There is a Donkey Kong Kill Screen coming up... (1 Viewer)

[Nigel Tufnel]

I'm going to a costume birthday party on Saturday night where we have to dress up as a celebrity. Not too excited about this. I'm thinking of going as Billy Mitchell.

Well?

I was afraid of this bump. Wife wasn't keen on the idea and a little skirmish ensued. We, uh, didn't attend the party.

Billy Mitchell, still wrecking lives

She looked him up and is already considering leaving me for him.

What was the issue? Did you suggest that she dress up as Mr. Awesome?

See, that was the problem. I thought of what I wanted to do and she was upset that I didn't think of a "couplesy" thing, like, Brangelina or J-Lo and her ###.

If it had to be a couple costume, THIS was definitely the way to go

Roy Shildt's wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Shildt

Roy Shildt, aka "Mr. Awesome," is a self-proclaimed fitness guru and pickup artist whose provision of a Donkey Kong circuit board to Steve Wiebe sparked the chain of events which comprised the documentary film The King of Kong.

Shildt was a "professional" gamer in the 1980s who claimed to hold the highest score ever recorded on a Missile Command game. [1] [2]

During his days as a gamer, Shildt claims to have been given the nickname "Mr. Awesome" by his fellow gamers; ever since, Shildt has largely used the moniker in place of his name, and often refers to himself in the third person as "Mr. Awesome." [1]

Upset about the lack of press coverage for his achievement, Shildt became a fierce self promoter, appearing in a 1988 issue of Playgirl magazine and beginning work on the first "comic book autobiography". After his appearance in Playgirl, Shildt began publishing his personal information in magazines, including his IQ and sperm count. Shildt claims to have received dozens of calls in response to the ad, including one from Madonna and an unnamed male celebrity whom Shildt claims to have photographed performing oral sex on him. Shildt claims to have used these trysts for the basis of a dating program he formulated to help men pick up women. [1]

Shildt rose to national prominence when he was featured in the documentary film The King of Kong. He is first mentioned as having provided Steve Wiebe, one of the film's two core subjects, the circuit board for his Donkey Kong machine. [2] After Wiebe breaks record holder Billy Mitchell's high score, Mitchell sends people to Wiebe's house to investigate the machine. They learn that the board was provided by Shildt, at which point the film delves into Shildt's history, and explains that Billy Mitchell brought Shildt's Missile Command score under scrutiny, preventing him from being recognized as the high score holder. [2] Ever since, Shildt and Mitchell have been embroiled in a bitter rivalry.

Mitchell alleges that Shildt modified the circuit board that he provided to Wiebe, and as a result, Wiebe's score is nullified. [2] The remainder of the film follows Wiebe's quest to clear himself of any wrongdoing while at the same time re-claiming the high score; Shildt appears at the end to wish Wiebe success in his life, and also to continue promoting himself and his ongoing quest to be recognized as the Missile Command high-score holder.

I'm not sure how I missed this thread. After watching some of this on YouTube, does Billy Mitchell remind anyone else of Big Ernie McCracken?

 

[Dexter Manley]

Just checked out the twingalaxies website for the first time, and noticed that our boy Steve Wiebe is attempting to regain the Donkey Kong world record today.

So what you're saying is that there's a possible Donkey Kong kill screen coming up?

No big. Sanders has some tapes of me setting higher scores that we haven't released yet.

Little know fact: Steve Wiebe is the only man walking the earth that has had a possible Donkey Kong kill screen coming up twice in one day.Btw, even if Wiebe retakes the record, I'm sure it won't stand for long as Billy Mitchell always has a plan.

5 years with the master of Pac-Man -- article on Billy Mitchell:

http://laweekly.blogs.com/joshuah_bearman/...ly_mitchell.pdf

His

most noted feat, however, remains

the landmark “perfect” Pac-Man,

which Billy completed on July 3,

1999 at 4:45 P.M. at the Funspot

Family Fun Center in Weirs Beach,

New Hampshire. In one six-hour

game, he collected all available

points—every dot, every energizer,

every ghost (while energized), every

bonus prize, for all 256 levels—on

his first man. This fulfilled the

game’s maximum scoring potential

of 3,333,360 points. Another player

named Rick Fothergill had almost

beaten Billy to the mark, but he fell

short by nine dots, or 90 points.

Fothergill is Canadian, and his challenge

made Billy redouble his efforts,

because Billy thinks of his Pac-

Man prowess as a patriotic symbol, a

matter of national pride not unlike

like the space race. Billy was so determined

to beat Canada that he

forgot to eat for several days. He had

set out on his quest July 1—Canada

Day—and eventually executed

30,000 precisely calculated turns for

a perfect run just in time to celebrate

America’s own Day of Independence

on July 4. “It’s like Neil

Armstrong walking on the moon,”

he told reporters afterward. “No

matter how many people accomplish

the feat, it will always be Armstrong

who will be remembered for doing it

first. And, best of all, it was an

American.” To emphasize the point,

Billy began using a new set of highscore

initials: U S A.

I was watching G4 this past weekend and saw that his Donkey Kong Jr. record just got broken. I am sure he will send in a grainy, spliced video to Twin Galaxies in order to reclaim that record as well.

That is awesome Thanks for posting this.Unbelievable how this guy truly believes he is a hero. He has that Cold War generation mentality, and it's part of the reason he is a walking quote factory. You can't even imagine shtick as good as Billy Mitchell.

On G4 right now. Wiebe's on his way to Funspot. Brian Kuh talking about eating 10 pieces of bacon and playing some video games.

Caught about 10 minutes last night. It was on again this morning so I tivo'ed it. Some parts seemed to have been recreated for effect though, no? Like when the halfway normal guy was at the arcade and Skippy was walking around saying "there's about to be a kill screen", they showed that kid calling Billy, and there just happened to be a second camera crew at Billy's?
