We received this note today and are passing it along! (This is not an endorsement or recommendation of any kind from TG, just sharing the info as asked. It's up to the community to make any determinations or choice on its own to support!)

------

Hi,

I’m Blake Faucette, and I’m reaching out today to let you know about a new pinball documentary that I’ve been working on in partnership with Lorien Green. It’s an indie project, but we’re close to the finish line, and have launched a Kickstarter to fund those final steps, including a Blu-ray release with lots of bonus material.

In an era of digital, streaming, cloud-based, and electronic entertainment, pinball is a paradox. With most forms of modern entertainment downloadable to the palm of your hand, how does a 300-pound box of wires and lights survive, and continue to thrive? That’s the story we set out to tell with this documentary.

There are older documentaries on pinball, as well as the upcoming biopic, Pinball: the Man Who Saved the Game, about Roger Sharpe (who is also featured in our film). But we wanted to write the next chapter in pinball’s history. It’s a chapter where an in-person, electronic-yet-kinetic hobby meets up with social media and modern technology, and evolves.

If you’re interested, you can see the trailer on our Kickstarter page, and we’d be grateful if you could help spread the word. Additional images from the film can be found here. Please reach out with any questions.

Regards,
Blake Faucette

Although my humor and sarcasm sometimes go misunderstood, in this case they apply perfectly to the situation as illustrated in the court documents provided below.

Again.......

Jace Hall: What a great score board, I'd like to purchase it

Billy Mitchell: >snickering< You sure can!.

Jace Hall: There's no dishonest misrepresentation of facts with this scoreboard is their ?

Billy Mitchell: No

Jace Hall" I'll buy it!

Billy Mitchell: SUCKER! :)

There was a warranty that The Twin Galaxies score board did not contain any untrue or misleading statements of fact.

This is a flat out lie and Billy knew it prior to this. This is also EASILY proven thanks to the so-called "documentary" King of Kong that could never have been made the way it was if not for the willful lies and collusion of OLD Twin Galaxies.

What is a documentary?:

noun

plural: documentay

: a presentation (such as a film or novel) expressing or dealing with factual events : a documentary presentation

A movie or television, or radio program that provides a factual record or report.


Steve being the first to beat Billy's long standing 1982 arcade world record is NOT a factual event. Fact is Tim Sczerby did.

Billy being the current record holder when Steve finally submitted a valid WR performance is NOT a factual event. Fact is Tim Sczeby was. The facts were known by Billy and Walter prior to filming.

I can guarantee there is a lot to work with here when the issue is brought to the courts attention.

King of Kong is a fraudulent documentary at best and could never have existed if not for the willful corruption involved with OLD Twin Galaxies.

See court document. Jace hall was played for a sucker by Billy Mitchell like so many of us were.


Oh, look what I found on the current Twin Galaxies scoreboard as of March 25th 2023. (see blow pic) Seems this score was listed on the Twin Galaxies scoreboard for over 22 years, predates Steve Webie and was the actual arcade world record score when Steve entered the fray, NOT Billy Mitchell as deceptively indicated on the Twin Galaxies scoreboard prominently featured in the "documentary" film.

How could such an egregious oversight happen when filming a documentary that paid liferights featuring the very same topic matter? How could this happen? Perhaps Billy Mitchell, Walter DAZE and OLD Twin Galaxies could answer this when the matter is brought up in court. :)

This is very serious. I know the ...."for the sake of a more palatable and entertaining story"... excuse will not justify such a criminal act of fraud as told to me by a lawyer in the entertainment field. Clear cut and easily provable case of libel and defamation here......... Billy is NOT the victim, Tim is.

Either way, one can definitely make and prove 100% the Twin Galaxies scoreboard did and still does contain false and misleading statements thanks to Billys complicity in helping fabricate a fraudulent documentary film that coincidently favored himself for profit.

Jace Hall has a slam dunk case here. A good lawyer that actually knows what a documentary is (unlike most of the CAG community) could win the counter suit citing this matter alone. T

I have done a couple thousand dollars worth of valuable and useful legal research here, unlike the absolutely worthless research done by others that only produced a photo, and with it, can only prove Billy once stood in front of a non functioning DK arcade machine with an incorrect joystick and NOTHING ELSE!

However the MAME breakdown and analysis last year is excellent and far, far more valuable than the joystick photo.

Someone could make a post about puppies and kittens and I'd bet my house you would find some way to spin it around to that damn KOK documentary. Got it!! Donkey Kong is an animal, just like puppies and kittens. Billy Mitchell has now ruined cats and dogs for all mankind!! It's insane. Talk about something else Skywarp! You have to enjoy other things that make you happy to discuss. Vehicles, locations....other video games since this is a gaming site...nope, can't do that because this website that has completely separated from the old TG ways is somehow a lie.

Seriously, airplanes, model trains, exercising, sports, movies not named KOK. Talk about something else, please.

I apologize for any insults. I thought I was communicating with intelligent savvy people who understood what a documentary actually is. Obviously I'm not. I should know by now that I cannot expect such comprehension and understanding from a group of video game heads who cannot discern fiction from reality and also think re-writing of a historical event to favor different people for profit is acceptable practice in documentary film making.

It would be like me insulting the dog for crapping on the floor. The dog is just an ignorant animal and doesn't know better, its just what he instinctively does. Not the dogs fault if my mental capacity exceeds the dogs own understanding on the matter.

The same rationale can be applied to most the CAG community's understanding of the word "documentary"


I truly am sorry most of the CAG community is ignorant on such a basic matter.

Unfortunately Jace Hall got a huge taste of what a lot of people got when doing business and/or trusting Walter DAZE and Billy "The Scam" Mitchell. Jace got lied to and taken horrible advantage of. Jace was definitely sold a scoreboard that DID NOT fit the warranty description. This will be EASY for his lawyer to prove.

Everybody's favorite fake A$$, fraudulent documentary , King of Kong: A Hard Drive Full of Save States.......er.....I mean Fist Full of Quarters...........is 100% proof of this. According to #TEAMBILLY, Billy's detractors are just "haters" ! Ah....yea....under the circumstance provoked by Billy's own actions....., ya think so! Really! Gee I wonder why!?! For those abuse by Billy's scams, what's to like?

I've waited over 15 years for the matter to go to court and I don't want anyone blowing it for Mr. Hall by solely relying on some ridiculous joystick photo that only proves Billy once stood in front of a DK arcade game without an original stick and nothing else.

Billy likes to operate in the shadows of secrecy doesn't he?

Billy: "Shushhhhhh, Be vewy vewy quite.....I committing a fwaud.....huh..huh..huh..huh"

Jace was going to buy TG from Adler before Walter and Billy got their fingers in on the money. Referencing a purchase agreement does not indicate any manipulation of the intent to purchase I don’t think.

That's the problem, you don't think.

Who is doing the negotiating for the sale of Twin Galaxies? Billy Mitchell. Its stated as a response from Billy to Mr. Hall that the scoreboard does NOT contain any untrue or misleading statements of fact. This is laughable! :)

Meanwhile , the King of Kong so-called documentary featuring the Twin Galaxies scoreboard and Billy Mitchell himself does just that. Lie!!

In retrospect, only a fool would negotiate a business deal with Billy Mitchell whether it be for the ownership of Twin Galaxies or a stick of gum, I can honestly say I'm sorry I ever trusted Billy Mitchell or his supporters......twice. Betrayal and back stabbing are what one gets when trying to trust or forgive Billy Mitchell.

I'm sorry I was mis-led to believe OLD Twin Galaxies was an honest and reputable score keeping organization that treated people fairly. The existence of the fraudulent King of Kong "documentary" is evidence that OLD Twin Galaxies was neither an honest, reputable organization, nor treated people fairly and with this I'm referring to what went on behind the scenes when concocting the fraudulent documentary.

Just ran across a "documentary film" from 2007 ( not 2001 as deceptively advertised) and saw the Twin Galaxies scoreboard featured!

WOW! What a find!

Here is an "in your face" instance of a misleading statement of fact contained on the Twin Galaxies scoreboard that Mr. Hall was trying to avoid before buying Twin Galaxies.

Note what Jace Halls Twin Galaxies scoreboard displays what the arcade world record was at the time (top pic) does NOT match the Twin Galaxies scoreboard shown in a "documentary" film featuring the very same topic matter. A good lawyer representing NEW Twin Galaxies who has a basic understanding of what a documentary consists of (unlike the majority of the CAG community) would want to know why. I know the " for the sake of a more palatable and entreating story" will NOT be justification. Hmmmmm ............."could be" fraud involved and who benifited....oh.....that's right......Billy Mitchell. Gee 2+2 = what? :)

I'm sure Billy Mitchell allowed for the re-writing of someone else's historical event because the " more palatable and entertaining story" really moved him........into a bigger bank balance! The crook!

No need to thank me for the free legal research. Already I've done more conclusive research in three hours than what the lawyers have done in three years.....for free. There's a lot for NEW Twin Galaxies legal team to work with here.

I tried to interject during the dispute but was not allowed. Another example of "Lets not listen to someone who actually knows what they are talking about because we think they are not a "cool celebrity" like the actors in the scripted , fraudulent KoK film."

I could have saved some time. The only way one can beat the current Twin Galaxies WR of 558,xxx on the 1983 Cinematronics arcade Dragon's Lair is either using unlimited lives or a dipswitch selectable continuation option that may or may not involve inserting extra coins. There is NO OTHER WAY! PERIOD!. Using a continuation or unlimited lives, anyone here even basically familiar with the timing and point and click nature could play for hours, even marathon the game and wipe out the current 558,xxx WR.

I most certainly could. However, breaking 494k (my documented and provable PB) within the span of a single 5 man game that ends after the first Dragon's Lair sequence is a completely different story and involves a more intimate knowledge of the scene structure, timing involved in which to play certain wild card scenes as well as the correct difficulty setting and luck. I have only broken 490k on the game seven times in the last almost 40 years! I did have a 495,859 set back in 1991 but these kind of "undocumented scores" only count if you have ties to scammer film makers and an unscrupulous score board to bribe. :)

The current Twin Galaxies 5 man 558,xxx was NOT obtained after completing only one Dragon's Lair sequence or using less than 5 lives. This is for absolute 100% certainty.

I could put a $9,999,9999,9999,999,999,9999,999,999,999,999,.99 dollar bounty on the current Dragon's Lair arcade 5 man WR using only 5 lives and one completion of the Dragon's lair sequence and nobody in the world could beat it except....... Billy Mitchell. :)

Snowflake, you know how to play the game. If theres an arcade close to you tell them to set the game accordingly and just play it for hours on end. If you can play Tapper for 24 hrs, you can certainly do the same for Dragon's Lair however what would make a marathon Dragon' s Lair harsh is the fact you will NOT have any break time. You will get your 3 or 5 lives and that's it. No extra lives or banking extra lives for breaks, A bucket to pee in or paper plates to crap on is recommended. :)

However, you would most like have to provide a working PR7820 or LD-V1000 LD player which would be like finding a needle in a haystack especially the PR7820. ( Gotta be original hardware ya know. Only the LD-V1000 or PR7820 would be considered original hardware for the game as the arcade units came with both)

I'm sure anyone operating a first generation LD game has replaced the original LD player with a MPEG generating computer by now.

I know what you mean. That fraudulent documentary featuring Billy Mitchell along with his recent lawfare scams and hi-jinx have driven me to drink on a few occasions as well. :)

Just waiting for NEW Twin Galaxies to put Billy and his minions down like rabid animals.

Oh .....and I'd like to give some legal advice. New Twin Galaxies should mention that there WILL DEFINATELY BE prosecution to the fullest extent of the law for perjury committed on the part of #TeamBilly and his simpleton supporters should Billy and his lackeys try to run courtroom testimonies like they do a documentary film.

This way New Twin Galaxies lawyers can ensure an honest testimony from Billy and his clown supporters, who without penalty of perjury ,may feel obligated to deliberately misinform a judge and jury with falsehoods because they may think such false testimony "make for a more palatable and entertaining story" .

Under penalty of perjury , I'm sure the judge and jury will be sparred the "more palatable and entreating story" malarkey they would have otherwise heard if perjury was not enforced.

So what if it pursuing a perjury charge costs more, its the only way to ensure an honest and accurate testimony from those clowns. Better yet, many if none at all will even bother to give statements if they know there is actual punishment for their B.S. this time.

-Dumbassery? What do you know about it to make such a comment?

-Yea I'm afraid so. Classic gaming has gone that far down the crapper hasn't it? Seems the only time the forum lights up is when I start posting.

For real, I read like a half sentence of the posts

- That's your problem, moron. Then how can you even pretend to know what's actually going on when you have less the attention span of a gold fish?

, start laughing at how stupid the skyfugger dude is.

-That's Skywarp, the first Transformer activated on planet earth! You laugh because you have no clue to the matter at hand These lawsuits are a form of entertainment to literally everybody in the community except myself and those actually being sued. I may be the only one that can offer NEW Twin Galaxies some usefull input on the matter while the rest of you entertainment seekers can only watch and say...."Duh, gee dis dum-ass $hit....Me no understand! Me no get it!" " Me know Steve good guy, Billy bad guy me understand" FYI both are liars and crooks.

Can't "Beavis and Butthead" myself thru the rest,-Well when you can't even get through a single sentence I'm not suprised.

- You may want to learn to read first.

- Sorry but I assumed video game nerds could at least read and comprehend more than one sentence. I can see modern college for millennials is nothing more than frat house party time with beer pong recesses.

and I swear, I don't even think he realizes how stupid he makes himself sound,

-That's because you have no clue as to what's going on as demonstrated by your goldfish like attention span. You already stated you can't read more than a sentence...dumbe ass.

over and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and....

FFS, bury yur head in a hole somewhere, lol.

-Thats pretty funny, Just think of the responses you could give if you actually had a brain and the capacity to read beyond one sentence to know what's really going on, you may be dangerous at such a point. :) lol.



"Someone make him go away",

-Been 15 years and I haven't gone away, not until Billy Mitchell gets what's coming to him in court or anywhere else.

and someone put some cool bounties on some Atari 2600 games, so the people that actually ever mattered the most around here can mebbe have something entertaining to give a crap about?

-So your saying that anyone here that set a WR and was cheated out of it doesn't matter if the topic is exploited in a documentary film?


I hate that the only notifications I get are from this dumbasses activity.

-Then block it moron! There are actually some people in the CAG community that take this lawsuit against NEW Twin Galaxies very seriously and not just a form of entertainment. I've waited 15 years for it! I want Mr. Hall and Mr Jobst to stick these lawsuits so far down Billy Mitchells throat that Billy $hits docket numbers! I don't see it as "entertainment" but justice long over due.
