RFC2324 posted:Look up his imdb page. In 2012 he played himself in the movies The King of Cons and The Perfect Fraudman. How did no one figure this out? Playing "himself" in two documentaries.

Phlegmish posted:Why did everyone believe this guy, don't you need some kind of proof The way that Twin Galaxies worked you had to send a tape (actual VHS) to one of the refs that they employed. The guy would watch the tape, verify that it was real, and then approve it on the website. Only problems were that the guy he used was his best friend (or at least a good friend) and also they gave the guy himself authority to post scores. So he just sort of posted whatever he wanted. So it was more "I got 69 billion points in Mario, and I sent the tape to Dave" and Dave was like "Uh, yeah, confirmed."

These people, their video game authority treehouse club and the whole highscore drama was also the focus of the 2007 documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Surprise, absolutely everyone involved is incredibly insufferable and awful.

oldpainless posted:Nobody cared actually no it's much funnier than that EVERYBODY cared, because this guy was basically a god to this weird subculture as being the best player ever and he made a living Being Good At Videogames in the 80s It was literally an Emperor's New Clothes situation where they would have had to admit to themselves that Todd, glorious Todd was not a perfect person Also Twin Galaxies, which is just an Arcade that started keeping track of video game scores, REALLY REALLY wants to be a big important website and ALSO they all know Todd and admitting that they've been conned or that "some guys we know who ARE NOT LIARS said it happened" isn't a good enough standard ruins their reputation it's this weird large scale corruption over THE LEAST IMPORTANT THING and I love it

Said friend is also now in prison for pedophilia and Rogers claimed all of the tapes he sent in were confiscated when the dude got arrested. That also wasn't true.

Gene Hackman Fan posted:which is funny because didn't billy mitchell get stripped of his title as well? What blew me away the most was all those tech industry millionaires who retired in their 20's and 30's who decided they'd spend every waking moment of the rest of their lives playing lovely 80's arcade games with other dweebs, and developed a social hierarchy around their scores. Nerds really are the worst.
