In Anthony's brand new 8-Bit Chronicles column, he conducts a Donkey Kong retrospective to discover why Mario's first game's revered today.
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
President Shuntaro Furukawa says he doesn’t think component shortages will be an issue due to new plan.
The 2017 Switch is based on the 2015 Tegra X1 so even if Nintendo is using technology from 2022, that alone still represents a significant improvement.
Should open pre-orders through the E-shop for a period before making it available through stores. And now that COVID is out the way, you can make in store preorders mandatory too. People interested wouldn't have much of an issue driving by if it meant keeping scalpers at bay for a bit.
I mean, the problem is these a-holes have bots that eat up every sites inventory. Then they sell it on eBay for stupid prices. No matter what you try to do we’re still going to have to fight through these human pieces of sh*t to get these damn consoles at launch.
Well I'll either see if I can get one online against bots or wait till they're saturated and buy in a brick and morter store. Waiting isn't an issue anyway I have enough games to wait out the shortage
I can't really understand people rushing out to buy a console at release, I'll wait a year, two years, etc... until I can walk into a store and buy one if I have to, I'm not paying scalper prices.
