Your OP seems to be predicated on the idea that

1) the original posted IS Tim S
2) that TG, and the rest of us, somehow failed to recognize his achievement

and, it would appear, that neither of those is actually true, so I guess you are right ... my statements were, in fact, based on a foundation of disbelief ... of stupid ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- that you couldn't bother to Google.

The question remains, however, as to who is the uvula.

I have no idea who Tim S is.  I've never even heard of him, as far as I know, unless he's mentioned in King of Kong, in which case I have completely forgotten who he is.  I have absolutely no opinion on the matter.



Not mentioned at all in the movie, which is part of the what the OP is talking about.

Tim S = Tim Sczerby....not the OP, though.

WTF dude?  It doesn't matter who Tim S is.  A bunch of people said that using a high score as a measure of self-worth or success is dumb and pathetic.  I said, if you don't believe him, fine, say you don't believe him.  But if you do believe him, there's no reason to be an ---uvula---.  Any of us would be proud to own that accomplishment.  WTF is wrong with that?  I don't know or care who Tim S is.  There is absolutely NOTHING you can tell me about Tim S that would provide any rational reason to change the beliefs I expressed in my original post.

WTF Dude ?

Points, which you missed, some of which you were eager enough to assume when you bit down on folks for being "---uvulas---".

1) OP is NOT Tim S and has NOTHING to with King Of Kong
2) TwinGalaxies did not supress ANYTHING with respect to the record set by Tim S on Donkey Kong *9* freaking years ago. read the frakking interview with him from when he did break the record.
3) People did NOT say that using a high score as a measure of self-worth was pathetic
4) People DID say that ongoing whining about lack of recognition of a high score, particularly when posting as somebody else, as a measure of self-worth is pathetic
5) Pretty much everybody else in the thread had seen this same ---smurfing--- diatribe before, which is why you are the only one chiming in on that side of the equation

*I* was the one who called the OP pathetic and I stand by that -- if you can bring yourself around to realize that the OP has NOTHING to do with KoK *and* have seen the same guy make the same claims and threats for *YEARS*, then you will appreciate that he really *IS* pathetic.

But you saw folks that you don't like saying mean things and just rushed in to chastise them, figuring that they were wearing those funny hats ...

I was going to admit that perhaps I did imply that using a high score as a measure of self-worth was pathetic, but PBJ is more on point, so I will withdraw ...  :burgerking:

I don't think the OP is claiming to be Tim S. It just seems that way given his horrible writing skills.
I think he's quoting an email he got from Tim S. and using it to try to bolster his claim that TG is unfair as he trolls for more signatures for his petition.

Thus the line...
And another GREAT gamer who has been given the shaft too

Meaning Tim. S.

I know some Japanese guy, living with Godzilla in Tokyo, who has a dirty little secret. He played over 3 milion on Donkey Kong, and passed the garbled screen on Puck-Man TWICE!  :cheers:

What is the King of Kong?  I get the Donkey Kong bit, but isn't the game a pac man type with an ape?

Who is the OP and if he got the high score, did he get any trophy from Nintendo?

Why is there so much bickering about something so trivial and pointless?

Do these KoK people live in some backwater town, where it is some big deal?

Where can I buy this film, should I buy this film and will it change my life?

Is it better than Wargames?

Should I go back to playing WOW?

Hmm . . . on the one hand, it's Scrubs, which is at best astronomically overrated.  On the other hand, it's a compelling argument.  Conflicted.

I actually have a copy of the game I played 9 years ago that was the "real" one that beat Billy's long standing record from the 80's.....NOT Webie.

I'm confused.  As Cheffo pointed out, Webie wasn't the one to beat Billy's long standing record from the 80s.  Tim Sczerby was.  If the original poster was being truthful, wouldn't he know this?

Twin Galaxies recognized Tim Sczerby's Donkey Kong record in 2000
