Almost? Hitler almost won WW2 but you didn't see him bragging.

I think the self afflicted bullet in his head had a great deal to do with that or else maybe he would be bragging.

Lol, reminds me of... "Attempted murder? Now honestly, what is that!? Do they give a Nobel prize for ATTEMPTED chemistry?"

I've been following this, it's a shame as Billy is a POS and needs karma, but karl and his team really fumbled the court case. I'm not surprised at the verdict from the judge as the case was never really about his known cheating, but the seemingly now false claim from karl about apollo's passing being attributed to billy, and his lack of willingness to meaningfully backtrack and apologise for the claim.

Jobst also has his own controversies that were shown on Discord so I can't have much sympathy for him either. He is just one step away from that old tired angry at everything right wing manosphere.

"angry at everything right-wing manosphere"? What on earth are you talking about? lol You must be a libtard looking in the mirror again.

Dude crossed a line when he made that claim about Apollo. Seems the second that was brought up the courts lost all interest in the cheating allegations and just focused on that instead.

LoveSpuds78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

What i find interesting is that i had only really been exposed to Jobst's content in respect of the court cases, so I thought it was a slam dunk that Billy would lose. Goes to show the dangers of relying on one interested party's 'version' of the facts I guess.

I am still left in no doubt that Mitchell is a scum bag mind you, and it really stings to thing of him getting that pay out too.

Queenslander? I'll talk slower then. HAHAHAA

gigoran877d ago

I don't support either side passionately. One is a accused cheater with a lot of evidence against him, and the other has allegedly said some pretty spice stuff in the past. With this court case settled now I guess both of them at some point has told lies. I would think the right side to back is the one that is trying to prove Billy cheated.

If this game's still in the works, I'll be excited for it - it's been too long since we've gotten a brand new DK and that concept sounds like a good test for the Switch 2

The Mario vs. Donkey Kong demo just hit Nintendo Switch.

Guess I know what my kids and I are playing tonight! Looks just our speed. (They sure as heck aren’t playing Sony’s stealth-dropped free Silent Hill.)
