Does he still get the Martha Stewart/Serena Williams sandwich in the Lincoln bedroom?

If they ever make a real mainstream movie out of the story, they would have to get Ben Stiller for the role.

His character in Dodge Ball was based off of Billy Mitchell.

Greatest villain of all time. At least he has his hot sauce business to sustain him through these tough times.

I really thought it was going to be silly but its pretty heartfelt underdog story. Mitchell came across as such a d-bag. Its King Of Kong: A Fistfull of Quarters is any one is interested in the documentary.


Back when IMDB had modless boards connected to every movie. Mitchell and is cronies would post on there talking about how the movie was fake and made him look worse than he really was. There was a lot of doxxing on both sides, the “kill screen” guy had his number posted on it. It’s sad that I remember all that

Side note: The IMDB boards were great. Sucks they got ride of them

[img]including his perfect score in Pac-Man in 1999[/img]

As an interesting aside (at least to someone like me who is old enough to have played Pac-man in the arcade when it was new) Pac-Man is one of the few, if not only, arcade game where you can actually have a perfect score. After IIRC, 163 levels half the screen goes goofy and the game is over, not by design but due to a glitch in the software. This allows for a true "perfect" game. If I am not mistaken others have also at least claimed a perfect game.

The owner of an arcade in Mandeville banned me from playing Pac Man in his arcade. Apparently, one quarter every 30 minutes wasn’t enough revenue.

I took my business down the road to Nick’s EAT in Covington.

Yes.

Instead of using a stock Donkey Kong machine, he used MAME to run it via emulation and was able to manipulate the Random Number Generator for certain random scores (barrels destroyed by a hammer) as a result to guarantee a higher score.

Keep in mind, Steve Wiebe’s machine and score were subject to massive investigation when Wiebe broke one of Mitchell’s scores while Mitchell’s videotape of this was accepted as just fine by the leadership of Twin Galaxies.
