The home for Pixel Burn, a sarcastic round-up of the week's videogame news.

Instead of a dry & boring "Publisher X did Y" sort of summary, spewed out by someone reading a press release, I try to keep things entertaining as well as informative! By cutting open the week's events in gaming like a corpse on a mortuary slab, then rummaging around in its hideous bloody guts for something resembling the truth. Or something funny at least.

    why couldnt they just bring in a rule where only points are recognised on competition days at designated machines or at least have witnesses . its like saying i won the lottery but u cant see the ticket or the numbers just trust me bro they should do an update where on any new version of donkey kong they should have biggest cheat billy mitchell on the screen when it loads

    It makes me laugh that a) people's whole lives rest on their score in a dumb video game and b) as pathetic as that is, some are even worse and didn't even score what they claim and had to resort to fraud.

    whats frustrating is the cheaters are genuinely great players instead of graciously accepting defeat and working hard to reclaim their records they are too desperate to hang on to their former glory by any means necessary. i would be happy to be half as good a gamer as these guys

    Something in this saga that is overlooked is that Billy called out Steve Sanders for lying about an impossible DK score at the event where BM did his 847k score; BUT Billy was claiming a score of 20million on Millipede, a score that beats today’s top score by over 15 million points

    I tried this moth 7 years ago and I don't know what i'm doing with my life but I'm once again fighting this piece of garbage boss design and hate Hollow Knight more than any game I've ever played. What a nice note to end your game on, looks like the sequel isn't in financial and developmental struggle at all.

    Just want everyone to know that Billy’s portrait, displayed worshipfully at the entrance of Funspot, I’m thinking for decades, has been quietly taken down . Funspot is the New Hampshire arcade where much of King of Kong was filmed. Funspot had honored him forever as player of the century, or world record holder, or whatever. No more. In fact, I saw no evidence of Billy Mitchell’s existence anywhere at Funspot.

    Notice the world records seem to be held by Americans. Are these world records the same as the “World series” where only Americans are allowed to enter. I dispute All the records on twin galaxies. They have a top score for asteroids and Galatian’s which I have beaten……so am I the World Champion…? And yes I to have a video tape.

    Funny coming back to this all these years later, curious as to what happened to those who actually did invest with Fig, with the Microsoft buyout and all. Being a fan of the first, did you play the eventual released Psychonauts 2? It's probably one of my favourite games of all time now, hope you're well dude.

    Just some DK lore: Donkey Kong retired, and Donkey Kong Jr. assumed the mantle of Donkey Kong. Senior Kong took the title of Cranky Kong and can be found in the SNES games pretty much telling kids to get off his lawn. The title of Donkey Kong has something to do with New Donk City.

    I love how the producers/director of KOK had the foresight to say... Dude, something smells real fishy here. I think we should record and let him talk. Even 10 years before the discovery you get the idea of them seeding the idea of how Mitchell cheated his way to the top, this can be seen when they shoeed that last part with Steve's wife and his interview, as well as some steve early comments about how he is suddenly MR TAPE. To me that's a piece of history rhey were able to capture and how they instantly notice. Dude, Billy! Brian and Todd are massive jerks, sure the movie will make itself😅

    Fantastic video. You are very good at telling a story and presenting facts well. It's a shame your sub count doesn't reflect your work quality and dedication. I subbed anyway in case you ever decide to do more videos like this one. I know this must have taken you an incredible amount of time to make and research everything so it is highly appreciated. So far I had only really seen Karl Jobsts videos of Billy, but you are easily as great at compiling facts and telling it like it is. Kudos.
