Okay, it’s the big day! As promised, I’m going to dissect some legal technicalities, lingering questions, and alternate outcomes, as I outline why Twin Galaxies’ out-of-court settlement with disgraced gaming fraud Billy Mitchell was a good thing for non-cheaters everywhere. Plus, we’ll take a look at what all of this means for TG moving forward.
It’s finally time to begin closing the book on one of the stupidest chapters in video game history. Today, we recap the story so far, including the last few filings that came in before the deadline. We’re going to exonerate one Mighty Mister Tash. We will review what Twin Galaxies and Billy Mitchell did and did not get out of their out-of-court settlement. And we’ll also take a closer look at one very nutty professor.
In September 2022, perfectpacman.com proudly published a highly detailed technical analysis from hardware engineer and Donkey Kong expert Tanner Fokkens, examining why arcade and MAME transition screens appear the way they do. Today, Mr. Fokkens replies to a poorly conceived analysis from Billy Mitchell’s paid “expert witness”, Dr. Michael Zyda.
It’s official! Billy Mitchell has waved the white flag, coming to terms on a settlement with Twin Galaxies. While Billy did manage to clutch onto a couple shreds of undeserved dignity, his lawsuit against Twin Galaxies was otherwise an overwhelming defeat.
We have new updates in the Billy Mitchell / Twin Galaxies legal battle. Today we look at Billy’s failed attempt to disqualify Tash, a new motion for sanctions against Billy, yet more damning testimony countering Billy’s lies, a few interesting interpretations from Judge Wendy Chang, and a look at how Walter Day was able to escape from L.A.
Recently, Jirard Khalil, better known as “The Completionist”, published a video responding to recent reports of charity fraud. Unfortunately, Jirard chose to use this one-time opportunity to deflect responsibility, and to issue veiled threats of legal retaliation against the people covering the story. If this was supposed to be an “apology”, it could actually be the worst apology of all time.
Recently, it was discovered that a nonprofit run by YouTube personality “The Completionist” had been misrepresenting its claimed charity work for years. While the available facts are incomplete, they offer two distinct scenarios, neither of which are good.
More Billy Mitchell news! Billy’s lawyers are trying to have the Mighty Mister Tash DISQUALIFIED from the case. It is the most desperate thing you have ever seen. Meanwhile, Tash has filed for “issue sanctions” against Billy. Plus, we discuss a recent development in one of Billy’s other lawsuits.
On September 28th, Judge Wendy Chang passed on a golden opportunity to put Billy Mitchell’s bogus lawsuit to rest. But in the meantime, we get more evidence, as the case heads toward a jury trial.
