Posted a write-up today, following up on a previous piece on achievement badges at Donkey Kong Forum. This time, we took a detailed look at one of the most insane gaming challenges ever devised, and how it was finally conquered. perfectpacman.com/2024/06/04/b...

AH SAY, AH, SAY, YOU MANURE LOOKIN' SONOVAGUN. YA THINK YOU GONNA END THE WHOLE UNIVERSE? A SIMPLE LITTLE MIX O' THE SWEET KISS OF A LIL OL' MAIDEN AND SOME OF THAT THERE HOLY WATER GONNA SKIP RIGHT PAST YOUR FINAL FORM LIKE A BIG FELLAH SKIPPIN' PAST THE SALAD BAR.

Do you think some day, someone at Microsoft will invent a functional Windows file search that doesn't act like you're trying to divide by infinity?

I wrote some fun words about the history of badges at Donkey Kong Forum. (This also may be foreshadowing to a future write-up on a very particularly impressive gaming achievement.) perfectpacman.com/2024/04/29/b...

A statement from perfectpacman.com: perfectpacman.com/2024/04/01/p...

In other news, we wrapped up our recent Twin Galaxies bounties. This included FF7 without materia, Robotron with a broken arrow, and original Zelda without swords. We've also posted new challenges on SMB3, Missile Command, Kirby Super Star, and Phantasy Star.

"Part 2" has arrived! As promised, 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.

"Part 2" will be coming soon. In the meantime, if you haven't read Tanner Fokkens' rebuttal to Billy Mitchell's "expert witness" Michael Zyda, you should do so.

It’s finally time to begin closing one of the stupidest chapters in video game history. Today, we talk Tash, we review what Twin Galaxies and Billy Mitchell did and did not get out of their out-of-court settlement, and we look at one very nutty professor.

Tanner Fokkens (the hardware engineer who wrote the mammoth analysis on arcade and MAME transitions in 2022) has just published a response to Billy Mitchell's "expert witness", Dr. Michael Zyda. Read it here: perfectpacman.com/2024/01/23/t...

It's official! Disgraced gaming cheater Billy Mitchell has SURRENDERED. I know, the negotiated statement sucks, but the bottom line is, Billy didn't get his scores back on the real leaderboard, and he almost certainly didn't get any money. Read about it here: perfectpacman.com/2024/01/16/s...

Or, if you'd prefer to read about other liars, I did a write up on Jirard Khalil "The Completionist" threatening to sue the Internet (possibly with the thought that Billy Mitchell's lawsuit against Karl Jobst would work to his advantage). perfectpacman.com/2023/12/16/j...

Of course, if you still haven't seen Veritas' AMAZING nearly four-hour documentary on the Billy Mitchell case, do yourself a favor and set aside the time to do so. You'll be glad you did. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PySD...

If you aren't familiar with the "disqualification" motion, Billy's attorneys filed to disqualify Tash (TG's lawyer). It was the most hilariously desperate thing ever, but that's the sort of thing you do when you have no case.

Took me forever days to finish a new update on the Billy Mitchell lawsuit. I cover the "disqualification" motion, some damning new testimony, a new motion for sanctions, a few interesting interpretations from the judge, and the dismissal of Walter Day. perfectpacman.com/2024/01/05/e...

I find myself more irrationally annoyed than usual by the extra distance it takes to type "4" instead of "3".

Reminder, if you haven't yet seen this new video detailing the evidence in the Billy Mitchell cheating saga, you absolutely must. This is quality gaming journalism at its finest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PySD...

I finally got caught up on Karl Jobst's and Mutahar's update videos on the Completionist charity scam. I'm now halfway through hbomberguy's blockbuster on plagiarism. And now, later this afternoon, Veritas is premiering a THREE-HOUR EPIC on Billy Mitchell. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PySD...

I completed all NES Dragon Warrior 3 RetroAchievements without ever using the "Fight" command. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRbP...

I did a write-up on the Jirard/Completionist charity fraud, going over both the "best case scenario" and the "worst case scenario". perfectpacman.com/2023/11/20/c...

Meanwhile, if you're not totally familiar with the story of disgraced gaming cheater Billy Mitchell, check out the recently updated "Evidence against Billy Mitchell". If you skim through, you'll find it answers pretty much any question you may have. perfectpacman.com/evidence/

This follows a motion in September, where TG sought termination of Billy's case on the basis of his fake plaque fraud and other lies. That motion was declined due to a filing technicality. So will Judge Chang now finally put a stop to Billy's madness? twitter.com/ersatz_cats/...

More Billy Mitchell news! Billy’s lawyers are trying to have the TG's lawyer DISQUALIFIED from the case. It is the most hilariously desperate thing you have ever seen. Meanwhile, TG has filed for "issue sanctions" against Billy. Read all the latest here: perfectpacman.com/2023/11/13/t...
