I can't get too worked up over high-score stuff.  Unless it's played live in front of a bunch of impartial witnesses, the chance is always there that it's faked.

I actually don't gaf about this shit at all, but the drama aspect is entertaining. That was my stance with Rogers too.

I legit wouldn't have known about either guy existing, or the cheat situations if they weren't brought up by people I talk (type?) to regularly.

Agreed, the drama is definitely lulzworthy.

I only became aware of these people and twin galaxies because of the movie/documentary.

And I only learned of the documentary because of this forum and YouTube.


And I only watched it at the time because I was still a college student and had loads of free time.


But now I have no feee time and don’t care enough to feel it’s sensalrional news.

What’s next people gong to lose their minds over olypiance doping to excel?  Oh wait.

In a sense they still achieved the feat themselves.

Sure Billy came off as a tool in the movie. And it could be said they hyped him to give the movie some drama.

But I also hear from people who have met him in real life say he is a dick as well.

So. Not sure where I was going with this. Going to side step out.

Identify with? I identify with every poor bastard that ever knew the guy. He’s the absolute quintessence of a specific subspecies of douche I’ve known a dozen examples of in my life. Most people have. Is that what you mean, that he’s a sort of common shithead foil in everyone’s life? Like Biff Tanen or Jimmy Hart? That I can see.

Guys a legend even my dad knows who he is, who described Mario once as "the red jumping guy". He still has a huge following too it looks like, just reading his newly edited'd wiki page. Definitely a name people would still recognize and identify him rooted in the retro video game community.

I guess you meant people could "identify" him, and not "identify with" him.  Just like a lot of people could "identify" Pac Man.

yeeee, like people identify Tony Hawk being within the skateboarding community

It’s pretty obvious you’re one of those submissive beta male types. There should be a more socially acceptable way for people to bail on toppled dirtbags. Its OK. You can flip flop on things sometimes, this is %100 one of those situations although I imagine you’ll be sticking up for crooked cops and pedo priests your whole life. Some people are just born to be servile to even those with the most skant traces of authority.

I love you

Oh yeah, I saw that as well. 'King of Con', or something along those lines.
