I learned about him in the AF, so I didn't know that he was found innocent, let alone guilty.

Same here! Was never in any service, but have watched and studied quite a lot of history about the wars. I never even saw this guy before, and I'm in to tech and gaming!

Seriously. I haven't watched it yet. Only watched the trailer, and I don't think that I want to see it. I was thinking the same, what in the fuck? :nailbiting:

They were not allowed to be submitted on tape at the time, but they made an exception for Mitchell since he was friendly with several people at Twin Galaxies and was considered a legend.

Even if his record could be sent in on tape the editing of the score, at a very specific time, is fake as can be.

What he did is what we call "Tool Assisted" these days. He basically spliced together segments he recorded using the arcade emulator MAME. There are several videos out there now that break down how he did it.
 
I should do a Google search on who this Billy Mitchell guy is before responding to this thread...

edit: so the guy cheated on Donkey Kong and Pac-Man...
 
If you thought A Fist Full of Quarters was cringy, check out the followup Chasing Ghosts. The one dude's "art" collection. I don't even know. It almost tops Mr. Awesome.
 
This guy is Mr. Perfect I hope he gets his twin galaxies score and record reinstated.
