WTVY - On July 9th, 1981, an arcade game was released in Japan with the unique name of Donkey Kong. Not only was a major success for a company named Nintendo, it introduced two characters who endure to this day.
Queenslander ordered to pay $350,000 plus interest and costs as judge finds his video about American gamer Billy Mitchell was ‘recklessly’ based on false claim
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.
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.
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.
Alleged concept art from Vicarious Visions' canceled Donkey Kong title, Donkey Kong Freedom, has emerged on the internet.
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
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.)
Awh yes, back in those days we gamers wanted the consoles with the most realistic looking arcade games on them. This is where ColecoVision shined. I remember the big headlines when Donkey Kong Jr came out as well.
I remember it well myself I was 9 years old when Calico Vision hit the market and Atari would no longer be top dog! Thanks Calico Vision for molding me into a life long gamer!
