Ian is exactly right. Billy and the old gang are good video game players in their own right and have been for years(decades). And as Ian said, why not just live that out and enjoy the coin op conventions and other perks that come along with the fame they had acquired before all this. No need to cheat. But unfortunately this is the path Billy and Co. have chosen so now their legacy's become a laughing stock.

I’m sorry, but Billy ALWAYS seemed like a scumbag. And I’m not sure he really ever was all that good. He hasn’t placed well in public tournaments. And it appears Todd Rodgers was never legit. It’s possible that Billy might have been a legit record-holder back in the late 70s/early 80s, but I’m not sure he could compete once gaming exploded in the 90s. And, clearly, Billy et al weren’t the types to just let their 15 minutes of fame pass them by. I don’t know, I could be wrong. But Billy just seems like a cheater through and through.

You do realize they are in the process of filming a sequel to King of Kong. The story line you're talking about as if it's "real" is Hollywood drama being created in front of your eyes. Are the lawsuits real, sure....will they be settled out of court once the drama is filmed ABSOLUTELY! It amazing how much you guys fall for the soap opera being real life trap. Billy plays the villain on screen.

The reason no-one showed the DK joystick photos before is that the pictures were not in the wild. They were held by a random visitor to this event who had no idea that they meant anything. The problem with "money running out for lawyers" is that individuals who intimidate others through legal means often spend far less on lawyers than they cost to those who they attack. In some cases they represent themselves and spend almost nothing.

Hey guys, I am sure your aware because its a close knit community but just in case.. I just watched a very long episode of Slopes Game room on the Amico & you guys are featured prominently in his time-line of events and it's a complete vindication, not that you needed one at this point but it is. Additionally, DJ Slope was a supporter early on of that system and has a history of doing very objective and well researched documentaries. This makes his inclusion the CU show a profound statement. His point is of course that you guys remained objective and professional even when pushed and that Tommy should have recognized that his targeting of you guys was not reflecting well on him or this brand. Plus, he is doing it with a British accent, which as we all know increases his credibility by 50% at least:) Anyway, wanted to mention! Have enjoyed your guys stuff.

Pat and Ian with the video game PSA's 🤩🤣

Apparently Team Billy is going to keep blaming Dwayne Richard for any “missing footage” that would prove Billy’s innocence.

E3 as a smaller fan centric convention/expo could be neat. 100% makes sense why the big players wouldn't show up.

Where is Mark Thompson's merch store? I want that shirt. EDIT: The movie Pat talks about at around 20:55 is "This Film is Not Yet Rated", released in 2006. It's excellent, and if you've ever thought the MPAA made a weird decision and wanted to learn how the sausage gets made it's a must-see.

A booster gold series would be fun. He's a dude from the 25th century who stole a bunch of villian gadgets from the past in a museum and came back in time to be a rich popular superhero. He's starts off as a total DB showboat and it great. I believe during 52 he wore sponser patches like captain amazing 🤣

I'll probably watch all the new DC stuff, but the one I'm most genuinely curious about is The Authority. I'm not much for DC stuff in general, but The Authority was, at times, a real blast to read. I'm guessing it won't translate well to screen though.

My brother invested in the Amico. I acquired all my childhood games from China systems an I have made a better investment. lol

Batman v Superman is a beautiful film. So many shots are suitable for framing

Well, glad I caught this clip today! I wanted to hear about Billy Mitchell, because I watched Karl's video. But to my surprise, I learned about the Devil's Crush soundtrack! I got my order in, thanks Pat!

Anyone else hear the intro Oh/Whoa of the theme and want it to be followed up with "We're half way there . . ."

The only thing I remember about Blue Beatle is that he has a spaceship that looks like a blue beatle. And he got destroyed within an inch of his life by Doomsday. Way to go BB.

Imagine a Billy and Tommy pod cast

Pretty annoying that the emulation is bad on GoldenEye when they still have the source code to the game and have actually fully ported it to another console in the past. This is the exact kind of game that needs an actual port and not emulator releases.

I was like Ian's brother 3 weeks ago The Amico, but I haven't fell the rabbit hole. (Ugh Switch Joycon's drift... keep fixing them every other months)

Almost finished Goldeneye on Switch and I dunno, I like it. I am using the Pro Pad. Granted, I'm no speed runner like Karl but I'm having a blast with it. YES you do need to remap the controls in both the Switch menu and Goldeneye (good ol' Solitaire controls). Luckily, the Switch saves profiles so it's pretty easy to just switch to the custom mapping on the fly. Once it's mapped, it plays like a normal 1st person shooter. Fun!

I 🥰 the very necessary podcast.

Oooo, that cliffhanger!

I wish I GOT IN EARLY. Only found the show because I was wondering about Intellivision. I might go back and listen to old shows.

“3 RBI stickers! what are they doing with them? I don’t know Ian” lol 34:39

Just some notes on Goldeneye on Switch since I played it some; It's really hard to aim a shot with manual aim because the joycon stick is really not suited to shooters at all. It's really hard to side step because of button layout. played around with the controls some and got it to a slightly better place, so give that a try if your having issues. The game looks great after the visual enhancements. I managed to get through the game on the Agent and going through Secret Agent now.

Goldeneye on the switch even with pro or fabled n64 controller from Nintendo. You feel floaty or on ice. I think the frame rate is too high or the controllers too sensitive or something. Plus they didn't turn it into a dual stick shooter the move is on the right stick not left. Also, n64 emulation has gotten better but its been a hard system to perfect emulation.

I'm gl ad E3 is going down because I hated how it's reation drew all of the industry away from the yearly Winter CES in Las Vegas. Why did I like that better? Simple. I've lived in Las Vegas since I was a bit over a year old (1981) and starting at the age of 10, I was able to go to ES every year and for free so basically I got to see all the amazing upcoming video game stuff for free and I didn't have e to plan a trip out to LA every year because I hate, hate, HATE visiting LA. The dri e is easy as it's less than 4 hours and can usually make it there on one tank of gas so that's not the issue. No, just having to deal with being in the LA and surrounding LA area for any reason. And yes, I will admit, I was and still am bitter due to loosing the biggest video game convention of the year to E3.

Pat, regarding your Cameo problems, go the Disney route. Make a formal announcement that you’re going to STOP doing Cameo calls soon, watch the stragglers come running, do them, then put the practice “into the vault.” Next CUPodcast special, announce they’re coming back for a… LIMITED TIME ONLY, then put them back in the vault after the following special. You’ve worked in business, you understand the logic behind supply and demand.

Nothing is great because it last forever. The flower grows it smells good and then dies

I would bet that Donkey Kong was not programmed for diagonal inputs (combinations), as it was physically impossible for a four way stick that the machine has, by default, to do diagonals. I don't think that Donkey Kong knows what to do with diagonal inputs, and that if would actually create dead spots in the controls of you used an eight way and went diagonal. Diagonal would be like letting go on the Joystick, as the program would treat a diagonal, or combination, input as nothing. Want proof? Emulation is actually the key, as the ROMs are actual arcade code, and you can literally use control options that are different than the arcade machine. Two other games that use four way joysticks are Pac Man and Burger Time. Play those on emulator with an eight way joystick or d-pad, and you won't have a good time. Burger Time, especially, requires tight tolerances for control with some of the platforms that you try to get onto on the board, where you get stuck playing with an eight way. If you play it with a controller with one of those XBOX 360 type sloppy disc D-Pad that keep going diagonal (good luck playing fighting games with that), you keep getting hung up, as it won't read the diagonal inputs, you get dead spots in the controls, and the game becomes much more difficult (and frustrating) than it should be. You need to use a proper D-Pad where you don't keep accidently going diagonal to play these games. A good test for seeing if a D-Pad is good or not is to play a fighting game such as Street Fighter Alpha 3, where diagonals have to be deliberate in order to pull off moves. How about Sub Zero's Freeze in the original Mortal Kombat (I bought the first three Mortal Kombats for the 360 and didn't play them because of the crappy, sloppy D-Pad disc on the 360 controller, which made playing those games extremely frustrating. Those game played fine on my PS3). Anyway, surprise, playing Donkey Kong with a sloppy D-Pad is aggravating, too, because you get dead spots in the control and literally stop moving when you go diagonal. Just like Pac Man, and just like Burger Time, which all use four way joysticks. Remember that these are all very early arcade games with limited memory, storage, and other specs, and code had to be extremely tight due to those limitations. If you were a programmer back then, would you code for diagonal inputs and add to program size if the machine could not do diagonals because the four way joystick made such inputs physically impossible? Donkey Kong plays fine on a Switch, which is the only port of the arcade game for any console, using the four buttons on the left JoyCon, a configuration which makes it difficult to do diagonals due to them being buttons, or on a Switch Lite, which has a great D-Pad. That eight way Joystick would have disqualified him because it was not a four way Joystick, which is what the arcade machine has. That would be the reason. Not because it made the game "easier" or allowed to steer barrels while on a ladder, moves which I think are not possible. If I were doing a score run on an arcade game designed for a four way, I would NOT use an eight way, as the diagonal dead spots would make the game more difficult, in my opinion. In my opinion, I don't think that he tried to do any kind of run on that machine (which would match the eyewitness deposition that she only saw him play for a short time. A score run in Donkey Kong takes hours, and that would have been obvious). I think that he played the game for a few minutes, found the control to be sloppy due to the stick being an eight way, and decided to call it a day. It is my opinion that they then used the machine for photo.
