Karl is a failed pickup artist
Hey guys, I think you are really really cuteyeahgoodnight!

Sounds like I don't really want to know him.Just watch The King of Kong if you don't know Billy fucking Mitchell.
Yup. For those who didnt follow the story, I think it went down like this.Shouldn't of said he was the reason someone killed themselves, then framed it as it being because of cheating accusations in speed running. No sympathyYup
Dude quiet!People in here defending that piece of human crap Billy Mitchell, wtf?
What is this crap?
Why do we have threads about it?
Oh no, someone maybe cheated at a video game the horror, whatever will we do?People in here defending that piece of human crap Billy Mitchell, wtf?
He seems like such a douche. But I guess he just has that type of "pro wrestler" persona where he knows how to generate hype and build up heat and get people invested in the competition.Just watch The King of Kong if you don't know Billy fucking Mitchell.
A lot of it was theatre for the sake of the movie. That said he is a massive cheater and the movie exposed what a joke Twin Galaxies is/was.He seems like such a douche. But I guess he just has that type of "pro wrestler" persona where he knows how to generate hype and build up heat and get people invested in the competition.
King of Kong wouldn't have been half as great if not for Billy Mitchell playing some larger than life villain that you just wanted to see lose so so badly.
To cheer fraud (no matter how 'inconsequential') tells you a lot about a personOh no, someone maybe cheated at a video game the horror, whatever will we do?

This is a thing now
Also people who have seen the movie will get this reference:
First day on the internet?Seems shitty celebrating someone's problems, Billy Mitchell seems like a bit of cunt tho, so it's expected
Social media brings out the worst in people. Especially ones who make YT or twitch their career. Always got be be bigger, badder and brasher for clicks.Be careful who you go after online and what you say. Was it really worth it?
Pretty much this. Billy Mitchell is an asshole, but Karl had no idea what game he was playing here. Next time actually run scripts by a lawyer.I don't have anything bad to say about Jobst, just that I find his choices somewhat mind-boggling.
This is just a cope. Even if Billy cheated at fucking Donkey Kong, nobody cares. At the end of the day it's really not that deep bro. Do you prefer the funny heel character or the self righteous smug weirdo who overplayed his hand by a mile?To cheer fraud (no matter how 'inconsequential') tells you a lot about a person
Are you being serious? Just making sure…Because it's gaming related, and because some of us are interested in this topic.
That's pretty much it.
He's a piece of crap cause he abuses the legal system not because he's a cheater, get a grip man.Oh no, someone maybe cheated at a video game the horror, whatever will we do?
Billy makes tens of thousands of dollars per year from appearances at expos, from a reputation built on lies. He is also a litigious bully who ruins people's lives. He expressed delight at the thought of ApolloLegend's death.This is just a cope. Even if Billy cheated at fucking Donkey Kong, nobody cares. At the end of the day it's really not that deep bro. Do you prefer the funny heel character or the self righteous smug weirdo who overplayed his hand by a mile?
Of course he is, as evidenced by this very thread. Don't participate if it doesn't interest you but don't try to be some sort of dumb gatekeeper for the rest.Are you being serious? Just making sure…
Funny story about that photo: Mitchell wants you to believe that in 1999 he was crowned "Video Game Player of the Century" by the CEO of Namco. In fact, the plaque Billy is holding has nothing to do with being "Video Game Player of the Century". Actually, there is zero evidence that such a title was ever bestowed upon him at all. Twin Galaxies then requested Billy produce the plaque in a lawsuit, but apparently it was "lost". Later Billy produced not one, but two plaques (as in built fake ones) and submitted them as evidence lol
Does he really work?looks like karl will need another JOBst
For me this was what makes Karl a piece of shit. I watched his video a month ago on why he lost and all it amounted to was him whining for 8 minutes about how other people and news stations made it seem like Karl was being accused of calling Billy a cheater. I get not being able to talk about a case, however he could have came out at any time and said "hey this isn't about me calling him a cheater" and left it at that. He didn't do it because he knew people wanted Billy to burn for cheating and it could possibly get him more money on his go fund me.Shouldn't have said he was the reason someone killed themselves, then framed it as it being because of cheating accusations in speed running. No sympathy
he will have toDoes he really work?
I think he's allergic to job.
Are you being serious? Just making sure…
So his win against Karl is "abuse" of the legal system too?He's a piece of crap cause he abuses the legal system not because he's a cheater, get a grip man.
You don't say.I'm also a high-functioning autistic weirdo, so I guess I feel for Jobst.
Interesting, it comes across that strongly? Anyway, I remain unflinched in my moral stance. We would probably not be friends IRL.You don't say.
Hubris that's allAs far as I am concerned I have watched a lot of Karl's videos and he is definitely a competent person. He knows how to search for information, makes good deductions etc...
Trying his chance against Billy Mitchell though was a mistake. This guy is like the final boss, you can't go against someone who is so used about all of this justice stuff and expect to win easily. On top of this, the reason Karl was going against Billy wasn't crystal clear and I was quite surprised, like many others.
That being said, I wouldn't personally discredit Karl honestly. He made a ton of super interesting reports on TAS, cheaters, and the retro gaming bubble, that are definitely worth watching. So I hope he can overcome this trial (he has a lot of supporters so I am confident he will). And for Billy, what can you say... Even though he definitely looks like he has a lot going against him, he is just someone you can't easily touch. You are better off staying clear from him.
If you're a man of honour? Then yes. How small do you have to be to use any excuse to litigate other people? He might have technically been right seeing how he won the case, that doesn't mean he's morally right. That aside, the man makes a living of being offended, he's a worm.So his win against Karl is "abuse" of the legal system too?
this used to like karl but now.Fuck em both, they both seem insufferable.
same but its over for him even the fans have turned on him.Outside of the Billy, court, and youtuber drama. I do like his positive videos about speed running feats. He does a good job getting into the weeds, and explaining why one should be impressed by the accomplishment.
