We have multiple speed-running threads and this one too, all are adequate receptacles of Mitchell content.

Depending on if he goes through with the lolsuit we'll probably get a dedicated one, or just a Lolcow LLP megathread.

Apollo just uploaded this short video. He raised the money he needed for the attorney in a matter of hours and is working on filing a countersuit against Milly Bitchell.

After witnessing what went down in some other lolsuits it seems really weird to me that he's not only sure legal fees will not exceed $10k, but is so sure that he'll even give the excess money away.

Crossposting this from the Billy Mitchell lawsuit thread, where when the discussion of TG pedos came up I decided to do a bit of research on some of the characters named in the OP.

All in the main Twin Galaxies thread but here's some extra shit I've digged up about these cretins. There are several notable convicted pedophiles who were high up in this scene and with Twin Galaxies. Such as Steven Krogman who was the world record holder at Galaga (for over 15 years), Arkanoid, and one version of Tetris. In 2002 he got a lengthy sentence for raping a 12 year old girl and his stack of child porn but Twin Galaxies kept him around anyway. Here he is with Walter Day (Twin Galaxies founder and former owner) and Billy Mitchell in 2014.

Steve is friends with Ron Corcoran, another convicted pedophile. Ron was a referee for Twin Galaxies and part of their board of directors and had a few high scores in the past. He raped his daughter for years before the justice system caught up to him and put the sick fuck away with a 20 year prison sentence (although he may be out right now on early release). Here's an old post from Robert Mruczek (a former director at Twin Galaxies, former Missile Command high score holder, and supposedly violated some ethics regulation and had to quit) where Mruczek seems to be unhappy with both his friend Ron's behavior and also people discussing it.

Pictured here is Steve at the arcade with Ron Corcoran's daughter beside him.

Ron Corcoran is also friends with Lonnie Cancienne, arrested in 2009 for running around naked chasing women and public masturbation. Lonnie had previous charges for doing the same shit but that time underage girls. Probably trying to copy Custers Revenge or shit like that. Lonnie goes way back in this scene since he's the former world record holder of Asteroids. Here's a little discussion on him from the Twin Galaxies forum, confirming it's probably the same guy. Not totally sure about the Ron Corcoran links which may be a rumor.

There is also convicted pedophile, Ron Bailey, a former world record holder at Berzerk and notable in the early days of Twin Galaxies, appeared in the Twin Galaxies documentary Chasing Ghosts. Around this time he was convicted of raping several elementary school-aged boys he coached at one point and he's now serving an effective life sentence. He's not as close in with the rest of the Twin Galaxies clique so I can't find any appearances with Billy Mitchell.

Since the topic was pedophiles and not other sick fucks, I excluded Ned Troide, pictured in the old 80s photo in the OP. In 1988, Ned took part in the kidnapping, gang rape, and attempted murder of a woman. Unfortunately for him the woman survived and Ned received a lengthy prison sentence which made him fall out of the Twin Galaxies clique.

What the fuck??

So is pedophilia the trooning out of old school speedrunning?

Is Billy leveling up to be the DSP of the retro scene? Order popcorn now.

CHAD MITCHELL KEEPS WINNING

ApolloLegend uploaded another video, he couldn't do the lawsuit because the defamation case is hard to prove:

Pretty much everyone said that at the beginning didn't they?

Billy is now suing speedrunner, Karl Jobst, for alleged defamation in a video Jobst posted urging alleged world records to stay out of alleged video games.

Copies of those documents are attached.
tl;dr of those documents:

1. Billy is a winner, Guinness Book of World Records isn't a scam, and Jobst should feel bad for making videos contradicting these points.
2. Jobst must remove the "Anti-Billy" video.
3. He is never to talk bad about Billy in a video ever again.
4. He must tell Billy he's sorry.
5. He must pay Billy $150,000 plus legal fees.
6. He has seven days to comply (He now has four days).

Karl knew this was a possibility, I've listened to him talk on stream about Billy and he was well aware of Billy's rep. I hope our Aussie friend runs a train of Billy. It would be the only thing more epic than his Elite score and eggplant-themed twitch emotes.

Too bad Canada doesn't have anti-SLAPP.

I'm sure this has been said, but holy fuck how sad is your life that you're fighting with/suing people about your fake video game score.

Nice.

Nice.

Billy Mitchel is the Vordrak of arcade gaming.

 

[Agent Wet]

So EZscape has made a video on his second channel about what has been going on with Apollo legend
He also made a tweet longer for a more personal take

I will properly archive these later just in case

It looks like Jace Hall, current owner of Twin Galaxies is now suing Twin Galaxies Classic. Hall seeks to sue not only Billy Mitchell, but Walter Day, and a few annexed greasy mullets, for their role in fabricating the scores of TG cultists, de-legitimizing the scores of would-be Donkey Kong hi-score nerds, and being fucking awful with all the money they made from the scam.

God, Karl is just so less charismatic on Youtube than he was on Twitch.
