Yeah. I mean this is quite a result for Bill. Having backing from Guinness is worth a lot more, credibility wise, than an endorsement from today's Twin Galaxies.

Yeah, that's true.
Well, he may be a cheater, he may not have earned his records, but one thing I can say for sure;
He's better at Donkey Kong than me.
I can print off a certificate and mail it to him if he wants.

Has Walter Day bought Guinness World Records?

Twin Galaxies...never been much of a fan tbh, I suppose its because I'm not that competetive (apart from Defender), just love playing them but have enjoyed all the controversy surrounding this...most entertaining
No doubt the man has skills and I'm still not convinced he is totally guilt free in this but he got what he wanted out of it, I think...bit like a US version of "I'm a celebrity, dont forget me"
Even drama on his tweet statement...18 minutes of coming soon, then a quick 5 minute stream at the end...maybe its all that hot sauce

Whether you want to believe it or not or you know him personally doesn’t cancel out the fact that he DID cheat. It’s not an opinion anymore, it’s a fact. I don’t understand how people can think otherwise, unless they’re unaware of the overwhelming evidence that is out there.

I'd love to see a new King of Kong film but I wonder what it's content would be about.
Surely it can't revolve around Wiebe and Mitchel any longer, as neither has troubled the DK leaderboard since the first film was released.
I have little interest in a film that focuses on the shenanigans of the past couple of years - I'd want it to be about the players and the competition.

Guinness don’t really care if their records are legitimate? Thats the whole point of the organisation isn’t it?
I don't have a TV license so I don't watch TV. And the reason is that everything is twisted for their own adgenda and sensationalism. And that goes for reality film makers more than anything.
I don't know this guy, so don't have an opinion either way. But, if some asshole has made a film about something 'real' I'll bet you a fiver it's bullsh*t. They usually are.

Bill is a nice bloke.
He's always been there to encourage gamers who are competing at events or live on stream.
When we played Pac Man together in 2015 in Florida, I watched him play 'rusty' at Pac Man and he's impressive still. I encouraged him to play it again and he eventually achieved another perfect game on the 40th anniversary of Pac Man live.
We stay in touch and I also did a 40th anniversary game too on Twitch. Well, I did 2 just to keep the UK flag flying on Pac Man

i think he is the victim of a film maker with a preset agenda, it wouldn’t have made interesting viewing if everyone got on.
bit if a hero of mine, fantastic gamer and seems like a nice guy from what i have seen, must be hard to be painted as the villain when it is undeserved

Early 2000's I was contacted out of the blue by Ed Cunningham ( producer of KOK ) , to see if I was interested in attending an event in Florida. He said it was part of a documentary on high score rivalries on various classic arcade games . Donkey Kong was one of these games , but there was a bunch of others .
Somewhere along the way they decided to make it a one on one with Billy and Steve .Sandinista2020-10-26 22:26:53
