Another big videogame record is dead: Billy Mitchell of "King of Kong" fame caught using MAME and (probably) snapshots to set 1M point records in Donkey Kong twingalaxies.com

Just last week Todd Rogers's Drag Race record was invalidated. The truth is coming to light!!!!

people who cheat at videogames make me irrationally angry

This one is particularly upsetting, it seems so sad to cheat when you're already so much a part of the history of the game.

is this the guy that is super mean and cocky? or is it the other one i saw a doc of where he is kind of nice and mild

In "King of Kong", Billy Mitchell is the mean villain who seems to get away with anything while Steve Wiebe is the unfairly maligned underdog.

tbh I think it's a bit of sad that these old games are losing their mystique. The idea that there are ancient, forgotten tricks is very appealing, in a romantic way.

On the other hand, I really like the current collaborative optimization efforts, illustrated in their best shape in the recent super mario bros 4-2 progression video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1AHCaokqhg
