Billy Mitchell: What's the latest news?
« on: June 07, 2018, 01:24:12 pm »
 <Billy>
What's the latest news?
Anyone seen any evidence he's even disputing his ban at all now?
Seems to have gone very quiet for someone that was going to fight to restore their reputation
Maybe there isn't a tape, I feel it would have been found by now if it existed  <stirpot>

He swore he had tapes but they ended up just being the pee tapes. I wonder if Michael Cohen has the real 1M+ tapes...

If he waits long enough the technology will come along that will allow him to get Mame transitions on an arcade PCB.   <snek>

In the meantime at least we know he has people vouching for his character.  <Sanders> <Sanders> <Sanders>

He will be at the Southern Fried Gaming Expo in Atlanta, GA this weekend, apparently as will Todd Rodgers, to present new defense in their situations. If anyone is attending this weekend, record some footage of it! lol.

The SFGE schedule lists Sat 6/9 7-8PM - "Road to Redemption: Billy Mitchell & Walter Day - Giants of Classic competitive video gaming come together in an epic panel to discuss their storied pasts and answer questions and current controversies."

I'll be at Hamilton tomorrow night so won't make it, but perhaps someone else will attend and give us an update as otherwise I'm not sure we'll see an update with new evidence anywhere online.  An hour unfortunately won't be long enough for Billy to put up a 1.12M+ score, but hopefully Todd will take the chance to duplicate his Dragster score live.  And a lot of anecdotes.

Road to Redemption

The first step is admitting and apologizing.

And Roy Shildt will pull a working Bouncer machine out of his ass after regaining his world record on six-city Missile Command using the slow trakball setting while in handcuffs.

i know his last appearance was a basement arcade.

i also the gofundme https://www.gofundme.com/arcadefire-billy-mitchell-fringe has raised $235 of the $5000 they needed by the end of may to secure his appearance during his busy convention schedule.  they missed the deadline, on the brightside they might find his prices dropping and his schedule not quite as busy as initially anticipated ;)

I am seriously tired of kickstarters for plays or things that should be self sustaining.  I'll contribute if it is for a charity or a good cause, but not becuse "I need muh cash to make muh moveee"
