Watched that video interview linked above, and I think he's hilariously sarcastic :P :laugh2:

That pretty much sums it up ;)
And, agreed, the doc made him look worse than he apparently is. I have seen other interviews with him and he doesn't come across as an ass at all...just a passionate nostalgia icon of long passed days...

I think he is brilliant and I hope it is all an act. The doc makes him look bad which in-turn makes the doc much more interesting. Without Billy Mitchell King of Kong would have just been a niche movie like "High Score". Nice movie but nothing truly memorable and certainly not much for non-gamers.
I have non-gaming friends that loved KOK mainly because of Billy. My wife in particular loved it and was genuinely excited when I told her that he regained the record.

He also fits nicely into the King Of Kong stereotype with that interview. Either it's super dry humor or the guy is a raging egotist.
Chances are it's a little of both. :)

It's kind of funny, I had an odd craving, to watch King of Kong again yesterday. My wife sat down and watched some of it, I don't think she has a very high opinion of Billy. I think I'd like to meet him before I pass judgement, but the doc did make him out to be an asshat.
