--- Quote from: Epyx on January 20, 2011, 06:16:57 pm ---Definitely throwing my support for Billy Mitchell. While it is cool that Steve and Hank got into Kong recently, Billy is old school. Billy reminds me of the guys (specifically his 80s footage) of the good players I would see in arcades...geeks in all other aspects but in the arcade they were Kings and could back their arrogance. Being an old school arcade gamer myself I gotta go with the guy who enjoyed the game back when it was first out and popular. Plus his smug act is just awesome. --- End quote --- I'm with him! Billy Mitchell is pure genuine awesomeness! ^^ |

I throw in with Billy as well. He's been an important part of these games for a while, and in truth, Wiebe owes a lot to Billy. Without him, the score and the film wouldn't have been much. The story was only interesting in the fact that that Mitchell set such a high standard once upon an time, and the filmmakers went a bit too far to vilify him. I'm not true old school player, but Billy's attitude and quotes (as corny as they may be) definitely sum up what competitive gameplay is all about. Hank Chien is pretty damned awesome himself coming out of nowhere and schooling guys who've been into the game for 20 or 30 years. But yeah, I love the concept, everyone having ample time to prepare and us getting to see who does better on the day. |

You are 100% correct. Billy Mitchell has opened doors for all competitive gaming. It doesn't matter if you like him or hate him but you have to respect what he has done for video games. I can go on and on but I will spare ya all. But I did start going through my video footage from thetronoff.com event and found a bunch of great video still in HD If you guys can here is a link with a facebook share button on it. I could use all the publisity i can get. Yes I am in beg mode hahahha http://thekongoff.com/photos/eventphotos/ I'll post more if you guys want.
