($ for pcb purchases and services rendered by non other than NINTENDO themselves) to show how authentic his boards were during these record attempts in a live public setting and yet TG wont consider the evidence and continues to keep there head in the sand.

Thanks
Blake

i like the X-Files reference but thats about it in this paragraph. If you watched the whole thing (or were there in person) he had a stack of documents (his evidence) that he brought to the show for anyone and everyone to look at with there own two eyes. The curators of the show cut it short as he was basically pleading them to allow the public spectators to have time to ask any and all questions.

Thanks
Blake

Bottom line is he's coming for his record. Wes Copeland and Robbie Lakemen better get there shit together.

Thanks
Blake

So did he or did he not have everything available for anyone and everyone to look at? Did he or did he not plead to have more time for the public to ask more questions at the end of his seminar? Did he or did he not have a booth available for the public to come over and speak to him during the SFGC show? If you can answer "he did not" to any of those questions then we watched or went to two different shows. This idea that he is not answering questions is bogus.

Thanks
Blake

Not answering is a defense. its not a good one but its a defense.

Thanks
Blake

I dont know Billy Mitchell personally nor am i the type to wager on someone elses accomplishments (unless its horse racing at Saratoga once a year for a couple bucks). Im enthused because he is a great personality for the industry, and it would be another great comeback story. In reality the record 1,247,700 currently held by Robbie Lakeman is a long ways away though just on points looks close.

Some people get pumped up by certain personalities some dont. im not the shy quiet type so when i watch a 3 min youtube clip of Billy Mitchell one liners it reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield and i cant help but get pumped up and laugh my ass off. Its great IMHO.

Thanks
Blake

Common sense right here folks. Get your fill.
Thanks
Blake

actually this is a resounding "NO!!!". Even the people who dislike him have to admit that hes nothing if not super polite and outgoing.

thanks
Blake

no problem.

Thanks
Blake

Ill take my prayers elsewhere but as for being a nice guy, yeah hes a nice guy.

Thanks
Blake

NEXT STERN OFFER :

KING OF KONG 2
THE CHRONICLES OF MITCHELL
COMING TO AN ARCADE NEAR YOU

thanks
Blake

The people that are continuing to hate on him now, even after his 1 mil live performance are the same people that were hating on him before TG stripped him of his scores. Head over to KLOV, thats the haters headquarters. I too hope it will change some folks opinion of him but these folks are really stubborn and set in there ways. If he stole there lime light 25 years ago they will hate him till the day they die.

Thanks
Blake

like i said. head over to klov and tell me there isnt pure hatred for the guy. The evidence you speak of is slowly eroding. TG is becoming less and less trustworthy and there has been loads of documented evidence available to the public (if you look you will find it) to support Billy Mitchells records as valid. If you cant see that then you dont want the truth. It is anything but clear.

Thanks
Blake

all the sweeter when he keeps popping up at expos, charities, world record events, arcade openings, news venues, youtube vids, exc. exc. exc.

Keep hatin son. Its payin the bills.

Thanks
Blake

Im sure hes happy to have you hate.

Thanks
Blake

this guy gets it. But the thing is these folks wont ever get it. Its like trying to explain salesmanship to someone who has never had to speak to a stranger. Or showmanship to someone who has never had to please an audience. Its foreign to them and stands out in a negative way. Now to anyone thats talked for a living (like an actor) they know what hes doing. And then when you talk with him or see him associating with people in person he is a down to earth guy thats willing to listen to your questions, or if you want tell you his stories.

Thanks
Blake

hate to tell you bud but i dont think ive been to many pinhead homes that did'nt own arcades. they might not tell some of these self pretentious pinsiders, probably in fear of not being able to keep up on there intellectual level.

also you can chew on the fact that almost all of your industry leaders are fans of Arcade machines and have worked on, designed, played and own them. They must be wierd too right.

Ask the vid folks if buying a 5-8 k $ pinball is wierd, crazy or just plan stupid and see what you get.

Thanks
Blake

this question was asked over on KLOV and ill reply the same:

LOL! Not yet i still have to pass it by the wife.

and for the follow up:

would you care to join us? I really like your avatar.

Thanks
Blake

the last guy got all homophobic when i made that reply so hopefully you respond a little different.

Thanks
Blake

By the lack of substance in your counter ill give you more time to think of a proper comeback. Sound good slick?

Thanks
Blake

whens the last time you have heard anyone say they bumped into Billy Mitchell and he was a jerk? 99 % of the time i think people are pleasantly surprised at how cool he is.

Thanks
Blake

At those kong offs he did not perform very well, agreed. I also dont think he spent much time honing his skills. but even if he did he may not be on the level of Wes, Robbie, Hank, exc... we will hopefully have more chances to see.

As for the evidence i too thought it was thorough at first glance, but watch Billys seminar at SFGC and then make up a timeline of the events that he speaks of and you will see where TG has changed there stance multiple times and currently has no stance other then the fact that he cheated, the end. When you have a company that is emotionally vested in one outcome the lone wolf is not going to win. Honestly check out the documents, names of witnesses, receipts, video all of that evidence is not being brought forward because its from Billy. If it was a trial where you could present evidence people would have a different opinion of what they consider the truth. Right now you just have a dozen of more news articles saying the same molded media garbage over and over.

Thanks
Blake

Watch his seminar and then do some research. If there is anyone not being transparent in this debacle its TG. If after that you still feel steadfast that he cheated and TG is on the up and up then theres nothing else to say.

Thanks
Blake

You cared enough to read the thread and reply to a post. What the FOCK?

Thanks
Blake

To all you pinsiders who cant wrap their heads around the fact that people actually care about this crap, THANKS FOR MAKING THIS TOPIC THE HOTTEST THREAD OF THE DAY LMFAO!

Thanks
Blake

You started off with some logic and then just went to "billy's a cheater" you have no desire to seek out the truth but are ready and willing to jump on a band wagon of haters. Every time one of you folks is confronted with logic you retract to the same BS. Spend some time debating it would serve you well.

Thanks
Blake

Contribute.

Thanks
Blake

There you go. That was much more creative then the last few. Still lacking in substance but we can work on that latter.
Your right on one thing for sure, your not Blake, but that should not stop you from trying.

Thanks
Blake

and another post in the thread topic. thanks for contributing. for someone who hates these types your certainly helping out.

Thanks
Blake

Board bought by reputable dealer (receipts shown)
Board delivered to arcade op not billy (tracking numbers confirmed)
Board installed in DK cab at retail store location and cabinet locked (documented in writing by arcade op/confirmed by store owner)
Whole unit authenticated and inspected by event promoters day before record being set
Billy sets record in live setting on real DK hardware with onlookers
Boards sent to Nintendo for verification (2x) and sent back with receipts
End of story

Say what you want but there is at least one true documented DK record set on Billy Mitchell's behalf. If TG doesn't want to look at the evidence to substantiate that's there choice. But it has been presented to them. Along with a video which they admitted to having in there possession and then losing.

Thanks
Blake

thats creative.

Thanks
Blake

Lets say you had maybe 10% of your lively hood associated with this character that you portray or actually are. And maybe you were a little worried about losing that as a result of you being labeled as a cheater. And what if after looking at things you think that the easiest way to get back or secure that 10% is to show the world you are good enough to get the record they showed you cheated to get. Would you play some DK for a few months. 10% is different for everyone. Just a different perspective.

Thanks
Blake

ive got a 6 year old boy that when asked who he is and what he has done can tell you pretty quickly. When you play, own, fix, or run a business containing arcade/pinball machines its pretty likely that at some point the little guy or girl is going to get competitive and start trying to beat there previous best score. If they turn out to be pretty good at the game and continue to excel the next logical step is to want to know who the best is.
No need to give anymore information to the kids than can be received. Easy enough to keep all the BS out and avoid the dirty details that may be good lessons to teach or expand on at a more mature time. Just my approach but im the last father to go up to another and tell them how to raise there kids.

Thanks
Blake

LOL.

Thanks
Blake

If you find that information irrelevant in all aspects then i cant help you. I for one am not putting my eggs in the basket of someone (TG) who only shows you there side of the story. But the world needs suckers and next time someone takes advantage of you with a good sales pitch im sure someone like me will be there to pat you on the back and tell you "It's not your fault. Those type of people do it for a living.".

Now open the flood gates for those about to tell me how Billy Mitchell is swindling me : - )

AND GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Thanks
Blake

You kinda softened up a little bit there in your rebuttal. I don't believe that's all you would point out to your son because if we didn't search for the good in people there would be very little to praise or look up to period. I've never met anyone honest that did not have faults or flaws in there character. I understand what you mean though and i hope for our children's sake you understand my point.

Thanks
Blake

i think you should spend more then 30 sec if you care too.

Thanks
Blake

you need to work on your bait a bit. a lot of folks here have got you beat. but there is a whole bunch of folks that are good at riding coat tails, maybe give that a shot. not everyone is meant to lead.

Thanks
Blake

Oh plenty of them got caught lol. Im not getting the sense that we are dealing with many smooth operators here. They dont have the balls to admit they are like everyone else. Easy to place yourself on a pedestal. Its another thing to be held in that regard by others.

Thanks
Blake

remember the Mcguire/Sosa back and forth HR season (cant remember what year maybe 2001?) And Sosa cracked the corked bat in game. Then Barry just obliterates the previous HR record a year or so later. Felt like he was hitting 3 a night. That was a bad ass couple years for the MLB and i dont even like Baseball.

Thanks
Blake

Just noticed the haters really piling on at this post. Keep them (-1) coming. Shows your weakness for others opinions and how much they mean to you.

Thanks
Blake

sounds like a dick move. Maybe demonstrating pattern play to interested spectators?

Thanks
Blake

read through the posts. You will know what i think.

thanks
Blake

i think the hot sauce comment hurts more then anything. Really though i have not tried it but have heard a general consensus that its bland?

Thanks
Blake
