I hated Billy about as much as I hated the warden in Shawshank.

IMDB says it was released in 2002? I'd love to find this.

Bumping this because it made its debut on G4 tv yesterday.

Great film, but completely slanted perspective from reality to the story the director wanted to tell.

I'd like to shake Brian Kuh's hand, then punch him in the face.

BTW, this broad loved Sex and the City - The Movie

i thought this movie was cool. ive seen it about 3-4 times now. billy mitchell is the ****ing man. he put up a Cool Million on DK live at funspot the day the movie came out. lol.

Yea but I don't trust Billy Mitchell.

Wow.. that's really lame. My faith in documentaries about pathetic but likable characters has been totally shaken.

Official?

Lol, wtf? I'm supposed to believe that nuthugger Walter Day? Gimme a break.

wow, random bump

Ive seen it and its def good....but if you do some research youll find that its completely not how things really happened.

The explanations by twingalaxies verge on the absurd.

its strange to think about how we got a peak into their little world, but they are real people that are still living in that world.

A few are likely to be legit, like the 3rd guy who had the record, etc...

I wouldn't take Walter Day at his word on this, but the truth obviously lies somewhere in between what we heard and what everyone else has said.

Yea just because Twin Galaxies comes up with an explanation, doesn't mean it's true/accurate.

It comes down to which side you believe.

Can anyone summarize the Twin Galaxies stuff?

I saw how the Twin Galaxies guys acted on camera. That means I believe anyone but them.

walter day is actually a really nice person that puts a ton of effort into keeping competitive gaming alive. if you are a true video game enthusiast you would appreciate his efforts. he takes alot of time and spent hours upon hours to publish his record books and keep contact with the community. twin galaxies is really reputable amongst game players and the whole slandar of billy's image in the movie is to make it somewhat interesting. there obviously has to be some type of drama to keep the crowd interested and by making one person seem evil and one seem good, this develops the good guy vs bad guy scenario and creates an actual storyline instead of seeing two people playing a game. cmon man, the concept isnt too difficult. if you go and youtube some video stuff youll see walter day on some old old tv shows with billy mitchell and others. guys like this dont stick around forever because they are liars, scammers, etc. they stick around because they are stand up people who actually care about what they do and should get some respect for it.

Are you saying someone forced Walter Day and Billy Mitchell to say those things they said on camera? Cause that's what I judge them on. Walter does appear to be nice, but clueless as to his own biases. Billy is a whacko nerd run amuck. As a whacko nerd myself I can identify another one a mile away.

some of this stuff is obviously staged and many things were used for effect to keep interest. i dont know billy personally but i can do know walter. he is a very very very nice guy and just loves games to death

I would be interested in trying Billy's hot sauce. Has anyone else had this privilege?

I saw this last night and was very confused as to why Billy would talk so much **** and not play Steve head to head. That didnt annoy anyone else? I was like wtf, he won't even play the guy. Overall, very entertaining and in terms of douchiness: Kuh>>>>>>>Mitchell imo.

LOL

What a c***. Everyone I know who saw that movie, from all walks of life, gamers, females, etc. - absolutely loved it.

new line is in the process of making a fictional remake of this movie, with greg kinnear playing steve wiebe

while reading about that, i came across this real picture of billy:


he looks like the guy in the painting from ghostbusters 2
