It's funny how much of a repeat of the Vic Mignyanya fiasco this lawsuit is. It's also funny how much of a repeat of Apollo Legend Jobst is. I was there during Apollo's "Stop Billy Mitchell" thing few years ago and many people were warning him that he's an idiot who's going to get skinned alive in court. Lo and behold it turned out Apollo has no firm legal ground to fight Mitchell and it was just a brick in the wall of his suicide. If things keep repeating then that's Jobst's fate, too.
 
AttorneyTom (LegleEagle's slightly less faggy little brother) has reviewed Karl Jobst's video on the lawsuit. I haven't had a chance to finish the whole thing, but from the title, it sounds like he may disagree with Karl's view of the case. Could be the beginning of some mainstream pushback to which I'm sure Karl will respond well.

I predict the birth of a Karl Jobst thread within the next week.


Edit: Okay, I was thinking he was going to pick up on the fact that Karl is clearly having a bit of a cope session, but the only thing he corrected was then Karl was saying that Billy's lawyers were evil for keeping him on even after they must have known he was a conman. Tom pointed out that it's not that simple. An attorney has to put in a request to be allowed to stop representing their client while in the middle of a case, which is often denied.

It seems Tom is really interested and might be about to dive in to the Billy Mitchell rabbit hole.

Whipped this up a few nights ago and forgot to post it.

Wondering if I should just make a full on parody of the Hulk Hogan Real American video just to piss off Karl on Youtube. Will I have the time or would it still be relevant by the time it's completed? Probably not.

If Billy wants to dig himself out of cheat grove, all he really needs to do is train the fuck up and lay it down on a black stick cabinet.

I don't even mind if he has some greaseball fuck tune the machine up first, wouldn't be far off from the actual arcade. One youtube channel I watch talked about how all the grease and filth fucked the machines, and that was their lived in environment.

So reflow the caps, remagnatize the faggotron, whatever the shit needs to be done to get the kong machine in fighting trim, and then throw beardo into another record run.

Thats because, if anyone could, Silly Bitchell (by far the greatest thing Karl Jobst will ever contribute to humanity is this hilarious nickname for old Billy) would somehow find a way to pursue legal action past the mortal realm.
Late note here - Jobst borrowed that nickname, the guy who came up with it was Roy Schilf, an arcade game(Missile Command) record holder who was contemporaneous with Mitchell and the rest of the old TG crowd, whom he couldn't stand. Pretty sure Jobst has shown the video clip where Schilf dunks on Mitchell and Rogers a few times.

By the way, this Mr. Schilf was quite a coomer in his own right and has done stuff like pay pornstars for a threesome, of which he had a sex-tape and picture album made.

To be fair, Apollo had fucked his chances in court into the next galaxy by his absolutely autistic antics (turning up to some old fogeys' event featuring Mitchell while dressed up as Billy and doing a sort of "interview" with the man himself, footage of which he either livestreamed or released as a video). To be absolutely clear, this was after Mitchell had filed suit against him.

Jobst has refrained from this sort of thing, probably because of distance and actually listening to his lawyer(also, hopefully his wife would bitchslap him if he ever announced such intention)

I like some of Karl's videos, primarily about WATA (which is really a scummy business), but these legal battles with both Billy and potentially Jirard (who has threatened legal action) are starting to take a toll on him mentally to where he's getting worked up over a video of Null mentioning him crying over a speedrun to the point of getting it taken down. If you truly are that insecure, then maybe, just maybe, you know deep down that speedrunning/highscores for videogames is a big fucking meme and a waste of time. Compare that to athletes who win a big game or get a gold medal and break down in tears. How many times has Tom Brady been made fun of for crying? A lot. But he doesn't give a fuck, he's god damn Tom Brady.
So yes, I do want to see Billy succeed, because a clown like him deserves to fail upwards like DSP and become king of shit mountain.

Billy's scores aren't even close to the top now. The King of Kong movie revitalized the game so there's a ton of competition that wasn't there before. Sure he's good, but he would have to grind like crazy at this point to be competitive again, which is probably why he cheated in the first place.

Also as someone who works on pinball and sometimes arcade games, there really isn't anything you have to do with most 4-way leaf switch joysticks besides maybe clean the contacts. Sure gunk could have gotten in there but it's not really likely to affect it. Replacing the big capacitors on the PCB also helps but those being out of spec wouldn't really affect the gameplay, they're more of an audio/video quality thing. Recapping the monitor is probably the more important thing.

Exactly. All of this is just meaningless and I always make fun of spedrunners when they "celebrate" a PB. Like what the fuck is the accomplishment? A few numbers on a screen?

Is retarded. The nazi who spedran goldeneye said it perfectly: "Speedrunning is the most degenerate act in mankind." It accomplish nothing, serves no purpose and nobody cares that you spend hundreds of hours sitting on your ass while you could have been doing something worthwhile with your life.

Billy knows it and takes advantage of it. Good for it, the grift is good.

There's also the problem of age - your reaction time deteriorates with increasing age, and I wouldn't be surprised if the current leaderboard was dominated by young players.

The rules may also have changed - I know glitch exploitation is permitted for some, if not all games under the new management (Walter Day used to not care, then banned it for everything at the request of the then Berzerk record-holder when a major glitch giving the player predictable repeating levels was discovered in that game and incidentally let new players dust that loser's scores.)

(I think billy's still banned from the real scoreboard(I didn't see a notice that he was unbanned when I looked) so he'd have to overcome that too.

If Mitchell is really as concerned about component deterioration as his "Expert"(who has never published in the field of hardware deterioration) makes out in his Opinion (thanks for the lulz, Dr. Zyda), he could have the cabinet rewired entirely(old insulation hardens and sometimes cracks, which can give you short circuits). As long as the PCB and monitor(CRT) work there shouldn't really be problems. (I worked at a company which did maintenance on really old stuff to earn money while at university, that's where I learned this shit).

If Mitchell can show his hands on legitimate inputs along with his gameplay and somehow prove that he's playing on original or equivalent hardware, I don't think anyone would care if he regained the title of Lord of The Ape Game.

But why should he? Lawfare is a much easier activity, especially if you have seemingly unlimited funds to pay for lawyers to do the heavy lifting for you. Like the equally execrable Acerthorn, Billy thinks he's discovered the cheat code to life.
 
Jobst just put out another video on The Completionist scam and has a full-on meltdown for the first 10 mins about finances. He shows a bill from his attorney showing $50k owed just for the month. He's fucked.

Good luck with that. He's an old man. No way he has the reflexes he used to, and he'd have to beat every subsequent person who beat the living SHIT out of his ancient record.

That would be all of these:

Oh and these too.

Considering he had to cheat to get even the first one when he was at the top of his form, fat chance.
