@@smalismThe problem is, many people do not realize the ways of grandiose people who have narcissistic and pathological lying tendencies. I used to be attracted to people who were like that because I have a mother like that, but I realize now with these people and can spot people who want to be "The center of attention, the star of the show, and the community savior. While not everyone is the same, and sometimes this can be the case with people and being grandiose and talktive/wanting-attention, people need to watch and notice suble instances of abuse,etc. It's hard ot know without actually having knowledge on the subject though. For some, they want attention because they were never given it. For me, I always loved talking, because I had parents who never listened to me. They were busy always trying to be right and be heard, always talking over me/each-other. So many people get caught up and believe others are "telling the truth." Whenever I engage in conversations, I try to do so in good faith, but so many people are trolling, want to be right, don't care, or have an agenda so it's hard to know what you're dealing with. WITh Bitchell, he only cares about using others to further himself. He didn't care about the other guy, and the reason is that this Vanburen guy is probably "Star Struck."

The only thing I can see from Billy Mitchell's point of view is this: 1) He's a ludicrously gifted classic video game player. 2) Despite that, he's also been outclassed by others in recent times. 3) He's had so much of his identity wrapped up in being the top Donkey Kong player that he was willing to cheat to keep it going. 4) He didn't expect the world at large to care enough about long forgotten video games to think they'd a) Feel the need to catch him out (thanks in no small part to the King of Kong documentary) and b) Once they have caught him out, relentlessly attempt to expose him. 5) Now that he realises the world hasn't bought his lies, he probably feels like he's too far gone to admit it now. There would have been a point where he could have admitted he was deceitful, but he chose to double down on the lies instead. I'm positive if he could go back in time, he wouldn't have cheated, or at least wouldn't have lied when caught. None of the cheating changes point 1. His skills at Donkey Kong and Pac-Mac far surpass most of the world. If he graciously let Steve Wiebe win, he would have been applauded for passing on the torch, and his Twin Galaxy entourage would have continued to respect him. But he's tainted his reputation and would now be living a very stressful existence. I feel for him in some strange way. It's not like he's killed someone. He's just cheated at a video game contest. But until he admits that, the world's not going to let him move on.

Credits to vanburen for accepting he was wrong, and I'm sorry for him that he was misled so bad by Mitchell. He looked genuinely sad and betrayed in that video he made and I hope he'll do better in the future

And it's the ppl that can't admit that that are weak. It takes a strong secure person to admit they are wrong.

I am so glad to see Van buran not only listen to the feedback, seek out the answers and then make a legit acknowledgement to say he was wrong and then move forward.

This is what a sociopath and pathological liar looks like. It's important to realize people like this exist, because many of them do much worse than cheat at video games.

It's SO rare these days. Flat earthers, climate deniers, anti vax cultists, conspiracy nutjobs attempting a coup, people can get so removed from facts and evidence but violently attack anyone who presents it to them.. even just the petty tribalism of opinions or fandoms, people take it super personally when someone corrects them or insults their favorite thing like it insults them personally haha So yeah, in this day and age seeing a dude take stock, realize he was misled and admit he was wrong publicly, that shows more scruples, integrity and balls than anything billy has ever done.

This man could have been a Basketball, but chose to be the hero we needed! What a legend.

I think what makes all of this so interesting is that its a classic tale: pure Good vs. pure Evil. It's Tolkien-esque, in a way. We're still behind you Steve, 100%!

As a currently divorcing dad wanting at least some times with his kids, honesty and kindness bring you nowhere and you lose everything. Just my two cents.

I give Vanburen huge props for coming out and saying that he was wrong and that he was being used as well. The same thing applies to the other dude by adding more information about what he said before. Yeah Billy is pretty much done here because once the lawsuit is decided and dismissed with prejudice which means Billy can't do anymore lawsuits involving Twin Galaxies or Karl here.

0:13 Billy Mitchell just popping out from around the corner is such a jumpscare, I love it

One of my FAVORITE Christmas movies is Four Christmases (2008), and I always crack up at Steve's cameo where he's just chillin playing Donkey Kong.
