To me, this is better than a comment from Jesus.

What a character. It's easy to hold a record if you cheated to get it.

Billy Mitchell is a skinny, silk shirt wearing douchebag and his hot sauce sucks. Cut your hair you 145 pound girl. Your a joke.

They should do another doco about Billy Mitcell:

The King of Douche

It must really put your life in perspective when you're holding on to the fame of being the best at a video game that was released almost thirty years ago. In twenty-seven years you would think someone with so much "drive" would take up marathon running or motivational speaking. But I guess if you did that you would have to learn a little humility, or lose your dignity and be documented as a Class-A asshole.

I agree next doc.....

The King Of Dong:

The Billy Mitchell Story

i saw this movie a few weeks ago.
all i can say is billy mitchell is a douche.

Billy, I hope you die in a house fire.

Holy shit. The return of redandjonny. Welcome back. Stunning comment.

Yeah RedandJonny, where have you guys been?

I remember watching the MTV special True Life where they followed around Billy Mitchell, among others, and all I could think was how much of douche this guy was. Its like he thinks he was destined to be a gaming god or something. Watching King of Kong brought it all back to me, I just really wish Wiebe could pwn him and knock him off his highhorse a bit.

"Billy, I hope you die in a house fire."

lol, perfect.

Why the murderous hate towards Billy Mitchell? Did he beat your Donkey Kong score or something?

Hi Pete... Sup Hunter. Nice to be back. :)

@ Dexton.

This is war times...and I'm in camp Weibe . Its black or white you're either with us... or with the douche.

Billy left a comment on the original post, too..
Btw, why so hateful? Give the man a break! Steve will win again anyway someday.

Sigh... if anyone thinks Mitchell actually cheated to keep his high score, you need to read this:

http://www.twingalaxies.com/forums/viewforum.ph...

Documentaries are normally a bit skewed to reflect the filmmaker's perspective, but this one is REALLY slanted. Still an amazingly entertaining film, but don't get suckered into thinking it's fact.

If you actually take the time to look at twin galaxies website and read what they have to say about the doc, you know that it misrepresents so much. Mitchell's suspiscious score was taken down two days after that event, and Steve Weibe was the record holder for about two years. It also misrepresented Billy Mitchell, quoting him out of context and showing him doing things he never did, such as avoiding Weibe in florida. Mitchell doesn't brag in that email, he actually commends Weibe's effort! What else do you expect from the man? You want him to just give up his title because a documentary that misrepresents so much makes you sympathize with the other guy? Come on.

Heres the link to their response if you want to educate yourselves:
http://www.twingalaxies.com/forums/viewforum.ph...

Naaah man Mitchell is not a douche, the documentary makes you think he is but no.. thats just editing work.

Billy Mitchell is my hero.
I'm not alone.
For a start he always has a plan.
Secondly you hold the WORLD record in ANYTHING for 20 years you the man.
Thirdly, after the release of KoK, Billy got back the world record in a LIVE game.
Don't Get Chumpified.
Billy Mitchell>you.

PS: I do not know Billy, nor do I know anyone related to Weibe, Twin Galaxies or your mother, but I bet that if Billy new your mother, you'd have to call him your DADDY!

okay - I meant KNEW not NEW.

Billy Mitchell's Mullet > You.

Billy Mitchell for President '08.
He don't need no stinkin' running mate.
He's Billy Mitchell.

Grow a pair of balls, Billy.

The Billy hate is the funniest shit on this site since Sexman.

You have to look at it both ways. Billy Mitchell is known for his Donkey Kong score and that's what he'll be remembered for. And the fact that someone who hasn't been involved with the game but for the past 4 or so years is trying to take your name is probably pretty disheartening. But on the other hand Steve Weibe is the underdog who just wants to succeed at something and doesn't have any malice in doing so.

I personally couldn't sit on a stool for 4 hours listening to that inane bleeping sound only to come up short. That to me is a personality scrubber.

How long until we taste the flowing 'do of Lil' Billy? It is going to happen people. King of Kong: The Next Generation (Same Hair)

I believe that Steve is still the "live" record holder of Donkey Kong. Billy exposed himself as a Douchebag-Fraud, when his cronies disqualified Steve's videotaped Dk score, and then submitted his taped score as the record. He's a punk.

Everyone discuss....

IS BILLY MITCHELL THE DANIEL PLAINVIEW OF DONKEY KONG?

I wouldn't exactly hold "King of Kong" to its truthfulness. As a filmmaker, I know the power of editing. I know how anyone can
be made into a jerk, and granted I disliked Billy very much in
the movie, he is a person, not a character. I don't think he's seen
the movie but I believe he could tell you what happens in the movie because of the negitivity pointed at Mitchell.

Its good to keep an open mind while watching King of Kong. It is the best documentary this year! I loved it! It was an excellent underdog story ,but I would also look at the twin galaxies link above if your wanting to see another viewpoint of what happend.

I do believe Mitchell should stay far away from all things King of Kong till the movie's visiblity has gone a bit.

If you watch all of the bonus stuff and interviews on the DVD, you do get a much more 3 dimensional view of Billy Mitchell and what all went down. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and (obviously) rooted for Steve all the way, but the thing about Billy is that I have known guys just like that in my life, and it made me feel a little sorry for him. He is the Daniel Plainview of Donkey Kong in the "I have a competition in me" sort of way. But every competitor is the Daniel Plainview of their sport. Or they better fuckin' be. I actually thought Walter Day was more interesting then either of them or the competition.

Billy, I challenge you to a game of Halo 3. I will completely own you. Then you can go back and play a 30 year old game you douche. The invitation is open.

@ Robert,

Yeah. I agree with you. I'm not in the "Billy Mitchell is a complete turd and a disgrace to humanity" camp either. What he accomplished on Pac Man and Donkey Kong is still pretty incredible, and so what, the dude is proud of his records. If I was flown to Japan to receive a trophy by the game's creator, I think a little ego is called for.

He's sort of like Plainview in that he's such a hard-ass, but his competition and confidence is intriguing and infectious. But yeah, he's definitely been over-vilified I feel, sort of like how Plainview has. He has a competition inside him, hah, and his "World Record Headquarters" line is nearly as good as TWBB's Milkshake one.

Billy Mitchell reads Slashfilm, another plus.

I too had to go read more on Billy after I watched the movie, because I wasn't convinced they were telling the whole truth. So I went out to the links on Twin Galaxies that tell "the real story". I read that Billy was misrepresented in the movie and that he is a good guy and yada yada yada, but I don't believe all of that either because Billy has been a long time staff member of Twin Galaxies....of course they are going to back him up. Personally, in the end I still feel Billy Mitchell is a douchebag

theres alot of people saying the editing made billy look bad, did they miss the scene where billy passed Steve midgame & loudly/rudely said "theres some people I just don't wanna be around" for no reason at all?

That pretty much sums up his chicken shit punk ass.

Or how bout the fact he compared himself to the
abortion issue? He is a world class, forget the olympics go pro douche.



@Hunter..

If BM is Plainview...His line would be...

"I Drink your Douche bag!"

@ R&J

Ugh. Thanks for that image. Especially taking BM's beard into consideration.

Ugh!

Yeah, Billy Mitchell is def a friggin' huge jerk in the movie, in case it sounds like I was in his fan club earlier. However, I hear his hot sauce is right tasty.

Again: UGH!

I wouldnt insult plainview with such a comparison, if they got anything in common its distaste for their competitors, but while plainview raged against big corporation, mitchell raged against & disrespected an honest/decent family man.

I started a Facebook Group about Billy Mitchell....being a tool! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8478231165

The first rule of your comments should be suspended for occasions such as this.

No amount of editing could take Billy Mitchell's smarmy buttholery away from him. I defy any of the BM fanclub to re-edit any portion of Billy's dialogue from the movie to show him in a positive, non-stomach-churningly smug, gross or douchebaggy light.

In fact, FISTofBLOG.com will happily pay a $20 cash prize to anyone who can submit such a re-edit.

Now $20 may not seem like much, but if you're considering entering this contest, we know that you should probably forgo the prize money and just be satisfied with a job for Billy well-done.

Why do some of you think the Twin Galaxies site is anymore truthful than the documentary?

I'm sure there's truth in the documentary and truth in the accounts of the Twin Galaxies folks. You have to make your own judgments. I've read a lot about the disputes with the film; I've read responses from the filmmakers.

IMHO, I trust the filmmakers about 90 percent, Billy Mitchell about 40 percent and the Twin Galaxies folks about 70 percent.

Wow, Billy. You are hardly a gracious competitor. Steve traveled 3,000 miles not once, but twice to compete with you. He even said hello to you to which you responded, "There are some people we don't want to spend much time with." Are you still in junior high? Is this how you behave when you're doing business in the real world? You're a hypocrite!

Steve, you have more fans than Billy. We support you 200%. When the "but" came on at the end of the documentary, the entire audience stood up and cheered in support of you and your sportsmanship. You displayed your vulnerabilities, your strengths, and your humility. Your wife rocks too--good for her for being candid! BEAT BILLY FOREVER!!!!!

Steve Weibe should seriously consider running for senate or congress.
I think he's got the onions to do it and the kind of antiestablishment drive to serve a real purpose in government.
He rules. I wish nothing but the best for him. What a gentleman.

Plus I think he could kick the crap out of that 'dark jesus' wanna be.
I'm an afficionado of hot sauce and write reviews. I'll be sure to disinclude any of mitchell's crap just because I cannot stand the look of the man, the shiftiness of his doped up eyes nor his lawyer friend, that let's not forget, cheated to get in the books. I can only imagine if he had to take the bar exam live!

'Weibe winnin!'

Hi I'm Billy Talent, oh no its Billy (not so talent ) Mitchell.

I have baD HAIR, think that I am a god, and feel that I am the best.

Sure I need to edit video tape and / or have a bunch of my "friends" watch me to become a world record holder in Donkey Kong...but hey, like I said ...I'm god.


Now back to my hair

Signed
Billy - stuck up NERD who thinks he is somehow popular ... in a non-nerd way.

I am a DK faked champion...

oops did I slip out THE TRUTH.

(Funny how Billy was able to plan this record setting event and pull off the most amazing score with 2 men left...geez I'm no idiot but pretty AMAZING to have the board secured and verified and all the precautions, and then to get that score on the 2nd game...hmmm if it smells like a rat, there's probably a rat.)

Steve is the Record holder until Billy can prove his skills in public.
I bet Billy can only achive 500,000 in public...because he is slimy and slippery and a CHEAT!

Billy Mitchell looks like the retarded brother of House, MD.
The dark sheep of the inbred family, if you will.

The Allman brothers band called... They need their hair back.
Oh and House, MD called... He want's his evil side back.
Frank's hot sauce called... They want their hot sauce back, minus the yuck.
The devil from the movie "The Prophecy" called... He wants is whole character outline back.
The delusional narcissist OCD sufferers of America called... They want their free information package back.
The mid to late 1980's shoe store salesman called... He wants his clothes back.
Cracker Jack corporation called... They want your friend's legal license back!

Just kiddin Billy... You are just a DOUCHEBAG and we can't help loving you this way.!@
:)

I just finished watching King of Kong and then read up on the re-breaking of Steve Wiebe's records. I have to say Billy Mitchell is obviously a good donkey kong player, but thats about it. As a man and as a human being, Steve Wiebe comes out on top. Thats worth more than a donkey kong score in most people's book.

I was shocked that Billy Mitchell was unable to even acknowledge Steve Wiebe's presence. Very weak.

Billy Mitchell- You are a weak, cowardly man

WOW!! I just watched the movie, great, great, great! Being a product of the early 70's i was in to the arcades huge! Still am, just at home, on a cozy chair. I have also seen many films and docs, and was editing footage with razor blades and scotch tape before video caught up, so I know how films can be unbalanced, michael moore, blah blah. But you know what? Even if Billy was the 'one' "born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending,"
I'd still only remember him comparing himself to perfection...After opening a fortune cookie.
I would much rather meet and greet Steve Wiebe. Less history, but less stink too.
Great friggin movie. Best part is when that dude slams his Vdub trunk shut on his gear, I can relate homey!!

Billy=douchebag

I just visited twin galaxies forums and found it interesting that all the topics on King of Kong are locked and noone can reply!!!!
They are obvious following the reign of douchebag with a capital "Bag".

On a final note: Steve Wiebe is the Donkey Kong champion!!!!!!!

So, in light of all these scores, whatever happened to the 985K score that Steve earned at Funspot, and did his buddy come through with the $10K for Billy beating a million in a public venue? How public was the venue and did anyone tear apart the machine to make sure it had not been tampered with? I find it interesting that the machine Steve played in the documentary was in Billy's hometown and the Billy nevr played it with Steve or the filmcrew in attendence. I just visited the Twin Galaxies website and feel that they went to extraordinary efforts to secure Billy's place at the top, delaring that Steve's game was now "illegal". I think that Steve , Tim and Billy should play on one machine , one at a time. The highest score at the end of three complete games is the winner. No thoughts of cheating, advantages or so on.I'll provide THE Donkey Kong machine .

I just finished watching the movie about the Donky Kong record and I must say that I agree that Billy is the biggest POS! He lamanets about issues then breaks them himself and seems to almost cry that he is no longer worthwhile. My god if thats all you have in your pathetic life you deserve to be second. I admire and applaud Steve for coming out and actually proving himself and have absolutely NO RESPECT for Billy. Twin Galaxies also should be blamed and held accountable as well, I think they are so Pro-Billy its sickening. Steve I hope you the best and to me you represent a true champion.
